Sneakers |OT| Hypebeasts We Know About Ya

I'd absolutely be down to help out.

To give you an idea of prices here: ultraboosts/pk nmd's are 180 euros, the editions with color boost are 200 euros, those EQT x white mountain are 220 euros.
(Yeezy's are just as impossible to get here lol, and 220 euros)

For shipping, my postal service seems to be around 40 euros to ship to USA

What shoes were you looking at getting? Because for some easier stuff it may be easier to check out GOAT.

EQT x white mountain in a US size 13 is what I am interested in. You are right, goat or stockx might be better for some shoes. Not that one tho haha.
 
What kind of pants do you guys wear with the 350s? I got some full black tampered chinos but they seem a little baggy to go with them. Have thrown them in a wash on a 90 and now tumbling to shrink them. Today I got a pair of the khaki H&M Twill joggers but that baggy crotch isn't doing it for me, may head to a store and try a smaller pair.
I have a pair of the H&M twill joggers also but the drop crotch drives me nuts. I wish they had pairs that were that slim on the legs but had a regular crotch.

I wear H&M's ripped up biker jeans. Have a pair of them in black and green. They are slim fit legs with a regular crotch. I wish the jeans narrowed a bit more at the ankles but I don't find them too baggy. I have large calves and thin ankles from all the biking I do, so this is an issue I've always had with pants anyway haha

These are those jeans:

PSA: Netflix's show ABSTRACT has an episode on Nike's Tinker Hatfield. Great episode, especially for people into Jordans.

First episode was still the best I've seen thus far. The Tinker episode was entertaining but none of the mag shit was interesting to me.

Do they make similar cuts without the rips?

Holy shit just checked GOAT - $1k for a size 12.5?!
I'll pass by tomorrow and see if they have a 13 US. Shouldnt be a huge problem, last time I was there, the guy was telling me they had the 93-17 in stock until just a few days ago.

Feel free to DM me if you want to talk more about it.

Holy shit do the Iniki's ever feel nice. I've never owned a pair of anything with a BOOST midsole, so I guess I'm late to the party on this.

The upper is super stretchy and comfy too. Really happy with this pair.

Inikis literally feel like NMD.

Youve just been missing out. ;)

Welcome to the boost family! It's hard to wear a non-boost shoe after your first one lol

You definitely need to try on a pair of the Ultraboosts because I finally bought my first pair about 2 weeks ago (the zebra/oreo) and finally understood the hype. I've been wearing NMD's for the past year, but the ultraboosts are legit next level.

I was wearing my ultraboosts for the first time and passed by the adidas store to check out the iniki because its a really cool looking shoe. Honestly, the boost felt different on the iniki. While my ultraboosts felt like i was walking on a tempurpedic mattress, the iniki just didnt feel as great (and i wanted to love them). I'm not shitting on them, but I do have a bad lower back and feet that hurt, so I really appreciate added comfort.

Anyways, I'm pretty hype on boost but just really recommend people check them out if they can!

Ultraboost 3.0 is honestly the best feeling shoe on your feet. Something about that stretchy primeknit and boost combo is straight heavenly.

Also helps it looks dope as fuck.

I'm guess I'm not with this boost thing. I got alpha bounces and at times I feel even the bounce foam is too soft. Back to sambas for me...

Inikis and NMDs are pretty much the same comfort wise, just different silhouettes. However inikis are noticeably cheaper
 
idk what to do NMD 1.0 or 2.0

They seem so different

The NMD 2.0 i found looks a lot better on foot than just pictures. If you're able to try on a pair I would suggest you do that before buying. They have a larger "brick" on the inside and since I have wide feet, I would feel my foot applying pressure on the brick-it just didn't do it for me. I watched some YouTube reviews of the shoe where people also have said similar things.

Air Max 1s just went live in the UK, seems like they're really limited. AM1 thread on NT isn't happy about it lol. 29 pairs for all of Berlin lol

Got my pair when they went up in Asia about 13 hours back. I was lucky and scored a pair but my friend who's an OG sneakerhead, was anticipating these and he missed out. With all the hype Nike has been drumming up for the AMs you'd have thought they'd have made more of them. 30 pairs for an entire country is fucked. Doubly fucked when it's a shoe with no hype (not a diss on the AM1, I'd imagine this model has transcended all the hype bs).

As expected, Nike makes the og red AM1 stupid limited.

I couldn't even try this morning, had the wife try she said she submitted the order and got a blank screen not even the pending screen.

Gonna be the same deal for the blues and atmos, no doubt.

Hopefully it's a fake sellout, and Nike released more pairs on the 26th, maybe without all the extras.

If not, as long they update ID with the new old shape, I'm good.
 
aight sneaker-gaf gang, having a dilemma on some adidas kicks. i have 0 adidas pairs aside from the Pirate Blacks and been looking into NMDS. which does sneaker gaf fuck with more ?

imo human racers are better, but they're probably not worth over $1000 lol

$250 for human races sounds like a fake pair tbh.

If it's a legit pair then definitely get the human races just for value alone, those are usually way more expensive. Like 3X more expensive.

OG NMD's are nice, but with the recent re-release they're easy to find for around $250. Could pick those up later down the line.

How sway? How????

If that's the case, HR. I like the silo way better. Plus it's different.

Get the human race.

Also, how are you swinging $250????

a fellow coworker at footlocker got em and bought into the hype although he never wore it nor is into adidas runners. its either $200 for the OG or $250 for the Human Race. the Human Race silhouette looks way better to me and apparently theres a way to tie the laces behind the heel

Whew, Human Race without question. Great pickup at that price.
