Should really consider adding kicksdeals.com to the OP - those guys have come through at least half a dozen times for me in the past few months with some hard to find Nike SBs and a couple Js.

Just scored these 1's for a nice price on ebay for summertime:

And I'm getting psyched to see UNDEFEATED re-release those '03 dunks next weekend:

Anyone going to be doing the Air Max scavenger hunt in SF on Thursday?

I need help identifying a pair of sneakers, I'm glad this thread exists. I saw these shoes today, but they didn't have my size.

I wrote down the abbreviation, but I should have asked the clerk what they were called. This is what the abbreviation is.

Nike Sweet cl hi dnm gy/bl

Thanks in advance :)

It's a Nike Sweet Classic High-top, denim edition, Grey and Black.

Apparently after a quick Google search they are kinda rare, past style. Hard to find that exact one in your size overall. It's the denim thats hard to get.

These are kind of similar but they are leather like most of the Sweet Classics these days:



If I were you I'd call whatever store you were at, Champs, Footlocker whatever at different locations relatively close to you and see if they have your size.

Grey/Volt Kobe's look nice.

On a related note, the new KD6's were announced:

They take the soccer inspiration from those Mambacurial's to an excessive level.

I got a pair a champ's a couple months ago. maybe you'll be lucky? They're not bad, but they seem to run a little tighter than my vintage blazers.

Not a fan of the first KD6 Colorway. DMV on the KDV was awesome. But I'm sure they'll have some really good Colorways. The 5s had the DMV, Aways, Aunt Pearl, N7, All Star and Splatters.

They've shown blurry pics of the Lebron 11s, aka the $200 shoes.

It's pretty clear Nike puts no effort into the Durant or Kobe lines. Sure the Lebron line is expensive as hell, but at least the shoe actually looks like they worked hard on it.

Kobe 8 were my favorite of last fall's signature line. X-Mas, BHM, Easters, Purple Fades, YOTS Black were all sought after.

Kobe 8s were very comfortable, a decent price ($140) and had some good Colorways. The only two knocks were the supply and the lack of normal color blocking on IDs, which would've caused a huge spike in sales.

The Lebron X were the most disappointing out of the three due to the color blocking. The only shoes that sold out were the Pure Platinum and Corks. The WTH, Suedes and Denims will do gang busters due to hype and limited numbers. But most of the colors/models were lack luster compared to the 9s. There was also the $180 price tag. I really did like the ID options, just wish it had graphic options like the KD X-Mas, YOTS Kobe's, etc. The X definitely had the best tech, comfort and performance. It was just the looks.

KDs were an awesome price. The quality was the worst out of the three. It definitely had some good color ways.

Nike only puts effort in getting $$$ with the Elite prices, limited releases and climbing 2013 Signature line prices.

I dunno about those 11s...

They need to get back to the ideas behind the 7/8/9, of making a shoe that can be both an excellent hoops/training shoe and an excellent lifestyle/casual shoe.

The colorblocking seems potentially better than the 10s already, though.

Picked up two pairs of shoes.

Puma's for the gym -

I've had my eye on these J.Shoes for a while and I finally managed to pick them up. Love them.

I'm probably the biggest Lebron Shoe fan on the board but I don't know. It's probably that USFish Colorway. I think out of the gate they have to kick in the teeth of the b-ball shoe buying public. Let them know this will help win dunk contests and cause necks to turn.

Well, they've shown concepts of all three sigs. And each is $15-$20 more than the previous year.

Might be a silly question, but where's the best place for Kobe's?

I do want to pick up the mabacurials and was curious as to where's the best place to cop.

Thanks.

Cool thanks. Dick's will be opening up at the end of the month in my town so I should have some time. Nike Store here in SF is currently a pop-up so I'm not sure if they'll be carrying them at all...

I may swing down by the mall to check Foot Locker once I get home from work.

I'm not sure how limited the Mambacurials will be. The Purple Gradiants sold fast.
But who know show the Venices will do.

If you try hard enough, it'll be possible unless the only place to buy is Nike Store (online) or Nike Town.

Black Toe Jordan 1's and the Undefeated Dunks for me this weekend. Really hope the campout at SF isn't too bad. I heard there were 100+ pairs for each store for the white/gum releases. It's pretty awesome that the resellers had to eat those these pairs, seeing as it isn't 2005 anymore and I don't think anybody gives a shit about Dunks.

On a sidenote, I really wonder who has the best shit on this forum? I'll post up my favorite 5 pairs later on in the week.

Transaction queued? Meaning you'll have some socks in your cart and when you add your size switch to the queued transaction and hit buy?

WTF So the Bred XI's will be Champs retail only on the 25th?

http://www.copthesekicks.com/?p=2224

They were released today for one day only in Champs that are located in the Mall of America?

But the update doesn't state if any websites are confirmed on selling the XI's.
Is there any other site with new news on stores that confirmed selling the XI's on the 25th?

Arcade Sticks on the other hand. That's my shit.

I'm pretty much done for the year on new releases except for maybe the black grapes and Laney Vs (blue/yellow my fave color combo)...

So I'm going to go on the hunt for some things... Namely...

  • Air Max 97 - Kashimas
  • Air Force 1 Premium - PlayStation

Wish me luck ._. !

Good luck man!

Once I get my Retro 88's I don't really see anything for me this year. I'm sure something will come up that I want.

I got what you were saying. I haven't bought any Jordans on RD since the silver anniversary COs, so I've been outta the loop. Plus I don't want to have to deal with raffles and what not.

Anyway, I heard the Bred 1s are coming back out this year...the link is up on FNL but there aren't any pics.

yeah, until i met with a reseller this year, i hadn't bought a pair of jordans (retail or otherwise) since the '06 mars blackmons came out, so i've been really out of the loop as well. i felt like i got a dickish response out of nowhere, when all i was doing was throwing my two cents out there that could maybe help you. the other dude didn't even offer you any advice.
