I think I will have seen every UB 3.0 colourway before they release one of the fucking things.
Seems they are taking the NMD route of putting out as many as they possibly can in every colour of the rainbow.

More like Nike Pure Lunar ZG
New Balance (manufactured in the USA, that's the important part, therefore opposed to TPP) has come out announcing their approval of the upcoming Trump presidency. Time to stop buying their shoes, in my case.

Don't own a pair and I guess I never will now. Sorry, NB but I kinda like my Family and friends.
They could have opposed the TPP without connecting that with endorsing Trump, so this move seems so fucking boneheaded. Hilarious since not all of their shoes (and/or garments) are made in the USA, if you look outside their lifestyle brand stuff.
They have a few factories. One in Asia, one in USA, and one in the UK. Any of their shoes that don't say where they're made on the shoe, are usually made in Asia.
Edit: says on the front of the tongue
Omg looks so different in real life.
As I said in my other post, this affects a lot of us in this thread since the main stuff we're interested in is the "Made In USA" brand of NB lifestyle shoes.

NMD PK R2
The EVA tabs ('lego blocks') is what makes the NMDs hot and distinct for me.
Even with it in the medial, I think they need to keep the outer ones on the new model. Its what helps making so many interesting colorways and grabs everyone's attention.
They've made it look like an uncaged ultraboost. :/

yup, not fucking with the new ones.
I have the 580 Jacquard Oreos and I'm not sure I'll ever touch them again. Only pair I've ever purchased.
Not... not sure how I feel, but it isn't good.
I do like the colours on the first one, but otherwise? Eh.

The NMR PK R2 is out December 3rd, which is the same day as the Tri-Colour pack. Adidas doing their usual thing of flooding the market with CWs. Might make it easier to cop a pair if you want one I suppose.
Still expensive. Although understandable considering its first gen tech.
I think any sneakerhead would for that price! Those bad boys are going for tens of thousands at auction currently.

Tri Color, PK R2, and the Harden vol. 1. I wouldn't be surprised if the Oreo yeezy drop the same day at this rate.

Trying to catch these Black Toe 1s on a Footlocker restock - but too many puters are putin'.
At least I'll get those TB3s in a week or two
What have you guys picked up as of late? I got some crazy sub-$100 deals on Indiglo 14s, bred AJKOs, white/navy metallic OG 1s, the OG metallic 5s...and some Adidas Alphabounces.

Forgot to set my alarm and of course the Parley uncageds are long gone. Damn!
Been on an Adidas spree lately. Both of the 2.0 3M caged ultra boosts, glitch PK NMD XR1, japan NMD and some 1.0 mystery grey UB's.

Nothing. Bought a pair of CDG x Converse but returned them cause they were too small.
Just waiting for SF-AF1s in EU and the Tri-Colour NMDs.
And speaking of the SF-AF1s they are finally coming to NDC EU tomorrow morning through something called 'The Draw'. Whatever the fuck that is.

Won the raffle for the SF-AF1s. 😎
Funny how Nike said you'd receive an email within 24 hours if you won and yet I got one from PayPal confirming my order as soon as the raffle ended.

Yeah that's why people just check their paypal now instead of waiting for that email.
Or make it worse for themselves after they don't see the paypal charge and wait for the email that is never going to come lol.
Not enough people dumping plastic in the ocean for size 14's brah!

BAPE finally ship to U.K. Went and had a look at how much some stuff was, at first I was thinking the pricing wasn't actually that bad but then I saw how much shipping was...
£115!!! To ship a pair of slip ons from Japan. That's fucking insane.

Maybe it'd be possible to organize with a bunch of other UK people (that you trust) to make a mass order, split shipping, and then break up the order once it gets to a single address?
don't selfridges and end clothing sell BAPE tho?
wolfwolfwolf

You'd still have to pay import fees on top so it would never be worth it. The slip ons I tested it with were 17,500¥ with shipping being around 15,500¥ which equates to around £245 in total with around £50 to pay in import fees afterwards, so you'd be looking at £295 in total. You might also have to pay a handling fee on top of that depending on who delivers it in the UK.
Selfridges sell a selection in store and online. END only sell BAPE at their store in Newcastle. Selfridges have a deal by where they get exclusive rights to sell online.
By buying from BAPE directly you get access to everything that drops in Japan.
Seriously wtf lol.
I live in the Bay Area, so next time I'm up in San Fran I'll toss a few extra bottles into the ocean. I want my Parleys!
Dunno about that man, look at this:
http://www.endclothing.com/eu/brands/a-bathing-ape
lists 591 products here, might be different products but they are definitely stocking them

In-store only.
Haha right so you are. Never clicked into one of their products before, just did it and boom there's a in-store only notice. Why even bother to put up 591 flipping products then just to say buy in-store??

Likely in a bid to entice people desperate enough to travel up there and buy things.
In other news, AlphaBounce EMs are being released this weekend (19th). Three colourways. $110.
Hopefully my luck from this morning keeps up so I can grab the tans.
