    Alright ZD, I cave - here's a fit pic. Adidas x Parley Ultraboost 3.0 (Dark Navy) - They are made from recycled material that was scooped out of the oceans. Probably lots of net + fishing line.

    I don't own any Yeezy's yet but was tempted by these. That being said, since I took an L on the orange 700 v1s, I might buy resale.

    Love these! I have the wheat AF1 Gore-tex boots.

    I bought the air max 90 surplus but it's been "waiting for carrier pickup" for 12 days now so I'm hoping they find a way to get it to me given it sold out quickly.

    I'll do a red/pink lace swap when they arrive.

    I'm waiting for two other winterized sneakers to drop this season. The first is a Gore-tex Jordan 1:

    And the second is an olive Pegasus trail 3. There are other colorways but I really love this "flight jacket" design:

    Gore-Tex Jordans are sexy as hell. Do you know the date they will be available?

    Patiently waiting. Nike has a bunch of supply chain issues right now (some factories are out of commission) and a lot of stuff has been pushed back or has no confirmed release date like these AJ1s.

    Bad news bears, FedEx lost my air max 90 surplus package and they're sold out so no winterized sneakers for me :(

    Nice! I was eyeing these but decided to skip last minute. They look great!

    Sorry to hear about the Air Max 90 :(

    I took a gamble and found they really do look better in person.

    I'm pretty pissed Nike still uses FedEx given how bad they've gotten in the Denver metro area the past few months. It's pretty abysmal.

    FWIW, 100% of the packages that Fedex has lost on their way to me (3 out of 3) have eventually been found and delivered. One took two months to appear, so don't give up yet.

    For Devin Booker's birthday - it looked like he had a pair of AJ1's in Phoenix Suns colorway. Something that I would for sure want in my rotation. I unfortunately can't find a photo of them.

    That's my guess.

    Today I went winter sneaks since it's in the 30s and supposedly wet

    Those are close to what he had - no black toe and not a mid I don't believe.

    And... White sole winter! those are pretty nice looking 95's. I've only had a couple pairs. I had the neon's when they came out in 94-95 and then I tried them again later and my feet don't agree with the shape.

    I have the 90's and AM1's with Lunarlon soles and those two pairs are pretty darn comfortable.

    Hilariously, I actually really dislike the lunarlon and react tech because they're both too cushy :). I'm that dude who buys vivobarefoot or merrell glove shoes and removes any cushy insoles.

    I do think the Lunar 90s are beautiful.

    Speaking of AM1s, I regret not waking up 18 mins earlier than normal to cop the blue pattas last week. Now I have to play the SNKRS lotto and I suspect I'm going to lose.

    I didn't even know about the Patta's. I've liked most of their collaborations / colorways.

    I feel you on "too cushy" - sometimes I'll pass on wearing the UltraBoosts for a good long time and stick with Janoski's or Chuck's.

    The last shoes I've bought were all boots though. TCX riding shoes and Redwing heritage moc toes. The Iron Rangers broke in way better than the Moc Toe. I'm still in the process of breaking them in.
