Oh look what finally showed up! I actually had to exchange them for half a size larger which took a while...But the process was smooth and hassle free.

Oh, this is weird. I brought my desktop up after a while away and I guess it posted that when I meant to a while ago. Those are the restocks from last week, I'm 99% sure. I even did get those brown/white uncaged shipped in and everything - wearing them today, looool. My fault.

E: Turns out those kicks are all dropping in Canada through SportChek this Saturday, though, for any Canadians who wanted them. Two UB uncaged, and a regular model. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯



And which tri colour? Either way, even new you wouldn't get $250 USD for them up in Canada. I've been watching them for a long time. People are selling them used for like $20 or so under that, but they're not exactly being bought out. I'd never spend $330 CAD on a shoe, though, that's just me. I'd probably bite at the lower USD$200 range, or heavily debate it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yo I'm feeling those 31 lows. Might have to work em into my budget.

Also I'm not sure how I'm feeling about the AW x Adidas basketballs. I think I like em

Anyone know what I SHOULD be paying for BIN/DS Jordan 11 Space Jams ?

Or even a pair that's been worn once or twice but is basically brand new?

EDIT: Because this shit looks too good to be true: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-Nike-a...593875?hash=item3d371c1b13:g:b1AAAOSwnHZYbsW8

Looking at those pics versus the official images, it seems like the back heels are off, but I can't tell because of the angle on the pictures in the auction.

Also seems like the peeks are too large, and looking at the seller's history, he's sold crazy retros for well below market price.

Price is not too bad, but I would advice use goat or stocks to buy these. U aren't paying that much more and these don't really resell much higher than retail.

Hug.

I entered five to six raffles got no calls back. No Nike+ reservation. I'll try for my RoyaL tomorrow but I'm willing to pay the resell. Sucks that I might have to but it's the same b.s. with these 1 releases.

Wound up getting on the waitlist on the Footlocker app, but still no go.

I missed in 2013 and the only reason I didn't pay resell is I couldn't bring myself to pay near $300 for a pair of shoes I couldn't be sure was legit. With places like Stockx around now, I will probably pay resale if I have to this time.

These do seem more plentiful than 2013 so hopefully I won't have to and snkrs comes through tomorrow.

I guess I can't complain too much, I got Chicagos on the draw, my wife got breds on the draw, and I also got black toes for retail.

Nike Roshe Two. Can be had for £55. Super comfy, especially for beaters.

I'd say go Boost, can get Pure boosts for 95 squid.

Roshe 2 are fine beaters too though

And I'll advocate for Asics Gel Lyte V.

You can find them reasonably cheap on sale and they are really good as daily sneakers. Great cushioning and comfort and I think they have a pleasant casual aesthetic overall. Can't go wrong.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll probably be going for the Nike Roshe 2 because then I could buy a second pair with the leftover budget, was thinking Sambas.

Back in 2011-12, I didn't know much about "unauthorized" kicks. Some seller was selling "Authentic" royals and I bought them for 325. Was happy with my purchase until I started browsing sneaker forums more.

PayPal protection already ended so I was screwed. Emailed the guy and he claimed they were legit.

Now that I think about it. Dude pretty sent them like how China sends the UAs. They weren't even double boxed. I was so mad lol.

In London this weekend, tried on Air VaporMax and Pureboost 2017. Air VaporMax is less comfy than the Ultraboost but more comfy than the Pureboost. Did not like the new Pureboost at all compared to the Pureboost ZG, just not as comfortable and as much support IMO. Going to return my TB Pureboost ltd when I get them.

Didn't get the Air VaporMax as I don't like the Platinum CW but will wait for a good deal on the TB or a nicer CW

Never mind, just saw on twitter that some dude stuffed 50 guys into the front of the line at HAVEN and apparently 150 people are waiting in line already.

Luckily I managed to get a pair on Finishline.

SNKRS came up and kept asking me to login in when I clicked add to cart. When I finally got it to pick a size everything was grey, then it said sold out, then it finally worked properly and I got the L. My wife actually got through faster on her phone but also got the L.

I haven't ordered from Finishline in a while, I probably won't be happy until I get the shipping notification from them haha.

Still trying to double up...

Fucking Ls, dude.

I missed out on my raffle tickets, couldn't hit on Snkrs, and failed at reasonable resell on StockX.

Anyone with an oop for a size 9.5 or 10 for not $300? :(

After getting denied several times with the payment options on the SNKRS+ app I eventually got to the 'Pending' status...and several minutes after that I was able to cop a pair of Royals.

Edit: just got my confirmation text and SNKRS+ notificaiton from Nike.

Nike+ (UPS) is delivering my pair today 😎 They're going straight to feet.

Congrats to everyone else who managed to cop. It "seemed" easier than breds.
