What about them changed your mind? Was it the comfort of the extra room in the toe box, or something else?
-
So just came across some info about this line.
Apparently it'll have a US release in the spring, but it's already out in Japan.
They feature a Vibram sole and more premium aspects to the shoe.
Here's a couple of images I've come across.
anoutcommune.com in Japan seems to have them in stock for ~$210 US, but not many sizes.
They are enough to get me excited about this release, figured someone here may be interested.
Cheers,

maroon is great
Beatle - can you get those in Germany?
I really want a pair, I emailed the people @ Rakuten, but communication is far from great.
I'd love some Vibram Chucks!
They look to be much more comfortable all the way around!
I want a pair of Black High's and a pair of White OX lows.
anyone on this forum in Japan want to grab me a couple pairs? I'd happily send something that's not available in JP from the states!
Cheers,
Jesse

how is your hunt going lirola?

no such luck, i'm not trying to spend 450 on ebay, but they're not even in size 13 on there - so there goes a 5 am post edit impulse buy option. hahah.
you got any thoughts / leads?
i want a black and i want a white, i'd probably pass on the camo's too!
i have a bunch of friends over @ nike, and some friends who run the converse rubber tracks studio in nyc, so i'll figure something out in january.
cheers
help a broth out monday!

i'll do that when i get cash in hand. what they asking per pair, or does it depend on model?
-
it's ~210ish.
not too shabby, but its a matter of catching them when the stock comes in as they don't have it around for long.

Anybody else had a problem with the outer layer of rubber separating from the shoe? Any fixes? Superglue?
Typical issue with chucks over time. Use shoe goo or whatever. I just rip the rubber off personally. Chucks look better when they are beat to shit anyways. Considering the cost, if you are unhappy just buy a new pair.
-
True, its just the one spot where the shoe bends when I walk. On both sides of the shoe, on both shoes, so I know what caused it.
Yup, that is how it typically starts and then it spreads backwards. Not a big deal imo. Just keep wearing them.

My one buddy duct tapes them with this starts to happen. I told him it is not a good look, but he won't listen to reason.

Contrary to popular belief, duct tape doesn't fix everything!
