Looks purple to me.

[Kirtap]

It's blue. Those are the same three colorways that have been posted numerous times in this thread.

[rlang]

Maybe it's my screen, but those look really purple.

[Garth Marenghi]

They're purple, at least in real life they are.

[Kirtap]

Sooo.. are these purple too then?

[able]

it looks more like a plueish burple from my perspective

[Bubblegum Tate]

Color code is Light Concord/Metallic Gold

[The Math Professor]

These are going to be so sick.

[hesh life]

[Fongstarr.]

Fuck...I need these shirts!

It's going to be cool to finally see these in real life, the colourways look tasty!

[FILIFE]

I was kind of expecting it to have an air pocket.
If anyone could bring that style back, it'd be Koston.

PJ Ladd alllready tried and failed at that.

[IskateBaker]

these look fresh but damn, i had heard that the kostons would have a zoom tre like material, i was psyched.

[Garth Marenghi]

They do have some sort of space age technology in them, can't remember what to be exact.

In the UK, $85 works out at roughly £52 (using the little convertor on my computer), that's a totally average price for skate shoes over here. It sucks. For comparison, checking the site of my local shop:

Manchester Select: £49.95 ($80.60)
Half-Cabs: £57.95 ($93.50)
Eras: £44.95 ($72.50)
Janoskis: £59.95 ($96.70)
Pappalardos: £59.95 ($96.70)

In the UK, $85 works out at roughly ?52 (using the little convertor on my computer), that's a totally average price for skate shoes over here. It sucks. For comparison, checking the site of my local shop:

Manchester Select: ?49.95 ($80.60)
Half-Cabs: ?57.95 ($93.50)
Eras: ?44.95 ($72.50)
Janoskis: ?59.95 ($96.70)
Pappalardos: ?59.95 ($96.70)

 

Euro prices pretty much suck for everyone around here

does anyone even skate the pappalardos? i havnt seen them in any shops/on anyones feet and theyre expensivo!! when i went amsterdam they were  110 euros which was like 95 quid, for converse!!

[Galletly]

I've never seen anybody skating in them. I can only afford to buy the more expensive stuff for chilling in at first and operate a weird sliding-scale where they gradually work their way down to becoming skating shoes over a long period of time. I'll only ever skate a pair straight out the box if I got them cheap somewhere, fuck skating in £60 shoes. I imagine that's how a lot of euro folk deal with the crazy prices.

don't act like things in australia aren't ridiculously priced.

that`s exactly how i do it, except for vans, because their sole sucks so much nowadays that the sole is gone after a short time of walking in them.

oh, shit's expensive, i know, but the average wage in australia is higher than in the US. right now the us/aud ratio is almost 1:1, anyone with half a brain is buying their shit online from us stores and shipping to australia. even with shipping shit is cheaper.

on the "it's all relative" note though, let's take the vans eras for example. when you factor in higher wages etc in australia, it's the equivilent of an american paying probably $60 for them (they're about $40 in the US). although they are more expensive, they're not THAT much more expensive when you get down to it.

i'll be going home to melbourne to see fam at xmas and the exchange rate is going to kill me. an aussie coming out here is living like a king right now though.
