Anyone pick up/try the Nike Lunarepic Flyknits? Need a new pair of running shoes pretty badly, and I usually put at least 25+ miles a week on my kicks.

Got mine and love them. They're so light and the cushioning is amazing. They're the best if you have at least an arch (low, regular or high) and a normal stride.

Here's what my pair look like:

Hot damn, I love how fresh they look. Probably need to swing by a Nike store to try them out personally. They definitely look the part, just a little concerned with longevity. My Free 4.0s held up pretty well though...

Thanks and I personally tried mine on at a running store, at which where my running coach works at and suggested I get them. I did have to go to Niketown to get that color way as the running store didn't have the color I wanted. Wear and tear should be on par with the other Nikes I feel. Personally, I'm looking forward to when the non-cuff version drops so that I can get another pair.

That can't be true. Either that's a small traffic FTL or there's some backdoor action going on.

It's a small footlocker but I can't believe they are limited only to one pair for each size. I think employees got first dibs. I might try NDC but I think I'll just get frustrated.

Tried to buy the NMDs today (Primeknit) but they were sold out in minutes! How do you know what time adidas shoes release? At least with Nike they have the Launch calendar and they give you a specific time. Any tips?

My tip is not to bother. They aren't worth the effort.

Seems fairly clear adidas are under stocking the NMDs. They were gone within 30 seconds on ADC. Apparently resellers were camped outside stores here in the UK as well.

Dude I just tried all morning hooping from one site to another. So frustating.

I usually were chucks or boots. The sneaker head life is foreign to me.

Am I out of luck trying to find a pair of 999 Concepts/NBs for 150? Always loved those shoes.

If so.

Out at sneaker head life lol,

Nothing you can do but wait until the server decides to respond.

Shiiiiit. I've always liked the collabs 997-999 with J Crew and Concepts but those prices are steep lol.

Might have to talk to my buddy who knows this shit to see if he can help me find a deal.

Kennedy or Seal? The first is in the $800 range, but the latter you might find a deal around $250.

Missed out on a community run at the park, and a car show just to have a chance of getting a hold of breds. I ended up with nothing.. Fuck you, Mike.

not even that mad. I knew i f'd up when i missed the raffle on my nearby footlocker.
 
:( I don't get it. Don't they want to make money?

Lower the supply, promote the fact they're limited and increase the demand that they'll sell out. Adidas is on a roll with the UB, NMDs, Yeezy, etc. They have a nice market and the opinion on their products is definitely shipping. I wonder what they're angle is? Seems like Nike has the volume and sales. UA seems to be the low cost alternative volume leader to Nike.

But it's definitely a good time to be a sneaker head. There's something for everyone.

And I agree with the SNKRS address shenanigans. Can't believe we still haven't this right yet lol.

I feel like this is the start of a gross addiction. Took me nigh on 15 minutes to actually get my foot in by once it was I could feel something change forever.

Picked up my first pair of Jordans. Was an intense 15 minute battle to insert my smelly feet into these bad boys.

Aren't those women's Jordans? The view angle makes them look high.

edit: Ah no ok I saw the link, I have a pair of these:

Also have a second pair in 9.5US if anyone wants them, never worn, still in their original box.

To quote Jay-Z, "Hov did that so hopefully you wouldn't..."

As someone who @ one time had more than 450 pairs of shoes (and still has way too many). Thread carefully. It can be very addictive and an expensive hobby.
