Ronnie definitely deserves the criticism on the use of filters. One thing is taking the best the product has to offer while another thing is presenting something that clearly doesn't represents what you're getting. He went pretty far with it on these Gazelles.

For me, personally, I am a huge fan of the pre-order system because I do my best to not deal with the resell market and preorders are the easiest way for me to avoid the resell market.
@JoshDominic6 ай бұрын
Most of these sneakers don't have much resell value to be honest so if they released the normal way I don't think they would be too hard to get

Got them yesterday. Love them . I do find them a little beige so no disappointment over the color . Pre order is the best : I am so tired of raffle or fighting over bots for QS releases . And when i buy something, I expect to like it for at least 5 years . Consequently, I don’t care about waiting 6 months to receive any pre ordered shoes ( it is not like I am owning only 1 or 2 pairs of sneakers …)
@JoshDominic6 ай бұрын
make sense, I understand based on the comments that lot of people dont mind the pre-order either
@flimgenco6 ай бұрын
I also pre-ordered the most recent one, the AS350 or something (if you can call it recent) just because I’m a fan of this collab, it’s gonna be reasonably trendy for a long time, and it’s overall a very special group of sneakers. I didn’t care much for the 860’s because I didn’t feel they were special enough to wait that long. And for me, that’s the main thing - we all have our own opinions as to what we’re willing to wait for. And for those that I am willing to wait for, I’d always choose to wait 6-12 months than pay resell.

Just got my pair, I’m very pleased w/ the quality! A tip to keep the bottom part of the sole from getting too black or sticky. Is to spray rust-oleum never wet water repellent. Like 30 mins Before each use. Been doing that with my Clark’s wallabees for a while. & it seems to help. Only on the bottom part though. Cause it will turn your sole white.

I never believed in sole protection, but after seeing that sole, I'll buy my first pair when mine come in. As for pre-order, i love it. Even if it takes 10 years, i hate paying resale. I always feel like i got ripped off. Rather, wait 6 months to get a shoe i want. Then, wait 6 months a year for resale price to drop close to retail if they ever do and, in most cases, don't. So I'll never have a chance at getting a shoe i want.

Shoe is clean, mine just shipped also. I kind of don’t mind the pre-order, only from the standpoint of actually getting a shoe that I really want. I don’t have to be up dumb ass early, don’t have to worry about bots and can pleasantly get a shoe I truly want. But I do agree with you, if they found a way to cut the time in half maybe 3 months that would be golden. But as long as I can get a great quality shoe for retail can’t complain to much! Keep up the good work brotha!

1) Pre-order system: I love it. I think it is the best way to release products where every customer who wants, will get them (no BS with raffle/resellers etc.) Also this reduces over production which is environment friendly. Sure waiting half a year is not pretty but it is what it is. 2) "Kith-filter": Understandable that this is confusing but it doesn't really bother me. When you look at all of in hand pictures made by Kith, the tone of the whole picture incl. background is set to slight orange-y meaning that the actual color is less warm than it is. Try to edit their picture using an app and set the temperature a little bit cooler and you'll get the actual color 😉
