Foamposite is just plastic. You fooling yourself on the hype and advertising

So, as far as the specific foamposite in the OP, it's probably some limited edition that I would never be able to get for less than the $200 something it's listed at?

Damn, I wanted to make the Sneakers movie joke so I see it's already been done. Where's Hitokage anyway?
These two were my last 2 pairs over the past 5-6 years til they started to get all dirty and ratty, one pair going through a 2 weeks band camp ordeal in mud and another submerged in 2 feet of a river of rainwater in the street between myself and my dorm. Cool shoes, simple design, and comfy.
I'm getting fond of NBs as well.
I have this (actually wearing it right now):

It's $235 I need to update the OP but ask your local Champs / Footlocker and see what they say. If not I'm sure they will be on the Nike store they day of release but you're gonna have to be fast.
I love sneakers, as I mentioned before. My everyday kicks are NB 574s. IMO the best travel/comfort shoe. So comfy.
I have a bunch of them in different colors.
I used to wear them but now it feels like Air Max 90's were made for my feet they fit so perfect.
naw there's actually some legit tech behind it. Daewoo had a big hand in its development.
Well the MSRP is over $200 to begin with I believe, but I read they made a decent amount this time and they should be a general release. You never really know until they come out though.

Ayo, what are these?
I really need to pick up some new Chucks. Too many different ones I want to get on top of the classic Red and White pairs I need to pick-up/replace.

Nike SB Bruin "Black history month"
So clean.
I'm feeling these...
Odin Desert boots.
Bought them at target. They were part of the Odin x Target collab from the fall collection last year.

I'm looking around but unless you have $500 you may have missed the boat. But ill keep looking. I kinda want them too.

Cheapest ones I saw were on Craigslist for $300. I should have bought them and flipped them.
Yeah I'd buy them for $300 in a heartbeat. I'd wear em though.
Where did you get your pairs LJ?

I really need to get another pair of Nike's
That's my main go to. I wear a lot of earth tones, and I just love the colors on this.

More like when did I get them. These were the ones released a decade ago. I just pulled them out of the closet, they are prefect. The threes get yellow stains, not these, they look brand new. They ran big and I got a size lower so they're only an 8 I'm 9-9.5 normally. The best color way Nike released was the white and navy blue with the silver swoosh, destroyed both my pairs. I could never pull off the red/black ones so my second pair went unworn for a decade.

Which ones? I see the Last Shots on eBay a lot.
Thats awesome, man. You are right though, sometimes it is difficult to pull off breds.
I would just go the ebay route for these. I guess you want the last shots? I remember in 11 when they came out there wasn't much demand for them and they sat around for a while. Seems like ebay prices are pretty close to retail.
I need to check eBay more. Yup those are the exact ones I want. I never bought anything from eBay so I'd be hella cautious.

OT is looking nice
Just picked these up about a week ago.
Picked these up right when they came out last year which got me into buying sneakers again.

Ebay is straight.
I used to buy a lot of stuff from there.
I always go by feedback and ask for more pics if theres only 1 or just a stock photo.
The solecollector crowd is cool too. They'll usually be willing to negotiate too. Bought a few XIs from folks on there.

I always wondered about buying from ISS/SoleCollector. Do you have to register to buy stuff from the Marketplace?
I think so. Its been a while since i used it....like fall 11, so it may have changed since then.

Out of my entire collection (60+ pairs)... My favorites have to be...
- OG 1996 Air Jordan XI - Columbias; still deadstock/new. Yeah I know shoes are meant to be worn, but once they get a certain age and since I have the retros, I'm not touching these.
- 2011 Air Jordan XI Retro - Concords; The icey soles just did it for me.
- Tinker X P-Rod Zoom Air Elite; These came out X-Games weekend and were limited to 500 pairs. Love em.

I normally hate all-white shoes but those Columbias are beautiful.

They look similar to the vans some of my friends wear.

They're definitely similar, but there's that little something extra in the overall design that puts them way over vans imo.

I wish the canvas Janoski's used synthetic leather. The piping means I can't buy them (vegan). Pity I have to stick to Vans most of the time.
