They’re not bad copies. But when you know, you know 
True 
Harder to spot when you’re wearing them, easier when taken a picture at eye level. They’re ok for $20 though!

From the wife. 
Just like buses, you wait for one and then......
Had these two arrive a day apart which pleased her indoors no end
Tried to argue that I had hardly bought anything this year only to then have pointed out to me the 7 other pairs I have actually bought so far. Feels like less though....
I know a few passed on the Jordans because of the price, I don't know what the price jump was but the materials are spot on so I wasn't disappointed at all. The different suedes are all really good, quality overall was much better than a lot of recent Nike releases. The box matches the shoes as well which is always a nice touch. Nice autumn pair.
The Bape's won't be for everyone but I like the subtle embossed pattern on the leather. The gold dubrae will probably have to go though it's a bit much! They come in the same box as the blue camo ones that were released earlier in the year that's really nice and the second pair of laces are camo ones so I'll swap those in straight away. Another pair for summer so they'll go away for a while now. Hopefully that'll be it for the year now otherwise I'll need to move out.

The SB Dunk does have some extra padding in them. Some people go up half a size.
I go for my regular size and after a few wears they stretch out a bit.
Thanks for the heads up regarding sizing. Bit gutted as the bigger sizes have all sold out, I know they're not exactly exciting but it's a pair I was really after. I go for my regular size and after a few wears they stretch out a bit.

The Shadow originals are down to £60 or so and, although I don't need another pair, the want is bloody killing me. Anyone know what's the fit like in terms of width on the Saucony Shadow Originals/5000/6000 compared to the Jazz OG Vintage? I ask as confusingly an 8/42.5 in the OG vintage is fine however the Jazz Peak Trail in an 8(42 confusingly rather than 42.5) is a bit narrower in midfoot and toebox.
I would love to add a pair of Shadows but it's hard to find a shop with them to try and the sizing seems to be inconsistent across models.

Were the Stan Smith Bape's a recent raffle? I'm sure I had a notification on Confirmed app but may have dismissed them out of hand because I've never had affinity for Stan Smith's, not sure why but I used to be more of a Superstar man.missing the VR6 said:

Nike have 25% off most things on website inc dunks j1’s makes sale dunks £60
Some of the Dunks and shoes i'm interested in the 25% doesn't work on.I've been curious about these for a while but never fancied the price. I picked up the J2 Balvin for £121. Really not sure whether I will like and keep them, but for a shoe which was originally £270 retail it's a "steal". They have black cement J2 for just under £80 which is pretty cheap considering it was £175 when it released a few months ago. Only thing is I don't think I like the J2 silhouette!

I'm afraid I've only ever owned a pair of Jazz. I have wide feet and the Jazz has been perfect for me. Worrying to hear Saucony have inconsistent fits across ranges but at least they have free returns on their website.

Yeah they were, although I won them from END (shocking I know!) not Confirmed, so I assume like the last pair they weren't massively popular or had a decent size run. I'm the opposite, can't get on with Superstars at all, something about the shell toe annoys me. The only pair I have are the Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart ones and you can't really wear those easily but they were too nice to pass up
