I lost out on the SNRKS app. I thought for sure I got it and then received a message saying they sold out. Went to the undefeated site, I was able to put sz 13 into the cart but couldn't checkout due to it being sold out but the site wasn't updated yet.
fails all around.

These came in today! I bit the resell bullet but whatever. Not the best pic but I'm way too excited to care.
Damn, forgot Tubular does not run big and went half a size smaller on the Novas, which now fit slightly too tight to be comfortable.
That two day shipping from End is nice though.
EDIT: actually, not my fault. Went for a UK 10 which somehow translates to a US 10.5 instead of 11. Why can't these companies just get on a universal sizing model...

Ohhh love that this thread exists . Just copped some jordan V retro low alternates.
On a side note, rant time :
Normally I dont care about resellers, but real talk , the peolple who go to the nike outlets and buy up all the toddler J's can die in a fire . Trying to get my son some new shoes and some cheesin ass dude bought up every damn 9c in the store . Like bags upon bags of shoe boxes .

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.
Nike LunarEpic flyknits
How do the ankle things feel? Do you still wear socks with them? Curious.
I returned my Lunar 3 Flyknits in favor of Flyknit Racers. I really fell in love for how they feel when I wear them both for working out and just casually. I decided to buy an extra pair and went to the Nike store at The Grove. They didn't have any Racers at all and the salesman working the floor told me that the Racers are being phased out for something new coming later this year. So I bought two extra pairs off of the web in case he is right.
And speaking of the Nike store, what a disappointment that place was. It's billed as THE Nike flagship store so I expected the place to be just full of cool stuff. It's a huge space that takes up 3 floors and yet the selection was so sparse. It was lame, to be honest.

What y'all think about the NMD leak,

TBH I have a pair of Onyxs and I still would like a PK and maybe the city sock if I could cop at retail but I'm kinda over them. The new silohuette is nicer than the OGs to me but idk if it's substantial enough to get another pair. Gonna need more detailed pics.
Edit* Yo, wtf didn't sneakernews say we where getting a Yeezy drop this month, liars lol.

You still need to wear socks as the spot where the ankle cuff and the heel meets can rub the skin raw and be uncomfortable for some (my Magistas do this sadly even after sizing up) but when I tried the LunarEpics, the cuff really does kinda "vanish" as you don't even feel them while running.
Regarding Niketown, they do change up the floor plan in accordance to special events that coincide with something, such as the Nike Women's Half and during Super Bowl 50, which can be both kinda cool and a pain in the ass when you're browsing for stuff. Personally, I found both the Nike stores in London and Paris to be more fun really. Niketown in New York was neat but both overwhelming and underwhelming - lots to look at but the selection was on par with what I see in San Francisco on the regular.

Hey ya'll, I've been thinking about copping a pair of these for the increasingly warm spring weather around here. What do you think?
best color way, looks like nike cortez, instant-cop

Got my Black/White Sock Darts in and maaaaan that upper is crazy thin. Probably makes it the perfect summer shoe though.

Had the intentions to buy Wool Grey UBs today. Went to the mall and came across Navy UBs instead...
Edit: Just saw fully exposed "Wings" 12s on Reddit. Eh, they're kinda fugly IMO. Rather have the Playoffs.

The ones that just came out? They're going for about 240 on GOAT right now. Who knows when the price will stabilize.
Speaking of Dunks. I should've gotten the Tiffany dunks when they were around 250$. One of my most wanted shoes. I love and hate them only because of the freaking name but the shoes are so beautiful. Ugh, why do girls have to be evil lol.

Which size?

Anybody looking for Jordan 11s 72-10s? Nike CA has a 12.5, 13, and 14 up. I think they ship to US now too...I might be wrong.
Edit: They don't. Stupid phrasing confused me.

From the age, many years ago (2008?) when Balenciaga made something other than arenas:
They've been boxed away for quite some time, glad to see they still work as intended. They should really reintroduce this design, it was my favorite Balenciaga sneaker; funky and a little retro futuristic.

How the heck do they still glow in the dark if they've been boxed for years. Or did you recharge them lol.

I've won them occasionally over the years... They 'power up' pretty quickly under regular ol lights, or if you have a uv pen, you can write messages in them lol. Under black lights at clubs and such they are intensely bright, so much so much so I stopped wearing them out, not wanting 100 people a night asking me about them.

Where do you guys sell your sneakers? Selling a few pairs and don't really want to deal with the 10% cut on eBay anymore. Considering Klekt but unsure.
Goat.
9.5% fee compared to the 13% from ebay + paypal. Also, your shipping is already covered. You end up getting quite a bit back.

I pretty much sell everything on local Facebook sneaker groups these days. Easiest way I've found to move items, and you don't have to pay any fees. Downside is having to deal with time wasters and flakers from time to time.

Pass as well. Also heard quality isn't the best.

So speaking of GOAT. It looks like it might be the easiest and best way for me to get a pair of creams. Any of you guys have experience buying anything rather than selling?
FallingEdge

Just ordered static primeknit tubular nova and the all black tubular dooms. Hopefully the sizing is right.

I bought my creams from them. Ordered on Friday morning like 2am ish. Seller confirmed and was able to ship out Saturday. It got to GOAT on Monday. And then I got the shoes on Thursday. Pretty painless.
Did you go your regular size or go down?

pk tubular nova I went TTS (13)
black tubular dooms I went size down because that is all they had haha

Buying shoes from the US means: shipping, taxes, duties.
Found sole nice Filling Pieces at 145US with a coupon, goes up to like 250CAD when you add it all up.
Only way to cut down costs is if the goods are made in USA, due to NAFTA agreement.

Or if you get lucky and whoever you buy from marks the price down. I'm looking at $290 plus import tax and potentially a handling fee for creams. They're the only sneaker I really want atm though so I'm gonna do it.
My buddy rocked some aj 1s today
It was pure white with only the toe box being black. Its been driving me nuts since this is the first time i saw this colorway and it looked dope. Oddly enough i didnt ask him about it.
edit: nvm found it. should have known when i saw the 11's 23 at the back lmao
