Just had to take a family pic today.

Very nice!

The Jordan 3 is probably my favorite shoe ever. And although the the OG colorways are the best, and it's probably true they are all you really need, there are still some other colorways worth having. Perhaps if I get unlazy one day I'll take a group shot as well.

Also ordered by first pair of Roshe's the other day, the team reds. Should be here tomorrow.

I'm into the styling on these Roshe GPX, but there's literally nothing I would wear them with.

I'm more of a Nike Training shoes fan. Picked up the Zoom Revis two months ago. Use it mainly in the gym and they are comfortable.

Also got the Nike Air Max 360 Diamond Griffey. Not a fan of the gold trim had to replace the gold shoe laces with black ones and they look better.

Looking to get the CJ81 Trainer Max when it comes out in black later this month.

Just got the Roshes. Pretty stoked on them now, but that seems to be because they go well with the navy chinos I've got on today. I normally wear a lot of browns and khakis. I am however planning on using them for casual running. I was just sick of wearing skate shoes 24/7 haha.

Was suffering buyers remorse after finding out that the Team Red Roshes were more red than burgundy like most of the internet would have me believe.

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.

Yeah, too many kicks dropping this month! I recently found out that the fear 5s are a limited release in Canada and they only drop at HoH Toronto so yeah, fuck that. If it was a shoe I really want then i'd have no problem going there to line up the night before. No clue if Champs is getting it, gonna give em a call tomorow and see if they're getting it.

Resell prices on the Lebrons are ridiculous, seen one on ebay for like 5k lol. Honestly, if I was gonna drop thousands on shoes i'd rather get Yeezys.

And speaking of high tops


Missed out on these last month, gonna see if I can hunt one down this weekend. I loveeee high tops.

That's some hot shit right there. Chino pants/shorts would look great with these.

Just purchased my pair of Royal 1s for 280 [1 of 2 that I've paid over retail for], can't wait to get em. After 6 months, finally.

Niceee. The royals are so good. Royals and Toro 4s are my favorite releases so far this year, head turners for sure.

Changed my must buy this year a bit, Lebron 11s/Oreo 5s/Laney 5s/Bred 1s. Flip-flopping between the 5s, not too sure on which one I should get. Also not sure anymore on the Gamma Blue 11s, the soles on it is really turning me off on the shoe. Also just found out the Lightning 4s are not releasing this year :( Thunder and Lightning combo will have to wait for now...
 
No interest in the Green Glow 4s, Barkleys, Kevin Durant or Kobe's?

Was able to get a pair of the 4s at my local Finishline and use a Winner's Circle reward. Picked up the Kobe's last night.

Next week is going to be crazy with the fear pack.

Was about to post the exact same thing haha. Got my green glows though.


Total impulse buy, woke up at 5 in the morning for some reason and remembered that they dropped today and said fuck it, i'll buy em.

Might buy the 5s next week. or 4s. or both lol. I'm so indecisive when it comes to certain shoes.

I was hyped for the green glows when the first images started leaking, but now I'm just not feeling them. This might also have to do with the fact that if I don't stop buying sneakers soon I won't have a place to sleep.
 
I just picked up the "Letter of Intent" Reebok Kamikaze 2, the Sport Red Roshe Runs (my first Roshes), and the Nike SB Dunk High Pro in birch/hyper red.

Gonna go back to copping Js when those fire red 5s release, lol.

Great taste in Jordan's and bought the Team Red Roshe Runs?

My man, welcome to the team.

haha yea, been wanting a pair of roshe's for awhile, didn't see a colorway I really liked until the team reds. Got them in this week, man they are way comfy. Definite summer shoe.

Passed on the green glows today.

Kinda want the fear 3s, but they are kinda similar to the stealths. If I have the chance though, I'll probably get them.
 
I haven't posted pics lately. It's just so much work with the number of shoes I buy:

Got the Jason Markk cleaner, works great on the 4s I tried it on. You guys can get it from PYS with free shipping and no tax. I got the premium suede brush as well and it is a lot softer than the one included in the kit.

Before:

After:

The Royal 1s came in today, damn they look amazing on feet. If any of you plan on getting em, nows the time (before prices go higher). I was able to find my pair for 280 shipped (still high, I know :/). Quality is great for a 2013 release, no noticeable flaws and the leather is soft and bouncy.

 
Man, that Jason Mark is like the fountain of Youth or that Pimple Cream P.Diddy was using.

And if you want the Green Glows, either try to pay resell now or wait for the next Nike Store restock, which will be INSANE (DB3, Lebron X Championship Pack, Black Grapes, XI Lows, etc).

jason markk is all kinds of cray. i stock up on it whenever I can lol.

Fear pack this weekend! I've decided on picking up the 5s, passing on the 3s and 4s. After that, my next pick up will be the bred Lebron 11s at the end of October. My wallet can definitely use the break lol.

Same here. Holding off on everything until the parachute gold Lebron 11s. Unless there is a dope restock soon.

Yea Jason Markk is magic in a bottle, it cleans up so fast too.

My fiance bought me a sole supremacy beater box for my birthday. I've been tempted for some time after seeing the reddit (r/sneaker) posts and a few YouTube unboxings so this was an awesome surprise. It arrives this Saturday, I'm excited and a bit nervous as to what I might get, the wait is killing me. I can post some pics when they come in if anyone is interested.


Edit: for those that don't know what I'm talking about, this company Sole Supremacy buts together a blind box of sneakers that are a combination of deadstock, slightly worn and needs restoring. What you get inside varies according to how much the box cost with the idea I guess being to clean/resell some and keep the ones you want or just sell them all for a profit. For example this came in this guys box, he paid 549 for 9 pairs - http://i.imgur.com/MAWMquj.jpg

Should I just buy the 8oz Marrk's cleaner or is the brush decent? I know someone mentioned earlier that it wasn't very good.

After the lebrons i'm gonna pick up the Oreo 5s, Gamma Blue 11s then the Bred 1s. Lining up in the cold is gonna be absolutely fantastic.

So hyped for the Fear 5s this weekend, can't wait to get em.

I'm going to skip the Fear 5s. There is only one place near me getting it, and I don't feel like camping. So oh well.

I'll try for the 4s in store and the 3s online. Definite cops for the weekends are the Fear 4s (which are the best out of the pack, 3s are okay and 5s are the hype magnets, since they're the most limited and polarizing) and Kobe 8 Graffiti.

Just ordered some Jason Marks (sp) and the brush (I'll probably never even use it, simply just use a rag).

So I got lazy and never put my name in for the raffle for the fear 3's, but I'm gonna try online. Anyone got any tips for buying online? The last handful of releases I've wanted online, I've been shutout and I'm adding to cart instantly. I usually try ndc and Eastbay, and finishline seems to be totally worthless.

I remember when online releases used to be a cake walk unless it was super limited.

Use m.finishline.com. Make sure you're logged in 10 minutes before they drop. In the search field, spam 'Jordan Retro' a minute or so before they drop. From there, you should see the shoe that you want. Right click and open in a new window. Sometimes it'll open up a page for a completely different shoe. If it does, close that window (for the wrong shoe) and right click on the shoe you want again (on the original page) until it comes up. Then you should be out $170, but with some brand new kicks =)
