Struck out on the Kobe today. Took the L on the Wings.
Tempted to make HTM Air Max, Air Max 0 and Metcon iDs.
Also seriously disappointed in the Jordan XXX. What wasted potential. They could've at least given us the Russell Westbrook ASG version. But looks like we're moving to the XXX1, smh.

So I'm looking at the Wings 12s and I actually hate the gold accents on the shoe. Not the lace things but the underlying gold on the shoe. I think I'll grab a pair of Playoffs and try to convert the lace holders to gold.

The more I see the SNS Ultra Boosts, the more I regret not making an effort to try and cop. Prob the best UB I reckon, they look awesome on feet. Great pick up!

Walked into work and noticed that my Air Max Zeros came in with a stain on the tongue.

On another note, I had to take pics of my UNDFTD dunks

They've never released them in Europe so I have little hope.
Those are one of the best dunks around imo. Great pickup. Also, your photos are top notch man.Cheer up :[ Good news is that ADC is supposed to restock them this week on their site so keep a look out.

Thanks guys! I want to start taking more photos in center city philadelphia to get that city life in the background. The dunks have not been released in the states as I know of, I bought these from Oki Ni.

It was. Got the email on the dot at 8:00 but all I got was a blank page for 45 mins.

End drop for the Yeezys was a shit show smh.
Emails did NOT go out at the same time, me and my friend got ours at like 7:03 then 7:05 for the PBs.
Then hanging on that "Please Wait" page for 30+ minutes cuz End decided to wait an hour to announce the sell out.
I've only seen one guy who supposedly copped online and his time stamp was for either 6:58 or 7:58 which is kinda fishy since it means either the shoes dropped early or the guy got reaaaaaal lucky waiting in the queue.
Wasn't expecting much I guess, End was using the Yeezys to bolster attention the site and it worked haha. Could have used that sleep
I really wish more sites used lottos. I feel like they are the most fair thing possible even accounting for people using duplicate emails and whatnot.

I think END's "launch" platform to combat bots is just a farce.
shocked they haven't dropped a "seriously not the yeezy boost 350. we promise" roshe run colorway.

Nah, a lot of people at my office tried. No one got a pair.
Anyone going to get NMD's tomorrow.

Hopefully no one attempts to purchase the HS collab ultraboosts. They're already sold out before the countdown finishes haha. Got backdoored hard.

Imma try for the blue primeknits NMD's. Probably won't get a pair due to bots.

There is a post on reddit that the launch site had been compromised since day 1. Bots have already won. Lol.

Yeah End website crashed and when it worked all sold out.

Legend has it that if you wait long enough on the end.launches Queue screen that you'll be first in line for the next release.

Grey Wools and Silvers constantly restock, follow @adidasalerts on Twitter since they're usually on top of those restocks.

Lord help me, I'm considering buying some rep yeezys lol
The Driver

If they where 99% accurate I would do it. I don't see Adidas or Kanye ever letting Yeezys devalue and mass producing them.
panthapanda

They're pretty damn good. Pattern is on point, stitching looks good. They just came out with a 7th batch of high quality reps and the 6th batch looked good already. No reviews on the 7th batch yet but I'm considering it. They're some expensive reps tho lol. 169+25 for shipping unless order is over 300$. I might just wait a while to order over that amount instead of just for one shoe. Oxford tans are already indistinguishable from Authentics so I might just get those too.
Not having an affordable way to get the Turtle Doves is killing me inside. Best colorway imo.
I know a guy who did this, and I've seen them in person. Impossible to tell they're not legit unless you really, really know your shit. With how stupid the Yeezy releases have been, I don't blame anyone for going this route.
It's pretty much impossible to tell the difference from what I've seen.
This fucked up demand >>>>>>>>> supply sneaker game has given birth to the crazy perfect rep manufacturers.
Good luck! If you do decide to pull the trigger, post some pics

Anyone get the Nike BTTYS pack? Been interested in the quality

So are ultra boosts some of the comfiest trainers ever? I wasn't a fan at first but I'm starting to like them... I just don't get why supply is so low of them? Price is bit high too...
Also, need a clarification. The ultra boosts kind of curve upwards they? Some pictures they look fine, but i've been watching videos on youtube, such as this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiG-5OP2s3I
really shows how much they curve upwards. Not a fan of that at all :/
Reminds me of Indian male wedding shoes:
