Also bought some Flyknit Lunar 1s for running.

Gotta get me some. The flyknit trainers are fine, but want more of that lunarlon.
 
Damn that would suck if they are what he bought.
If anything, pay for piece of mind in finally getting a pair of XIs...chances are extremely slim for anyone when it comes to any pair of XIs that go on sale online at any of the major shoe stores, much less a restock.

When do they put up product links for the items on Nike and Footlocker?

Generally 8am.

A few rules to remember.

1.) Be at your computer well ahead of time
2.) Be logged in and have all your information up to date
3.) HAVE TWITTER open on each account (nikestore, footlocker, finishline,etc)
4.) Pray to the shoe gods.

If any of these companies truly cared they'd add captcha into all of these purchases. A majority of these sneakers are purchased before we even see the twitter links. Too many scripts and programs out that automatically purchase shoes.
 
In terms of Supreme Vans...

Ari > Floral > Snake > Bad Brains > Bleached

And that's where it ends. The checkered Half Cabs from 2006 were cool too.

Their best collabs are the Bruins, the new AF1s, or the leopard Timberlands.

The god has spoken.

(That said, I don't have any of them anymore, or the florals :()

This I can agree with.

I MIGHT try to get those Bred 11s if not I might go for the He Got Game 13s.

The Nike Basketball ‘Easter Pack’, consisting of the Nike LeBron X Low, the Nike KD V, and the Nike Kobe 8 will release on Friday, March 29th. The inspiration for the set comes from the tradition of dipping and dying Easter eggs, with each sneaker in the group dressed up in bright, pastel hues to match the Holiday.
Easter pack dropping soon.
 
not my pic but these flyknits arrived for me today

USPS is fucking around with my OG Air Max 1s. Said they made a redelivery attempt on Saturday when I face to face asked the postman if he had a package and he said no.

Yeah, it really isn't fair. As long as they get their money they couldn't care less.

Another release date for you to mark down, but some of you might already have this day in particular on your radar. The Air Jordan VIII ‘Bugs’, an original colorway from the 1993 that Bugs Bunny wore in ads as well as in Space Jam, will release on April 20th as confirmed by Jordan Brand. The release date was hazy up until now, with this Retro release kicking off a Summer 2013 season packed with sneaker releases that should have you flying high like Jordan once did.

Those Bugs Bunny 8s are are tough for me to pass on, but I recently bought Bugs Bunny 8.0s to satisfy that need - plus, the only 8s I want are the Aquas.

My next sneaker this year are grape 5s. I will have those no matter what.

Just got the AJ 11's. Feels good and bad at the same time. Hopefully I can snatch one of the restocks and break even on the extra I paid for these.
 
Nice shoes.

Geez.

Shoes that white...I would be so shook wearing them anywhere--afraid that any little drip of anything would wreck them

Coincidentally, I wore my 3 Pure$ today and I was worried the whole time and they aren't close to that white.

I really liked the white 3s, had em in 2006 when they first came out(the elephant print shade on the laces was a nice detail). Also had the a white 4s around the same time. Regret not getting the black cat 3s and 4s though. Tought choice but i was feeling the light colors (it was summer time).

The Air Jordan 13 “He Got Game” returns to shelves this weekend, but how do the new retros compare to the vintage originals? We pulled out a pair of OG 13s from the vault and put them side by side with the upcoming release version. Which details have changed, and which attributes have remained the same? See for yourself in this comparison post.

re: jordan holiday 13
im kind of digging those oreo Vs. might get those instead of searching for the playoff XIIs. i feel like the oreos might get slept on so i'm hoping there's a good chance i can swoop them up.

That sucks man... And I'd also love the 420s in blue, but apparently size 9 is the first thing to go... Blah.

Have you looked at the other New Balance options? I know that the 574 comes in wide (well according to their website).

Thanks. I ended up ordering those red 990's.

Now I'm debating with myself if I should pick up the New Balance m2040's. Man are they expensive though!

What's the difference between walking and running shoes? I guess I usually wear running ones. If running shoes have better cushioning, should they not be good for walking as well? i heard in running shoes the cushioning is focused on the hell while in walking shoes they are focused in the ball of the feet and the toes.

I'm honestly not feeling any of em, especially the 5s, look like fakes to me. I wanted the other rumored lineup with the Laney 5s, Metallic 5s and Bred 1s. =/


Only getting the 12s this holiday season. Guess I'm saving money unlike last year.

To be honest, I'm not really sure what the difference between walking/running is other than the overall shape. Granted, if you're not really a runner but more of a walker, then I guess getting walking shoes would be more beneficial while also adjusting your stride.

Also, as far as New Balance is concerned, the really expensive ones are usually made in the USA, hence the premium. I don't mind paying the premium for the ones I'm interested in though.

Hope you like your 990s and that they work out for you.
