I guess i was too late for snkrs. I dont even have a button on the 12s to buy them.
Damn, just saw that. I'm a little surprised these are going so quick. Though maybe once the initial rush dies down sizes will come back in stock on the app and online.

That being said, if you got charged on Finishline you might be good. I've had Eastbay and Footaction orders do that where my card was charged hours before I got any sort of confirmation. They all went through fine eventually.

yeah i just copped a pair of the Horizons off the snkrs app cause i forgot about those last week. hooray for performance bonuses 🙏

hopefully they get more of these 12s on here.
Edit: no dice. 8 failed charges later and Finish Line can consider me a former customer for the foreseeable future. i cant believe this shit.

i tried the other sites too but at least none of them took my money and pretended to let me order.

Edit 2: finally got thru on eastbay. Had to settle for a halfsize up like i normally do on foams. Hopefully that works or ill just flip em on ebay.

Took a huge L on the 12s today. Got a pair for myself but my plug screwed me out of an 8.5 for my nephew. He ended up selling it to someone else. My nephew wanted them badly so I'm just going to sell my 10 locally and pay resell for his pair.
 
SNKRS has been great. It hiccups the first 5 minutes but at least you don't get splash screen loops. Also checkout is so much easier with saved PayPal and touchid.

Since they upgraded it, I've had issues. I'm tired of throwing air balls. I prefer the old click then wait in some ways. I do like some of the UI and personal preferences changes. Also don't understand why they extended this toward the desktop application.

I was able to get a pair of the Masters on SNKRS. It seemed like the easier option to FTL and Co. Also, FNL is insane with the SPA.

I can't believe we're still dealing with this years later.

Adidas is killings game right now with Ultraboosts, the Dooms, Y3. I picked pairs of the White and Mystery Grey UBs a few weeks ago.

I was pretty upset I couldn't get a pair of black woodwood x ultra boosts, but I did get a pair of core black UBs for under retail so the weekend wasn't a total bust.

Going to be my go to shoe now.

No info on a date yet. A semi-similar (but not as fire IMO) UB is coming out in April.

 
How long do the orders on adidas.com usually take to process? I ordered the ultra boosts yesterday with the expedited shipping and it's still processing. I know it was on a sunday, but I figured they would have been shipped by tonight.

edit: it shipped

Nike.com shipped my Master 12s!

This year is gonna have me broke, though. Already looking at those French blue 12s coming out in a few weeks.
 
People are saying NDC is canceling orders. Mine is still in limbo for the 12s.

People saying they're getting 20% off and first dibs on the French blues as well.

I really like the masters tho. Hope mine go through.

Edit: Damn, Barney's Warehouse had the black tubular dooms in stock for a size 9 and 13. Sold out when I checked. I should pay more attention to my page monitoring, I had it setup because of the Yeezys...
 
My cousin got a 20% off code and a guaranteed size/spot for the French Blue 12s since his SNKRS order got canceled due to overstock. Damn lucky guy, I would've kept my Masters order and hope it would've got canceled too, lol. I really want the French Blue 12s, especially at 20% off and guaranteed purchase at release.

I wish 1s weren't so fucking expensive, they're probably the best Jordans
second to the 6s
. This year is looking hella nice when it comes to releases though especially the second half. The Flu Games, Space Jams and Banned 1s are a top priority but I also think I'm gonna start collecting 1s.

Ideally, I'd have:
Backboards
Banneds
Royals
Shadows

I didn't even think that was possible, thats clutch as fuck.

Blame the 2014 Breds on the price hike on almost every single 1 known to man. Shadows were going for near retail until Breds hit and now they're 450$ lmao. Glad I got mine for retail, they're basically my go to shoe. I got a pair of Royals but I got played, they're UA. I want a real pair one day.

1s are my favorite silohouette
 
Word on the street is Cyber Monday 3s are on the way. No real pics out yet but I wonder what they'll look like. I'm thinking similar to the Black Cements...but how similar? White elephant print?

Also, finally got me a pair of Tubular Dooms for retail. Shoutouts to NikeTalk. Got a pair of 2012 Bred IVs for 115$, too, coming in tomorrow. Only looks like midsole chipping (common, easy fix) and the heel tabs have some scuffs but good condition overall. Hopefully, they're legit.

I want those green flight 89s that just dropped, but I really shouldn't spend the money.

Also more 3s releasing is almost always good news.

Man I told myself I'd stick to one pair of 12's but I can't. Gonna try and cop those French Blues in a few weeks. They look too dope.

Horizon's came in the mail today

easily the most outrageous looking shoe i've ever had from a color perspective.

nike was on one when they came up w/ that multi color print/weave thing.

master 12s look good too but the box is like 2x the size it needs to be lol.
 
My ultra boosts came today...

and theres a huge scratch right above the "ultra boost" and glue on the cage :( tried to rub out the glue with rubbing alcohol and nothing. contacted support about a return :/

Finishline order came through? Nice.

Got my masters in as well. They look dope. Of course it's supposed to rain here in Californis for like the next 8 days so I won't be rocking them for a bit lol.

Just got my wool grey ultra boosts, I think they look way better in person. Right now I own the all black, wool grey and these that just came out

Now just need to find the SNS collab and a pair of the all whites.
 
Put in a preorder for the all black Dooms. I hope these for ok since I'm kinda going by ppl saying go half size down.

My Bred 4s came in today. Glad they're legit. Flaws are scuffs on the heel tab and midsole paint chipping but both are common and I honestly don't care. Shoes are meant to be worn. And for a cheap price, I can live on missing out on the release later this year. Unless it's Nike Air hahaha.

I went half size down and they're way too small, as in i have to curl my toes while walking around. Unless I got some weird mis-size, even tts seems like it might be a little snug.

Shoot. I think I should be ok. My foot isn't wide or anything. An 8.5 in Jordan 1s are wearable but snug so maybe it'll work out.
 
You should be fine with an 8.5, panda. I wear a 9 in Jordan 1s, Flyknit Racers, Air Max 90/95 and UItra Boosts, but went a half size down on Dooms. If you wanted a bit more room, you can go TTS as well - I went .5 down on my RF and grey 3M PK Dooms and I really like the fit.

Did anyone get the RF x Asic "Sperling"? I can't wait for my pairs to come in. I may trade my 2nd pair for a different colored UB + cash.

Also loving my Nike Dunk SB "Gasparilla's"

Solebox Ultra Boosts, they are out on the 12th at Solebox and then two weeks later everywhere else. They will sell out fast, just like every other collab.

I've been looking for some sneakers to use in the rain lately, as this is a good time to find a decent deal. Been eyeing the black Nike Flyknit Chukka SneakerBoot and Asics Gel Lyte V Gore-tex latigo bay, but for some reason I find the Asics a bit too colorful and feel like it wouldn't go well with my style.

Any other suggestions guys?

Funny i've been looking for something for the rain and snow. I wouldn't use Asics in the rain, I'm not sure if it would go with your style though since Idk what you usually where.
