isn’t a campus without stripes in white just a stan smith?
In theory maybe but no not really at all. Campus has a different (and better) shape, and a different (and better) sole. So I guess similar idea, but not the same shoe at all. Bummer about the off white soles on those because I would be VERY down for an all white leather Campus (ADV or OG) with no stripes. Pretty perfect shoe actually.
As for those Carroll reissues, you can't really expect BOS to do a mellow colour with nothing on it, that's not their brand. I think the look fucking terrible and I wouldn't wear them either, but the real crime not making an OG colourway Carroll on the side, which hopefully happens but I haven't seen in any upcoming catalogs or anything.
Our shop got the BOS ones and it actually bums me out even more on the colour because the shoe itself is actually really dope. If anyone is thinking about getting them anyway, they fit a bit big and if I got them I would half size down.
