Yeah, was lucky to get the black ones for at least retail. So I guess paying a premium for the navy ones is one of those things that I've accepted.

The glow Jordans in October are definitely gonna require me to be on top of that for sure.

Depends on how you value your time. To me, the easiest way to get a pair is to wait in line at the store.

Online has too many variables (Twitter bots on NDC), (SPA and payment issues on FNL), (the terrible server loads of FTL and family).

When it's raffles or online only, I have difficulty getting a pair of a desired Nike shoe. New Balance is even crazier. I had no shot at the B&B or Mojito's.

Well, we'll see what I do in October for the 4s. May camp if it's on a weekend.

Damn resellers in my area asking for absurd prices. Then I find the one dude on Craigslist who had my size only wanted $250. Of course they're gone.

Edit: Got a lead on my size for $215.

Don't get Got lol be careful with that.

Doesn't matter anymore. The guy who told me his boy was selling them for $215 was the same reseller I had already spoke to and got rid of them for $250. I'll hope for a finishline restock. If not I'll pick them up down the road when the craziness drops.

 

[hwalker84]

Would you trade the Gold Medal Pack (I only like the 6's in the pack) for the He Got Game's + $100?

No! Don't do it man.

 

[hwalker84]

No! Don't do it man.

Yeah I came to my senses.

 

[hwalker84]

Got them from a reseller. Got a few thing lying around which will make up the difference when I sell them.

Thank goodness. I don't really care for the GMP, but no way are the 13s worth both of those.

 

[Mr.Fresh]

Any one know if Lebron 9 run small? This guy at the store wouldn't even let me try em on because he was so sure they wouldn't fit me. I found them cheaper online the. What he was charging so I just wanna be sure.

 

[DominoKid]

they fit true on my feet. i remember the clerk telling me something similar when i got mine. i told her to go get them anyway and of course they fit.

 

[Jackben]

Found my local zumiez, they got a ton of supras that looked great. I'm primed to go back since now I don't have to order online

 

[Ninja Dom]

What's everyone's opinion on these?

 

[Bruce Lee Kicks]

Do you work at a nursing home?

 

[Mr.Fresh]

Imma go there today and make him let me try them. He acting like he wanted to buy them.

Varies. Personally, I had to go up a half size on the 9 and 9 PS. The Xs might be a little more TTS (slightly) but I still have to go a half size up.

 

[Bruce Lee Kicks]

Anybody here do legit checks? I see some Concords on CL for $100.

Wayyyyy too good to be true. They could be using fake pics too.

 

[Bruce Lee Kicks]

Yeah I figured. I posted a thread on NT for a legit check on them anyway, I'm being optimistic because people here are dumb. A while back somebody was selling the Banned 1s for $250 on there.

 

[Treefingers]

I'm trying to buy these SB Dunks (High Pro Birch/Hyper Red). Anyone know a place that might sell them in Toronto? If not, any Canadian retailer?

 

[Ovid]

Have any online stores restocked the Jordan 13s (He Got Game) yet?

You're gonna have to stay on your toes. Cancelled orders/restocks go up pretty early in the AM.

Not that I'm aware of. You need to block off everyday from 7:45-9am smashing refresh on finish line.com.

 

[number47]

Restock this saturday on XI for the 4th time. get it while its lukewarm.

 

[hwalker84]

So I put my GMP and Olympic 6's on Craigslist for trade dead stock unworn. I put up a list of shoes I'm interested in.

I get an email saying $250 asap. I'm respond for the Olympic 6's? Dude responds no for both..... You fucking kidding me dude!

Someone tried to trade me an ounce of weed for 13's. Craiglist can be funny like that, but get ready for an onslaught of emails regarding sizeswaps and lowballing.

Thanks, their no refund policy is kinda turning me off but their shipping is pretty good.

 

[hwalker84]

Got someone lined up for my GMP $450. Do you take it?

 

[cremebox]

I loved the colorway on these 2013s, I just couldn't pass on them.

I got the huaraches on sale and they really feel great.

 

[The Last Wizard]

I get my melo m9s in a few hours, I can't wait I haven't gotten new sneakers since 2011.

[hwalker84]

The icy sole makes it look even worse. Can't see these looking good on feet. Any reason why you guys like these? The white sock liner and midsole just kill it for me.

JB is running out of ideas, just give stuff we really want like the Tokyo 5s.

If that's too hard for them, how about the LS Carolina Blue 5s.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Arrived faster than I thought from ebay. Time to leave feedback.

Is it wrong to say that I like these more than my black ones, which I love immensely?

 

[SUPARSTARX]

how many of you guys pick up $200+ sneakers and don't wear them?

 

[hwalker84]

how many of you guys pick up $200+ sneakers and don't wear them?

I wear all of mine eventually.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I wear all of my stupidly expensive stuff as much as possible.

 

[ryuen]

I have a pair of Playoff XI's deadstock. Gonna hold off for a year or 2 I think. I love bringing shoes out years after a bunch of people have already run theirs into the ground. Cloak V's haven't seen any burn either, but it hasn't been that nice in SF to wear em yet.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

Oh I might just do this! I hope they ship USPS and not UPS...

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

If the mid-sole had the speckle plaint throughout & the shark teeth were a solid color it would have looked better. The entire mid-sole being all white makes it look very fake-ish for the 5s.

I'm pretty sure they have been selling that colorway for years from those fake Jordan Chinese websites.
Looking into my picture folder of fake Jordan coloways & yup, very similar

 

[Alucrid]

how many of you guys pick up $200+ sneakers and don't wear them?

Eh, I only have one pair of Common Projects I don't wear all that much anymore.

Also just bought a pair of flyknit lunar 1s for when the summer comes

 

[Scalibur]

My first Nike iD. Modeled them after the Pigeons of yore.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I dig those, nice colors.

 

[Jackben]

Yeah props, those are really nice colors. I will take pics if I get up to zumiez this weekend and grab a pair of supras. Need to decide on a design though.

Classic skytop, someone posted purchasing these on the first few pages and I really liked the look.

Vaider style, so basically a streamlined version of the skytops.

Slick ver.

There also variations on the above that include charcol or black on the soles, won't show dirt as bad but I love the look of the fresh clean rubber.

Thoughts?
