From the Reserve website: New shoe collaboration with Freshjive and Etnies Plus out now. Available at Reserve on Fairfax. Phone orders welcome. Ltd to 36 pairs.



Limited to 36 pairs??? I know this was a friend collaboration between FJ and Etnies, but c'mon. If you're going to release them, how about a couple hundred at the least. I'm not fanatical enough to be called a sneakerhead, and I might not purchase these off the shelf whether there were 40 or 4000 produced, but for such a limited production, why not just give'em out to your friends and call it a day? Maybe Etnies was worried they were going to be sued by Vans for jacking their chukka:

Thanks to a pro pal, I've been having fun with a new hand-me-down lens. Not that this is an impressive shot by any means, it's an example of the fun I've been having with impromptu sessions. Taken in the kitchen whilst sitting on my wrist.
