hi do you know when the Adidas Rose 773 Derrick Rose (Tech Grey/White/Black) will be in stock for size 6 or 6-5 thanks
What’s up James? I’ve sold out and there isn’t a planned restock. I do have the D Rose 3.5 Bulls colorway in stock right now on the online store. http://www.amazon.com/shops/archsneakerstore
very intriguing. i have to know more.
From Facebook
Christopher D. Burns LOL, nah, I actually like NB. Enough so that I design my last shoe after their models. The S.E.A.L. New Balance resold for over 300 per pair and some models still go for that much. This issue is a sign of the times. Everything is taken out of context now.
-Question: Do you/did you have any problems from NB by using their models?
Not a single issue. Once I realized that it didn’t make sense for me as a small company on a bootstrap budget to try and create a shoe from the ground up, I didn’t even try it anymore. I knew that when I made Sho-Shot and I used the And1 outsole on that shoe I saved a ton of money on that release. As long as the outsole logo is removed then there isn’t an issue. BUTTTTTT you have to be very careful. Using a “free” outsole can lead to infringement issues so be careful if you decide to do it. We do live in a litigious society.
Thanks a million.
