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:
