Better late than never...
How much did you pay for them? I want a pair but ebay prices still suck.
Better late than never...
Nice! Trying to find a good deal for a pair, not on my must buy list but it's on my eventually own list.

In my opinion, if anyone wants to get the black toes, I would just get the bmp pack. I believe you can find a few for 350$ so that basically 175 a shoe which I think is the better deal than 220$ for one shoe. I bought them a few years ago before the insane price hike in retro shoes when the celtic ones sold for less than 100$ lol. Then again, some of you might like the white tongue better.

Speaking of the BMP pack, just last week someone on offered it to me for 300 DS. I passed as I already have the pack [size 8 so I cant fit] but to be honest, I'd still rather pay ~200 for the Nike Air black toes. The shape is much better and they are a true high top. Not only that but you are getting the Nike Air treatment, worth the extra 50 bucks if you ask me. Although if I did have it, I would most definitely do the tongue swap for the black tongue.
BTW if any of you guys are between a size 8-11 this dude gives amazing deals on old 99-04 retros and even OGs. I bought a pair of DS 02 Raptors off of him last week for 240. That's what most people ask for the 2012 inferior retro. [I just sold mine for 180] I just fucked up big time yesterday when I missed out on 01 Black Cements for 350. Dude is legit, just be careful about wearability, some shoes age horribly like the AJ4 from 99. This dude has the best prices I've seen on the net. He also has an ebay account but doesn't post everything he has there [also charges more to make up for the ebay fees]. He lives in Tokyo so he often posts between 12am-3am EST, most shoes are gone within minutes.
Just right now he had 2X AJ7 olympics from 2004 for 189 shipped.
I don't have a pair to help you out but if you don't find a trade partner I recommend putting another pair of insoles in them. I have space jams in a size 11.5 even though I wear 11. I cut some insoles to fit on top of the ones they come with and now the shoes are pretty snug.
I can't help you out, but that's awesome! I'm also wearing Jordan's/Nike's to my wedding next year. Right now it's between the black cement 3, bred 6, or some af1 id's. I've also considered tracking down a pair of black cat 3's.
Hmm good call. Will do it if I can't get a trade out.
Black Cement 3s would be slick. I'm buying my best men some Jordans to wear to the reception too. Already picked up Chicago 1s for one of them, then getting Taxi XIIs later on this year.

That's awesome! That was my original plan as well, but then Cole Haan came out with the Lunargrands and I wore a suit instead of a tux. Definitely the most comfortable "dress shoes" I've ever worn.
Those Concords are still sitting deadstock in the box.
I can't get over how good this shoe looks. So good. If money isn't tight when these come out, i'm definitely getting one.
It is definitely a great looking shoe. Some more nice pics here.
Another nice pic. I'm copping for sure.

Damn those are really nice, but not enough to make me go through any waiting in line or waking up at 6 am with a bunch of online stores open bullshit. Y'all are dedicated and all, but too bad I can't just go to a store whenever is convenient and pay money to buy shoes I like.

Those are great Lunargrands. Planning on getting myself a pair of those sometime in the coming year.

The banned/bred 1s finally have a release date. I believe I'm not working on that day so I'm debating if I should camp out or go 3-4 hrs earlier. The scene is pretty small here but really dumb because someone camped out for the toro's lol and no one knew about the shadow 1s. I'll probably camp because these are way more popular than the shadows.
Only problem I see with the Lebrons is what to wear with it. Looks like it's gonna be a summer only shoe for me, don't see how I can wear it with jeans. There's also a bred version in the works, might get that pair instead but the parachute golds are just... wow. It's so beautiful.
Just saw that, the lineup for these are gonna be crazy. I'll most likely be camping out all night for them in -10 degree weather, just lovely.

Thanks. I wear those or the grey suede/volt sole wingtips to just about every formal event now. Definitely gonna' be in trouble if Nike's sale of the Cole Haan brand to APAX brings an end to those comfy kicks.

I've been in the mood for a new pair, but haven't really found anything [affordable] that clicks for me. Almost picked up a second pair of the Solarsoft mocs in dark purple/neon pink to go with the orange ones I got a few months back, but I just couldn't get excited enough to pull the trigger.

I'm going to get some of those wing tips. They're buttery.
I didn't even bother trying to get a raffle ticket for the Lebron X Championship Pack. My motivation went to 0 when I kept missing out on the EXTs.
Plan on going to Foot Locker to check out the Kobe 8 PPs.
Next week, it's time to Glow in the dark, grab a can of graffitti and whatever else.

