IHSN-01 - Low Top Sneakers in 21oz Selvedge Indigo, 21oz Superblack, 21oz White

@Jordonf9:

No over dyed option? Haha

I think I might have to get me a pair of these….indigo of course. Have to measure my Chuck 70s, prob fit into 9s or 9.5s easily.

How do these compare to the Chuck 70s in midsole comfort? Snug fit or enough to throw in a pair of insoles for added comfort if needed?

25oz up next? Haha, just kidding. Hope the soles are built to to last as long as the denim or longer.

I was able to get some pedag washable insoles in mine without any issues (http://a.co/dufPGcM)…  Even with the insoles in mine I can still wear thin no-show socks without any comfort issues.

As for the midsole comfort I'd say they're pretty close to chucks that I've had before... the insoles, however, are not as cushiony as Chucks so if you're planning on wearing these with thin socks then I'd say throwing in your own insoles would be the way to go.

Just got mine today. I am an 11 in Converse and I got a 10 in these. Fit is perfect. They look and feel amazing, all that remains to be seen is how they last. I beat the crap out of my chucks so we'll see how this goes.

Super clean @premo. Great score. Please do let us know how they get on.

CUSTOMER MESSAGE:
Really love these, so I’m getting a back-up pair

Can't say fairer than that

[neph93]

I’ve decided I must have a pair. Need indigo though and they sold out in my size a looooong time ago….

[Seul]

Think I need a pair as well… Not because I like them, as far as sneakers go I hate Chucks etc, but because I know they'll be well made and comfortable...

Only thing holding me back is the logo... Easy to get rid of or no dice?..

As well as these are selling, has there been any talks about future runs, and future runs in color variations (At least, all black)?

[ivanlesmana]

I received the Indigo almost three weeks ago but I just got home couple days ago LOL.
Ordered size 7 (using the measurement chart) and they're perfect fit, with thin socks.
Just for reference, I wear Red Wings Linemen, Beckmen, Iron Rangers, Oxford all size 8, except 9877 & 875 size 7.5.

Haraki asked me if I wanted to rerun the indigo last week.  I  said that I would tell him in a few weeks when retailers had seen how they did for them….

Great combo from Japan:

I'm not usually a sneaker type, but I love these. I sized them in inches, normally in the US I would wear an 11, but the UK equation of that is a 10. I have a wide foot and high arch, and can't lace them as nicely as Barcley did, but none the less, I like them.

[den1mhead]

Looking good @Roman. Surprised you say you're not normally a sneaker man as they look great on you 

[Finkster]

Couldn't resist .. dammit! ….. aaaaaand Gotcha! 

[Finkster]

Avowedly - at first, I was a bit sceptical about the 'IH-Sneakers project'.

Fact is: they're sublime!
Supercomfy ( I love all my 70's Chucks - but this is another level), the workmanship is top-notch and the look is great.    …........  Domo Arigato - H. san

How did you size compared to your CT 70s?

[Finkster]

^ same size - UK 9.5

.. and drooling for more colours  ::)      ::) 

[Giles]

Pretty sure we will not do these again (in any colour).  Margins were really tight anyway, then they cost a lot to ship from Japan and then a lot to ship to end users (lots of wasted space in a sneaker box).  Believe it or not, in Europe, because we have to give 20% of the retail price back to government for VAT, we probably made a loss on every pair sold.

Do you think you guys won't end up doing the high tops based on the lack of profits on the low tops?
