The "just do its" from last year.
Canada's Ultra Boost stock went to your Olympic athletes.
That's what made me post ;P

Yep.
Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit. I have a handful of these. I keep them laced and it has a sock-like liner so it's even easier to slip on than Ultra Boosts.
yummmm.... i need a pair of these.

I ordered a pair of these New Balance M730V3
omg. i had no clue community gaf would be such a great curator. these are dope as hell.

Black. They are the only pair other than the sea blue that I actually like.
These ones?
Those are dope. I kinda like this color also, the color of the sock liner thing meshes well with the rest of the upper

Are uncaged boosts good for running/working out? Im using some flyknit 4.0's rn

Does anyone have Nike Sockdarts? What are they like?
What type of workout? Cross training would be fine but if you're doing weight lifting you want stability, and boosts might be too cushiony for that.

Friend just copped the supreme 5's trading his Saint Laurent breds and 2 supreme tees.
These are nicer in person! The quality isn't as good as the metallics but these are still heat.

Feel like your friend overcompensated. YSLs don't lose value in resell (that much anyway). Could've just did a straight up swap and left the tees out. But what do I know, it ain't my money.

We went to a consignment shop and they had em for $500, he did a straight up trade with the YSL's and some supreme tee's from F/W 2015. Not a bad deal seeing as the YSL's were used and he got em previously for $300.

Ahh, makes sense. That consignment shop tax lol. Not bad I guess.
wow, they still got a FSR of the yin/yangs. I have hope after all.

I hate consignment shops. They're the game stops of sneakers. I did business with Sole Supremacy to whittle down some of my retro Jordan's. It was an exercise in frustration.
Those Lunarepics look good. I want to buy a pair but that Sole was used last year in the lunar 3s and I don't think my flat footed bad knee having self would do good with them.
I wish I could've hoarded some Hoka One Clifton Ones.

Yep.These ones?
Anybody in here own any tees from Reigning Champ? Trying to get an idea on how they fit, can't really find much online.
Reigning Champ has measurements for all their pieces on their website. That said, their tees are fairly standard and fitted
wolfwolfwolf
Member
Yeah I've seen the measurements. Just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with the fit of them here, so I had a better idea of how far to size up for a looser fit.
If it's a looser fit you want then I would definitely size up at least a size. I think my favourite tee from them is the one they did in collaboration with ASICS. It's got the extended back that every tee has nowadays but it has more length to it than their standard tees
wolfwolfwolf
Member
Cheers, might just have to chance it on sizing, can always return them. I prefer the raglan tee to their standard ones but they're £55 per tee...

Doesn't Supreme use reigning champ for their tees? Should have similar for if you own some more recent tees.
wolfwolfwolf
Member
I don't own anything from Supreme, have no interest in them.
Also Reigning Champ stuff isn't exactly easily available here in the UK, which is why I ask.

Anyone excited for the space jam 11's? Idk what it is, but something looks off on the 2016 pair.

That 45 just isn't aesthetically pleasing imo lol

SNKRs have been dope with the restocks lately. Only bad thing is that the notifications are late some times.
FallingEdge

Ever since upgrading the SNKRS app, I haven't gotten any notifications about restocks.

They only stay up until the stock is gone. might be possible to find it on Nike.com tho

Yeah, I am going to have to check my settings to make sure I have notifications turned on. I learned about the restock on twitter.

I'll try to steal some prototypes for y'all lol.
Please send me some Zaxby's and an orange frost from the Varsity along with the shoes.

Bummer as I find the LunarEpics to be probably the most comfortable running shoe I've ever owned, second only to the Lunar 1s. I've not had any issue with the soles, though I hate that tiny rocks/pebbles can get stuck in the cushioning sipes. Also, I can feel the pros/cons between the low cut version and the high collar version but I'll just chalk it up to preference (I actually like my high collar ones more for stability).
That said, have you looked into the LunarGlide 8s? They have the same front sipes as the LunarEpics, but the heel portion is solid.
Regarding Hokas, my coach said that they basically feel like tanks for your feet when running and they offer too much cushioning. I have low arches myself but have a normal stride so a shoe like the Hoka Ones are overkill for my feet.

to be fair the SL's were used and the tee's weren't exactly, "heat", but the quality on the supremes didn't seem all that great to warrant the actual price tag lol
here's the pair he got rid off
where do you live?
New Zealand.
Well I'm gonna be no use then. Though I figure it would be cheaper to order from sites based outta Australia? You might still get hit with the duties and charges but prices should be more comparable no?
I'm Canadian and only order from U.S. sites when I have to (or if they're cheap enough, or our dollar is closer to par (RIP)).
I know there's http://www.theiconic.com.au/ and https://www.sneakerboy.com/. Sneakerboy is more luxury sneakers but they stock Adidas and Nike and sometimes the more less expensive styles.
