love the sole, but look weird as a low top with the oversized tongue and everything.

i really don't like these. for me they are a combo of the worst elements of adidas and rick.
i think the thing adidas got wrong that nike got right was the design of the soles on their running shoes. they are way too over designed and gimmicky and downright ugly. for example:
and this new collab shoe is just a further extension of that. kind of inspired by this one^^
and with rick i am not a fan of the oversized tongue. for me it seems out of proportion with the rest of the shoe, in a showy hip hop kind of way.
which can also be said about the lacing, which is very RUN DMC "my adidas".
...WAIT A MINUTE...
holy shit we've come full circle. now it all makes sense. welcome to paris RUN DMC!

I, for one, love an oversized tongue. God, who doesn't?

You minx.

I had a pair of Fila basketball shoes in the 90s that looked remarkable similar to these.
much better without the aggro lacing

Really much better indeed.
The full black one with white laces is quite nice... by this angle of view.
Better indeed. Not sold still

ASAP Rocky instagrammed a pair:

^ I judge you for (a) following him on instagram.
i traded my LUC jeans + Julius belt + Neil Barrett jeans for a blamain biker jeans
Agreed like this.
I still think, having seen very similar shoes by Nike (recently) and Fila (in the past) on people that couldn't be further from the different styles shown here, that if the shoes were just Adidas and not a little Owens, nobody here would even talk about them, let alone consider buying them.
Isn't that stating the obvious?

ASAP Owens is the worst RO shoes ever made. RO needs to bring it back Swosh, Turbos,Mohawks, Cargo baskets those are the RO shoes i love
Are these collabo sneakers even comfortable? not the RO shoes are comfty to begin with, but just to look at them is painful and they must feel painful. Overall its the worst collab Rick has done.
I don't know but I feel like we can except worse one day.
I would have preferred him putting out the older design even if he had to slap adidas name on them.
i will actually venture they will be comfortable they are built a lot like nike rosherun and the y-3 qasa
I will venture that you run seriously in these you will seriously have plantar fasciitis. I also have retail at $750 which is much higher than the $400-$550 guessed at.
i think $500 is the sweet spot, just about double foamposites if thats the market he's going for
