#130 Y-3 BBALL NEW

WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT OF THE CONVERSE ALL STARS, THIS IS Y-3'S VERSION. VERY BOLD & STRONG LOOKING. I USED TO NOT CARE FOR THIS MODEL MUCH AS THIS USED TO BE ONE OF THEIR STAPLE DESIGNS. HOWEVER, DURING THE 2ND TO THE LAST SEASON THAT THEY RELEASED THESE STYLES, THE CAMPAIGN HAD A LOT OF THE MODELS SPORTING THESE FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. THE CAMPAIGNS ACTUALLY MADE ME LIKE THEM MORE. SO I PICKED UP A PAIR.

I LIKE THE USE OF THE ADIDAS 3 STRIPES ON THE BACK AS OPPOSED TO THE USUAL SIDES. LIKE THE GUCCI ONE, THIS ONE IS ALSO ALL BLACK LEATHER. THE MIDSOLE WAS WHAT I DIDN'T CARE FOR AT FIRST...THAT GRID PATTTERN. YOUR FOOT ACTUALLY SITS HALFWAY DOWN THAT GRID PATTERN, SO YOU'RE STILL FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE GROUND, WHICH I LIKE A LOT. NOW THE GRID PATTERN, TO ME, HELPS GIVE IT THAT BOLD APPEARANCE.
