Is there just one color then for this Old Skool perforated release?

I kept trying to be vague, but I'm probably just being confusing, especially with the swapped colorways....since we are literally only 2 weeks away, and I'm technically allowed to market them now, its ok to speak more about:

Yes, just one color of perforated old skool is dropping, and its the one that netkin showed on his insta....the navy. The other shoe to make the pack is the era, also leaked in this thread. I put an update on the front page of my site with a little more info regarding that one....just have to roll over the image on the front page. I've got a bit more marketing material, story details and photos ready for the blog post and the online shop, but will hold onto all that for the actual release in October.

Wow, the materials for the perf pack seem great! Are the era's only out in the brown/mustard colorway?

Jesse said he had a black era sample, so I hope those end up dropping.

^^^ I don't think i can say it any clearer guys.... ;) ;) ;)

but just to put one more comment out there, as my main goal is to truly dispel confusion or misinformation: the black set, to the best of my knowledge, was the first round of samples, and was replaced / scrapped. the more recent images and info is what is actually releasing.

rocketgoof, the brown / mustard is more of a bronze tan / chocolate....i was a little worried at first it would be super anti-hero piss/shit classic colorway, and it still has that vibe in a good way, but is much more tonal...VERY wearable if you are into brown shoes. (not nearly as bright and contrasted as that leaked shot in the first group of images, page 1).

So...we are getting black?

Hey folks, these are just pics. As a sneaker buyer/collector/fan for many years I know how important it is for us to be able to wet our whistles between releases. Thankfully we have people like Brant here to give us a trail of crumbs through the forest of pictures I provide on occasion. Last thing I want to do is give people the wrong impression as to what is, might, or won't be releasing.

This is just shoe porn.

That's too bad about the black pair. I'll need to check out IG for the navy pics.

I have this gut feeling that almost ALL of us really want to wear/enjoy brown shoes....


but we just can't for some reason haha!


Btw,
I can tell by the quality and details (or lackthereof) that the blacks were iffy from the get-go.

Well I just copped some brown shoes. ha ha

I agree, though - pretty much why I didn't cop the Horween stuff.

I really only ever wear brown shoes to work. A brown sneaker has to be very well done for me to be into it. And I wear navy shoes less than I do brown shoes. So yeah, I'd be passing on this release for sure if it weren't for wanting to see what these interchangeable insoles are all about... I feel like I'd be more likely to wear the old skools.

Its gonna be like the Local Boyz pack. Not a lot of shops ordered them, so they'll be more sought after later on.
