      ^ With Rick being so active with his lifestyle and health advocacy it was inevitable, I think. I'm quite interested, albeit morbidly, to see what the collab produces.

              For $400-500, I think I'd rather just pay the extra for drkshdw sneakers. But I doubt any of us will even have the opportunity to buy them once the hypebeasters catch on.

                i don't see how adidas deserve this, but whatever, rick's never been about exclusion anyway...

                  If these sneakers have the typical rick silhouette like the article says, I don't see how anyone will actually be able to run in them.
                  “Man has somehow always feared this search, and I fear it even now. Suppose all man ever does is search for the reason, crosses oceans, sacrifices his life in the search; but to search it out, actually to find it, he’s afraid. For he senses that once he finds it, there will be nothing to search for.”

                    Yeah, seems like Nike would've been a better fit.

                      why would you run in them?

                        I was confused, because the article that newp linked to made it sound like rick was planning on sticking with a similar silhouette as most of his other sneakers.

                        But here they quote Owens saying "What shoes am I going to wear running? I can’t wear my big chunky basketball shoes — I’d look like a dinosaur running through the Tuileries." which makes a lot more sense.
                        “Man has somehow always feared this search, and I fear it even now. Suppose all man ever does is search for the reason, crosses oceans, sacrifices his life in the search; but to search it out, actually to find it, he’s afraid. For he senses that once he finds it, there will be nothing to search for.”

                          I doubt anyone looking for shoes to actually run in are going to buy $500 collabos.

                            I agree, but I think that's another debate in itself. Isn't what the designer has in mind for the item most important? Sure, I wouldn't buy $500 running shoes, but if Rick says that's what he can see them being used for, isn't that how we should look at and interpret the item?

                                I have Yohji so ingrained in my head with Adidas that I can't wrap my head around Rick entering that bubble.

                                I'll pay as much attention to this collab as I did Eastpak.
