That’s put a big ol’ smile on my face reading that this evening! 😁 You’re very kind! I’ve never really thought about starting a podcast to be quite honest, but thinking about it right this second, I would love to create one for people to enjoy, be it simply listening to my voice, talking about anything and everything! I’ll definitely put more thought to it now! Cheers for the confidence builder! I really appreciate it! 🙌🏼 - 🐻
I also purchased these recently for 325 US, i thought my wife was going to hate them because she doesn’t like out there shoes, but she liked em. I guess i’ll keep them because im a big foamposite fan. I got lucky to purchase them on dover street market, but that price tag will sting for a little. Also I am not a fan of the synthetic leather on the upper. You pay 325 and can’t even get real leather SMH. Good review tho brotha
My girlfriend likes them too, the look of the sneakers that is, not the price! 😂 Oh for sure the £335/$325 we dropped on these will hurt for a while! 😮💨 And I agree, I wish CDG went with a full grain leather for the uppers, that was embossed/debossed with the circular pattern instead, to help justify the price instead of this “liquid polyurethane” or “plastic” basically, but ah well! 🤙🏼 Cheers for stopping on by and watching too Dre! Glad you enjoyed bro! - 🐻
It’s simply a mixture of shades, that are flat, and imbedded into the plastic upper material to give a “marbled effect”. It would’ve been amazing to see these have a reflective chrome like effect, but the reality for these is that they have a flat colour palette of a mixture of shades, to give it that illusion we see! - 🐻
Are they worth it? Nope, but god dam I love them! Pair came in today, so gassed with em! I would’ve laughed and said bye if they were £500. The whiff made me laugh, I could smell them from across the house 😭🤣
The lowered retail price is still hard to justify for sure, but I’m exactly like yourself, I really like ‘em despite that! 🤙🏼 I wouldn’t have even gave a second glance at these if they were around £500 again though to be quite honest! 😬 The STENCH caught me completely off guard when I first opened the box! The smell takes over entire rooms, I don’t even know how that’s possible for a sneaker to be so strong smelling and invasive! 😂 - 🐻
absolutely LOVE this remix they did but absolutely hate the price jump haha. it’s cdg unfortunately, they love upscaling their prices on any and every collab they do, it’s quite unfortunate tbh
This may be my one and only Comme des Garçons sneaker in collaboration with any brand most likely, with their hiked up prices! It’s crazy where they pluck their numbers from! 🤣 - 🐻
It is (still) quite the steep retail price, though I’m just glad it came down considerably from the first 2 pairs, which made it hurt a fractional bit less buying a pair this time round from CDG and Nike! 😮💨 - 🐻
I actually timed it, when every size sold out from the official online release through Dover Street Market!⏱️ My US 12 size sold out first within 3 minutes, typical. 🙄 Then US 11 and US 13 sizes sold out after 27 minutes. Followed by US 10.5 and US 10 sizes which sold out after a surprisingly long 2 hours. The remaining middle sizes sold out after 4 hours exactly. And finally, the last few smallest sizes sold out after a dwindling 7 hours. Then every size was finally sold out! 😯 It was very interesting to see how this release went online, but I did see over on Instagram that DSM posted on their story that because of “technical difficulties” they could only sell pairs to the United Kingdom on their E-shop website! And only now, have they found stock to release globally, but in-store only! 😎 - 🐻
This is one of the few shoes in the past 10 years that feels really special.
They really do feel as though they have something quite special about them for sure. - 🐻
Good stuff mate, you speak very well and eloquently, have you ever thought about starting a podcast?

Great vid bro ! Also what is the name of your fleece? I really like it !
Cheers bro! 👊🏼 And it’s the KITH Pinehurst Full Zip Sherpa from their Fall 2023 collection! XXL size for us big lads! 😎 - 🐻
@BEARHQ No probs mate ! Keep up the good work ! Ma man thank you, I'm built like a chip anyways so im gonna need a few sizes down 😂
im a bit confused. is the colour of the uppers actually a metallic/chrome? or is it just a mix of black/white to give that effect?

I love them but im not paying $325, $240 is already pushing it

Well G.O.A.T, stockx, kickscrew, and flight club says that these are worth over 1k now sooooo.......
Mah gooooodness 🤑 I know what I must do but I don’t know if I have the strength to do it 😂 - 🐻
I like them and they aren’t even that expensive lol, resell or not
Though it would never hurt a brand to lower the retail price of their sneakers just a smidgens! 🤏🏼😂 - 🐻
