The Hundreds Hoya – Black – Charcoal

The Hundreds’ footwear lineup offers a variety of lifestyle-oriented homages to familiar athletic designs, and on a few occasions, they’ve even gone the ‘pack’ route to further connect with the mainstream. A notable instance occurred around the turn of the year when the ‘Ben vs Bobby’ design battle pitted two Hundreds Hoya runners head-to-head in a Facebook battle of opposites. The ‘Safari’-ish printed version looked to be the favorite, but it’s the more subdued black style that appears to have scored higher on the test of time. This new Hoya is quite similar though it switches to a shiny black eyelet wing instead of grey for a new twist, and you can see more below before you grab yours at retailers like Primitive.
The design could have done without the Reebok Omni Pump-esque plastic lace stays, imo it cheapens the look of the entire shoe...
@Lurker111 seeing as that is the hero of the design, the shoe couldn't do without it. i actually like the look, and a different colorway would change the "cheapness"
@Lurker111 they look nice on feet, funny thing someone compared these to a Nike Pegasus shoe
@Nonhyped it looks more like a cross between a Puma Blaze of Glory and Reebok Omni Pump.
@Lurker111 i actually see that, but idk there is a little bit view on it
