Stone island joints so ugly. That and the salehe whistle trash. Apart from that their recent drops have been gas
Is a fuel cell a particular type of sole/support technology that NB uses and why do you think 827s would have been a better model for this collaboration?
Yeah its the foam tech they use on the midsole, similar to a nike vaporfly. Essentially a marathon runner since its a relatively comfortable for long runs, but its kind of heavy.
827s give me more of a Stone Island feel, especially the black ThisNeverThat ones. They're all black & grey and detailed but they're lowkey enough to fit into most outfits without being the statement piece. The 827s are running shoes too, but comfortable as casual every days too. I use mine as beaters.
When I think of Stone Island in today's age, I think of the black/dark toned tracksuit look thats completed with a lowkey white/black shoe that doesn't have to compete with the SI patch. When they announced this collab I was hoping it would be an 827 since they've got a futuristic-esque silhouette which the classic SI colors would've complimented so well.
I just feel like a runner as obnoxious and thick as the fuelcell already stands out, add in a huge red SI logo and its even more off-putting.. I'd imagine it's practical for running still since its a visible shoe, but imo, it's an odd model to use as a collab in 2021, especially since the brand's collab climate seems to be more oriented towards the work-from-home/casual easy wear look à la ALD, Auralee, etc.
I guess the other gripe I have is that the collab just seems kind of lazy. The OG shoe is already for sale in this colorway, and all the detailing on the sides that make it look like its ripping through another shoe, is going to fray so quickly. Its a cool concept on paper & photos, but I'd imagine it'd look so messy after wearing them (even casually) for a while.
