What do I have to do to try to get my hands on these: http://www.nike.com/us/en_us/launch/c/2016-03/air-jordan-12-retro-french-blue
Sign into https://www.nike.com/snkrs/ and then there will be a link to buy them on SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 2016 - 12:00 PM EDT?

Yup. And download the app to improve your chances. More devices the better lol. And have multiple tabs up. Also try other sites like Finishline and footlocker. Those are a bit harder but it doesn't hurt. Prepare for possible hours of frustration but keep trying until they say sold out.

Not a fan of the way Adidas does multicolour, it looks really tacky.

I only want two more Ultra Boost colourways, a grey pair and the creams. Can't find the creams anywhere in my size though, and even if I did the price I'd have to pay would likely be ridiculous. Gonna try and get those HS ones though to fill my grey void.

Sorry to break up the Adidas chat but these came in today along with my 24mm lens. Can't wait to break them both in.

Hender schemes are next. Even tho people said they're super uncomfortable.

Does anyone want to buy a www.sneakerdistrict.nl gift card from me? I bought a €200 gift card for my girlfriend, because she wanted some shoes from there. Her size wasn't available anymore though... I bought them somewhere else, but now I'm left with this gift card.

Anyone want to buy it for €150?

What do people here think about Undercover sneakers? I really like that fat sole and silhouette, but man those prices.

Copped the French blue 12's on SNKRS.

These Jordan releases are crazy, though. Probably gonna be more selective in the future because waking up and trying to get almost any pair online is a real headache (and I ain't camping out).

Finally won something in the SNKRS draw, got a pair of Wings. Passing on the blues, since I'm not a big fan of the colorway.

Congrats. I tried for fun and didn't get them. Not like I can pay for them anyway lol.

Did Nike change the way their process works? I didn't get an air ball. Instead, I got a notice saying I'm in line and they'll notify me. I can't try to get them again, it just says pending. Albeit I tried 12 mins late but it's interesting to see.

Oh wow, grats man. I entered the draw, but sadly struck out. Love the way they look, with the print underneath and shit.

Pretty sure there's only like 12,000 pairs. That's a huge win breh.

Yeah, seems like they put everyone in line now. I had that for a minute or two before the "Got 'Em" page.

Interesting. Just got the notice that I didn't get them but I like it. It takes away from constantly trying to add your size and crap but it makes the wait feel like forever if it were to be a shoe I really wanted.

Yeah, pretty excited about this. Playoffs are also my favorite colorway so that definitely sweetens the prize. After taking all the raffle L, it's nice to finally catch a win.

is it a canada thing but my french blues dont have the retro card in em

Nah, these don't come with one in general it seems. Lots of people who got a pair on Nike Talk confirming it.

Speaking of, saw my a few hours ago after he picked up a pair. They're beautiful. And the leather is really nice. Softer than my Master 12's for sure.

Yeah, the pair I saw in person felt really nice.

This is a great year for 12's. One of my favourite Jordan models.

NMD owners - how do they compare in comfort to UB's? I bought some rocket boosts before I owned Ultras for like $20 on sale a while back and the difference between those two in terms of comfort are like night and day.

UB is still king, but NMD is not bad. Much better than Rocket Boost.

I would say in terms of comfort:

1. Ultra Boost
2. Pure Boost
3. NMD

If anybody here is looking to get the Y3 Pure Boosts, LN-CC have them in and give 10% off first orders. Makes a reasonable dent when the shoe costs a lot.
