    They just dropped and I don’t think they are a huge collector item, so it was easy to get them. I also got a pair for my son in kids size. E0C16DFB-737C-4624-A556-2D23B2F59AD4.png

    I didn't pick up the Apollo 11 shoes but when Omega failed to release the Gemini IV 50th anniversary watch in 2015, which might come out tomorrow, I opted to settle for these LE Gemini IV Timberland boots.

    Picked up the Vans collaboration a while back to go with a t shirt, waiting for the Apollo 11 SS

    The Vans Black sk8-hi are my favorite NASA x sneaker colllab. I wear them quite regularly!

    Is there any NASA/Apollo branding on those Nikes? They just look like regular white sneakers.

    They are silver. They are a Paul George PE(Player sedition). Nike swoosh on the lateral side.

    Very subtle. I can appreciate that, but a more "in your face" NASA logo is more to my taste. I might look at a pair of the Vans SK8-Hi.

    No, but I was able to order this after the Victorinox site crashed for 3 hours yesterday. Only 1969 pieces, and it appears they might have some left if anyone is interested.

    I’m a huge sneakerhead with 100-plus pairs of Nikes in my closet but unfortunately the PG3 is a shoe that does nothing for me in any colorway.

    I’m actually not a sneaker head (tho I did score the Travis Scott OG1 a couple months ago) and more of a space fan. Just got my son’s pair which he’s ecstatic about and we are going to go watch the IMAX Apollo 11 documentary today.

    Markings on the PG3 are subtle, but my son loves the Apollo 11 patch and writing on the heel. I was considering returning the shoes, but my son wants them and the PG3 is pretty comfortable. Since they aren’t collectible, we can just wear them and also not wear the red tag on them, haha.

    Some pics...and one gratuitous 321 shot.
