Finally got these done. SBB in Black toe color way. Well, it's more of an 2010-2011 infrared/varsity red but it's cool. Still red lol.
 
Anyone here own Sock Darts and can tell me what the sizing is like? They hit iD tomorrow and the black/white and hasta colourways are out on Thursday so gonna cop a pair or two.

Also thinking about trying to cop the Uptempos.

Came out really nice. I've been regretting selling my OLNL pair for a long time now.

They don't make half sizes, so it depends on your normal size. If you're a half size, i'd say go up to the next full one.

Also, got the white/red pair of Uptempos, never had a pair and they look bulky as hell but I am always liked the big Air.

Thank you! I have the OLNL. What's weird is I bought the pack for the New Loves but I probably worn those twice. The Old Loved I wore almost everyday lmao. I slept on the new release since I had the mids but now I wish I didn't because I have a new found love for Highs :/
 
I've been a huge Y-3 fan and now that Adidas released the NMD's, I'm really loving them. So damn comfy. Picked up the navy's 2 weeks back at Foot Locker for list price (120 euro). The grey ones I finally found yesterday and felt pretty shitty paying 40 euro over list (160 euro) but damn are they nice.

I want a pair, but the plastic bits on the side really put me off them. Just ordered the core black ultra boosts though :D
 
congrats!

I had a pair of the reds and a pair of those grey/blue ones. I returned them because there were other shoes out there that I wanted. Kept the Black PKs tho.

Hmmm, I thought they didn't do half sizes too but Offspring mentioned they'd have them. Will go for my Racer size though if possible . Cheers.

Got my Retro Dunks today. Real happy with them, but just placed an order for a half size up 'cause they're just a touch too small.
 
Congrats Earv!

And had to make an unexpected purchase today as my running coach told me that my old running shoes are not appropriate for my feet (I have low arches but do not pronate surprisingly) so had to get something more suited for my feet. I had already tried on a different color way and loved everything about them except for the color (too much red) so picked these instead.

Grats Earv! Beautiful photos.

Pretty much any Dunk highs are tight on me. I can still wear my usual 15, but it's closer than almost any other shoe.

15?! damn son how tall are you? Have you got the BBC?
:lol I'm 6-5, almost 6-6. Which is cool in day to day life, but sucks ass when it comes to shoes. I mean occasionally it seems like 15's are in stock for longer because it's a bigger size, but other times a shoe won't even have a size 15 or it'll be super low stock. It's not rare for me to look for a shoe online only to see it top out at size 13 or 14.

Sucks for buying on the resell market also. This is inexact science to be sure, but when I search "Nike SB" on eBay, there are only 47 results filtering for size 15. Virtually nothing compared to the 2531 hits for size 11, 1846 hits for size 12, 1173 for size 13, etc.

So yeah, just got my first pair ultra boosts in.. I'm in love! But need to ask again, anyone know if I can use a shoe tree to flatten the sole? If it does help flatten it, is there a chance of ruining the prime knit?
cheers

Anyways hows the sizing on unisex sbs for women? I wanna get my girl the waffle sbs, shes size 8 in womens size.

Just wear them. The natural shape of your foot and the weight of your body will press them down slightly when wearing.

Alright.

Whats peoples views on the Ultra Boost X Yeezy customs? Quite a few replicas have been made after the initial rare real customs worn by the Beckhams:

I had to do a double take on those. At first I was like "what hype beast put yzy on some freaking UBs" and then I noticed the sole. Eh, they look ok. I'll buy for retail.
 
Just found some Copper 17s at a Nike Factory. Nice shoe. Only 5$ off retail lol. Still a pass.

Edit: my local malls, at least two of them anyway, don't carry UBs. Am sad.

My least favorite part of the 350s is the sole, it looks ugly and cheap.

Why anyone would throw that on and ruin a UB is beyond me.

Come on mate. Not saying the 350 soles are all that by the ultra boost sales literally look like polystyrene 😂

I'm pissed about the UNDFTD dunks because everywhere I look tops out at size 13. They were sitting on Undefeated's official site, but they didn't even have an option for sizes above 13. Not sure they even made size 15's, so lame.

they were sitting but sold out, trust me, I tried for 13

sucks that you didn't even get a chance for them

I think this is my first true grail now, I need them lol
 
Kinda don't feel so bad about oversleeping the Dunk release by 5 minutes now lol. I mean I do feel bad because they rad asf and now if I ever want them imma have to pay out the ass but at least I know I would have probably struck out so it stings a little less haha.

While at first liking them a lot, I decided not to even bother with the Dunks. I just know I wouldn't wear them much, and seeing as the release was pretty limited, looks like I saved myself some unneeded headaches.
