Struck out on the Feig Dooms and NMDs. However, a friend came through and got me the OG Air Max Zero and Just Don 2 Beach pack. Whew.

No pics yet. But soon. :D

I wasn't feeling the NMDs that released this weekend.

I'm not really loving the NMD's honestly, which makes me feel like a weirdo. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of Adidas recent output (though I do like the Tubular's, specifically the Primeknits). Now that I think about it, I haven't been loving a lot of stuff coming outta Nike either.

Man what a fucking nightmare. Kept trying for the Midnight Blue from Adidas and everytime they got my size in stock it was sold out instantly. I imagine some people were using bots to get them. Then I got an alert around 3am and I managed to grab a pair in Mightnight Blue but I was still shit out of luck trying to get the Sesame colour. They were £115 but with a discount I got them at about £95.

I searched around using the item code for the Sesame colour and arrived at http://overkillshop.com and they had one pair left and in my size so instantly bought. I waited over 10 days of them processing so contacted asking when they would be dispatched. Some stock fuck up and they didn't have them then so I was refunded. Bawh!

I kinda gave up on the Seasame then on Friday I spotted a pair on eBay. Worn once but wrong size for seller but correct size for me. I gave them a watch, fogot about them and on Sunday I got a reminder that they were ending in 15 minutes but it came through at 13 minutes ago so I had 2 minutes before they ended. Ran downstairs got the laptop on and it had about 50 seconds left with only 2 bidders. Threw in £75 and got them which was a surprise when others at Buy it Now prices were going for £150+

They came today and are basically brand new so proper happy with those. Been wearing the Blue ones and man so comfy compared to the Circular model which I posted above in the Wheat so they've been returned.

Fell in love with the first Air Max Zero release. So happy I was able to get the one based off the concept sketch as well!

The packaging and out of box experience for the Just Don 2s are amazing.

I also got a care package from my friends at Nike/Jordan Brand and they sent me this sick Just Don jacket!

Was thinking the same thing (though I love how The Masters look). Thanks GAF. Will try to catch the 12's down the road somehow.

I don't care for AJ12s at all. So the choice would be easy for me. (I wouldn't even consider the AJ12.)

However, I'm done with white shoes, especially Jordans where I need to be a little extra cautious. That's why I'm skipping those AJ4s myself (even with extra $$ from tax return on hand). I do like the OG colorway, but nah, I'm done with white shoes. I'll wait for the next AJ4 toros or Breds release.

So...id go with the AJ12 if I were you, since you like them both. The black shoe means less stress, and IMO, will go with more clothes.
 
Did my rounds today for raffle tickets. Personally went for an 8.5 but my friends put in for a 9 for me. Also took a chance on a yeezy raffle because why not.

I understand how some people are with shoes, especially white ones, but man they're just shoes. Little dirt don't hurt. I was liked that too until I realized the more I stressed about them, the dirtier they got lmao.

Gonna try for the OVO 10's this weekend online. Highly doubt I'll be able to score a pair, but just hoping for some crazy luck.

that's why I just buy white converse or vans if I want white shoes. they get dirty? who cares, they're like $50 I'll just get a new pair.

There's no way I'd wear a $250 pair of white Jordans or Yeezys outside, though. Toronto streets are dirty af
 
Fffu....

So my job asked me if I could work the day shift instead of my usual nights this weekend. I said sure without really thinking. Now I'm not sure how I'll get the 4s :( I guess I'm gonna have to take a chance online.
 
You and me both... I'm leaning more towards the 12's personally.
I want the 12s more myself...I have the white cement 4s from 2012, yes there's no 'Nike Air' branding on it, 'the cement is too dark' and whatnot but they still in decent condition that I'm not as hyped to get the one coming out this weekend.
 
The 12s are dope...but the ultimate OG colorway of my favorite Jordan all-time, with NA on the back is a must. Looks like it's going to be flooded this weekend too, so no problem getting these.

2015 was great for picking up Js, especially GRs - got Aqua 8s, Bordeaux 7s, Oreo 4, low 1s (black/red, royal) and all below retail. Started 2016 with below-retail Shadow AJKO OGs...hoping to keep the streak going w/those cement 4s.
