Sneakers |OT| Hypebeasts We Know About Ya

It was soldout in mins ;_;

Really? Damn. Black and gold confirmed all time greatest color way? I would've went for it but I don't have the funds plus do I really need a basketball shoe that I can't wear without sports attire? Dope color way tho. The LeBron hype is at an all time high.
 
Anybody copped the soldier 10 CE?

I thought it sold out yesterday?

And there isn't any Bron hype on shoes lol. They priced it out of reach until the discounts hit. I can't even remember the last color way that was pursued. Maybe the Lebronarld Palmer XIIs, WTL XIs?

Maybe if they do a championship pack. It would be cool if they dropped the Kyrie and Lebron to celebrate the championship win.
 
Ended up at Finish Line on a whim and they actually had a pair of NMDs (the blue/white cw) though they were a men's 8.5.

Tried them on and to my surprise, they actually fit me (I usually wear a men's 9) so I binge bought them lol.

When i learned they gonna release those its been sold out for hours.. I'll just get the kyrie 2 version later today. What i hate is that they made it nike id wtf. Like why. Ain't nobody gonna change a thing on those.

just so they can charge more and make them to order instead of doing a GR.
 
I thought the 2K promo/achievement was going to turn into an annual thing. Wasn't crazy about the lion patterns on the Bron but the idea was hot.

I wonder if someone would trade a pair of SB for 2K? Lol.

Got my ultra boosts. TIL ultra boosts are basically socks with soles and the laces for them are kind of pointless since the sock basically conforms to your foot. Comfy shoes.

What's the best way to clean the cage on rosche runs? My daughter dropped a ziti with sauce on my all whites today at a BBQ.
 
Are New Balance Made in USA easily bootlegged?

Most of the New Balance shoes are made internationally, but there are the specific ones that are made in just the USA or in England, which is why they're so much more expensive.

Even then, I don't often see people trying to bootleg either the US-made or England-made New Balances. I guess I'm used to paying a premium for domestic-made goods, so I don't really mind the prices.

My Roshe Run just need warm water and soap. Heck I could throw them in the washing machine.

^ a few early Soldiers are dope but not a fan of the new ones
Definitely a few, just don't remember any of them off top. Not sure if it's a Solider model, but the 20-5-5 is one on my wishlist.

I'd like to do the same but they so expensive lol.

SB 8. MV9. Cramp Pack XIs. Red Carpet.

Those are more on the limited side outside of the South Beaches and Red Carpets.

Had a pair of RCs I picked up from SC for like $120, just wish I never sold them. Only LeBrons I got now is the Miami Night 9s.

So I didn't jump on the Lebron wagon. I'm on disability and been saving for a pair. I picked up the LBJ XIII Limited.

Now I know why I got them on sale. They are like tanks for your feet. It's gonna take forever to break in. I don't understand why the put a lion medallion on the laces. It makes them tougher to lace.

On the flip side I received a pair of UA Curry 2.0 as a early birthday gift. Those are really comfortable right out of the box.

I have a question. Does anybody know how rare the Adidas House of Pain low style tennis shoe is? I would post a pic but I'm on mobile and I always mess it up.

Anyone going for the cageless ultra boost? I put my name down for the raffle for 2 colorways but I won't be salty if I don't get a call.

Ultra boost in Canada are a rarity unless you got a hookup. I was on a high for them for quite a bit but kept striking out so my want/need for them diminished.

Do you have any idea why that is?

I feel like the UBs could be huge for adidas if they weren't so supply constrained.

I'm probably going to get a few for resale, and go get normal UBs on July 1st. I just don't get the uncage look.

Diggin' the look of these. How do they feel? Compared to the Ultra Boosts if you have those too. Gonna try to cop the red Uncaged's later this week

They are not as comfortable. Definitely more lifestyle than running shoe.
 
What about the new Griffeys though? I want them. Will they be at my local Foot Locker?

They should have them, see them plenty of times at my local Foot Lockers/Champs Sports.

As for the UBs, the uncaged versions look ugly to me. If they were going to do it as a GR, should've gone the way with the SNS version as at least those still maintain the actual UB silhouette.
 
Yea I'm gonna try for the new ultra boosts. They look hideous when they're not being worn, but look amazing on foot.

I'm expecting an L but I'll try anyways
 
Don't know why but I don't feel like those uncaged boosts are gonna be too hard to get if you really want them.

Unless of course adidas under stocks them like they do everything else.

Definitely gonna try to get the Uncaged's tomorrow. The new teal colorway looks pretty nice too, but idk when exactly they're gonna be released

I'm on vacation in Miami. I'm going to try for the black/white cage less.

Not take anything away from Yeezy but the Adidas brand seems to be fashion forward at the moment compared to Nike. Y3, Ultraboost, NMDs, Tubular, etc.

I tried on the White NMDs the other day. Nice summer shoe but they weren't comfortable like the UBs lol.

UBs are pretty comfortable. I was interested in the shoe from the get go since they coined it as the most awesome running shoe. The OG color way is great. Now the shoe did get traction when a certain rapper rocked the white/white.

Yeah, UB really are super comfortable. That ain't a myth.

It's a good daily shoe since I can wear sneakers at work. Simple colorways and comfortable.
