I like to see it.[close]almost selling out could also mean they ordered less of that model. i don't work at those shops so i don't know, but that would be my first assumption on a shoe like that, specifically because of its unique designif it is indeed their best seller, then we will be seeing more shoes like it

That would make sense. Smaller run of a shoe like that.

Asics Japan Pro
Quote from: notinternetfamous on July 13, 2023, 08:24:07 AMExpand QuoteAsics Japan Pro[close]I went TTS and they feel pretty good. I think I could maybe go 0.5 down for a more snug fit, but I swapped the insole (which is glued down btw) with superfeet which resulted in much better secure fitoverall, very pleased with this purchase

shoes look like ass and are overpricedi only like how the off white one looks bc it hides its garbage ass logo. way worse than the cariuma logo fasho

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year
Fuck brandon biebel... The lemon thrower
got a pair of the Gel Vikkas today, and they feel awesome just walking around. got a 10 and they fit pretty snug; maybe could have gone with the 10 1/2. Probably won't skate them for a while, but the comfort, quality and looks are there.
I've got a half dozen sessions on the Japan S and they're pretty good, but not sure if they'll replace my staples.Pros:-They look good IMO-Feel immediately broken in and super comfortable out of the box.-Sole rubber feels real good very flexible and not annoyingly grippy.-Really good flick.-Durability is at least average so far.-Heel never bottoms out or has any issue with impact protection.Cons:-There is heel to toe drop, which for me gave me ankle and knee pain when I replaced the stock insole as the heel ended up too high.-Stock insole is pretty bad. It's about as good as what came in my Reebok Club C.-Heel doesn't really have any sort of dedicated impact protection and the midsole is kinda hard. It's a lot like a Busenitz. My heels end up sitting lower in a Tiago which is cushier.-Heel isn't the most stable. -Stitching on toe cap popped on day 1, but it's still in place. Some might wanna glue em.I'm going to keep skating them and might buy again if I like a color but I don't think they'd be my first choice from Asics or in general.
