    nice! I actually been following them for a couple weeks. I been on the Salomon watch for prob 4 - 6 months. I had been looking at Xt-6 or Xt-4 but. This is a pretty cool collab, Avnier is also a French company like Salomon consisting of a pretty popular French rapper and a Swiss designer. and i really love the way they look. they are a bit narrow so if u wide foot at all half size up prob be best! i am like, right on the verge of what is considered wide and it pinches me a bit, not awful but can feel it.

    Yeah, I was enamored but I just can't handle that kind of shoe for long hikes. I could do five fingers even on rough terrain, but that much drop is a lot for me for a shoe I want to use for anything other than stunting.

    yah I guess I am just using it casual so it doesn't really matter much. I can't even remember the last time I went on a proper hike. I do enjoy it tho, especially in a scenic area. But have never been hardcore at it at all. Sounds like you are a seasoned hiker at least compared to me.

    doesn't look like they dropped on the US site - i can't find them!

    i still dont' have my OW blazers - they FINALLY going to make it Friday. Had like 4 days of "operational delay" on the UK side. then the Holiday so, they in the US now at least!

    *edit - i actually wasn't able to find a release date for the Tokyo version either. All the sites just say soon but no date.

    I just ordered my J2 Union - Grey Fogs! Super Hype about them! Been wanting that shoe since the first time I saw it! I think I am going to take a bit of a break after that. haha

    Those Bo's.... I was so excited when I was a tween to get a pair of the OGs, I kept them in bed with me like a teddy bear the first night.

    In retrospect, I am pretty thankful my feet deformed as I got older and heavier and I can't fit into most normal shoes. Depressing to shoe shop, but also saves me shit tons of money that I would likely spend on stuff in this thread.

    I did. I probably should have waited longer. I also paid resale on those Concept - Heavy Airmax and they were also not cheap. But even though I paid just over $100 over retail on the Unions I think they still going to get cheaper.
