Fuck. I ordered the 13s for my coworker and now I think he got fired. Hasn't shown for work two days in a row...
Sigh. Oh well. Returning them won't help me since it'll take a week at the least to get money back onto PayPal and then that'll take another 2-3 days. Bout to finesse my own pockets lol.
It's pretty hard to guage hype honestly. Only thing you can really do is look at preorder prices and see if those are even selling.
Also take into account "tax season" lol

FFS I won the END raffle for the Pusha EQTs. Lol I didn't want them that much....
Could be worse, could have won a raffle for yeezy 950 boots!

Wow Nike+ is delivering my 8s today. Wtf lol. UPS is on drugs or something, I paid for standard shipping.

That sounds more like a loss than a win.
I'll see what they're like when they arrive, the look really nice in some pics but I think I may have ordered half a size too big...
Only thing is I can't really afford the royalties next week now...
You should never wait. If it's something you want then you try as quickly as possible to checkout. Especially on a collab (And Asics collabs are known for small quantities of stock).
Lotta shoes released this weekend I would have loved to get, just got no sneaker budget right now.
I typically don't really like Jordan 8s, but that take flight colorway is nice.
Never owned a pair of flyknit racers either, but I really liked that year of the rooster colorway.
And that Asics x Packer collab is great. Honestly if I wouldn't have forgotten about those I would have found a way to buy them. Size is sold out though. Hopefully resale isn't too bad.

I only buy shoes to rock 'em. Never sold a pair. If I don't think I'll truly wear something on the regular then I pass on it.
Of course that still means I have way too many shoes at this point, but it limits it at least somewhat.

I always buy what I like although I don't have much time to wear them. My philosophy is get them for retail if you can, never know when resell will jump (ex. 2013 shadow 1s).
I have a bunch of shoes I haven't even worn yet since my go to are the Oreo v2, creme UBS, bred 1s, and common projects. But I get the peace of mind that I have something I want and didn't pay a premium down the road.

The leather on the CNY looks so...
Plastic.
Plastic.
GF thinks I'm crazy too, even though she has more shoes. Hah.
I usually donate when I get tired of a shoe. Not in it to make any money on resell and the shoes I usually go for don't have resale potential anyway -- I don't do limited releases at all.
I usually keep 5ish pairs in my rotation, changes every season. Some shoes I keep for more than a year, with this system.
really? (looking at pic's & vids) nah.... don't see it. you scared there me for a sec.

Some recent pick-ups...
My friend from the UK was able to score me a pair of the Air Max 95 DW Rabbit signed by Dave White himself!
Picked up a fresh new pair of the Adidas EQT. This is by far the hottest colorway in the pack. The 3M pink and milky white heel design got me good.
OG NMDs and OG Royal Foamposite Ones!

That's a lot like me. I hate paying resell but also hate not having the ones I want. So I try to buy what looks interesting within reason and send back those I don't like. Have a pair I need to haul back to Finishline on my car seat right now lol. Used to get a bunch of skate sneakers for free so pretty used to donating ones I get tired of too.

How are the EQTs on foot? Comfy?
Don't like to trade because most people don't like to offer up equal value when doing so and only sell when I need the money or it was a bad purchase to begin with.
I'm an impulsive buyer since I'm all about price, don't mind if the shoe is used as long as it's in good condition. Good and bad thing because I miss out of some of the more expensive releases often.

pick-up from yesterday
Those are nice and sleek. What are they?
I don't know much about sneakers as I was never much of a sneaker-fiend, I just buy what I find interesting

Hmm..... I'm seeing that the gum pack nmds aren't delayed in the US, only in Europe?
Yeah, seems they're still coming out this week in the US.

The R1s are listed in the Confirmed app for NY. Haven't seen an update on the city socks though... And that's the most important piece of information, for me lol.
When the reservations actually go live, you have to be in the zone.
It only takes like 4 seconds for the system to decide whether you won or not, but for that small chunk of time your device has to be within the reservation zone.
Speaking of, the black / red Yeezys are already up on the confirmed app, February 8th is the cutoff for signups. Since I got the oreos I'm not expecting to get lucky on a Yeezy release ever again, but gonna try for these anyway.

Copped Chinese New Year AJXII.
Anyone in need of a size 9, maybe 9.5 (UK), I may be able to hook you up, or I'm returning the pair I don't need.

Sorted it and signed up, kinda amazed that it only has London as the zone for UK. Thought it would have somewhere North like Manchester.

Uncaged Presto
Looks like any old Nike shoe now, the cage was what made it special. I know peeps were uncaring UBs, but wasn't aware of a movement to uncage prestos

How do people keep there shoes clean here?
I saw a post in the initial post for this thread about suede shoes but it didn't really mention other materials. I've been using water+paper towels and sponges+water+dishwasher soap for the longest time to clean my shoes over the years because frankly I never bothered to look into the correct way of cleaning shoes. I do however want to learn how to clean different materials. Figured SneakerGaf would know best
I just bought a pair of the EQT ADV Turbo Reds which I want to keep clean as I plan to use it for jogging for the most part.
I bought a pair of the Kozoko Low blacks(they haven't arrived yet). It says it uses TPU and leather for it's materials. I know how to clean fully leather shoes but have never had to clean partially leather shoes but I've never owned a pair of shoes that use leather plus other materials on the top/sides
I have a pair of Tubular Invaders that I want to clean as well as I notice I have some scuffs on them but I assume I can follow the suede tutorial in the OP for that. However the bottom back(the plasticy part) is fairly dirty. What would be the best materials/method to clean this
