Sneakers |OT| Hypebeasts We Know About Ya

I just noticed that Nike+ sent me an early reserve for the AJ6's this weekend, but I completely missed the notification.

I guess it's a sign I shouldn't cop. IT'S SO HARD TO RESIST BUYING SHIT

Did a little lace swap and customizing to my triple blacks. I hate long laces and I also hate when they flop lol. I imagined in my brain the tb's looking better with rope laces, and I think it turned out even better than I had hoped. Also added metal aglets and tiny black rubber bands to secure it all up.

Just did a two mile walk to see how it held together. No problems.

 
Has anyone ever sold used sneakers on GOAT? It seems overly intense - they want references (twitter, instagram, other resale stuff) like you're giving a CV for an interview.

Im totally down as a buyer that it helps ensure legit sneakers, but its hard when you're not really in that resale game! I just want to sell my less worn sneakers to make way for the eventual pair of Yeezy's lol

Got the expected L on the og blue.

Got a 20% off code from Nike out of it though haha

Looks like the atmos are now a draw.

Might buy my first pair of ultra boost with that ebay coupon.
 
Yeah, not sure why they're handling the OG rerelease this way.

I like how they handled the Air Max 95 Neon a few years ago.

I can understand for the ATMOS.

I pray the Royal 1 release isn't like this.

Just cross posting from another thread.
Anyone else like Adidas City Series? I have a pair of these Stockholm.
Blue suede, transparent soles, really comfy, had them for years.

My favorite pair of trainers.

Pretty much all of the Adidas City Series are great but these are the pinnacle.

Also got a few more nice pairs, will put some pics up tomorrow if that's alright.

Always down to see what other people have collected 👌
 
It makes sense when you consider they are releasing Ultra 2.0 versions of the AM1 in those colourways soon.

Most just want to rock the OGs. They weren't pulling these shenanigans in 15 with the 95 Neon or 90 Infrared.

But they were wrong with the 97 and 90 retroes.

But whatever they want to do to get that buzz right now. Wish UA had taken advantage of the momentum they had with the Curry's along with Adidas coming up to Nike to play nicer.

At least Js are sitting on shelves now (besides 1s and 11s).

Making the OG's unobtainable doesn't make we want to buy some garbage 2.0 version.

I guess in general maybe enough people settle and it works for Nike.

Like I said before though, as long as ID gets the new old shape soon, I'm good with that. Most of my AM1 are ID already. I got discount codes ready to go for when they update ID.

Hopefully the rumors are true though and the OG red and blue get a GR release without all the extras.

Also I guess the Atmos are actually not a draw.

I'm trying to decide on what to buy with this ebay coupon. Thinking some ultraboosts, anyone got favorite colorways that aren't crazy expensive. I don't always stay up to date on adidas stuff.

Kind of regretting not buying a couple pairs of alphabounce when they were on sale two weeks back. They look better in person than in pics.
 
Was it a "I wear these on my walk to work because they're comfortable and I change into oxfords" look or "I wear these with a suit because I think they look great" look??
Hopefully the former. He was standing outside a restaurant with some other folks dressed nicely who were not wearing athletic shoes haha

Best place to sell boosts? Grailed vs ebay? I'm past the return window so that's not an option.

If your in the UK I know eBay are doing until tomorrow night £1 selling fees, would be a better return than Grailed since they seem quite high on fees.

Watched Abstract with Tinker last night, it was a nice watch but not very revealing. Also, the E.A.R.L. looks way too hyped for what it currently is, would say that tech is 5 to 10 years away from being practically available for consumers. Paying 600 extra USD for something that can be done in 10 seconds is rn ridiculous
