I'm not in the UK, but thanks for the solid advice. So do they drop on sites like Champs, Footlocker, etc, or just specific sites?

You really have to stay on top of both twitters listed because sometimes they get the word on drops without no one every really having a heads up. Be quick with your clicks and hopefully have all your payment set ups through paypal or the site if you can.

Funny enough I was able to cop a pair of all white NMD xr1's yesterday from Caliroots after Adidasalert posted up.

Team early with the 2016 Air Jordan 1 OG Black/Red 'Banned' ! Love the quality on these compared to the last release (2013)! Not quite SBB or original banned 1 lvl, but still very nice.

No one going for the Gold XIs?

I was able to cop a pair through SNKRS. Going for the Banned 1s and 31s next week. I'll be in Vegas so praying for the wifi to hold up.

Not a big fan of low XIs. Plus, trying to save up to get back into my own place. It feels weird not having my own place lol.

Are the rumors of Eggplant Foams and Royal 1s true in 2017 true, cause if so

The fact that I'm practically guaranteed a pair of Bred 1s makes me so damn happy, only pair of sneakers I truly wanted this year.

I have a confession to make.. I don't own a pair of Jordan I's. I'll try to get these

I mean damn.. Look at that thing. Just bought some pairs of blakish and olive green skinny chinos from Banana Rep I think the shoe will work with those.. At least I'll try to make it work.
If I can't get the shoe I'll gladly settle for these instead.

Hell, I don't have a place to live lol. But I don't have to worry about it at the moment. I like the gold, it reminds me of the Gary Payton PEs.

The 1s seem to be "more available" than last time but that doesn't mean Ls won't be given out.

Since I couldn't get the blue Foams I guess I will try and get the red/blk retro 1's

That giant jumpman on the Banned J's kill it so hard. I hope they release a pair without it. Also take that obnoxious text off of the bottom of the shoe.

Got infant yeezys in hand, and another one from adidas.com.

Cutest thing ever, and makes me sad I don't have kids. Maybe my future kid can be wearing this heat.

i wonder if it's cheaper to buy breds off ebay now or wait for resellers after they actually release

I have 0% faith as a Canadian that I'll be able to cop at retail...

Optimistically, I see these bottoming out at 270. It'll stabilize at around 320 imo. I dropped 300$ on the '13s on release day because I wanted them so bad so I personally don't think it's that bad. I mean, it's my #1 favorite shoe.

It's looking more and more like the breds are limited. Unless they sent stores more limited numbers and NDC is gonna have a bunch, but I doubt that.

If I miss on these, I won't be bothered too much, but Royals next year on the other hand...

Sup Sneaker GAF.

I know almost nothing about shoes. All my life, just bought what looked and felt nice. Mostly have Pumas for driving.

Was looking into some causal sneakers for walking and jogging, and friend recommended Adidas Ultra Boost.

I see there are both regular and Uncaged variations. Anyone have experience with them?

I'd like to give em a go, but the problem is I'm having a hell of a time finding them in stock anywhere in stores near me or online. I'm usually a size 9.5 or 10. Any help or opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have two pairs of Uncaged UB and I find them to be very good for walking and so-so for running. I think they're mushy compared to Nike's Flyknit Racers, which are my favorite all-around athletic/casual shoes.

It's pretty easy to find Uncaged UB available online or in-stores. I see them at the Adidas store all the time as well as Foot Locker and Finish Line.

Caged UBs constantly sell out, I never have any luck with finding those (or any type of NMD) because Adidas is the Nintendo of shoes. They love their artificial shortages.

How does a draw work on the app?
Click to expand...
Basically the same as a regular purchase. You click to order and then just wait for the Got 'Em message or the denial message to pop up. The draw usually lasts an hour so you have to wait until it's over before you get either message.

Things like OVO's and the Wing 12's went through the draw, so looks like these could be hard to get.

i'm still looking to buy my first pair of NMDs. I woke up early for the finishline restock and they didn't restock until like 3-4 hours after they were originally supposed to post online. I was late on the caliroots. I waited on end clothing only for them to not restock...etc etc etc

Yeah, it'll be that morning. Find the shoe in the app and you can have it notify you 15 minutes before. But it should be either 7 or 10 AM pacific time this Saturday.

Get any size you can get a hold of and try to swap with someone. Not sure if the kid sizes are the same as men's but the new mold is a lot more roomier. You could possible get a 5 1/2?

My main issue with my UBs (I have the caged version). Love walking/standing in them but despise running in them. Even working out in them is merely okay - my Nike Lunar Caldras are oddly more comfortable when doing strides and sprints.

Still, I'll pick up another pair of UBs (caged and in a color I like) but they'll never be a go-to workout shoe for me.

So even if I were the very first person to click purchase I'm not guaranteed a pair. Its basically a raffle?
Am I understanding this correctly?
