They look a little more grey than brown in person, but I’m still digging them!
What are your thoughts?

Customs and late nights

The dark brown that came with them look best, but I think I’m gonna rock with the red, waxed for the time being. Not for everyone, but I like it. Won’t look so out of place when the colder weather hits too.

I scuffed my new trainers on a car tyre and this mark won’t come out with washing-up liquid.

Any tips on what else I could use?

These came in the mail today and I’m not sure if I like the color brown compared to the stock photos.
Maybe they will darken being exposed to the elements but still not the same color I was expecting

"Apparently the premium sneaker experience now includes arts and crafts."

Right out of the box, these have wow factor.

Premium slide-out box, individual embroidered dust bags, paisley wax paper with each shoe individually wrapped — before you even get to the sneakers, you know you're opening something special.

Then I opened them.

Glue stains. Random white paint specks. On an all-black shoe.

Goddammit Nike. 😂 Even on something this limited and elaborate, quality issue still manages to rear its ugly fucking head.

So I spent 20 minutes with a Magic Eraser, Reshoevn8r and some mink oil cleaning my brand-new shoes.

TADA! ✨ Apparently Nike included an arts-and-crafts project with the unboxing.

Thankfully, once I cleaned them up, I remembered why I wanted these. The leather is ridiculously soft — sneeze too hard and you're going to crease it soft — with detailed embroidery, Swarovski crystal Swooshes and gold hardware throughout.

The gold chain laces are completely fucking ridiculous. Amazing for display; absolutely not happening on my feet. 😂 The included wide flat black laces with gold aglets are PERFECT and let the crystals and hardware do the talking instead of turning my feet into Mr. T.

Compared to the white "Diamond District" pair, I still prefer the whites. Their leather feels a little more substantial and the embroidery absolutely pops against the white upper. There's also more storytelling there, including the LA map insoles.

The black pair is more understated. Some of that detailing disappears into the monochromatic upper, but they're also considerably easier to wear.

And together? Yeah, I'm really glad I completed the set.

Premium materials, weird details, edgy without being unwearable, and something I can actually wear to the office or out at night. These check basically every box for me.

The quality issues on a shoe like this is fucking ridiculous.

But after doing Nike's job for them?

Goddamn, these are gorgeous.

I'm trying to decide if I should get a gray or white sole and repaint to get as close to the original as possible or go with the A..I. generated all black options in the last slide? I know the graphics on the outsole are probably not able to be saved so ...thoughts and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thought these could go either way so I just decided to go for them now. Only L I’ve taken so far was the Tianjins and I’m not even mad at that.

Can’t wait to get these beauties in!

The “Air Max” room is now also the “Dog’s” room. That’s totally acceptable though, right?

I got a pair but I was honestly going to wait it out thinking they would go on sale! Glad I decided not to! Anyone actually expect these to sell out?

Don't see these or the blue pair much. 3M on the ✔️
