Old Chen x WTG giveway Review - AirMax Undefeated and ASICS Kayano
I was lucky enough to win $100 in a giveaway. So wanted to go for something on my grail list and something different.
I've been buying so many AM95 this past year, retail and rep that I said I would pause but then I saw the Undefeated Geo Tokyo I had to pick them up. The Crimson colour makes them pop more than the other City Packs, I love the hairy/shaggy suede gives them a nice bit of texture. The enamel tick is a nice touch. I wore them out to a football tournament where the top 12 UK streetwear brands were playing, and all day people were coming up saying they love the shoes, nothing but compliments.
I think I would prefer GX over KZ as I found that GX's are more comfortable. My KZ Koston are not as comfortable as my GX CDG's. However I think I made the mistake of going TTS on the Koston's where the CDG'd are 1/2 size bigger. I have retail Cactus Flower and they are TTS and are my most comfortable AM95s
My second pair I chose ASICS Kayano 14, they are meant to encourage me to do some more running. They feel comfortable on feet and gel feel just as good as my son's ASICS Nimbus. I don't have any experience with ASICS but the materials and finish of the shoes are excellent.
Using Old Chen WTG was straight forward, the web site could do with some improvements. For example QC's photos you can easily GL by accident, I did this by accident after I RL'd the first pair 95's but luckily I was able to quickly put a comment in and they continue to get a replacement pair.
Indivdual shoe price;
AM95 - $45.78
ASICS - $34.34
Shipping is on the pricey side $41.49 for both which is more like Middlemen prices but the parcel is well protected, the boxes were immaculate which I am pleased with as the Undefeated box is special, I know it's just a box but there some worth keeping. For the ASICS I would have preferred to ship without the box.
Batch names are not so easy to decipher had to do some digging in various groups or Gemini to compare them.
Overall Old Chen WTG are easy to deal with, customer service was responsive and changing my RL. So they are perfect for ordering 1 pair of shoes. Delivery was quick to UK 7days.
