Thoughts?
Click to expand...

I was thinking about purchasing some Supras as well but they are extremely expensive in Australia, i was leaning more to the Skytops over the vaiders, i just think they look nicer i guess all the extra bits of "style" on the sky tops are doing it for me over the streamlined look

Extra: Delivery Came today!!

Switched up the laces on my navy NB 420s to the red instead of the creme colored ones, I think they look better actually.

May keep the creme ones just for my black 420s, since it pops out more.

Also am considering flyknits as well, I need an extra pair of running shoes.

I'm considering IDing a pair of KD5s, too...it's my birthday (in a few days), so why not?

Was tempted to pick up the flyknits next week but was talking to one of the salespeople at Niketown mentioned that four new colorways were going to pop up next month, so guess I'm gonna wait.

The multi-colored one especially has my interest...

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?

I do think the navy blues look better, the black looks a bit too severe and the thing with all-black shoes is that the detailing isn't as visible as differently-colored ones.

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

Let me know how the feel. I'm looking to pick up a pair for the summer.

Agreed and that's probably why I prefer them - just that little pop of creme in the sole makes them more eye-catching.

Here they are with the red laces, which I ended up liking more than the creme color.

May switch out the laces on the black but dunno yet.

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.

Those Tokyo 5s are amazing, but I still like the Oreo's the best *shrugs*

White sockliner and sole gives amazing contrast

Already had my pair of playoff 11s but I was able to get a size 8 for my cousin. Finishline pulls through. Only time it failed me was for the Royal 1s, still sad about that.

Who got their Breds today?!
Click to expand...
Not this guy. I feel bad since I ended up getting 6 pairs from Europe and the custom fees were ridiculous. Then FNL had their All Star restock, FTL had their in store restock and now this.

The lesson I learned is to not give a duck if I miss a release. They'll either rerelease/restock or there will be another new whiz bang shoe. The Breds were a diversion for the Barkley Posite Eggplants.

Can't wait for the Kobe 8 Easters next week.

It's their own fault if they don't have a pair. These have dropped way too many times, unlike the Royals or WC IIIs.
Click to expand...
Yup. I don't have the above. They were definitely two of my anticipated retro releases but Nike decided to do the oki doke. Hopefully, they restock them like they've done the Bred 13 and Bred 11.

The worst release this year were the Initial release of the Black Camo 28s, Royal AJ 1, Knick AJ 1, Chicago AJ 1, Bred 13s, Stealth/Joker 3, WC 3 88.

Of course the craziest release was the Lebron Corks and a few fringe joints.

I was out since 12:30am, store opened at 8am, we didn't get to buy until like 9am.

It was a long, long night and I've never camped out for sneakers in my life lol.

I picked up the breds from a local Foot Action so the line was small.

I'm a size 13 but finish line was sold out online of 13 so I went with a 14. Anyone know if the breds run a bit smaller???

I haven't bought breds in a long time, so no idea how they fit.

They actually run a little small/tight. I wear an 11.5 and have wider feet, so the 12 is preferable. Go a half size up, unfortunately there isn't a half size up for 13. You could always put a sneaker shield or wear a few socks.

Well, you know what they say about big feet...baddum dum.

I'm so bummed out about the Lebron Elite prices.

Nike out of all my drug dealers has the hottest product but man, their prices and quality is hit and miss.

$250 for Jordan 28s. I think $200 would have been okay. Personally, I think retro Jordans should be $140, KD price is fine, Kobe's are fine at $140, Lebrons should go back to $160 and the AJ 28 could have been $180-$250. But instead the XIs (CDP, Concord and Bred XI) have created a hype filled, high priced environment.
