Man if I dont get these shattered backboards I'm gonna cry. I actually have orange things to wear with them.
I dont have any connections so I took massive L's on every hot release this year. But I gotta get these somehow!

Got myself a size 10 in these

Anyone else cop?

Copped these too

Today is the first time in a long time i didn't take an L

Actually feels really good. I don't have any hopes for the reversed sbb 1s. I am not even going to bother on the weekend. Barely win on in-store raffles

Leave on a high note

Got my NMD R1s yesterday. The opening is very stiff (these are normal material, not primeknit. More like a reinforced neoprene) and is rubbing my left achilles raw. Just beware you'll probably need tabbed socks while breaking these in.

Grabbed some Banned 1's for $245. Been watching them for a few weeks on eBay and GOAT and they seem to have stabilized around $250 for now. in my size.

Still salty about not getting the glitch XR1's. Resell for my size seems to be $300+ at least. Really want just one pair of PK NMD's.

Subbed, didn't even know gaf had a thread like this. I can safely say I'm gonna be in this thread more than any other thread on gaf lol. Subbed to Anth0nys streetwear thread as well.

The draw has been horrible for me. Honestly haven't hit on a single thing I've wanted. Would be glad if the sbb 2.0 aren't on the draw.

I bought a pair. I like the colors and how they included the embossed box on the side and the stack of boxes on the insole.
I am a size 9.5 but with the SB Dunk Lows they fit too small, to me anyways. I think it may be the tongue. Trying a size 10 this time.
 
Skipped out on the Shoe Box Dunks to focus on the Toy Story Vans since I'm aiming to get 2 pairs (Woody & Buzz Old Skools) tomorrow.

If Niketown still has pairs of the Shoe Boxes, I'll try to cop there.
 
Doing 750 carts with guaranteed refund. I legitimately hired someone on real payroll to handle this side of my work base on request in Twitter and Reddit, so I can handle carts from here too.

Pm me for more info.

Good luck everyone again

Got 2 pairs of DS PK NMDS that I was going to put up on eBay as I'm running out of space and i just dont like nmds as much as i thought
haha. Ones a vapour grey in a size UK11 and the others a black Tokyo in a size UK10. Not looking to make money as i got both at retail and im not a reseller. Would you be interested?

Hey man, I appreciate that, but I think they'll be too small for me (I need size 14 US).

The black Tokyos are dope. I may just pay the resell on those soon (usually around $300-$350).
 
Grabbed the last pair in my size at the SF Vans store! This was a display model and they were totally sold out of the Buzz pair. Bunch of people were trying on and buying other pairs as well.

Just picked up a pair of Nike Blazers. It's seriously been over 10 years since I owned a dedicated pair of Nikes (low-top Dunks). I loved my Dunks and basically wore them until it started falling apart (RIP).


(not my pictures)

I've been wanting a pair of these for about a year now, and I lucked out with them being on sale at Nike's website at the exact colourway I want.

I've been wearing a ton of Chucks in the timeframe between my Dunks and now (along with random footwear). While Chucks are easy to style, I'm getting sick of them. And I've been wanting to own sneakers that feel more solid for some time as well.

I have a can of Walter's Total Protection waterproofing and stainproofing for shoes of different types (leather, suede, nubuck, etc.). Is this enough (with recommended application amounts) for protection, or is there a recommended product here?

That being said, I only see guides on cleaning on the OP, is the spray I have even necessary and it's all just a matter of consistent cleaning?

You should be fine. I would personally just tell you to wear them and not worry about a little dirt but even soap and water will be fine. The worn-in look looks great on blazers.
 
Just bought these too lol!

Originally passed on these in favor of the Toy Story Vans but decided to stop by Niketown SF and lo and behold, they had them in stock. These were also the display model.

Thanks. I think I'll follow your lead. I never used to do anything to protect my shoes, especially since wearing Chucks, but now I'm a little conscious in keeping them looking nice. I had a similar worry to my Dunks from ages ago, but the moment I wore it and got some creases in, I stopped worrying.

Just to share, I also picked up a pair of Nike Kaishi Runs in red. This is sort of what got me back into checking out Nikes, and I think I've fallen back into the rabbit hole. Lord help me and my wallet.

i still have no clue where to get the Sbbs in canada

foot sites dont have them, we dont have snkrs here and only kids sizes shows up on nike.com

maybe we aint even getting them. fuck!

edit: nvm found them on nike.com
 
Can anyone recommend some good nike trainers that are also waterproof?

I current use the following:

Nike Flyknit Lunar 3
Nike Lunar TR1

Both of which I love, but when the rain falls it goes right through to my socks. Would like something with the same level of comfort.
