About the Air Max Vote winner...

Tbh, I kinda liked that Air Max 1.90 tropical design for the summer. The ones that won are okay.

The dragonfly wing one didn't win

 

[kasane]

apparently lots of royaLs here in canada

not sure if i trust that shit though LMAO

 

[FallingEdge]

Dude yes!!!
That shit had me furious. If I won them I wasn't going to resell them because they look so good.
Did they ever adress that?

No clue.

also, winning on the draw is damn near impossible, peeps be having 1000s of entries lol

if I can't scoop the Royals, I am going to buy a pair of the AM1 Safaris.

[Spiderjericho]

Why are triple black ultra boosts more expensive than the other ultra boosts.

Limited. They honestly didn't make many pairs. Whereas the Triple Whites restocked several times. But even with those, they sold out. UBs are hot right now.

Wait what

Maybe GOAT?

 

[FallingEdge]

Wait what

Buying a pair on stockx.

 

[soultron]

Gonna enter a KAWS L ottery

Almost 500 euros in Europe. It's not like I would be able to buy them anyway but

nopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for me

Overkill has listed them as €350. I know they're £290 in the UK.

I had only looked at End Clothing, as they are selling them online also.

Btw, got myself a pair of Ishod Wair SB Dunk Sea Crystal for 50 bucks. Pretty impressed with the quality and the looks of them.

 

[suplex]

Goin all in on royals. Missed out in '13 and hoping to avoid another royal sadderday.

If I do whiff, I might have to sell a couple pairs and just pay resale.

In a perfect world I'd love to double up at retail though.

There'll be other shoes for your wallet to cry over.

As for myself, my 247 Classics came in. Too tight a toe box and the true size, guess that's standard for the 247. My 574s fit perfectly, but those are more rounded rather than tapered. Returned them today, went to a New Balance store on my way home, tried a half size up on the 247 and it's too loose. RIP the dream on those. (Unless someone here would know if the men's would have a wider one than the women's? 'cause then I can just buy the men's equivalent size, I guess).

 

[Fjordson]

I'm pretty much done caring about Nike / Jordan, but the Royals are tempting me out of retirement tbh...

 

[rac]

i want the red inikis bad

definitely not worth it to go a half size up or down right? im a 12

 

[Antiwhippy]

Took the L for the United Arrows & Sons CS1 but bought the burgundy tracksuit from the same collection anyway because it's fiyah.

 

[Fjordson]

Probably go true to size at least. Definitely not down. They're not as roomy as like a pk NMD.

 

[chrisisawesome]

I tried them on today. I'd say definitely don't go 1/2 size up. I went TTS and there was plenty of room, it's a much looser baggy fit compared to PK NMD's and I had plenty of room. It's good because you can lace them up like a traditional sneaker. You could go 1/2 down BUT what I really didn't like was that I felt the top of my toe rub a little against the stitching on the toe box where the suede begins... wasn't terrible but I'd say TTS is best. 1/2 down if desperate.

edit: just read Fjordson's reply as well...lol we're pretty opposite on their fit compared to the pk nmd's! Might be a sign to go TTS or just wait until you can try them yourself.

 

[rac]

yeah i figured thanks guys

at least i have the 9317s coming today to hold me off till a restock or the price goes a little down on stockx

VaporMax 'Dark Grey' (849558-002), 05/04/2017

VaporMax 'Wolf Grey(?) Beige(?)'



Bottom pair looks really nice but I can't tell exactly what colour they are, light grey or beige...I assume by the colour of the background of the image they're meant to be beige.

these two are sexy af, better than the releases on the 26th

I think the multicolor ids were the best ones out of them all

 

[whatsinaname]

Confusing aesthetic since the tongue and lace work is essentially floating on top of a full sock upper. It's essentially all artifice at this point.

I do like the lace pull at the back of the heel but I wonder how it'd feel to actually wear these things; wouldn't the heelstay (eventually) start to sag from the constant downward tension?

Amended my post, the bottom pair is 'Pale Grey'.

Agree about the MCs, although I would have preferred a sole other than volt or clear.

I should probably mention that my feet are a little wide so I found them somewhat narrow.

Not really. The laces look like they go through a loop near the bottom of the heel. The tongue might actually provide a more even pressure at the top compared to the caged UBs or NMDs which provide support from the side of the foot..

i just tried on the eqt 93/17 in a 12 and there kinda bigger on me, how does that compare to the inki

i havent worn adidas shoes in a long time so im not really sure

I actually get my first 93/17 pair in tomorrow so I'll let you know.

I've heard that 93/17 is basically true to size. It's not all primeknit and has an insole so best not to size down.

I don't know which pair I want more. I was going to chill after the Royals but now.....

Jeez. I kinda like the sneaker you shared. Not feeling the others so much. Probably colour way alone, but I don't see myself buying this one, either.

Clothing says not available. I guess that's coming at a later date? I want that Calabasas hat if it's not too expensive.

these on the other hand... they're odd looking, in a good way tho. I'd buy em.

To my fellow Canadian bredren: LIVESTOCK has the navy inikis back in stock.

EDIT: nm holy shit that was quick.

Oreo-like VaporMax. NikeLab release for the Summer.

 

[Fjordson]

I don't really get the vapor max thing....the sole makes them look like fucked up golf cleats.

 

[Reckoner]

Ever since I saw the triple black ones they started clicking on me. Whenever a cool cw becomes available I'll cop. Curiosity isn't holding me back either.

Always wanted a pair.

Anyone have the latest Pure Boosts? Going to try for the triple black in the morning before I go out.

Just wondered if they fit true to size. They look to me they could run a little big.

I also saw for the first time (Ever since the original 350) someone else wearing 350 V2s. My puppy was barking while looking out the window so I checked it out and saw a girl walking down the road with her dog rocking the Black Copper color. Pretty funny to see someone so close to home.
