So, it doesn't really make sense if I don't like Jordans but I do like the Supra Vaider and Skytop, right?

Nice organization. It seems wear 9.5 with some being size 9. I do the same, some shoes like the 4s, 5s and 13s are .5 too big so I go with a 9. But with others like the 9s, 11s, Sb dunk and am90 they fit just right. I hate having extra space so Ive had to figure out how each shoe fits before I make a purchase. With my failure to pick up any of the OG 1s this year so far, can you let me how they fit? Im gonna get a pair of royals later this year (when I can hopefully find a good price or a trade bait).
Sounds like we have pretty similar feet, because my preferred size for IV's and V's are 9's, but everything else is 9.5. I like to have a little room, so my Royal 9.5's feel perfect. However, I got a pair of Black Toe 1's in a 9, and they're not too snug.

Air Force 1 Low, white/gum
The last time Nike Sportswear dropped an Air Force 1 Low in white leather with a gum sole was 2011, when the summery vibes were cranked up even further with a tablecloth-ish gingham sockliner and another in honor of a streetball legend. This new Nike Air Force 1 Low the extra details for a more pristine look that is essentially the immortal white-on-white plus gum. Youve got two of the all-time classic aesthetics side by side, a surefire summertime hit that could be one of the seasons most desirable general releases, so check back with Sneaker News for release info after you see more shots below.

Anyone interested in the red Yeezy 2 thats supposed to release later this year? The shoe itself looks alright but to be honest the only reason Im considering camping out (if allowed) would be to trade for the black/solar red or platinums from last year.

I kinda am, there's a rumor Kanye's putting raffle tickets for purchasing the Yezzy's at retail price in 1,000 Yeezus albums.

Whoa... I was already considering picking up a physical copy of Yeezuz so man, it'd be crazy to actually win a pair this way.

Head of Nike marketing said they are releasing Yeezy 2's later in the year.

After last week's Lebron and the insanity, I'll just leave the Yeezy to the campers. The one rumor (which probably isn't true) is there are only 1,000 pairs.
I heard the album raffle rumor, which would be cool. But then again the person buying the CD might not want the shoes.

Both anticipating & dreading going after the mambacurials on Friday.
Was going to try the Foot Locker raffle but it's no where near me. Then I figured I should try to see if the San Francisco Niketown will be getting them but since they're in their popup location... I guess I'll still watch twitter though I'll be waking up early on Friday morning to see if I can buy them off the online store.
Why does being a size 9 suck so bad sometimes?

Mambacurials went quick for NikeSF it looks like. Hope you got in!

Missed the rsvp by 6 min - was working on something. Ah well, I will try my luck online on Friday morning.
Knew that Twitter was gonna be a longshot, but figured what the hell, may as well try. Online was going to be my main. Fingers crossed I can get this otherwise, anyone in this thread willing to help me out?
Thanks.

Finally got me some Roshe's $45
That's an absurd score, hwalker84. Where'd you cop those for more than 50% off?

So I started my sneakers collection. Haha. I previously only had one pair of sneakers, but time changes, I have more money and I want some variety.
Jordan's As You Go
Nike Solarsoft Mocassin
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 13
Jordan's As You Go
I like the color and they fit very feel.
Nike Solarsoft Mocassin
After I saw the picture by a gaffer wearing these shoes, I had no other choice to get them as well. They look sexy in real-life. 10 was a great decision. 11 would be too large.
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 13
So on Monday I went to a sport store to analyze my running. (I started running last week.) The employee recommended me some pairs and when I started running on the treadmill with these shoes, I felt like I was in heaven. Such a good feeling. Not sure if they count as sneaker, but they are sooo good. (Funny face I paid the same price for this pair as I paid for the both above combined)
Finally got me some Roshe's $45
Did these hit outlets or something? I paid retail for these =( =( =(

Those Roshes are tight, mayne - they're growing on me quickly.
If I could score them below retail, I'd get a pair right now!

Amazon had them for $68 and I had $18 left on a gift card. Got them for $49.28

Nice deal. Checked them out on Amazon, yep, I'd have to pay just barely below retail (woes of being a size 9 strike again).
And so, my quest for the Mambacurials will begin tomorrow morning. Hopefully I can score it then. If not... Ugh, I'll try elsewhere.
Thing I hate is that this is a rather normal release in Asia and Europe I believe but a limited run here in the US. :/

Has anyone ever been able to reply in time to score a pair of kicks from their local Niketown via the Twitter hashtag RSVP system?
I've tried probably half a dozen times since they updated the RSVP to include the circled #hashtag image and struck out every time. I'm even getting tweets from @NikeSF sent directly to my phone and I still can't reply fast enough to secure a sz 11.
Well done on the Roshe-Amazon cop, btw. I never think to look there for shoes - definitely gonna' start now!

I've heard mixed results. There isn't a NT in Florida. A lot say the bots are the key to winning or using an RSVP service. Some say they get lucky manually doing it. But it seems hard to comprehend against an automated program (they're so bad the concert industry has no way to deal with them).
I paid $40 over retail to try to get the Mambacurials. I'm working tomorrow and have no way to make it out to the mall. I'll try online, but I already know I'll probably lose out to a machine.

