QC on the japans doesn't seem great. Some dodgey glue work on my pair which were just delivered.
Only noticeable on close inspection, looks clean AF otherwise. Tempted to keep.
Royals restocking in the UK next week. Tempted.

all the black boost soles I've seen have had terrible QC, returned the PB ltd triple black because of that.
I mean, it's near 30 year old technology, but yea they're overpriced. Luckily these days Nike seems to be overproducing things, so it's easy to hold out and get retros for closer to $100-$120.

*It's easy to get retros nobody wants.
The true OG CWs still all sell out almost immediately.
Feel like it's all boosts. My multicolor UB3 have some dodgy glue work on the plastic towards the heel.
Anybody interested in buying lightly worn J Crew Killshots? Wore them like twice but they're too big...Size 9
Damn I want those but I have a pair of the Iniki' s in essentially the same colorway. Do they run big? I generally wear a 9.5 in Nike.
Yea I would say so, although they're pretty narrow. I usually wear 9 in practically everything but I definitely need at least 8.5 here.
TB3s didn't sell out anywhere near immediately. They even made it to discount. I'm sure there's other OG pairs of models I don't care at all about that sat too.
There's still some nice retro+ colorways too. Overpriced at $190, great at $120. Doesn't really matter if the hypebeasts want them or not.
And it used to be just about everything sold out pretty fast. Maybe not instantly but Jordan retros very rarely sat long enough to be put on discount. Especially for the most popular models.
It's a combination of price being too high and Nike making way more stock.
Now the OG 1s, those still go immediately.

True Blue 3s is the only example I can think of that supports your point. That seemed to be a quality issue AFAIK, the leather was bad, glue job was bad, and the elephant print was so bad that pairs in the same box had completely different print patterns on them.
If you can think of other true OG CWs that didn't sell out ASAP, feel free to prove me wrong, but I cannot think of any right now even in the last year+.
I'd say it's a combination of price being too high + non OG CWs / remixed OG CWs that people don't necessarily want / are hyped for.
I don't know enough about the later models, but I coulda swore there were a few OGs in the 13-15 range that sat. Didn't the maroon 6s sit a bit too? I could be wrong, my memory sucks.
Regardless even retro+ colorways never used to sit like this, even the ugly ass ones haha. Stuff like the joker 3s (which I own and like, but isn't an overall liked colorway) were gone instantly.
I'm curious to see what happens with the black cement 3s next year. I'm assuming they'll be $220 and if they continue with making a shitload of pairs I wonder how fast they'll sell out. Who am I kidding, probably still instantly haha.

You say that but today I tried on some even older shoes that really impressed me. Air force 1s (admittedly 09 versions)! Blew the sb dunks I was wearing out of the water in responsiveness and comfort. Definitely want to add a pair to the collection now!

People are sleeping on the high and low cut AF1 Flyknits. I tried out the multicoloured one and was amazed with how comfortable and stylish they were. Ofc this is the OG banned Jordan colourway so I expect it to be sold out regardless.
I've been wondering what's the difference between Pure and Ultra Boosts?
Oooooooh shyt
Well, we have the Bred AJ13s releasing this weekend to use as another data point. The Bred colorway has always been popular.
Personally, if I can't cop 2 pairs of these Breds on Saturday, then I'm going to pass on these shoes. I'm not a huge fan of the AJ13 in the first place. So if I can't use the second pair to offset (at least half of) the $200 cost of the first pair, then it's an easy pass. #SorryNotSorry
I just got done doing the raffles at my local Finish Line and Foot Locker. Both said hype has been average so far.

Yeah I need to cop me one of those. I saw that they're doing a maroon one but I don't like that colorway.
Also can someone explain to me why the mars yard is so hyped? It looks alright I guess.

Well tech has come a long way from retros. Hardly any of them are going to be comfy lol
They'll sit for a while. OG sneakerheads hate changes on their sacred models.

Had to choose between these X-PLR and Yohji Yamamoto Y3s but ultimately couldn't live with the huge Y3 logo on the heel.
These are incredibly hard to keep clean.
Great substitution. I love some Y-3 stuff but hate some of their other offerings and also because of those giant Y-3 logos as well. Nice with the tubular selection too, I feel like Tubulars don't get as much love and I never understood why.
They have sales on random shoes every now and then to clear off inventory and make way for new seasons. They always sell out on my size(s) though.
The white's look great but I agree the blacks looked fantastic. I went to the Toronto Adidas on the reopening during my lunch break and was about to get the blacks but changed my mind while I was trying them on and noticed some other R1s on the shelf that I ended up getting instead.
I'm kind of glad that I didn't get the R1 Japans though cause I already found out 3 of my friends who own them and have seen 2 other random people who own them over the past few days(I guess that comes with living in Markham).
Nmds come insoleless right? If so, maybe add one.

Y-3 goes on sale every season end man.
Nice thing about boutique brands is that they don't play that limited quantities bullshit.

These showed up today and they turned out to have a lovely shade!
Very nice color!
Believe it or not an insole can decrease the inner length of a shoe. By pushing your feet higher, it gives less room in the toe box area for your foot to push forward cause it becomes tighter upfront. it can even do the same in the heel area if the heel area is arched like a Yeezy for example. The lowest part is the longest part.
As for what insole to buy, i don't really know. But i suggest buying a thinnish one.
Ive bought thickest ones before and it just feels weird. Like because of less room in the heel area, the heel becomes more likely to pop out.
But yea should get one regardless since NMDs dont have insoles.

You can try just swapping one out with something you already have or don't wear any more just to see what you need.

Used to buy junk like Dr. Scholl's (seriously, don't waste your money ever) but then found Sof Soles on Amazon. I've gotten numerous pair for most of my shoes and they're great, very comfortable and don't wear out quickly at all.

You guys wanna pay $1000 for some NMDs?
I seriously have no idea how hender scheme does business. I do leatherwork myself and like well crafted leather shoes and I have no idea how they can charge this much.
