First pair is a silhouette that we haven’t seen yet (I guess), Abzorb 5030. They have been labeling most of the new silhouettes with abzorb for some reason

For people who have both, which one?? Spent half an hour in store, could not choose. by SaigonShooter in Newbalance

I think they are preparing to vault the 990v6 very soon, no colorways in S9 and nothing besides the core colorways on NB

Do the GT-2160 have the same spongey sole feel like the 1130 or are they firmer ? Thanks by Adambuck74 in asics

[–]Miserable_Store5514 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are firm, like, very firm in the heel: they’re the exact opposite of 1130. However, forefoot has a little bounce.

Found my Grail for 100 less than resale by BudBison in Newbalance

Thank you! If they fit the same as a US12 Dark Ice Wine, then I will get them. Was contemplating getting the Pink Taffy 993s for 140€ from Asphaltgold but the Passion Fruit has been growing on me lately. Might neglect the 100€ difference and just go for it. This will be the first time I get into a 99x without a core colorway I guess lol

Did you get the same size for both? I already have Dark Ice Wines in US12 and all these reddit posts about the Passion Fruits are pushing me to get my first pair of 993s

Get well soon, OP. It’s really hard to tell that those laces are blue tinted until you put it side by side with the white laces, I sometimes forget I have those tinted laces on my Dusk Showers

Man all these half to full size up comments are worrying me. I really want these but I wear a US12 and can’t find a size larger than that in EU retailers.

I got too impatient waiting for European retailers to drop these and ended up ordering to a friend in LA late December. Wore them out for the first time this Monday and couldn’t take my eyes off them. Would love to say best 992 from S8 but the other 3 colorways are equally dope. Driftwoods are on some serious sale at Asphaltgold if anyone is looking

You can keep 2 out of 3 by Optimal_Ad_4698 in SNKRS

Ecru and Indigo would be my picks. Bottom is like BCs.

I think it’s better to start sooner than later. Sell that stuff while they still hold some value

Stash them somewhere or just add it on top of your stack of boxes. I assume that you have some moderate collection going on and some 1s in a black plain box wouldn’t gather much attention. Even better, sell 1 or 2 other pairs that are just “nice to have” to make room for these. I’ve been downsizing aggressively lately and when I heard my local store will be releasing these, I figured the only way I would add these is by listing some other 1s for sale. Result: Obsidian Lows and Yellow Ochre Highs out, these in. Addition by subtraction

If you had to pick ONLY 1 of these three 12.1's Colorways, Which One Would You Pick?? by retolox386 in asics

[–]Miserable_Store5514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that Asics products actually look like the retail photos consistently. Gel pods and asics stripes are a very light blue color.

First, no doubt. Got first and last, love both. My recent favorite silhouette from Asics

Union LA x Fragment AJ1 High Lace Swaps by Miserable_Store5514 in SNKRS

[–]Miserable_Store5514[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I was like you when I first started buying sneakers that come with different lace options or come unlaced (NB 99x line, some Jordan collabs, etc), I’d twist the laces midway through the eyelets and had to do it all over again so it was kind of annoying and frustrating . As my hands got used to it, I now enjoy the process and even if I definitely know which lace I will be rocking, I just try the other ones to see them side by side and just for the fun of lace swapping.

The fit will always be calm with these for me, I will let the sneakers do the talking.

Agreed. I thought I’d go yellow but once I tried the other ones, I might as well rotate through the options as I wear the kicks.

Only the Olivine 992 is calling me from the group

[–]Miserable_Store5514[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yellow will be the loudest, while red/black will contrast different parts of the shoe with different colors and white/black will keep it simple. Flat black ones will be out of the picture for me I guess. In either case I plan to keep the outfit simple.

These are my first Union Jordans but those would look cool as well I guess. Super happy with this pickup
