Bought 2 pairs of running shoes whilst in the U.S last week, from New Balance, Tampa.
Got a cracking deal on them, too.
Usually $150 + tax / pair.
Paid $225 + tax, for the 2 pairs. smile

They're €170 / pair locally!

So does crepe protect have a teflon-esque effect?

I have only treated them twice in last 3 months and I was out running in all st weather mate, it’s pretty tough stuff to keep all the grime from sticking. Not sure on Teflon though

Not new (maybe 10 years old) but just been demoted from storage to be used as daily runners.

That's a massive difference well worth protecting them then, cant believe someone actually runs in their boost!!

Sold 1 million pairs apparently, I'm sure it also makes business sense.

You probably already know this but the high top ultra boosts actually have a coating from the factory.

Just entered the draws for the YEEZY powerphase out this weekend, also on confirmed app.
I bought a pair of these...was by pure chance, I didn't realise they were being released Saturday and was on there and they had my size left, so I got some.

They look smart, less 'trainery' so quite pleased with them to be honest, complete impulse buy.
