LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
Had them in the cart as soon as they went live, had all billing/shipping already filled in, copied and pasted my credit card info so it would go faster and it wouldn't go through.... kept getting an invalid error message and of course their site was my last hope, but worst of all the fuckers still took money from me. I have a pending hold of $230 from them UGHHHHH that can take 5 days or more to come off. Also obviously got no order email and nothing shows up under orders. Reminds me of finishline.com bs.... I'm shocked I was only charged one since I tried 3/4 times to checkout. Fuckers.
I'm so done with this shit.
Kayne /Adidas should shit out some more shoes for those of us who got charged and didn't get a pair. Find some damn stock/make more. Bad enough these cost $200.
wtf is wrong with me

This online shoe release thing is getting hectic. Struck out online with the Yeezy Boosts and SBBs. Adidas web site sucks. And the loss of NDC and FNL on the SBB release made it more difficult.
I did manage to pick up a pair of the SBBs locally. Won a raffle. Almost lost out on the pair because I showed up 45 minutes outside the pick-up window (didn't know it was only 10-12 at my local HoH). The leather on the SBBs is incredible. Like amazing. The colors are a love it or hate it (unless you're a Giants fan) but might be the best pair of 1s in a long time.

The 750's released at 9am PST so I figured these would be around the same time. Along with refreshing the usual sites, I would refresh the adidas page too. Every 10-15 seconds. I just happened to stumble upon the "You're in line" page and it caught me by surprise cause I think that's new? Didn't see any tweets from adidas or anything but somehow I was in line, checked out and only had issues at the final checkout page. Didn't use paypal this time as it's just an extra step/page to access. Just had to refresh the final page a few times and it went right through. Btw, the SBB's material is top notch.
Great pickups. Glad you were able to cop.
SF shoegawdz looked out for me today.
I hate you!!!

Sadderday. I feel you. I'm not upset that I missed the Yeezys. As mentioned before, Y3s and Tubulars provide a great alternative.

I paid resell on Chicagos, sadly. I had to work the morning of its release. And the work computers were not playing well with the FTL and Co websites.
If it's a shoe you want, it's not bad to pay the resell as long as it's not highway robbery. The only problem is figuring out resell. Prices can go down or shoot up (Fragment 1s).
I'm waiting for something I have listed on eBay to sell then I'm adding these to my cart immediately.
Dope picture!

I ordered a custom pair, will get them in a few weeks.
To each his own, to me it looks like someone hit the Randomize button in a game's character creator
Have a pair of the Tubular weaves on now actually, own a black pair of mocs as well
The outsole takes a bit of getting used to as it's really chunky and walking on them feels like walking on 2 tyres but the Tubulars are overall pretty damn comfy. The Primeknit pattern is sick; Tubulars are pretty underrated but easily one of the best sneakers out this year.

Man...I am just going to get some discounted Jordan Futures. I have the itch to buy some new shoes.

I copped two pairs online. Thinking of returning them. Not a huge fan of the execution on the latest KD WT. The 6s were cool. The best WT execution has been the WTL XI and SBs. The others seem to play more into limited QS hype versus a great execution of a shoe.
Bought another exorbitant expensive pair of Chicago yesterday. I really want to take a break but I like the 6 lows dropping this week.
And Addidas has definitely been on a roll. I wore a pair of the B/W Tubulars the other day. They weren't OMG comfortable but a cool shoe. Y3s, Tubulars, Ultraboosts, Boosts, Sam Smiths, etc are all going hard besides the Yeezys.
I'm hoping to score the Jordan 6 bred lows this weekend. I missed out on the regular J6 breds last year, but was able to get the J6 Sport Blues. I think I may like the J6 lows better overall, but I'll have to see how they feel on my feet first.
The local Champs Sports and Foot Lockers were doing a raffle. So I went and put my name in, and had the wife do it the next day.
The stores said they'll call the winner tomorrow (Thursday). Here's hoping!!
Doesn't do anything for me. Like, absolutely nothing. Glad you like them, though.

These. Are. Beautiful.

IMO the UBs are probably going to be the most comfortable out of all the abovementioned pairs. The 350 and the UB have the full-length Boost midsole but what sets the UB apart is its Primeknit/mesh hybrid upper which gives you a more snug fit.
If I could only pick up one pair out of the 4 up there, I'd choose the UBs, easy.
I don't even know a place local that I can try UB. It's weird. I live in the suburbs and all my local franchises are running shoe's over Basketball and they still don't have them.

Yeah those boots are fucking ugly.
I might get the tubular moc fox red, after I get my prime knits, we'll see how they fit.

Kinda liking the light grey boot (just like how I felt the 750 was best in the lighter shade). 350s are just... there. Blandest of the trio by far.
Foot Locker called me today! But I can't go buy the J6s until saturday

Yeezy boots look like early prototype of Ralph Lauren Polo boots.

Damnit I knew it, I ordered a pair of mi Adidas last week, and this week they announce 30% off on mi Adidas! Argh
I'm really going to stick to my "no sale no purchase" mantra, even if I did use a 15% rebate coupon.

Got these today
Double post, sorry.
Just saw Converse are teasing the new version of their Chuck Taylor shoe, and I was literally going to buy another pair this weekend.
Any thoughts on what this new version may be and whether it's worth the 10 day wait? I'm not in desperate need, but could do with them.

10 days isn't a long time. I would just wait and see.
You guys have any thoughts on what may be different? On the teaser, I saw a more rigid toe cap thing and the sole has an extra "level" going up the shoe.
As long as the sole is more durable, I'm gonna wait and buy the long awaited sequel.
