Undftd LV still had the Campus Nigo's in stock. These look really good in person.
Got my Supreme delivery today.

XIs?
I'd say the last few were TTS. The Bred 2012 and possibly Concord 2011 were probably TTs or half size up.
YMMV but I'd go with TTS in the XIs, especially the lows.
Haven't rocked a 13 in awhile to really comment.
I want to get a pair of Ultra Boosts, probably the Orange pair. Probably use them for training. I'm afraid to use them for running because of my flat feet lol.

Personally, I don't even think the XI retro sizing has been consistent. My 09 Space Jams for example are humongous, 2012 Breds fit sorta loose and my Concords fit great when sized down.

I ended up looking at the Adidas site to see the other colorways of these and realized that they've got quite a few shoes I really like right now, and that their stuff is crazy inexpensive compared to Nike. Makes me wish I had more of a need for some kicks.

lol how's the fire extinguisher? I got the kanji new era cap, classic logo cap, and bacchanel tee in heather pink. The beach ball is the best free item supreme has ever given out

And for me what's great is that their Canadian site isn't crap, unlike Nike's. I can even use the customization tool.
I fall under that category.
They look nice, but a ridiculous price point.

Those prices make the 750 boost look like a bargain. Yeezus.
In other news I received these two beauties today. I struck out on the EU release but had my friend in tokyo grab them for under retail [thanks to the weak yen]. Anyone whos considering them should definitely try to get a pair on the NA release.

Great pick ups Yoshi! These could be the new Air Max "Independence Day" pack. Hoping to somehow add the black and especially the sand colourways next week.

Caught the white/volt "Billy Hoyle" Nike Air Command Forces on the low for $99, just sitting in a Dr. Jays in Brooklyn.
Bought them and didn't even try them on; I ran out the store like I'd done something wrong, lol. I love pickups like that!

I bought the Command Forces when it first came out at retail, no regrets, yo.
Kinda tempted to get another pair at clearance prices, though.
Anyways, picked up the red Flyknit Lunar 3s yesterday, need to put them into a couple of runs next week to see if I want to use them or the volt Lunartempos I also got for the LA Marathon next weekend =)

Picked up some 4lab1s at half off for my bf's birthday - they're not my favorite thing, but he specifically pointed them out a couple weeks ago, so..
I really want to find a slick pair of all/mostly white hightops for a trip to LA next month, but I have a weird hang-up about dropping $100+ on something so basic.

Get any of the pieces that drop this season from Supreme?
So far I copped the Black Backpack and a grey Neil Young in small. Can't wait til I got home for spring break to see them both haha. I probably won't be keeping the NY tee though.
I was so glad I copped the backpack, I saw a lot of people saying to wait on it (since bags always sit) but I had a feeling it would sell out, it's one of the best looking and most practical backpacks Supreme has done in a looooooooong time
Must cops off the top of my head for the rest of the season are the blue International Coaches Jacket and the black Reflective Windbreaker
are those blue ones presto slipons?
Fragment Design x Nike Sock Dart "Photo Blue"
i like those. shame they cost a grip on ebay.
They're NIKELAB's so they're really hard to get. The black ones come out soon.

Anyone try on the Barcelona/Marvin the Martian 7s?
I bought a pair. I was able to get another in cart but opted not to double up.

Nice: RIVALVRY HI NIGO
Edit: If you're in Montreal, check Influence-U. I saw a couple of Y-3 in store yesterday for the first time, such nice design. Didn't try them though. Also saw the leather Raf Simons x Adidas Originals Stan Smith in red and in gray, they look great, just way too expensive.

they honestly do look a lot better in person. this shoe's shape doesn't do well in photographs. they are really comfortable too, just a tad bit too high imo.

Kanye said they'd be available and anyone who wanted them would be able to get it. Figured it was press speak especially in light of the prices of the rest of his collection.
I'm a fan of high tops shoes so it's right up my alley. I'm pretty sure I can pull together a good fit with these.
Yeah I remember him saying that. In a recent interview though he did say that Adidas was the one that made it limited. Sucks that I'll have to pay ridiculous reseller prices but whatever. I hope the black ones are easier to get (doubt it lol) The prices on his clothes though is lol worthy.

It's too bad the Roshe are supposedly of poor quality. The 2015 version in all gray are quite nice.
What? I've had a ton of them for years as daily beaters without issue.

Good know, I got that on the Nike site's review page. People say you can't run with them.

Blame the "Bubble." The mainstream popularity of sneakers and demands thanks to all of the Killa shoes (Concords, Galaxy Foams, Yeezy 2s, etc) has made it easy for Nike to raise the price a significant amount year over year. This has gone across the board to ALL of the shoe manufacturers. People are willing to pay the premium.
Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 retailed for $350 and they easily and quickly sold out.
Air Jordan XIs were like $160-$170 a few years ago. Now, thanks to the popularity, they charged $200 for Legend Blue (Columbias) last fall.
As far as Roshe's go. They're durable. I have a Yeezy iD I made two years ago that have held up quite well. I use them in the gym all the time.
The original mesh is built Ford tough.
BTW, they restocked the Multi-Color Flyknit Roshe IDs today.
You definitely CANNOT run in them. No support/response. Definitely a casual shoe.

Definitely a misnomer. They're just a casual shoe. One of the best Nike creations in the last five years. Though they have whored them out a little too much.
And as far as retro Jordan's. I personally buy them for the memories. I grew up when Michael played ball. I also like the aesthetics of some of the models.
The new sigs are usually one of the top performing basketball shoe. He only issue is the price for performance. If you're strictly buying them to ball, there are cheaper options that perform almost as well.
Yeezy Boost. Main issue is the color. The design is okay.
The Roshe Run is just some fancy alliteration on Nike's part. It's been mentioned before, but the Roshe is purely a casual shoe.
WRT to the Yeezys, we've been through this before. The previous 2 were based off athletic sneakers while this one is a high-fashion design. The Boosts actually look quite nice paired with slim or skinny pants, of course if you've been rocking NTdenim and chunky basketball sneaks your whole life I could see how you'd be struggling to make these work.
