Corks are so nice in hand! Got lucky on Sneakersnstuff online, but struck out on most Euro sites that released it earlier. They dropped today in Australia but quickly sold out.
And nice choice on the visvims! Cost a mint, but so worth it.

I know those feels man...
I've been lurking this thread for few weeks, so I decided to step up my sneakers game.
Legit pickup!

Was meant to be on a self imposed sneaker ban, but these released today and I couldn't resist.

Nice. Saw they sold out over seas. Air Maxes doing numbers right now.
Going for the 11s tomorrow. Skipping the Foams.

Had no idea Nike San Francisco was gonna be selling the Lost Art Bruin SBs in-store but of course when I went to check, they sold out of my size.
I placed an order for them today and they've already shipped out (with a pair of socks as well). Can't wait for them to get here.

I had issues initially with Nike adding it to cart. It kept giving me errors. And on Finishline, there was obviously the dreaded SPA.
But eventually, I was able to add it to two NDC carts, FTL, FNL and FTA.
I hope the Chicagos are like this. After that release I'm going to try to go on a sabbatical.
Sorry for all those that struck out.

Some new running shoes for me, was properly fitted for them.

That's crazy. I tried on the same pair today. I went to one of those running shops and I ran on a tread mill where they analyzed my gait. No surprise, I have flat feet and over pronate.
Tried the Hoka One, Brooks Adrenaline, Adidas Ultra Boost (strongly told not to buy this), NB 1240 and a few other shoes.
The one thing I hate about running shoes is 0 style besides the Nike Flyknit Family, Air Max, Lunar Racer, etc. but I can't run in Nike's.
I Un DS'd my New Balance x Concept Rose 997. Holy crap those shoes are beautiful. It comes in a nice box, has three laces (one has 3M!!), has 3M on the tongue and other sections, amazing suede and great comfort.
The New Balance 990 OG, 998 and 997 are great shoes. It's so crazy that New Balance, Adidas, Asics, etc don't get shine. Nike isn't the only game in town if you're a real shoe enthusiast.

What'd you think of the Sauconys? I was deciding between the Hurricanes and a pair of their Omnis but chose the former because the price difference was negligible.
I can run in Nikes (been running in my MC Lunar 1s up until now) but I hated how "flat" the cushioning was after a couple of runs so this has been a long time coming. Though yep, I agree with you in regards to the lack of style in running shoes if they aren't Nikes...
In any case, I stumbled upon these at my local Nike outlet and was grateful that they had my size at all (Nike x Fragment Hyperchase). Bonus was them being cheaper than msrp:

Nice pick up.
Your issue with your Lunars maybe the lunarlon which flattens out after awhile. Same issue exists with Kobe 8 and 9.
And besides the flashy ooh ooh look at me color, the silhouettes and styling of runners are usually sub par. Again, Nike has the styling and wow factor down. You CAN run in their shoes like the racer, Vomero, Lunar Racer, etc but their runners don't target market segments like their basketball wares.
I neglected to write down the Saucony model the clerk brought out. I felt like the Saucony, Brooks and New Balance were some what comparable.

Thanks and yep, my issue is with lunarlon, which is basically memory foam so when basically pounding flat pavement when your feet are not quite flat, but not truly arched either... definitely mushy feeling. I'll probably still use them but it's gonna be coupled with my Sauconys.
Funny thing is that I love the retro looks of the Saucony (Shadows 5000 & Grid 900), Asics (Gel-Lyte III) and New Balance (574, 996, 997,1400, etc.) runners but not Nike's retro runners.
Still, there is a dearth of Nike-type styling when it comes to modern runners for Asics, Saucony, Brooks, etc. and it does kinda suck really.

I have wide flat feet, low arch, and over-pronated myself...and like you, I wanted to run in Nikes.
I've been running in Kayanos for years, which were really nice, but I realized if I really want to run in Nikes I'd have to change my stride, strike, and pronation in order to do it. In other words, my whole gait, lol.
But in doing so it made me into an efficient runner overall. I made myself very aware of my own foot mechanics and be able to correct things on my own...which has led me to be able to run more comfortably and safely, thus leading to less injury and hopefully to run better, longer, and faster overall. Nowadays instead of using full-featured trainers like Kayanos that have support, stability, cushion, etc., but are also very heavy I could now run in super lightweight Lunaracer 3s, Lunartempos, Flyknit Lunars, and Flyknit Racers. It's all due to changing my gait on my own than having to depend on shoes that just try to 'band-aid' bad running habits.
It did take some work though...a lot of trail and error, and some injuries along the way. It took a while, but now I'm doing okay with my gait overall.
A running coach told me the more efficient gait you develop you can practically wear any shoe for running, and that's what I did.
I'm nowhere near a fast runner, but at least I can comfortably run a half and survive a marathon.
All that said...the shoehead in has led me to cop the blue Nike Gyakusou Lunaracer 3s to use in a future race. =)

That DSM Jordan release, smh. What a disaster. I kept just going through an endless cycle of checking out.
I was able to get the Xenos on the FTL and Co restock.

Furthest I got was the payment page then the cycle would begin anew. I'm okay with striking out. The only shoe on the horizon I have to have is the Chicago 1s.

What's going on with the superstars supercolor, are they releasing the colors over a few weeks? The canadian site only has 17 colors. I wanna chose from all 50! This release is a really good idea though, even if I'm not a huge fan of the superstar model, the 50 colors is a good idea.

I really like the Barcelona Days Jordans, great color mix.

I like them, but I would wear them with pants that have either elasticized ankles, or cuffed, or with shorts. Low tops don't look good IMO if the pants lay over the shoe, especially if the fabric is more thick/rigid like jeans. Kind of like here http://zanerobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/ZANEROBE-730_Mono_0835.jpg
If the jeans are skinny and/or cuffed I would think it's fine. I would never wear low tops with something more loose or baggy at the ankle.

Yea they're great I cant wait to wear them out.
They look even better in person.

So apparently the superstars are really of crap quality, the Adidas site has a lot of complaints, some have photos of damage even if brand new and never worn. Beware.
I'm on my 3rd pair of Fluxes now (infrared, stripeless blue, black xeno) and I'll take them over a Roshe any day of the week. They are indeed comfy but do note that the insoles in these things are horrific. Thin as hell, which means that the Fluxes don't have the springiness of a Roshe Run. That said, the insoles can be replaced and the Flux is much better constructed than a Roshe.
Spiderjericho

I agree with your critique of the insole. I have quite a few Fluxes and find them uncomfortable out of the box. I actually prefer to wear Roshes because of it.
But there definitely some great designs of the Flux ie Prism, Oceans, Cityscape (the original trio), Xeno Black and Gray and a few others.

I wore my Roshe wolf grey for the first time today. I like them, except I was surprised to find that the front isn't reinforced at least with some foam inside, which means that you can actually see the shape of your toes bumping the surface. I think they should pad it with foam to keep a nicer form. Maybe I should have gotten them a bit bigger.
Another weird thing is how the back of the shoe is really high, causing it to dig in your ankle when walking, but not to the point that it would be uncomfortable.
I quite like the look of them otherwise.

I like the OG, 90 and 95 Air Max designs and color ways (original).
Not sure if it's their marketing or nostalgia but Nike does a great job keeping even their old designs and shoes relevant and desired.

The 90 poping cork is the only one I really liked so far, but not enough to cop them.
Aaaand, the stan smiths I posted on the previous page are no longer available in size 10 on the hypebeast store, can't find them anywhere else
damn those Pre-Grape 5s are a flop. still a near FSR on Finish Line
oddly enough it was almost an OG colorway
