Gonna try and get the Quai 54 XXXs this weekend. There is NMDs releasing so hopefully it will take some of the attention away.

ZaneRobe joggers came in. Pretty damn comfy. only downside is I was hoping the cuff would be a little tighter. As it is, i'd have to pull it up like 3 inches above my lateral ankle bone to get it to stay off my shoes lol. Are they usually like that? What brands offer slightly tighter elastic cuffs?

edit: back pockets are different than the reviews I've seen on youtube. Mine are velcro secured. Reviews I see says left back pocket closes with button and right is just a flap. Did the update the pants?

Also has anyone tried painting/customizing their laser 1's? Really tempted to try but would also want to know if their's someone out there reliable that can do it.

It's easy. Just make sure you prep well and use tape if you aren't steady handed. 4 thin layers of paint and a layer or two of a finisher. Recommend matte since the paint is a little glossy. Don't ask me to do it because I don't have the time to complete within a timeframe lol.

Oh no, I meant someone out there that does this sort of stuff frequently and as a paid service aha. Thanks for the info! It's tempting to try and turn em into breds.

I asked this because im unsure if im any good with a brush aha

Thinking about copping the metallic navy Jordan 1's, but I might take my chances and see if they drop in price since they seem to be just sitting. Canadian prices are shit.

Also eBay has then for cheap as well.

I have 'em on my wishlist on NDC. I wear a size 7 and it's the only place I can find them in that size, and plus I'm in Canada. I was looking on eBay but I haven't bought anything off there in probably over a year after some messy experiences, and import duties + shipping usually brings them up around CAD retail.

RSL package arrived so since I got a 3-pack, decided to use one of my extras on my NMDs as well.

UltraBoosts with 3M black laces:

Nice. That's how i've been wearing my bred Ubs as well. Definitely better than the stock laces they put on the shoe. Didn't notice any change on how the shoe feels either so I stuck with it.

Yeah, so far they're fine but I'm anxiously awaiting for when the flat laces come back in stock as I do prefer flats over ropes, but that's mostly due to actually running in my running shoes.

Yeah, Adidas stock levels are an absolute joke for their UB and NMD range. At least with most of Nike's Jordan and Air Max range you can actually buy them pretty easily, even if it's expensive.

I love the fact that I have a YouTuber that vlogs trips to mall. Saves me trips lol. Latest video showed that uncaged UBs are sitting (got a love ATL) Not really interested in UBs right now but he's been posting some places with good deals. Like Cyber Monday 1s for 99$. Ugh so tempting.

I finally said fuck it and bought from resale.

And it felt good.

It felt good to leisurely add my size to cart. And for my size to stay in cart. Then to leisurely type in my credit card info. And then click buy. And now they're mine.

I paid extra. big fucking deal. I'm happy.

NO MORE LS FOR ME FAM

Nice! Where did you get them?

I bought a pair of core black uncaged UB from a reseller on Grailed. He asked for $20 over retail. I'm not gonna quibble over that when it means actually getting the shoes when I want rather than putting up with this BS game of rigged raffles and hide and seek with online drops happening at 3AM in my time zone.

was at the local mall and saw the Nova PK black. had it in my hand and ask for my size but the display model was all they had left in my size. then saw that they also have the presto black/white but no size for me =(

any thoughts between these two? I have the Nova PK oreo already but the black look nice. Haven't had a presto yet though.

edit: also had tubular doom in black.....decisions decisions decisions
