Anyone into trainers/sneakers?

Damn, don't they just!I assume they might come UK way in a raffle or Stockx, at a premium i expect.
I'd happily get a fake pair from ebay if they looked this good.
I saw preview shots in a booklet a few weeks ago, but these are the first proper promo pics I've seen (other than the 24K Bangkok website).
And Mighty Crown is indeed the same reggae reference.

Actually, impossible cop. 14th in Tokyo, 16th in Bangkok, and then Barcelona date not up yet
Yeah, hence me saying they'll likely be impossible to get. I'm guessing there'll be some sort of release for the rest of us but I'm not holding my breath.And Mighty Crown is indeed the same reggae reference.

If they're in Bangkok this time next month i have my mate there then who's said he will get them for me.And Mighty Crown is indeed the same reggae reference.
Fingers crossed.

Saw them! They did have some nice natural leather high tops but one errant splash of liquid and they’re done.
I bought these (I know they’ll be questionable to most but I don’t give a f
k)
At £625, LV branding apart what makes them 'better' than the equivalent offerings from Nike/Adidas etc? Is the quality of the stitching/leather etc a step above? Are they made by hand in Italy? I've always thought trainers by fashion houses seem disproportionately expensive for what they are.I bought these (I know they’ll be questionable to most but I don’t give a f
k)If I buy a pair of Church's I can see where the money has gone over and above a pair from let's say Clarks. Is it a similar situation here or are you just paying ££ because it says LV/Prada/McQueen etc on it?

I'm sure I won't be popular on this thread by saying that I really don't think the big fashion house trainers are in keeping with true sneaker / streetwear culture. I know there is a lot of cross over and all that, but these expensive LV/Prada/ Gucci/ McQueen do nothing for me whatsoever. They may as well be from George at Asda.
I've said exactly the same before. Trainers by trainer companies only for me.pc.iow said:
Well they've arrived today.
Ordered on 24th October via StockX so it does work.
Wish I'd got the next size up though!
They feel just about long enough but the width is too tight.
Is that a trait of these Nikes?
Good to see you have received your stockx order. How well is the shoe box protected? Ordered on 24th October via StockX so it does work.

Mines currently in the U.K. now with yodel (gulp)
@ Gameface did you order something through them too? If so have you got them yet?

I did have to pick a lump of glue off that was stuck behind a bit of stitching on one of them.
I’ll try them without the in soles and see if that makes them more comfortable.
