always loved this colorway

[close]

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
[close]

i had this colorway when they were the "Reynolds 2"...been dreaming of this for like 10 years.

Man oh man. This reminds me of the first time I walked into what would become my local skate shop.

That Adidas City Cup is mostly rubber and pretty damn clunky in person.
[close]

Pretty flimsy too
[close]

Clunky and flimsy?
[close]
???
In my opinion they look on par with the volume of the OG busenitz and don't look flimsy at all.
[close]

Just got mine today but I'm sending them back for a smaller size, they fit pretty big. I have slim feet and I like my shoes snug. They might be perfect for that wide shoes thread.
[close]

ordered mine a half US size down, so 7,5. fit really perfect but i could have gone with a 7 being used to my shoes fitting snug!

Whoever said they are mostly rubber and clunky must be kind of dense

I saw the sample in person 6 months ago.
The heel is all rubber and they looked pretty bulky then.
They could have slimmed them up for production, but yeah I am an idiot.

They’re pretty slim for how they look.  The project BA is bulky by comparison.  I think they’re honestly one of the best fitting shoes I’ve ever worn.  You’re not an idiot.  Don’t be hard on yourself.

I think about that shirt and this shirt my friend had in middle school a lot. It had the "Most Known Unknown" cover printed on it and I've been looking for it ever since to no avail.

Yeah those Supremes are awesome.

In High school I got that skull shirt from the video off ebay.

so yeah, all rubber in the back, but a very thin cupsole, very flexible. for how round the toe box is they do not look or feel bulky at all, so they must have reworked them. coming from a kyle walker 2 year kick they might even feel more flimsy  ;D

I think the toe box being that round is what made the fit wierd for me. Usually my shoes are pointier and that extra space in the flick zone bothers me. But overall they fell really flexible and not bulky, just the right padding.

I think this is just where it comes down to preference on fit like Sk.A.T.A.N is saying.  I myself prefer a bit of wiggle room in the toe area as I can't stand when I can't move my toes when I'm just sitting or standing so I have a difficult time with a really narrow toe area.  Also as said, they may have slimmed them down since pre production as they now aren't bulky at all really.

the "wider" toebox makes it all weird for me too. i usually skate the kyle walkers a half size down, so they fit perfect in lenght but are a little too tight in the beginning- i mostly skated the walkers since they came out. now i have a shoe that fits my foot really good(city cup) and i miss that really snug fit i am used to- i'm fucked  ::)

will still try to skate these adidas, if they don't feel right they make a good shoe for walking- i really dig the design on these!

Sure. I’ll take a those, black/red and navy/white.

When they dropped they were I believe $85-$90. Definitely worth it since they lasted a while. For me, the sole was gone before the upper did.

I would think they would have to slim it down a little. Or even make a heritage version and a slim version like they did with the Dime collab.



and bring that the box.

Definitely should bring the OG box. I remember he was at Jeron Wilson’s house when they shot that photo for the box.

I think he talks about in a 411?

I feel like the sabotage dudes got some dirt on whoever is charge of direction at dc. I wanna know who wants these shoes for any reason besides nostalgia. They’re all ugly as fuck.

I have skated some dcs back in the day but I remember even at that time the Stevie model looked a little too bulky for me. But if they re-released Rick Howards old shoe, I couldnt resist.

I'd buy three pair of the OG Rick Howard. One to wear, one to skate, and one to fuck. Especially the grey/blue ones.
