Sneakers |OT| Hypebeasts We Know About Ya

I think the TB3 sitting is a combination of the price to quality ratio not being good enough and they made a shit load of pairs.

If they have as many pairs of space jams, I don't think they'll sit since people go nuts for 11s for whatever reason (I'm not a fan) but if you're on top of things you should be able to get a pair I think.

I'm still contemplating whether I want to try for the space jam 31s or take a chance that they'll make it to clearance.

What time does all the Adidas stuff go up Saturday? I want to try for the Burgundy xr1 I think.

3.0 triple white is the best looking all white pair they've released, but I'm holding out for the 3.0 black. New primeknit pattern is great.
Yeah, it's growing on me.

I'm tempted to pick up these, but I think I'll start with the black and grey pairs for now.

Anyone coppin' the 11's next week? how's the release looking so far? Im assuming it'll be piece of cake going off the last couple of years.

The word is if you want them you will be able to cop pretty easily.

I am in for the Space Jams 11s and 31s. I am done for awhile after that. Moving out of state early next year and I need to put my spending in reverse.

i work at footlocker and we got a ludicrous amount of Space Jams. about the same as the TB3s but the demand for the Jams will be higher of course.

Hope so!

Give me these Jams, I can return the TB3. Sell off some other shoes as well (French Blues, LD Zero H, NMD PK). Get rid of a few other kicks that I no longer need/want.

Can anyone tell me if I can get the Jordan xxxi space jams for cheaper? Or is 185$ a standard price and a sale price is unlikely?

$185 is the standard price. You can wait to see if they sit and get them on clearance from Nike directly or another store. Footlocker has most colorways in good sizes, even the Banned ones. The Fine Prints aren't anywhere to be seen though. But the ones they do have are still 185. I have heard some people having success on ebay for past colorways for cheaper, but you know how that goes.

There have already been sales to had on some 31 colorways, tough to tell if the space jams will last that long though.

Edit: Looks like those Burgundy xr1 releasing tomorrow are women's shoes? Lame. What's the biggest size they usually make?
 
Was at FinishLine and held their last pair of TW UB 3.0s (Size 12) - San Francisco Shopping Centre in case anyone cares.

The new knit does work well but I still hate the milky-looking translucent cage and the toebox... Looks like a pig snout...

Any word on how they fit compared to 2.0's?

Adidas can be random with their sizing with all the different models.
 
Tri-Colours not dropping in EU till 26th...

Still no sign of AlphaBounce EMs...

No release announced for UB 3.0s...

Holy shit, I got the tricolor primeknit NMD's. Looked like all sizes were still available too.

Amazing. Was expecting nothing when the splash page came up.

Didn't try as I wear a sz. 9, but I want to say that the knit felt finer (smoother?) than the 2.0s. So maybe it'll be less snug possibly, but dunno.

Honestly 31s aint selling out. Thats their new performance line

Yeah, Footlocker still has every colorway except one (Fine Prints) because those were limited. Not hating on the 31s at all, I have 2 of the colorways myself. I was going to get the Space Jam 31s over the weekend, but got the Hardens instead. I might pick up the Space Jam 31s later though. I did like the colorway and now I can use my discount code on them.

On a related note, I went to Footlocker in-person to get the Hardens. I hadn't been in an actual store in about 2 years. I have been doing everything online. The amount of older shoes I saw amazed me. They still had a pair of the Jordan 29 lows there.

How are the Hardens on feet, they look really nice...

I would go up a half size. These things are tight around mid-foot. I could wait for them to be broken in, but they are tight right now. I actually might return them for a half size larger. Other than that, they are dope. Really quality materials and construction.
 
Saw that, but had to pass because my wallet can't keep up right now =[

Both of the tri color NMD's are on the way from the Saturday drop and I'll be getting at least two pairs of the 3.0 ultra boosts this week. Adidas is going a little crazy right now lol.

Your iron wallet.
 
Anyone check their house of hoops on the release of the SJ's? My local shop is doing a app thing although Im not sure if it's a raffle.

Lucky you. That shit is better/fairer than them rigged raffles and back door tactics.

I used the app to cop a pair of Black Toes in Jersey (I'm in Maryland). I wish they were using in-app reservations in the DMV.

I went around to three malls today for raffle tickets. I actually came up on a pair of RSBBs at one store so it wasn't a bad day.

I have a test I'm taking Saturday morning so hopefully I get a Nike+ reservation, raffle win or they're still available online like the 72-10 or True Blues were.

I like the model a lot, but also passed because these first colorways aren't great imo.

But some of the R2's that are on the way are absolute fiyah.

IDK buddy, the NMD is all about 'da block innit!' I understand that they impeded comfort, but if you wanted comfort you would get the pure boost zg or ultra boost instead.
 
Anyone try on the NMD R2? Aesthetically, I'm not feeling them

Haven't tried them because I really dislike the look of them.

Spoke to the people at the Adidas Store in San Francisco and they said that the R2s didn't even sell out while nearly all the R1s did (they had a handful of sizes left last night). According to them, a lot of people weren't feeling the look either, they too miss the "LEGO blocks" on the midsole. The big one on the heel for the R2s just looks cheap.

Sitting in Dublin too..
 
RF x Adidas Ultra Boost Mids might be dropping next week with the KITH Aspen store launch. Guessing a worldwide launch will come a week or two later.

not a fan, too much going on with this shoe.

Yeah, not really feeling these either as I the only uncaged versions of the UBs I really like are the Solebox collab versions. Everything else about the current uncaged silhouette I'm just not too crazy about.
