[@gabkoost]

And we are supposed to take the word of those hipsters as guidance?
They sold out everywhere, people camped out and resell is almost the triple.
Reality says believe the hype.

[@ChicagoHypebeast]

​@@user-gv7od9uq4o Always but clothes for personal taste, I hated wearing white shoes for a long time. But I've put a dent in my OG checkered vans, they are muddy and destroyed. But I actually like the worn out look more, I think these shoes have the same potential.

[@rolandduson2021]

I turned away from the screen when he said fire.

[@joeyland9241]

Why does the orange look pinlk in the video?

[@ChicagoHypebeast]

color correction. The orange is too vibrant and ends up losing some saturation making it look magenta

[@joeyland9241]

Thank you for the answer

[@nasseralami9974]

[@resgt8578]

[@DLGemma]

The hype is not real but it is a nice shoe! For 130$ it is a fair price. Resell though not

[@AntonSlizzardhands]

Chuck Taylors are top 5 shoes but those striped midsoles are too much. I'd pass.

Hi, I'm your 1,195th viewer!!!

[@blainemendez3361]

These people that reviewed the shoe are trash 😂. These shoes are badass to me

[@Hhhhhhhhhh767]

What hype? Nobody cares that much about these
exept me

[@bionictea4360]

To be honest, these look good, not as good as the other Off-White sneakers, but they're the cheapest Off-White sneakers so far so it's a good introduction for anyone wanting to get into Off-White

[@Electro1016]

Cheapest are the Off White 2.0 Nike Zoom Fly. These look closer to the OG Off White shoes, which is disappointing they didn’t mention it

[@linusmadsen1916]

skrt

[@linusmadsen1916]

yeah send me a pair boooooys

[@rogerscat]

I have and use converse for like 22 years, got around 300 pairs. I don´t have those, cause they look fucking ugly. Fuck hype, if it´s ugly, i dont buy.

[@atomicave3100]

They showed pictures of a fake translucent pair hahaha fuck.

[@kazihussain3559]

We forgive you brother nature

[@jonathanschroeder510]

The first off white converse was horrible tbh they didn’t age well with wear unlike these would look better worn in slightly dirty

[@rileyelliott8063]

I love converse but these look so ugly, take away the brand and noone would buy these.

[@Michael_Miller508]

Trash 🗑

[@eddolous]

They are nothing special, just do a rerelease of the first ones. Thanks
