Got the Air Max LD-Zero H in this morning;



Not sure if I'm gonna keep them, they look a bit bulky on foot and they aren't as premium as I expected considering the extremely high price.

If anybody is looking to pick them up this week I highly recommend going TTS or maybe even half down depending on your foot. These things fit wide (and that's coming from someone with a wide foot).

What size?
 
Wore these over the weekend. They slept on 'em.

Those Air Maxes are expensive because they are HTM, only reason. Nike likes to charge more when they think they can get away with it.

Generally Air Maxes are cheaper than sneakers like Racers or Boosts, I see them more like the Huaraches, they are a sneaker for everyone, general release, one that pops up in every sneaker store whether it be retail or boutique.

I was in Las Vegas the weekend the black/white AJ1 OG highs came out, went to the Niketown at Caesar's early in the morning to try my luck in line.

No one there slept...already ran out of my size by the time I got to the counter, only just a few minutes after they opened. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
Shadow 1s release was awesome. Thank you based god for releasing Toro 4s at the same time. No one even knew the shoes that would resell for 200$ more than the Toro 4s came out that day.

i want to cop the kobe bruce lee 11s but im wary of the sole degrading if i wear them casually

i would still ball in them but i already have shoes that i ball in
 
Just ordered the Ubiq x Asics GLV "Hazard" for $52 off KicksUSA, they've got a sale going on right now for an additional 25% off at checkout. Probably going to throw some black rope laces on them to have better contrast.

Oooooh, these are nice. Hmm, what is a reasonable number of pairs of highlighter yellow shoes to own? More than one pair ok?

highly upset, I was one of the first few to order the yellow NMDs and just received a cancellation email saying they oversold. Well when I ordered literally 30 sec after the link came up I looked to see if I can order again and there were still a ton of sizes up so how?

Guess I might as well buy some more UBs ;/
 
Those are pretty dope. I've always wanted at least one pair of Pumas. Imma see how much those are going for. I recently found out that some Asics are going for 800+. Shocking to me.
 
These are so sexy. This was before I got into sneakers too.

Yep, they're damn nice. The "AFEW" part on the heel is perfect, because they literally only made a few pairs of the shoe.

Also, panda, if you plan on getting any of the Puma Blaze of Glory - just know that they're mad comfy and fit TTS.

Turbo, did you go TTS or .5 down on the PK NMD? How do they fit?

I haven't tried them on yet lol just took them out of the box and snapped a pic. I did get the core blacks TTS and I feel like I should have went .5 up actually. Not sure if it's much different with the whites.

there's gonna be salt all over the roads and sidewalks for weeks ; _ ;

I somewhat feel ya on that, except in Seattle it rains every damn day so I can't wear my nice kicks.
 
Welp... got a major trade going down next week, I hope it goes through but it's looking likely at the moment.

My Red Carpet Lebron VIIs + Jordan 11 Concords (2011) for:

I wish I could do trades in ATL but I'll probably get robbed or shot lol. At least the could try to, but I wouldn't recommend it.
 
ever try a police station meetup?

I'm down for that type of stuff. Haven't checked if ATL has designated stations for that but from what I've seen on FB groups and such, barely any transactions go down well. Ignorance is a plague in the streets lol. I just won't bother with it.
