Are the big foot people going to be shown some love on these shoes? I wear a size 15 and want to rock the Questo's but Nike isnt usually down with the Sasquatches with their LE kicks. Are the ?uesto Knows shirts coming out retail as well?

I don't like those sqiggly black lines though. I might get my fav graffiti artist & new bff VJ of ShowOff Tees n D.C. to paint over that. I appreciate the RBGY motif, but I just don't like how they were put together.

48165, RE: ?uestlove X Nike.
Posted by Pkjr703, Wed Jul-23-08 04:46 PM
my guess $125 retail.

$200+ ebay.

48166, RE: ?uestlove X Nike.
Posted by jwill, Wed Jul-23-08 06:01 PM
Heads over at Niketalk said retail is $175 and they are coming out at more select locations 8-8-08 not sure if that is legit though.

48167, RE: That counts me out
Posted by ya Setshego, Mon Jul-28-08 10:50 AM
I would have done $100, but d*** near $200? 4 a pair of tennis shoes? Can't do it. Not even 4 ?.
48168, you clearly
Posted by nicknice, Thu Jul-31-08 04:02 PM
know nothing... so don't comment. Those squiggly black lines you speak of are a print that became famous on air jordans. Ever heard of those tenniss shoes?

48183, To the haters of this artistic neck breaker
Posted by SiegelSiegel, Wed Jul-30-08 04:12 PM
Who cares if you dont like the sneakers quest designed? You're on this website cause u like the music, not his style preferences (which in my opinion those shoes are ridiculously hot, straight neck breakers.... see me a mile away and still crack your neck) next time quest is one of a small few of artist and influencers chosen to take part in an artist project maybe he'll make something u like,,, in the mean time how do us of the okayplayer movement get em,,, for the people that dont miss a single roots show,,, id love to sleep out for the shoes, (ive even already taken off on friday to try for them) but ive heard the line is suppose to start sometime today!!!!!!!!!!! Love the roots love quests attitude and style but sleeping on the streets for 3 days (unless im pras doin a documentary aint happening)... help me get them or atleast help me get to the party at alife after and atleast here great dj set....
matt

btw I'm a huge sneaker head and get everything, which from getting everything ive gotten hookups at everystore,,, i was told by a few friends at alife that nike reps are coming to wait to make sure the line goes right,,,, great a few kids with nothin better to do,, that could give a $h!t what these look like get to throw on ebay and make a g.... help us the roots questlove fans out,,,
48184, RE: ?uestlove X Nike.
Posted by SiegelSiegel, Wed Jul-30-08 04:40 PM
60+ people on line at alife,,, line goes round the block................BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBSSSSSSSSSSSSS..... whos down to do a drive by with eggs and stink bombs thursday night and make this a release for not just lazy slacker people that have nothing to do for 3+days
48185, i think imma skip this
Posted by dropdabeat20, Wed Jul-30-08 10:36 PM
as much as i want to see quest DJ live i dont think imma go to the LA release party. the kicks are cool but $150 cool i dont know. plus i aint campin out so it'd prolly b packed by the time i get there

I think he might be rocking those kicks at his performance at Club Love to promote them.

I'm seein' him at All Points and think its dope he's performing at Club Love.

Anyone ever been? It's the perfect intimate venue.

So here's the info I found on going.com:

how long will these last at ubiq do you think?
48192, RE: ?uestlove X Nike.
Posted by publicmedia, Mon Aug-04-08 07:43 PM
to answer everyone's ?uestions,

YES, they will be released at more stores than UBIQ, ALIFE & UNDFTD...

The retail is $235...

I don't think they are as limited as the hypebeasts are claiming, as they are poppin' up even in stores that don't sell AF1's on the regular...

If you're in Michigan, I've seen them already at Puffer's & Burn Rubber...

Get them while you can..
48193, LA: so is questlove gonna be at the montalban
Posted by krayzeeboi38, Tue Aug-05-08 11:39 PM
on the 6th? AND undefeated on the 7th? are the shoes gonna be available at undefeated too?
48194, Air Questo release ...Philly

Posted by aprila430, Thu Aug-07-08 03:49 AM
$2500 is a LOT of money!!! i had to bookmark just to see if they'd sell. holy crap.

i was one of the lucky ones that got a gold pair in LA tonight. i wasn't expecting to get a pair at all... just to hear ?uest dj. but now that i've got not just the gold pair, but the free red ones that came with it, i couldnt imagine how painful it would be to send those babies away to somebody else. even for a sh*tload of money.
48197, thanks for showing love in LA
Posted by krayzeeboi38, Thu Aug-07-08 09:28 AM
sorry LA was so lame. most of the people who bought shoes just bounced right after they got them. only a few stuck around to see him dj for a good hour or so. my girlfriend was lucky enough to grab a gold pair. thanks quest

Posted by signpost, Mon Aug-11-08 11:31 AM
I saw a pair on Ebay for $10.50 last night. It had less than 36 hours on the auction. I was hoping and dreaming people wouldn't find that auction. My dreams have failed me. They are at $305 at the moment. Oh well.
