I picked these up yesterday:

Nice. I wasn't even aware they were going to be released at all in the US.

So not much of a sneaker head myself - it being a slippery slope 'n all that, but man am I sad to miss the Air Jordan 1 powder blue! I just didn't think they'd all be gone...instantly. What a shame.

I got a fourth pair of Nike Blazers recently. My favorite Nike shoe.
I replaced the laces with black ones.

At least the resell price isn't astronomical like the Shattered Backboards, Chicago, Fragments and DSMs. Smh. Nike with their limited AJ 1 releases.

I feel you.
I tried to buy them on crappy cable in Japan and could never check out on FTL and Co.
I'm not upset I missed out on them. I wanted the Royal lows more (since I ain't paying the $$$ to buy a new pair).
Haven't worn the Gift of Flight Pack or Legend Blues because of the colors and lack of clothing that matches.
East bay had some pairs Monday. And like I said, compared to the insanity of previous releases, the resell isn't astronomical if you want them (or trade).

Nikelab is supposed to drop the camo pair today (at 1PM PST). It seems like a fair amount of people hit yesterday on Supreme. My pair is marked as shipped.

Been a minute since I posted in here...I took a quasi-break from sneakers to sort out other stuff. I also had my heart broken temporarily when someone stole my package containing my retro Air Max Uptempo OGs off my doorstep a few months ago. 
My most recent pickups:
- Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG (royal and black/red - these were "remastered", but not really. LOL)
- Air Zoom Flight 96
- Air Flight Huarache
and these "Bamboo Safari" Air Max 90s:
I got these for a super-steal, $41 shipped from a Finishline. I had a random WC reward coupon, and something about all the different patterns caught me. Gonna swap the laces out for some black ones though, probably.
All of those pickups were below retail, of course. I'm gonna double back and try to pick up some pairs I missed earlier in the year; hoping to get the OG Infrared AM90/Neon AM95s, and maybe - just maybe - if the shoe gods are kind to me, I can get a pair of Chicago 1s.

do we know where? would love to try to get some.
maybe nike.com?
probably a single location in NYC?
that's how the 2011 mag launch went. no details given in advance, just a surprise out of nowhere.

gotcha, I'm hoping for something online, so we will see.

free the mags
will probably be a stream showing off the shoe with marty then biff steals the plans and goes into the future so the shoe gets delayed for next year

as expected, they'll probably sell 50 pairs exclusively in NYC and that'll be that

Oh boyee!
Interesting. It looks like more pairs will be auctioned off in 2016, probably on eBay again.

Why must Nike toy with my emotions like that?!
Need to vent.
When I buy from resellers, I ask for its condition and photos of all angles. Reseller was reluctant to give me photos but eventually got them. Pics were from a distance but shoes look like they were 8/10 condition as he claims with dirty soles.
Went out of my way to meet a reseller for Central Park NB530. When I inspect the shoes, the toe box was covered in stains, shoes look like they were his beaters and the soles were covered in mud. I told him politely that the shoes were in worst condition than he has claimed and that I am not interested. The guy had the balls to tell me that I wasted his time and I had to pay for his gas. Told him to fuck off and left.
Still fuming about it, I really wanted the shoes. Fucking shady resellers!

Yeezy season approaching
Good luck everyone.

I'm guessing this shit doesn't even ship to Canada, so I'm not even going to get my hopes up
Those are tight. If that's not rude, can I ask how much you paid for ? Are they limited edition ? Can't see them in the online store of my country.
A question : Are Jordan 1 OG (red and white) from 1985 still worth some money ?

Yes, definitely!
Don't think I've seen them in a Champs/Foot Locker/Nike Factory or anything recently. None of the usual sites you could pick them up on have them in stock, either. I bought them off someone locally, entirely unused. $80, no tax or anything naturally. Not too bad.
They're clean mate, really.
So 950 is the boot, right? I think I'll pass.
Still interested in the 350s, though. I wonder if this is going to be a restock of the grey and black 350s, or just the release of the white ones:
Seems like it might be these:
Dude apparently works at DTLR.
First impression: Meh. I have both the TDs and PBs, and I don't think these even compare.

my first pair of Ascis - Gel Lite III "Japanese Denim"
fantastic shoe

Yeah I get that a lot with footlocker Canada. Great news my fellow Canadians, NikeID is now avavilbe in Canada. My poor wallet
Finally. Was that just added today? That's great news.