I received my brush and shoe cleaner today from Jason Markk. I was skeptical on how well it would clean my shoes. I tried it on my Janoskis and it cleaned them right up. I was surprised because I wear these a lot and they have not been cleaned since I got them. There were a few small marks that could not be cleaned but overall I am really satisfied. I think if I had the cleaner when I first bought my shoes and used the cleaner regularly then they would be like new. I recommend trying this out if you need a shoe cleaner, works on everything including suede.

What do you know I just bought it a few days ago from pys. The official site charges a shit load for shipping while pys has free shipping. I hope I get similar results, none of my shoes are really in bad condition though. Just need it for some casual cleaning once in a while.

So do you pretreat your shoes? Stain and rain resister, etc?
I'm so lazy. I'll probably get the Marks.

Yeah, the shipping costs are horrible. If your shoes are in good condition then you should have good results with them. I got my Janoskis about 3 months ago and just cleaned them a couple of times the first month. I live in the country so they have been exposed to pretty much everything.
Personally, I don't do any of those things. I just plan to clean my shoes more regularly now.

Got my 2002 raptors in the mail today. (Got em in 2 days shipped from japan) Extremely satisfied, the materials are excellent and the shape is superior to the 2012 retro. Much slicker look, the 2012 retro as with all the 2010+ AJ7 retros looks bulky.
Again i purchased these from gustodaninja via paypal. Highly recommend you guys check out his instagram for great deals on older retros.

Not me, but I do clean my shoes regularly. Definitely get Jason Markk though.
Fear pack coming out in a couple of weeks, don't know if i'm not gonna pick up anything. At first I wanted the 5s but I don't know anymore =/ Not really feeling the 3s and 4s either.
He has good stuff but not in my size lol Sucks being a small guy.

Loving those floral Solarsofts!
Anyone copping the new NB x Herschel collabs? Missed the boat on the previous 420's, but I think the grey ones in this release are pretty sweet!

I want the Fear pack but seriously Green Glow 4s one week, Fear Pack (3 shoes) the next week then the Fire Red 5s. I buy other shoe lines, so Nike is punishing my wallet. Honestly, the only one I really want are the Fire Red (but then again, I have the 2013 earlier release, the 3s, 4s, etc).
I wish I could've gotten the Lebron X Championship Pack. But the aura of evil surrounding that shoe was insane. Vigilantes disrupting RSVP services and exposing the shadiness of certain Nike Towns. Foot Locker employees getting fired for throwing the shoe on ebay and showing their badge in the store stock room. The shoe selling out in 3 minutes and Nike probably going to cancel orders. Surprised there hasn't been a death. Consumerism at its finest. Thanks Nike.
And I'd like to get those NBs, but my pocket has been punished lately and my New Balance fetish had to take a back seat. I still need to get the Burgundy 990s.
Anybody looking for the Black Floral Janoskis can get them here.

Gotta catch 'em all!
Which one of those do you prefer to wear? I'm waiting on the trade for the BC3s till the guy gets back from vacation
I have no idea about sneakers, but recently bought my second pair of these:
Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra 2. Great to wear in all situations, both at work and on the mountain. And I love the "quicklace". My first pair lasted a year of heavy use.
Edit: I don't even know if these are sneakers or not. But they're shoes, that much I know.

I don't usually buy NB (one have one pair), but I just preordered the grey pair from urban outfitters. Found a 10% off coupon online, so they weren't too expensive. I like the details on them.

That's pretty much all you need. The OGs are the best colors.
But I won't lie. I wish I could have got the DB3s. And I'm on the fence on the Legends. It's such a toss up of which shoe I like more, 3s or 4s. I will say they went a little HAM with the 4s. :/
Bred 3s are the best Jordans to me, so definitely those. WCs, True Blues & then Fire Reds is the order for me.

Are those the Mango V2s? If so, I ordered a pair 2 weeks ago.
My Roshe collection has exploded recently. I got the black/gray, team red, Blue Hero, sport red, iguana, pink/blue Camo, gray Camo and Yeezy inspired IDs.
They're mad comfortable. Definitely the summer shoe right now along with Kobe 8s. Though, Nike is starting to flood the market with some meh concepts.
