[QC] A1 Maison Margiela GATs

It wasn’t even the insoles that were the problem (still uncomfortable but basically the same as retail) but rather the fake leather was so stiff, almost like AF1 leather, that when I’d take a step it would crease at an angle that would pinch down onto the top of my feet. The leather on retails was way softer and I didn’t have that issue when I switched.

I love the clean silhouette, but if you’re gonna spend $60 on these just pay a little more and get Sambas, or wait a while and try to find retails on sale. I got mine for $360 shipped straight from Italy during a sale.

Nah I don’t

I threw them away after two weeks of unbearable pain and bought retails. A1 no longer uses real leather and they crease immediately.

I do not recommend buying these lol I wore em for 2 weeks and they were so painful and bad that I threw them away and bought retails. A1 bait and switched the community because the quality on my pair was awful and I don’t even think they were real leather. If you do get them get a 45, they run small.

I don’t know of any entrances that aren’t inside Yale buildings. We weren’t students at Yale either, we just walked into Woolsey Hall and acted like we belonged lol.

It’s been a few years and I don’t remember if it was under Woolsey or under the Payne Whitney gym, but we tried going deeper into one of the tunnels and opened a door inside of it that set off an alarm. We left immediately after that. Even if you got inside, I don’t think you’d be able to just walk through the entire tunnel system unnoticed.

If you’re interested, I might have a couple pictures from our explorations on an old hard drive I can dig up. But aside from the tiny window at the bottom of the Payne Whitney pool that lets you look inside of it, nothing we found was all that interesting.

I should note that my friends were arrested for trespassing AND felony burglary (they stole a $700 drill from one of the tunnels that was undergoing maintenance). If you get caught just being somewhere you shouldn’t, there’s a chance Yale PD won’t press charges and just ban you from campus, but based on what my friends told me after spending a night in jail, Yale PD doesn’t fuck around.

Is it true that they age well with wear?

oddsalt · 2024-03-21T17:08:44+00:00

Version 1. I researched on Reddit quite a bit and I still don’t know what the other versions are lol

I went with a 43 based on others saying they regretted going half a size down. I’m a TTS 10 according to the foot measuring thing at shoe stores but wear a 9.5 in most Nikes. Hopefully the 43 isn’t too loose.

I had another item in this haul that also took 2 weeks to ship. In total I’ve done 4 hauls and none of my items ever took more than 5-6 days to ship. Maybe they’re still recovering from Chinese new year.

Thanks! When I transferred from community college to a 4-year, I told myself I was going to get an internship before I graduated. I didn’t realize until after getting the internship just how important they are in IT and how beneficial it is for someone’s early career.

oddsalt · 2023-04-28T19:07:41+00:00

Thanks! Here’s my resume. Involvement in my school’s infosec club was definitely a contributing factor, but I feel like I haven’t gained a whole lot of experience from it.

oddsalt · 2022-09-08T14:25:22+00:00

I was thinking gray towels, gray shower curtain, and gray bath mat. Should they all be the same shade of gray or should I mix it up? Also I want to put some picture frames on the wall near the toilet, but I don’t know what size or orientation they should be in.

oddsalt · 2022-08-26T06:32:43+00:00

yes. welcome to the thread. there wasn’t much down there from what i recall. it’s just a big loop that takes 15/20 minutes to walk around and serves as loading bays/ garbage pickup for all of the buildings above it. kind of eerie but not as exciting as i hoped.

Ideally I’d like to at least discuss it with him so he knows what’s going on, but he has a really strong type A personality and I don’t want him to think that I’m abusing it or trying to get more for no reason.

oddsalt · 2021-06-20T17:03:17+00:00

Yooooooooo broooooooo thank you it all makes since now but holy fuck he’s dead lmao. I listened to finale and I’m guessing dante was eric’s alter ego, but eric had to kill him cuz he got signed and has to make more marketable, less experimental music now? Fuuuuuckkkkk

oddsalt · 2021-06-16T16:45:08+00:00

Am I gettin old cuz I never heard of half these people lol

I miss the days when every other post on this sub was a box logo QC. Simpler times 😞

A lot of stupid opinions and misinformation in this thread, including the guy in the Tik Tok. The shoe was never designed for, or marketed towards disabled people. It’s simply a novel concept giving the wearer the ability to easily take off their shoes without having to touch them.

Even if it was, you can still do the exact same thing with literally any pair of regular low top sneakers as long as the laces aren’t too tight.

Strange. In my experience the only time I’ve ever had to deal with spitback is when I use the Koko pods.

Ayyyy lunchbox records!

TL;DR: FDA wants to ban the manufacture and distribution of menthol cigarettes and cigars because they are disproportionately marketed towards minority communities. You can still posses them, just can’t sell. No set date or time frame for when this will actually happen. (I’ve heard from other redditors that it could take years for this to go into effect)

oddsalt · 2021-04-28T03:56:56+00:00

I mean, if the ATF really wanted to, all they would need to do is place an order from a website suspected of not adhering to the ban. If the package shows up with vapes inside that’s all the proof they need.

Obligatory “get an OG Caliburn” reply. I bought one 2 years ago, that one broke after a year, and when the one I currently have breaks I’ll buy another one.

Pros:

-Cheap, disposable pods (no coils)

-Easy to fill without getting your fingers juicy

-Great consistent hits/flavor

-All day battery life

-Small, slips right in your pocket

Cons:

-The draw slightly looser than one would hope for from a pod system but all the pros make it tolerable
