Yea, will wait a couple months and see how it goes before I move away from one of the older sellers.

So upon further inspection, I actually like David's pattern more. Yeah Helen's have "eyes" but that's an easy fix. Also, her pull tabs are really sloppy. The back is just messed up period. But she does have the proper dots in the square thing. David's have like 10-12 but I think I can fix that too.
I would say, for the price, not worth it. Quality will definitely take a hit with more orders and if it's already sloppy with the small sample size she had at first then yeah. And she's probably lying anyway, apparently someone ordered a pair and already got theirs so she definitely has them already produced.
And let's be real, there's no need for 1:1 reps because who's going to call you out unless you're trying to sell as retail. I seen people walk around with red yeezys and they looked pretty cool lol. I feel like I overpaid for reps but it is what it is with the Yeezy game. I might try the Ali express ones for the OTs.

Dudes you don't have to stoop to fakes there are more shoes than yeezys out there

Nah it's not like that. I have a bunch of other shoes. I actually really like the Yeezys 350s but there's no way I pay for resell. I'll drop x amount for designer shoes just fine but I can't justify 1k for a shoe that's retails for 200$. Especially when it's a leisure, comfort shoe.

Yeah they're pretty comfy. Only problem is that I heard that they kinda wear out on you. Like a flat tire kinda thing. Haven't experienced it yet tho.

So I was browsing craigslist to see if I could maybe find some yeezys for sale or trades. Saw some TDs in my size for 650 but only had 3 pictures. They looked decent. Emailed and guy responded he already sold but he had a 9.5 in TDs. I don't fit a 9.5 since I heard Yeezys run big but then it hits me. They don't make retail TDs in half sizes lol.
Seriously fuck scammers

Copped the White v2 UB and the MC 3.0 FK Racers today. First sneaker purchase in a long time. Think Flu games are my next. I'm proud of myself. Been more selective on Jordan's, Nike signatures, etc. Sadly, limited releases are still a PITA.
So are Addi Tubulars and NMD the new "thing?"

Got my MC Racers off SNKRS this morning. Was worried but seems these are kinda sitting. Gonna check Niketown to see if they have them on hand.
Anyone else having trouble accessing their order off Nike? I can't seem to check my order despite getting a confirmation email.

I think Addidas period is the new thing. UBs are super popular. Simple releases getting botted like crazy. I feel like it's only the Primeknit releases that get all the hype. Most mesh NMDs are still sitting. Tubular are dope.

Is everyone staying away from the city pack 10s today? I am having a hard time resisting the Chicagos. Figure i might as well cop since I am for sure gonna take an L on the flu game 12s later this month. decisions decisions...
its general release
I like the Chicagos, but I already grabbed the NYC 10's and spent $300 on the Paris 10's, so I think I'm set.
LeroyPantwether
Member
Haha, I love the NYC's, but being from Chicago, I can't even do it. Ended up impulse buying dunk from above 4s and a pair of purple huaraches
yeeeeee

asneakerlife is having a flu game giveaway contest if anyone wants to enter . just gotta follow him on social media and post a video doing running man challenge . One man and one women will be selected as winners . seems like pretty decent chances since he doesnt have an absurd amount of subs on youtube , trying to get my girl to do it , but she hates the 12s

Haha I saw that but don't use social media any more. There's also retrosnickers, sneakerheadinthebay, and someone else. All they're doing is asking for subs and follow someone on Instagram. Each channel is giving a pair away.

Two more Primeknit NMDs on the way.
First up is the 'Vintage White' which releases on May 28th.
Then the 'Vapor Grey' which doesn't have a release date yet.
The grey almost looks dark beige/brown to me.

speaking of NMDs, I want to trade my NMD PK Black Monochrome for some grey or cream UBs. I should hit up reddit or some shit.

What size?

Just got my fuyeezys in and I must say I'm pretty satisfied with them. I can't really say how a regular person would say they're fake unless they had a retail pair in hand. They're pretty comfortable too. I went true to size and they're a good fit. Would probably .5 size down if I wanted a more snug fit but I'm damn satisfied with them.
Now, if I ever do decide to order again. I would probably wait. My friend has a friend that sold him a pair of PBs for 300$ and they look like the real deal. Seller also has a pair of OTs for 450$. Only problem is that it's .5 bigger than I need. I'll see. I spent too much this month already. Lol

This is probably a super dumb question but...do people wear socks with shoes like this? Where the top of the shoe is basically a sock?
You can wear socks if you want, but you don't have to. But if you don't wear socks, they'll probably start to stink pretty fast after multiple occasions.
I personally just wear no-show socks.
Yeah, that makes sense. Going sockless sucks.

Bummer. They're next on my to get list. Sell them through GOAT and then buy some UB's off there.
For PK NMDs do people go half down from their UB size?

Ahhhhhh restock on snkrs. Hate 7, white metallic 5s, and maroon 6s.
LeroyPantwether
Member
yea nothing on that restock was a must buy for me. i want another cement 4 restock ...
Almost pulled the trigger on the metallic 5's. Really like those.

Hare 7s for me. So happy.

Same for me but they don't resell for that much and I see some going for cheaper used. I think I can wait a bit longer.
Glad some people got in on it tho.
Just too much heat I'm trying to get this summer. Including a pair of 5's http://sneakerbardetroit.com/nike-air-jordan-5-og-black-metallic-silver-2016/
panthapanda

Yeah those are a must for me. I hope they're as easy as the maroon 6s and 4s were but I don't think they're any other releases competing with it. 4s had the 12s and 6s had the December releases.
i swear all koreans are low key hypebeasts
every single one i see has either brand name stuff or some rare ass sneaker that resell for ridiculous prices, i know its the culture but damn. Some of them doesnt even have expensive shit but the way they coordinate their outfits are fuego.

yeah when I was in school that's how it was
I'm in Toronto and all the asian kids had fresh ass Jordans the week after they dropped. like how the fuck you get your hands on the slam dunk 6s bruh
slam dunk 6s are straight fire, thats the only shoes i wouldnt ever wear since im a huge slam dunk fan.

Come across tons of this in Seattle. There are numerous one bedroom apartments in our building that have like 9 or 10 kids living in them, but they're always going out wearing thousands of dollars on the outfits (not to mention the luxury sports cars they're often driving). Always feels simultaneously confusing and funny, but I'm certainly envious of some of the kicks I see, heh

Had to cop the michigans ever since I saw the sb remake way back when. Love all the colorways hopefully they go to outlet.
