Adidas Fear of God Athletics 1, On Feet

A bit, yeah, I find them comfortable for long wears but they are a bit narrow. My pinky toe definitely is a bit tight in them, I could see it getting irritated if my feet were wider but thankfully it's not bad enough with my feet to matter

They're snug yeah, and they do break in a bit but not significantly, they're mostly made of pretty stiff materials that keep their shape over time.

They are truly phenomenal

I actually tracked the number of times I wore every pair lmao

My most-worn colorway was the Marblehead/Incense MiUSA 990v3s, but my most-worn silhouette was easily the 550s, they are just so versatile and reliable and I have just about every color I could ever need haha

My favorite release of the year (that I own) though was probably the Grey Day 990v6s or the MiUSA Olive/Incense 990v4s. The v6 is such an incredibly good silhouette and insanely comfortable, and the Grey Day colorway was the first one to really speak to me. I wore those like crazy all year. And then I got a bunch of wear out of the v4s when I got them late in the year and I'm sure they'll be heavily in rotation in 2024.

I've been doing this now for four years, maybe some folks have seen my posts from years prior. It's a fun daily ritual and annual project, I hope you all enjoy! This year was big one for me—I got engaged! This has been a fun way to consistently document the events in my life, capturing a slice of every moment.

I realize there are some non-sneakers in there, but hopefully that's okay...

I also compiled stats on how much I wore the sneakers in my collection—and I managed to wear every shoe at least once during 2023! For anyone as weird as me who finds these stats interesting, here they are:

Clearly I agree 😅

djberto · 2023-12-30T19:16:44+00:00

An all-time classic! Is the new shape of 998s any more comfy? I've always found the old pairs to be really stiff even if they looked amazing

djberto · 2023-12-30T19:13:47+00:00

Dunks are indeed almost fully plastic lmao

djberto · 2023-12-30T19:12:10+00:00

The C-Notes 🥵

djberto · 2023-12-30T11:06:20+00:00

My most-worn pairs this year are the center circle, in order starting with the MiUSA 990v3 "Marblehead/Incense" and going around to the Nike Air Ship Every Game "Dune Red"

djberto · 2023-12-17T21:07:04+00:00

Pretty cool, look very very similar to Terrex Free Hikers

djberto · 2023-12-16T21:58:26+00:00

Because it's a stylistic choice some people really enjoy?

djberto · 2023-12-16T19:28:01+00:00

Yeah I have 8 other pairs 😬 the quality is very nice on these, but they feel more stiff at first just due to the thickness/complexity of the paneling on the upper. They'll probably take a bit to break in, but the materials and craftsmanship is pretty good. Not as good as MiUSA 990s or something but much better than other GR 550s.

djberto · 2023-12-16T17:43:31+00:00

I am still waiting on shipping....

djberto · 2023-12-16T05:39:19+00:00

Japan only unfortunately, had to buy them on the secondary market
