      They're the same sneaker, just one before wear and one after wear.

          didn't know that, thanks. so it's like you're buying white painted chucks without knowing what color is underneath this white paint?

            No, you can pick the color underneath.

              "will be priced at $200 USD/€200 euros"



              The idea of the fabric detail is not bad. Maybe I will get a pair when its on half price or cheaper

                this always freaks me out, why europeans have to pay more in most cases?

                  Because you have high taxes and fewer consumers.

                    Well, at $200 a pair it's not utterly rape pricing. The painting I wonder how its done since you can't really fully dip the sneakers in paint without ruining the inside. Is even the rubber painted? Otherwise it actually took a bit of time to paint them. The effect is also kind of nice after one wear.

                    I wish they showed the yellow variant. The white and red isn't too bad... the starkness of the white harkens back to the Adidas Stan Smiths that Hedi brought back and charged $400+ for.

                      It looks like the rubber is also painted, and afaik they're hand painted.

                        first the h&m collab was a total disaster and now they paint a converse white? the emperor looks like he got some new clothes!

                          they're not that bad, imo they will look good with a simple, relaxed outfit. but yeah, h&m collab was trash though

                            c'mon guys. this collab is total shite. I love converse, I actually prefer the varvatos collection to this. I'll have to see them up close though.

                            If you're looking for some clean trainers try:

                              varvatos collab was better, sure, but those margiela cons are also good imo.

                              btw, those shoes like poetry seems quality product, but this blue detail on the outsole ruins them for me, would be better all white.

                                I could totally wear those. My basics are MMM gats but these would be good too.
