So many dope shoe stores here in Tokyo (visiting for three weeks) but my feet are to big.

What size are you? Any stores you recommend visiting? I'm hoping to go sometime this year.

A pair of grails came in today: Nike Footscape Woven Chukka 'Rainbow'

skit in kichijouji had a lot of larger sizes. but as for retail stores, yeah, its difficult to get larger sizes.

as for recommendations in japan, everyone should check skit. its a little out of the way but worth it. i found a pair of brand new 2003 AJ1 patent leather for ~100 dollars.

lots of good places in harajuku, shibuya, ueno.

If you do manage to find a big & tall store that will have size 12 US and up, prepare to be extremely disappointed. I forget if it was Shinjuku or Shibuya, but I remember passing 2 or 3 ABC Marts with all kinds of awesome stuff on the way to a big & tall store that had like exactly 2 Nikes in my size, and both looked more like something a 50 year old nurse would wear for a 12-hour shift.

Happy Air Max Day!

I was able to get the entire patch drop off END. Air Max 1, 90 and 95. About $513 shipped after conversion. >.<
 
Slightly late but Happy Air Max Day!

Not worn these in ages - Hufquake w/ Starks laces. I really should get them back into rotation.

(and I should stop by Community more often, anyway subbed)

Wormtokyo posted a DS pair for $300 yesterday and I should have copped. So ill.

Interesting, did you use their US site or the UK one?

I normally use their US site (so no need for conversions) and have found a few items there that are much cheaper than going to Nike but have found a few items that are more expensive.
 

END don't mess around with shipping. UK to Australia within 4 days!

Also got the AM1 on the way from Hanon, which despite ordering before the 90s & 95s, seems still to be in the UK. =/


And just copped the AM90 Corks off SNS!! Been on a good run as of late.


Edit: Shit, just remembered I also copped the Ronnie Fieg x Puma R698 'Sakura'. Last few days have been brutal, lol.

So mad I missed out on the MC Flyknit Max today. I'm such a sucker for Flyknit.

Were those LM's leather conditioned?

No, I "aged" them with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser after a few months of owning (and wearing them), and still wear them regularly. Best shoes I own, and the quality is incredible.

Some other pics, deadstock and how they are now

Any hype for these Sneaker-GAF? These kicks look beyond fresh to death, must cop.

Air Jordan 1 "Chicago" Remastered (May)

Foamposite One "Gone Fishing" (June)

There's probably hype for the Chicago's. It last retro'd in 2013 but the leather was terrible, didn't have NA and had Jumpman on the heel. This uses the remastered mold, has better letter and NA. The other issue is Nike usually produces less 1s compared to their other GRs.

Can't really comment on the Foams. Supremes, China Exclusive, Mirrors, Golds, Yeezy, Wheat and Black Out Suedes all did well.

How the hell do you guys get your kicks on release date?

The Internet never worked as sites get destroyed by people as thirsty as me tryna get these kicks and waiting in line is hella tedious. Have no connects sadly :(

the only real must have for me in the next few weeks are the Chicago 1s and Bred 11 Lows. maybe the Georgetown 11 Lows if I'm feeling the mood when the links drop.


Nike still slacking on putting out some Cavs CWs for the Lebron 12.

the Shattered Backboard 11s are dope too but JB apparently is gonna play bullshit w/ the supply.

Those AM90 corks are totally on the radar. Were they hard to get?

I'm going to Japan & HK in less than a month, and I think it might be time to finally get some Visvims FBT's seeing that the Yen is totally down.

I think I've made it a habit to search for the UNDFTD x Visvim collabo every month or so on ebay.

hope these drop in Canada. don't want to buy them across the border and get raped with the exchange rate...

...but Footlocker Canada sucks so I might be shit out of luck

House of Hoops will get em, the regular Foot Lockers wont. Champs won't get it either. Livestock and Capsule should get it.
