It's just in 2006, they were soooo limited and it really is, for me at least, the hunt that's more fun. XI's are my grails and aside from those, everything else is just about the hunt.

I will be about that 25th restock!!?
 
May 25th should be pretty exciting. If you are on the fence on any of the restocked shoes, definitely don't sleep on the White Cement 3s or Thunder 4s.



Love both of em, still DS.


Black Toes releasing the same day. Really hyped for those, can't fit into my size 8s from 2007 anymore.


*prefer the black tongue on these but the Nike Air is worth it. Swapping with red laces if it looks good.

Kobe 8 Purple Gradients by spiderjericho, on Flickr

Bout two pair today. In person, it was worse than last week. Stores only got one full size run. Had a bad experience with a reseller.

Almost went OD since the Nike Factory got Bred 13s and they had N7 KDs.

I'm hearing the 88s are going to be very limited. It's either dash for the black toes or dash for the 88s.
 
Well, I can make the comment about all shoes being made of cheap material. Nike is notorious for their profit margins.

They're not exactly Retro Jordan, Chuckposites or Foam desired but for basketball shoe fans, it was one of the better colors of the Kobe 8s.

Stores only had one full size run. I was competing against one guy at each store.

You should enquire with the site, I think there are certain guidelines they have to follow like knowing the person's name etc.

It is alright. I will ship them to a friend who lives in Seattle, and he will ship them to me. Still cheaper after customs than buying them here.

Keep one grape or flip both?? Tried one of them on and it's kinda meh on my feet. The fit is a little awkward for my foot for some reason. I normally prefer wider ones but this one feels like it will suffocate my toes.

How hard is it to just wait in line for every release and flip pairs on ebay for 100+ profit? Seems like a decent side income for a college kid no?

My favorite shoe of all time. I had some free time today... I was browsing NT's Columbia thread and it made me want to reach into the vault and pull em' out to appreciate them again.

I love my OGs and the retros. Here's hoping to an icey blue re-retro in the near future

Posted these on my instagram:

Got SO many props at graduation today for my Flint XIIIs. I was gonna rock my Jams but they didn't match w/ my shirt like the Flints.

I'm probably gonna try to grab 2-3 pairs 5/25. I don't wanna go too overboard but hopefully I can get the cement 3, bred 11 and 13 again.

Skipping the 8s this weekend like I did the Hare Jordan's. The only 8s I'm buying this year are Kobe's.

I WANT the Black Toes but I also want the WC 88s, Venice Beach Kobe 8 (new shoe) and Lebron X Corks.
 
Kinda digging these

I'm not a huge Kobe shoe's fan, but I might just have to scoop these up (since I'm a footballer at heart). I was going to buy thses in the elite FG versions for summer league till I had seen the new colourways.

Yeah I think I will skip the Suns 8's because I want the Bred 11s and Blacktops (want these most) on the 25th.

I'm feeling those Suns man...

Damn this thread...

Shoutout to the guy that didn't write my name on the package, thus freaking me out for two days before my mailroom figured out the situation. Just glad I don't have to sweat USPS anymore about a lost package lol. These IMO might be the shoe of '13:

Also traded a spare pair of Bred XI's for WC IV's. Same guy has Concords and AM97 Black/Neon DS too (definitely something I've been looking for for the past couple of years), so I'll be saying farewell to my spare pair of Royals and some cash too. May has been a really ridiculous month. Black Toe 1's later on this month, and I can chill for a bit after that.

Ofcourse I wanted the Jordan 1 Royals like everyone else, but not going to pay stupidly high prices for it. But while browsing a sneaker websites, found that they were having a bsaically half price sale for the other less rare jordan 1's and copped this for £50

It's time for me to buy some more airmaxes. My infrareds and neon yellows are on nearing the end.
