This weekend, the Jericho is going for Retro 88s, Black Toes and Kobe 8 Venice Beach.
I think I'm burned out on Lebrons (two are dropping this weekend) after they shot the price up $100. I'd like to get the Home Elites but, my Foot Locker won't let me double down on the military discount and birthday. Finishline will only take $40 due to WC and $20 off.

Is there a dead set confirmation on which shoes & which stores, online or retail, will be getting what tomorrow?

I think this site is what I was going by, if you scroll to the bottom you can click on the other restocks also. Looks legit?

Today's haul, courtesy of the AIRMAX Hunt SF, Kicksdeals.com, and Nike.com's "Bankshot" clearance sale:
Definitely going to try and grab those Undefeated Dunks this weekend as well, though I have no idea how I'm going to fit today's cops in my closet as it is. Hopefully people will be distracted by the restocks and the J1 "Black Toes" to care about the "Bring em back" Dunks.

Nice Air Maxes. Not a fan of the AJ1 mids, though I am tempted to buy the Breds in July.
Today is the calm before the storm.

I gotta get those Retro 88 3s.
Don't really care about anything else (though it's nice that the fire red 5s are available too; I wanted those and the grapes).
Someone tell me about the Kobe 8s...I never had a pair of those, but they're starting to grow on me. How do they fit?

So every place I called in my area did a raffle earlier this week. Looks like I'll be trying my luck online for those Black Toes.
EDIT: When did we get put in Community?

Damn those grey and blue dunks in the back are sweet. What are they called? In the hope I'd ever see those in mainland Europe.Today's haul, courtesy of the AIRMAX Hunt SF, Kicksdeals.com, and Nike.com's "Bankshot" clearance sale:

They're actually Jordan 1 Mids in matte silver and laser purple - can still be had at nike.com, but you should try your luck on ebay as well - seems to be a ton of them out there for under retail.

Going to Daly City for dinner; figure these would be appreciated there. First time wear!!!
Nice concords!
The Footlocker in DC is supposed to have the Black Toes as well - gonna' make an attempt?

Looks like it's online for me. I didn't get a chance to participate in the Black Toe raffle at Foot Action.
I digress. Best advice is try Kobe 8s on. I wear 11.5 but usually get a 12 because the 11.5 is pretty tight.
And hopefully the pair tomorrow isn't the one you're interested. Probably one of the worse color ways. I'll be buying it for completeness. Best color ways, IMO, were the Purple Gradient, Sulfurs and BHM/Easters/Christmas (depending on your taste).

Currently I'm liking the red camo, the blue glow, and the pythons.
The black Elites are pretty tough too...
I'll go try them on. I wear size 10 for Jordans, Lebrons and other narrow shoes (otherwise, 9.5).

Gonna try my luck with the usual, finishline and eastbay. They may be similar in numbers to the Royals but less demand, so I hope I have no trouble.
Couple of places have em for low to mid 200, but I have a lot of Finishline rewards I need to use soon.

Only have my laptop. Wish I had my desktop and multiple monitors for the festivities this morning.
Bought a pair of the VB Kobe 8s online. Now, I just need 88s and Black Toes.

Yeah, not having luck so far. NDC sold out.

Missed out on the 88s on Nike Store and Foot Locker and family.
Oh well, I'm not heart broken just disappointed. I should've tried harder on Feb 6.
At least the Kobe's are a consolation prize.

Shut out on the black toes and 88's. It really is amazing how terrible these websites are setup these days.
Not too big a deal, since I already have the 2011 cements, and kinda decided last minute I wanted the black toes. Maybe I'll swing by the mall later and try my luck. Probably a waste of time though.

Never know. When the Chicago AJ1 dropped, I missed out online and was able to find two pairs locally. I think this is going to be different though.

Fucked up by oversleeping. Then I got through on finishline at like 8:18am, two minutes after they sold out. If its money saved then hopefully I can use it on the black grapes.

Got the cement 3's off NDC. Got the order in the first 15 seconds ahead of the flood gates.
Couldn't get black toes but w/e, I didn't really care that much for it.

Dude, the same guy keeps cock blocking me in the store. He brings his kids and girlfriend so they count as one person each. He's been thwarting me in buying the Kobe's. I'm lucky the Lebrons are produced in greater numbers or he'd be swallowing up those too.
Today was a rough day for shoe buying. Struck out online. And I had to go to two malls to track down my size in Kobe 8 Venice Beach, aka Crayolas/Slurpees.
Nike is making it hard out here. But they're smart in keeping the demand going. I'd like to say money saved on the restocks but another Kobe drops next week and then we have the Black Grapes and Lebron EXTs.

Man...today just totally killed my love for sneakers, I'm probably gonna stay outta this thread from now on. Hope to see some of you guys on the Gaming side or something. Peace.

The link for the black toes on finishline was out since last night but i woke up at 7:58 and by the time I was on finishline at 8:02 I got the counter. Apparently people were able to order as early as 7:55am. I didnt hear my alarm ring.

I"m not a huge fan of the Kobe 8's but this colorway is pretty neat. Sort of tempted to get my first pair of Kobe's

That's nothing, try getting robbed when wearing Jordans or getting beaten when standing in line for a release at retail.
Jordan fans are hardcore.
Picked up a pair of Brenda Rose 3s for 40% off. I have absolutely no intention of balling in them but the materials are top notch and it was love at first sight.
My last 3 pickups have been bball shoes and I REALLY need to stop buying them...chunky basketball kicks are not generally my thing

Perhaps this would be a good time to take a break from Nike and start looking at other brands?

Addidas are junk, Reebok are junk. Not much else unless you start going into luxury brands.

even the hype luxe sneaks are being sucked up by resellers. Common projects and its ilk seem to be mostly immune but they are pretty low key.

Got an order in for the Nike x Undefeated "Bring Back 2003" hi dunk. First hi dunk I own, heh.
Website is getting wrecked at the moment but I am sure you can still get one right now if you are patient.

Other brands include Ewings, Reebok Classics, Reebok Answer, Reebok Shaqs, New Balance, Asics, Addidas, Pumas, etc. Nike isn't the only game in town. Though they do have a choke hold. All the excitement today was from Nike.

These days Adidas has some of the best quality out of the "affordable" brands.
Have to agree, bought a couple of pairs to beat up and was happy with the quality. They've taken a beating and you can barely tell. Really like the busenitz pro but you have to cut the tongue. Comfortable and took a beating.
It really is just my opinion on the looks. I hate most addidas besides the classics.

How comfortable are the D-roses Adidas ? I'm liking the blue and pink ones.
