I feel as though I am the minority in this.

I am not attracted to these at all.

If they weren't stamped Supreme, I don't think they would have such a large following.

I don't really care about the Supreme, Dill, or FA connections/brands. I just like things that say "Awesome." Could do without the "Fucking," but it's also kind of funny.

These were affiliated with Supreme from day one. Dill's relationship with Supreme would have made these hype all on its own. Not to mention Earl is seen in the Red/Gold pair in his latest music video further igniting the flame. That all on top of the fact that they were teased for so long I think they would have a similar following. We would have seen a lot less herbs and resellers with these had they not been sold exclusively at Supreme however I think in the end the hype would still be there.

Fucking Awesome stays being cool because it's so limited. It's partly on purpose, but I'm sure there's a limit on production due to budget too. It's a small brand, but gets dope opportunities, like Etnies+. It's mainly for friends n fam, and then a ill bit of leftovers for us common folk. I make OTWS stuff in the same manner...but mainly cause of budget hehe.

At the risk of sounding like an absolute douchebag, the shoes aren't stamped anywhere with Supreme or have any form of Supreme branding whatsoever on them :)

Thats because they aren't actually a Supreme release. Just like the 20th Anniversary Half Cabs these were only FOR Supreme. Vans Syndicate x FA for Supreme.

The tongue seems shorter on these than any other Authentics. Not sure if I'm just crazy though.
