Sneakers |OT| Hypebeasts We Know About Ya

Hey first time posting here, shouldve known there was a sneaker gaf lol. I picked up the 12 gym reds earlier this week after trying on the last few restocks finally. I really want those Breds............how much are folks paying to get them early? at the most I dont wanna pay more than 200$ for this shoe but ive never owned the Jordan 1 so its like ugh...lol
 
why? share please

Too bouncy. You want flat soles for lifting. Doesn't generate the power you need and encourages bad posture due to the softness.

350$ is about the going rate. Lowest I saw was 320$.

Just saw these for the first time on Nightwing's channel, this is really a great casual shoe from Jordan Brand:

feels like there's way more hype for Yeezys, NMDs and UBs these days than Jordans

I wonder if the numbers back that up. probably not, but that's the feeling I get.

good job adidas.

It'll be short-lived.

With that said, I just became a fan of those Human Race NMDs just by the way he laced them up.

Well Jordan varies, since there are a lot more models and releases than something like Yeezy's or even NMD's.

There are regular releases that are pretty quiet, but you'll still have certain limited releases (or just some OG retro colorways) that are super hyped.
 
Anyone know how often the triple ultra boast and black/white ub restocks? I feel I'll give em a shot if I strike out on the Bred's this weekend.
 
Please dont ever work out on ultraboosts

Especially if you lift

I don't usually do anything too crazy if I work out in them (this often happens because I'm too lazy to switch to my Lunar Caldras at the gym sometimes).

Mostly squats/squat jumps, burpees and strides during my gym session or if it's a running-centric cardio workout, I'm usually wearing them on the elliptical or doing short sprints.

But yeah, if you love UBs and want to use them as more than just a lifestyle shoe and more of a runner, ymmv.

I'd like to know this too. Driving down to Seattle this Friday from Vancouver and would like to snag a pair of the Triple White's.

Anyone know shoe stores that would stock them?
 
Version 3. There's 2 versions out already. Version 1 is the nongradient versions. On V2, they decided to make them gradient for some reason. No one knows. V3, they should be going back to OG.
Different pattern on the prime knit and what sort of looks like icy cages for V3. Don't think they really look as good as V1 but definitely better than the gradients.

Hate the icy cages for the V3 UBs, makes it look cheap imo. Hoping that there will be V3 cages that are more solid in color or that the V2 uncaged versions look more appealing than V1.

That said, I'm considering picking up a pair of Tokyo LunarGlide 8s for beaters. They feel stiffer and a bit heavier than the LunarEpic, but not too bad. Liked the cushioning on them - reminded me of my UBs oddly enough. Definitely not going to run/work out in them.
 
NIKE STORE in scottsdale is first come first served . I'm getting em. Let's get crazy .

Edit : people should post their sizes . On the off chance I can't get mine , ill grab the most commoly needed size . Maybe
 
As RLS got more flat laces in, I decided to order a few pairs and swapped the laces on my NMDs and UBs. Overall, I'm much happier with my laces now.

what do ya'll use for wet weather/Fall/Winter boots? Need something that's good for walking and being active, as I work with kids. Been looking at some Palladium stlyes, as I already own a pair of insulated boots by 'em, but they're a little heavy (and chaff my heel something bad).

I usually wear a pair of Red Wing 875s during the fall/winter. When it rains, I have my trusty Hunter boots.

I do want more boots though.
 
where should I be refreshing on release day

or will all of them crash simultaneously?
If I were going for them I'd go Size? or one of the german sites (43Einhalb, Overkill and Afew).

If you go Size? make sure you keep refreshing their instagram and twitter pages, cause they post direct links on there.

Anyone here in Canada go as far as ordering from the states? I love ASICS Tigers but not many shops in Canada stock the good colourways. Was looking at BAIT in Seattle but worried I will get killed on shipping costs.

Yup.

Shipping and customs/duty fees cost me an extra $120 on a pair of ultra boosts. fuck my life.

lol fuck me. I just ordered a pair of Sambas from Livestock and they shipped from the Vancouver store instead of the Toronto location. Aside from Solestop, Livestock, Capsule and Lost & Found, the selection (for what I'm into) is limited here in Toronto. It's bad times up here.

I fucking need these.
 
Of the links posted in the OP, which are my best bet for finding sneakers in size 15 or higher? Not sure if it helps, but I mostly wear Forces and other Nike sneakers like Air Flight 89s.
