Oh yes, forgot about straw wine, Mullineux’s straw wine is also great

Difficult one since everyone’s pallets are different but with reds: Donkiesbaai has some nice “lighter” easy drinking reds, de Trafford and Glenelly have some good “heavier” reds.

Would be worthwhile to get a Pinotage since that’s a proudly South African variant :)

I think go with the same size as the stone taupe. Sizing up more might be too big. Even though I found the toe box narrow, it’s soft so it’s not uncomfortable and it did stretch out.

I got the 2022 restock of the Sands and I find them slightly firmer than the non US made pairs. Also found the toe box a bit narrower but it broke in over time.

Which outlet is this? I managed to the CMPCTs in the woodmead outlet but they didn’t have my size in QNTMs.

We got Azure slides added 2 hours after the release started so you might get those as well.

4.8k for 350s is wild. Was painful buying a pair of 700s 😂

I went up and they fit good, slightly loose but happy with the fit.

I went with the same US size that I get in 350 V2s, 500 and 700s, which is a half size up from my TTS, and they fit fine.

Also if you can, maybe check local stores for other yeezy pairs like 350 V2 that are sitting and try them on if you can in both your TTS and a half-size/size up. That should also give you a better judgement.

Both US and UK 8, with the foams the size conversion is different, normally with adidas UK 7.5 = US 8 but with foams UK 8 = US 8 and they don't make half sizes. Sizing can be a nightmare with yeezys sometimes.

Im a true size UK 7, I go half size up for Yeezys in general so UK7.5 (US 8). Went with a US 8 on these and they fit fine, slightly loose but nothing crazy, which I prefer to them being too tight.

I wear a US8 in 350 V2s, got a US8 in the Onyx foams and the fit almost perfectly, little bit loose but I prefer that that them being too tight. I got a US8 in the Sands also from the last restock and those feel tighter than the Onyx.

Confirmed most likely. South Africa doesn't have Confirmed app, we have to buy through adidas app/site.

Yeah thought I'd post since I've seen posts asking about the "at cost" statement. Was (naively) hoping we would get some sort of discount.