This is what I tried to do yesterday for the mambacurials but apparently 6 minutes late (was working on something) and they then turned off the rsvp 5 minutes afterwards yet I did dm them and got nothing.
Alarm's set for 4:15am tomorrow and I'll have my phone and ipad ready. I really hope I can get it otherwise, I may try dropping over at the popup SF Niketown after work (it's like a 20 min. walk from my office) to see what's up.
If I strike out, hello ebay, unless someone can point me in the direction of other online sellers.
AbsurdG3nius
Member
Have you looked at CrookedTongues.com or EndClothing.com - both in the UK - to see if they'd be getting them? Had some luck with both recently. Granted, you're probably paying $15-20 more due to the excise tax, but CT offers free shipping.
Would also keep an eye on @KicksDeals on Twitter - those guys are usually solid during big launches for keeping an eye on online sellers.
And I thought the whole point of moving to the new image-based hashtag RSVP was so that bots would have a tougher time breaking the system...I love technology, but it can also be a big pain in the @ss.
Auron_Kale

Thanks for the sites and I'll keep an eye out if I strike out in the morning.
Also ditto on the whole RSVP deal. I shouldn't have to be beat out by bots or use a separate service for twitter RSVPs.

Never had any luck with RSVP, and I tried hard for the DB 9s. Really though, it seems like the Jordan hype started to pick up again after the Playoff XI release. Prior to that I had a lot of ease getting anything. Finishline's mobile website would work when their main site had a counter, thats how I got my Fire Red 4s, Raptor 7s and Black Cement 4s. (august-november) I won a raffle for the playoff XIs so I picked those up locally, then again I was able to use the mobile website to get the Thunder 4s. Black/Red 13s were the first ones that didn't work, and all downhill from there with the exception of the 88 3s.
I'm going back to Air Maxes and SBs for a while (with a few exceptions. fire red 5s, black/red 1s, infrared 6s). Really came back to this last year [hiatus since 2007] when JB started dropping a lot of OG color ways of my favorite Jordans. But now I have most of them.

I'm right there with you on those AMs and SBs - I can never have too many 1's, 90's, and Dunks.
Speaking of Dunks, I'm still kicking myself for not scoring those UNDFTD Bring Em Backs from a couple weeks ago - was only following UDSF's twitter feed and the raffle announcement went out on Instagram. Resellers are having a field day lately.
Anyway, good luck to those trying to cop the Kobe's, Viotech's, Foam's and Low 11's this weekend. Think I'll be sitting this one out in favor of lurking kixify.com

Anyone know if the Kobe 8s will be offered in 'Team Bank' (TB) colorways? There simple, almost 'plain, basic' colorways that are usually released near the end of the current Kobe shoe model lifecycle, mostly used for matching a team's jerseys/uniforms for intramural sports.
Kobe 4 TB
Kobe 5 TB
Kobe 6 TB
Kobe 7 TB
I never had a pair of Kobe's before (I got my wife a pair of 5s in Lakers colors though) but I think I'd want to get the 8s in a TB colorway for use at the gym. How low are the soles of the 8s?
Anyways...I'm kinda tempted to get a pair of the Jordan XI pink snakeskins for my wife if 'easy' enough to cop (which I doubt lol =P)

Any SneakerGaf member living in the UK/EU wanna help me out in getting the Mambacurials? Just checked both the UK & Italy site for giggles and they have my size in stock.
Just throwing it out there.
Thanks.

last time i looked they were still available on the online Nike store.. Failing that, give foot locker a try..
We dont seen to go as rabid for our shoes over here so availability stays good for the better releases
yup. Nike.com still have them, as well as the Jordan 11 lows and camo foam pro..

Yeah they do.
Too bad they won't ship to the US, which is what my problem is ATM lol. But yeah, I have a friend who will be visiting London at the end of July who may get them for me but that's assuming stock holds out until then. Otherwise, I told her that if manage to get them for a decent price here in the US, don't bother.
I found it hilarious that in countries where football is huge, the shoes are still available while in the US where soccer is still a blip, the shoes sold out in nine minutes.

I have a cousin in France. I'm trying to con him to buy me the Mambacurials.
Pictures of the XI and the Roshes I bought today are coming soon. Got lucky today with the XI and was able to buy a couple pairs.

Didn't care about the foams. They look exactly like the Fighter Jets except they're the classic U.S. Armed Forces Camo pattern (Pre digital).

Another pick up, AJ 1 RTTG Las Vegas:

Picked it up from Foot Action on sale. It was the last in my size.
More pick ups:

Also spent last night and this morning watching YouTube sneaker addict videos. Just For Kicks was the best production and credibility wise (it had Tinker Hatfield, Run DMC, a few hip-hop luminaries, media relations of Addidas). There were a few others I saw on YouTube but they're a little questionable. It would be awesome for someone to release another after the 2011 Concords, 2012 Yeezy 2s, recent sneaker sale news from Nike, overseas kicks, rappers/famous people getting exclusives or shoes before the public and the burgeoning reseller market.
Other news, I bought 2 pairs of the Kobe Mambacurials from Foot Locker overseas (have a cousin in France). Going to use them as trade bait.

Do you have Free 5.0, Free 3.0, Kobe 8 or Flyknit Lunar for comparison? I'm trying to find the best pillows to walk on (without literally doing so).
So far I like the lunarlon in the Kobe 8. I like the light weight of the Lunars. The 5.0 are okay.

I wonder what could one use to color the white leather black permanently? What do sneaker customizers use? It would look nicer with the black.
Sorry I don't have any of those. I do have one of the older Free's and the Roshe's are definitely better than them. Roshe's and those Solarsoft Moccasins are my most comfortable shoes.
