Not sure if posted. Don't really know how to feel about these, like the concept, but felt they could've been done better. Was looking forward to these when first word cam out, but pretty disappointed.
The black authentics look like some just attacked a pair of all black authentics with sandpaper.

Haven't seen them in person yet, so will reserve full judgement until then.

/jokes on these



That said, these look exactly like my "for shows" authentics. Which I'm about to toss. Love the look, so it's nice that they'll be crispy, yet... not?

Alcohol spills kill the bacteria, I think.

hahaha, my show shoes are so nasty... I've got 2 pairs of sk8-hi's that I've been wearing to shows for years that I keep getting close to tossing, but haven't decided on replacements yet so they're still kickin' around... Both pairs are rather nasty.
