Digging the print on these (even if they're undoubtedly priced 10x what they're worth) but the black piping is nasty.

I've got the teal Shadow Society release, they look lovely and the suede is all kinds of buttery but I'm in excruciating pain when I walk around in them. I'm not sure if I got a bum pair but the insole is extremely narrow and the edges cut into my feet. Quite upset about that.

Those States look mint, never get them here in Australia not sure how the sizing runs compare to clydes
 
I can see the dislike of the 7-9s. 8s the weird straps and 9s look like boots. The 9s are great in the Motorboat Jones, Olives, Cool Greys and Chicago.

I'm going to skip the Hare Jordan's tomorrow. I'm actually going to try to not buy shoes for a month despite the Elites and Purple Fade Kobe's.

Got an order in for th e Jordan 8 Bugs but it seems like not that high of a demand to be sold out in seconds. Glad I was able to finally get something at MSRP for once.

Going to run out for the concord dunks later and see if I can score one too.

Try and scoop me up a size 13 please! Please don't rip me off buddy!

That too. My most wanted is the Kobe 8 Purple Fades.

It's took all of my will power to resist waking up and waiting in line at the mall for the Hare Jordan's and Home Elites.

I was surprised by my girl friend last night. She bought me a pair of Retro 88s for our anniversary.

No sz 9.5 concord SB at NC Boardshop. They only had 12 pairs and I was 13th in line.

Edit: Looks like Premier is taking phone orders for $108 shipped. (877) 742-2660
 
Speaking of which, they are still on for May 7th?

Anyone know when most stores will start doing raffle drawings for it?

Footlocker does it a week before release, but other stores do it beforehand 2 weeks or even more.
Don't wanna miss out like I did with the '88s & the Bred XIs.

88s were only online. And all you have to do is use the release locator on Foot Locker/Foot Action/Champs.

It all comes down to the stores policy on if they use raffle or FCFS.
 
I need to get some sneakers that goes for shorts and pants in the summer.

Any suggestions guys? For a reference, I just bought these leather ones.

I just got a white pair and I'm still interested in these, not really sure why.

What do you guys think? Should I make my purchase or switch up the color?
 
These actually look cool!

Thanks. I definitely love the 1400 as they're a bit longer in profile compared to say the 574s or 990 Anniversary, but they still have that boxy toebox that I'm fond of.

They're also made in the USA, which is nice as well, since I like supporting products made domestically.

Ugh these are so good. That Zappos link only has full sizes and no halves (I'm 8.5). Do these generally run big that I can get an 8 or would buying a 9 be the safe bet?

I normally wear a 7 or 7.5; those are an 8 and they're significantly smaller and more snug than any correctly-size shoe I own. Definitely size up.
