Thanks. I've been using Grailed to look for shoes but the risk of fakes put me off. I'll check out FC.

Nice one! Must say, those UB 1.0 white are so much better than the 2.0 triple whites.
That's what I like about FC. They're completely trustworthy, no need to stress about fakes.
I visited their store in NYC a couple years ago... literally like walking into sneaker heaven. So cool.
Agreed! Though I'd probably cop the triple whites for retail as well if they ever became commonly available

Nice.
I got those for $104 shipped last week - put them on feet today. Clean as fuck...definitely a sleeper.
I'm just lying in the cut now until Metallic Vs release in 10 days.
Friday morning at multiple retailers including adidas.com and finish line, etc.

Hey GAF fam. If you need anything and don't want to pay flight club prices when it comes to adidas, I'll charge little over retail and I won't be too crazy on shipping.
I just notice ya'll tend to take L's, and I sell a lot with consignment shops around here. Willing to cut the middle man to help people out here. And I don't use bots, I just have 1gbps internet. I usually just cop two pairs of the shoes I like, and if they don't sell I stock em when the first one is destroyed.
Obviously no fakes, because I wouldn't risk an account ban or a bad rep here.

Can't wait for the second round of uncaged UBs.
I want all three pairs. Hopefully, it's not hard to grab them.

Got my uncageds. They're good. They're as comfortable as my flyknit racers. The UB soles are thicker so I don't get the same ground feel but there's more cushioning. I use my racers for actual running but these UB are strictly casual, though I think they'd probably do well as trainers.
I'd order a second pair right now if they were easy to find.
My socks stick out a little bit. I've got some lower cut no shows but they aren't as comfortable for all day wear.
Edit - just found solar red uncaged at a retailer. Copped.

I'm sorry. I like FK Racers but UB are way more comfortable than any Nike shoe right now.
I like the FK Air Max but it sacrifices weight due to the sole and thicker FK weave.
Adidas really is killing it right now. The D Rose and Crazylights are regarded well as performance shoes to play basketball.
The UB are a good runner (besides the sole wearing out).
As lifestyle shoes, they're killing it.
Having said that, Nike is still my overlord.

Nike doesn't have anything close to comfort of a Boost (let alone an Ultra Boost) sole right now.
Lunarlon, Air Max, Free, none of them.
These look dead on like Puma Blaze of Glorys.Waiting for these to drop.

Agassi's are so sick. The hot lava challenge 2 is still a top 3 shoe for me.
Still a work in progress. Made some mistakes along the way but acetone can fix that, also waiting for some white paint to arrive to fix some splashes on the midsole. Tried doing the wings logo earlier today and it is by far the hardest thing to do in the process.
I have the solar red pair but I want the grey pair as well

My damn managaer made me miss out on these today. Still fuming.
I love customizing kicks. What are you going to paint on them. Protip- make a mockup in Photoshop or something first.

I find my UBs more comfortable than my FK Racers but oddly enough, they're not as comfortable as my FK LunarEpics.
I run just fine in my UBs but they just don't offer the cushioning that I prefer from my LunarEpics. Actually, the cushioning of the UBs when running remind me of my FK Lunar 1s - which started out super comfortable but got "mushy" in terms of conforming to my foot and offering no cushion or bounce due to the foam.
That said, UBs are great for logging in miles for Pokemon Go so far.

Sorry for the shitty photo, these still need ALOT of work done. Lots of nooks and crannies need to be filled and I need to cover/clean the midsole but im making progress. Im dreading the wings part as that will be tough to do with what I have on hand right now so I'll postpone that for now. Doing the soles was pretty easy however.

I don't mind the laser
I only decided to do this cause I've had these for the longest time and only worn em a couple of times.But yes it needs some coating in spots

Dying soles is the dumbest and messiest process ever.
I should put up a pic of my laser frags.
that's sick man, before blowing the picture up they look legit lol
keep working at it and i'm sure they'll turn out real nice. i wouldn't mind trying that myself... save some money and put my grade 3 coloring skills to work...

Don't bred ones come out in like a month ? Should have painted a royal one IMO . Looks decent though , with a enough care they should look pretty good when all is said and done .

already have something similar in the sport blue ajko's
but yeah breds come out in september, I'll probably try to a cop a pair.LeroyPantwether

I low key love KO's. We are in the minority though I think.
looking forward to trying to cop breds later this year
sneak peak:
Oh yes. Easily my most anticipated release. I put in for some overtime this month so I could just buy them from a reseller guilt free when they drop. Sure, I'll put in for a few raffles, but I'm not holding my breath.

All this jogger talk got me coppin so scoped a pair of Vince flight pants on sale at Amazon. Pretty nice; fabric is light but sturdy, seams are all finished and the hardware is solid. Then again Vince never really disappoints. $100 shipped.

Looks like I can't get the 5s on release day. Miscalculated my budget lol. Unless I can cop on jimmy Jazz but that site is trash.

Man can't wait for the Nike Chupka's! Definitely right up my alley.
Speaking of retro's, Nike just dropped perhaps their best retro in a decade and thanks to everyone going batshit insane over everything Boost releasing at the same time, it was an easy cop.
Nike Zoom Spiridon

Man screw UPS. Ordered some things that were supposed to be delivered yesterday. No knock, no doorbell. I hear the truck drive away. I go outside and there's another package sitting on the steps but not mine (signature confirmation for mine). I call CS and ask for hold. Said I could pick up later that evening. Since I couldn't make it because of work, I asked if I could pick up today. They said yes. I go and the package is still sitting in the freaking truck because apparently the guy came in after the pick up place closed. I understand how store hours work but you don't tell me I can pick it up yesterday evening or today and I come and it's not even there. At least give me a call. Thank goodness I live only 10 mins or so away but that's just super frustrating. I even payed for express shipping. My Common Projects are in that package. Sigh.
