I quite like them. If I weren't broke I'd probably get a pair. I'll just hope they've got enough stock to last until the money comes in. Although 3 pairs in 2 months might be a bit ludicrous.
I had no idea Flatspot was run from a tiny little town in Devon up until recently. I was down there about a month ago and I spotted a couple of pairs of skate shoes as I was walking up the street, between all these tiny little independent shops and market stalls. A skateshop was the least likely shop I was expecting to see knocking about in those parts so I darted over to have a look and they had a pair of digi-florals in the window. Needless to say, I was pretty shocked as my 2 local skateshops had sold out nigh on instantly. So I went in under the assumption that the pair in the window are a weird size and it'll be the last of the stock but I thought I'd probably be able to flog them to somebody up the other end of the country if they'd gone that quickly originally. However it was quite the opposite and it turned out they had quite a few sizes left and even half sizes which my local skateshops never seem to stock and so I ended up coming out with a perfect fitting pair of the digi-florals a month after release. It was a glorious day.

They're stingray, although I am not sure if it is just a textured leather effect or actual skin.

Keep them goddamn clean. First day I wore them, some mush stepped on the toes on the street and I can't get them back to their former glory.
I also might pick up those blue low top dunks... £40 incl shipping is great value... the only problem being I don't have the £40 really...

Thank you, sir! I picked up the Nike SB Dunk Low in Grey/Red as well.
My next and probable last sneaker purchase in this year will be the Air Max 90 OG re-release in original color if it is still available in August.

Some Supreme x Comme Des Garcons digital camo Vans come out tomorrow I believe.

Fuck I hate having wide feet. Such limited options and then you usually have to drop big bills.
Yep. RIP.
I can't wear the Nike x Undefeated. Too narrow. Goodbye future Nike dunk purchases.

You could always buy SBs, the fit is wider.

nope..
Yeah, they are selling them on dover street market online (a uk store), but you had to give your email address in advance. Supply is so limited that they used the emails as a lottery, I didn't get one though
And they are fucking expensive so I'm not sure I would have gone for it even if I did get the email. They look great though, I think.
I like these ones most

^^^^ Damn man if only the tongue wasn't so big I'd buy those KD's.
I think the wovens comfort is amazing.. The only thing id say is buy half a size up if you like a bit of extra space. I bought on size and are a snug fit, which personally i like.

Tried Roshes in store yesterday. Pretty bad fit if you have wide feet. The Flyknits fit pretty well though if I went up half a size.
This is really great news. NDC was always my best bet to grab new releases before the script kiddies started messing with the system. Hopefully it really is better. Still pretty salty about not getting black toes.
whew, i thought they were getting rid of artificial demand for a second

I don't see where it says they've technologically created a level playing field. It just says if they "think" you've used a script or application, they can cancel your order.
This doesn't address the root of the issue. The artificial demand/hype they, themselves, have created. The current supply/demand is what's leading to this reseller/hype beast arms race.
I've missed out on the Corks, Denims and most likely the Hazelnuts. I guarantee if those shoes were supposed to retro. I'd lol if they made them a regular GR.

So is anyone getting the Black/Shadow Grey 1s that come out next Saturday? I'm tempted, but you guys have sold me on Roshe's, so I've been looking for a pair of the black woven ones.

I got those Denim Xs.
Leather tongue a little irritating.

Nike's never getting rid of the artificial demand. Doing that doesn't benefit them.
Doesn't sound like they changed a single thing??

Just tried to RSVP for the Mike's AM 95s here in SF - been refreshing the NikeSF twitter feed for the past hour and caught the RSVP tweet 3 seconds after it had been posted (per Twitter's timeline) and STILL HAD NO LUCK. It's not like I'm a 9 or 10 - I wear size 11 - I thought if there was ever a chance I'd score, this would be it.
Definitely not convinced anything's changed.

Been doing some cleaning over the weekend, too hot to really do anything worthwhile, and I came across an Air Force 1 '07 box. Checked inside and what do I find...
No idea I still had another pair, thought I trashed them a while ago. Played a lot of ball with this pair and they held up really well. One pictured is more beat up than other shoe, couple of scuff marks near the swoosh, and another scuff near the ball of the toe. Not bad all things considered.

Sweet find! They look to be in great condition to me!

I haven't had any luck on the Lebron X EXTs.
It's kind of made me lukewarm to buying any more of the line. I went HAM initially. Except for the Crown Jewels and Gold Medals, I bought every release (2 purrs). But lately, this hype "approach" Nike has taken with the MVPs, Denims, Hazelnuts, 2 Championships and Black Mints is ridiculous.
And their "new" policy seems to be the same as their old policy. People are still able to use bots.

How do roshes fit?
Everywhere I have looked, people have said true to size.
Ordered my first pair of them this morning

I have two pairs from the store and an ID. They fit true to size. But you could always go to Champs or Finishline and try a pair on.
Very comfy shoes.

I saw that.
Almost put those in my cart too, but they were too small for me.
All the KDs were back, and Foams too.
Which foams? Don't say the stealth.... Please don't
Please don't say the 88's either....Which foams? Don't say the stealth.... Please don't
From what I remember it was the Pink, Camo, White and Blue/Grey. Also had Barkley Posites.
88's were also restocked.

Full list of that NDC restock via pictures at sneakerwatch
Tried grabbing the KDs and the Black Toes, but everything in my size was gone in minutes.
Did manage to grab those 83/30s from Shoe Palace earlier this week, though. Perfect summertime kicks.
