I absolutely do not understand the appeal of a mid 2000's mall shoe colorway when there are more neutral options that will likely sell better.
Those new Tyshawn's look so much better than the current

Diversifies the the product Line at lower riskImagine for second, natas wanted your standard B/Wgum. That colorway is done. They can never do it without natas's name without drama.I'm sure natas picked his own colors and did something fun and doesn't really care about salesProjects like this are about marketing, not sales.

Do you have any info on where he is going? Like is it another skate shoe company or a lifestyle brand that is dipping into skate shoes? From the way he was explaining it it sounded like a fashion brand like Golden Goose or P448.

These comparisons have already been made in the NB thread
Tyshawn II releasing June 1
The Natas 480 sold better at my store than most of the recent limited releases from other brands(besides Nike)And tbh it looks better on foot than in those pics. Swap the yellow laces out and it’s pretty acceptable.
