greedy genius ocean runner 1 Greedy Genius Ocean Runner

Greedy Genius offer a preview into their upcoming style, the Ocean Runner. With the name surfing as a bit of a tip-off, the shoe takes on subtle nautical characteristics mostly in the form of re-appropriated boat shoe characteristics. The shoe features tonal nubuck uppers with external lacing details along the heel and side panels. The branding is kept to a minimum except for the tongue area. No word yet on an official release date.

    Yeah these are mediocre and def. following the surf boat shoe/supra tip…i would buy them if the people involved with greedy were not shady as fuck…its more about what the brand represents than coming out with a clean trendy shoe..

    Looks like launch date at retail will be Oct 1st. Tell your stores you want to see them

    Hey Splish Splash. Since when is Visvim original. Just about every Visvim shoe is a take on a recognized style from someone else. “It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.”

    See the ZURIICK JAKOB MIDS!

  13. Posted by: wgb on April 23, 2009 at 2:22 pm

    make ‘em navy blue with gold rivets and a black sole and you’d really be rockin’ the nautical theme..

    I feel these are definitely a dope pair of kicks. I felt GG definitely fell off after like the 2 weeks of hype they had a few years ago and this is a good way to come back creating a shoe with a more subtle colorway and clean design. I dont like the usual GG, but I’d cop.

  15. Posted by: Jason on April 23, 2009 at 9:52 am

    Wow! Nice! Dope concept. Looks like quality. THese nubuck joints are hot! Is barneys ny going to have these?

  26. Posted by: Mikecee on April 22, 2009 at 5:14 pm

    GREEDY GENIUS ?

    DAMN.

    HEAT!

    GREAT DESIGN PERIOD.

    IN A WORLD WHERE EVERYSHOE IS STARTING TO LOOK SIMILIAR WITH THE TONALS, THIS IS A STRAIGHT UP DOPE DESIGN. EXPECT TO SEE THIS IN MAD COLORS + MATERIALS IN THE FUTURE.

    NICE WORK.

    TOO BAD HEADS IN VANCOUVER ARE GONNA HAVE TO GO STATES SIDE OR ONLINE FOR THIS SHOE.

    GG is always ahead of the game! the quality looks good on the close up pics… any plans for other colors?

  34. Posted by: george on April 22, 2009 at 2:53 pm

    Looks like Rick Ross is going to have to take back that line, “Greedy Genius, no reference to the ugly clothing”

  35. Posted by: skateboardP on April 22, 2009 at 2:51 pm

    beautiful shoe. although, i’m not the digging the stitching, it reminds me of the shitty nike vandals type stitching.

  38. Posted by: certifiedrex on April 22, 2009 at 2:25 pm

    Agree with all this love going on in here. I don’t think anyone would ever guess they were GG if they just saw someone rocking em

  39. Posted by: jerk on April 22, 2009 at 2:02 pm

    they remind me of the F-troupe jt137 (minus the color).

  40. Posted by: Cubs Suck on April 22, 2009 at 1:48 pm

  50. Posted by: 666 on April 22, 2009 at 11:57 am

    its nice to see brands mature and grow.

    this is a far cry from their previous seasons and hopefully they stick with this more subtle approach instead of making crazy patent skittled flavor colorways.

  51. Posted by: Graham on April 22, 2009 at 11:38 am

    i like it.

  52. Posted by: SAUL on April 22, 2009 at 11:32 am

    From day glow patent air force/ bape knock offs to some sort of high topped boat inspired shoe wtf? Does anyone actually buy this garbage? And more importantly is there anyone who doesn’t see right through this gimmicky follow the leader assed bullshit? Surprised they haven’t done a Visvim knockoff

  69. Posted by: beggers on April 22, 2009 at 9:20 am

  70. Posted by: TREVERIN on April 22, 2009 at 9:07 am
