Foamposites!

Air Vapor Evo NRG from eBay.  Gently used but in great condition for the age and price.

Help me decide…

ACG Lowcate

Or…

Nikecraft X Tom Sachs General Purpose Shoe

[endo]

Colourwise speaking, I'd prefer green/yellow over orange/yellow, don't know anything about the shoes though

[Matt]

Totally unhelpful.

[Matt]

Just kidding. I think the green you see is actually grey. But I like that colorway a lot. The major difference in my mind is the ACG would be more of a trail running style shoe and the Tom Sachs would be a preppier, old schoolish casual/lifestyle shoe.

Get the GPS @Matt

[Bigdog]

@Matt sounds like you need both pairs. Tool for every job.

[Matt]

That’s really what I’m thinking @Nik

@Bigdog id be lying if I said I wasn’t thinking that as well.

@Matt I found that the Tom Sachs weren’t super comfortable out of the box but they either broke in or I got used to them, and I find myself wearing them a few times a week now. I’m a sucker for yellow sneakers. The brown pair that just released is nice too.

[Matt]

That’s good intel, thank you.

[october rust]

@Matt and I’m sure you already knew this, but just in case! They’re women’s sized. I almost accidentally ended up with a pair way too small.

[Matt]

I am aware. I take an extra minute to make sure on each site I look at.

[jerkules]

Love the GPS I’d get those if I had to choose one. The new brown colour also looks nice, but I prefer the yellow.

[october rust]

Broke out the brown pair today. They remind me of a chocolate bar, but also remind me of a better time in the early 00’s when Nike was making a ton of brown suede skate shoes.

[Matt]

Very cool. I saw that the next run will be these…

[Matt]

At this point the real obstacle for me is that the lowest price I can find for the yellow in a men’s 10.5 is $255 plus tax and shipping. Until it comes down I’m out. The above color isn’t bad but yellow is my preference. Of course I could get the yellow Lowcates and the next run of Tom Sachs…

Yeah… there it is.

[SKT]

@Matt just now seeing this discussion. I’ve been signing up for the Sachs releases for a good while it seems. Never have lucked out and the aftermarket prices have scared me away too. For what it’s worth, I prefer the Sachs yellow to the Lowcates. Both are cool though and the Lowcates might give you more utility

[Matt]

I think I’m going to try for the next round of GPS. We’ll see…

If I can find me a decent deal for the Lowcates I may bite. I really like ACGs.

[Bigdog]

@Matt im blaming you for this rabbit hole. Brown Tom Sacs on the way
