Wow. Thanks for the tip. I'm gonna try this for the Oreo 5 release.
Sole Supremacy Beater Box came in: I'm pretty happy but I was wondering how you guys think I fared. I paid 600 for the box (10 pairs size 12-13).
(from top to bottom, left to right. Let me know if I messed up a name)
Total Air Foamposite Max "Tim Duncans" - great condition, look near ds
Lebron IV Black/Red/Crimson - great condition, look near ds
Jordan 3 - Bright Crimson - some creasing but great condition
Jordan 13 - Altitudes - these are really beat up, going to take a bit of work to get them back to their former glory. Lots of creasing on the toe as well as some repaint needed on the black leather.
Spizike - True Blue (I think) - good condition but dirty from wear, should clean up great.
Jordan 4 - Military blue - Needs a good cleaning and has some creasing on the toe but should look great once cleaned.
Nike Air Force S.T.A.T. - I think these are dead stock
Jordan 20 - Stealth - needs a cleaning, small tear on the back of the right ankle loop.
Air Jordan 2 - Carmelo's - super beat up, both soles are coming unglued. Will have to put in some work on these. Looking forward to see if I can fix em.
Nike Air Griffey Max 1 - these look dead stock as well

Thanks for the tip man, still came up empty though. Spammed the search and nothing came up, then got the whole 30 seconds refresh finishline garbage, then it worked again, still nothing, so I decide to scroll through the search pages, and it was on the 4th page of items, and sold out, ugh. I have no idea why it wouldn't pop up on the 1st search page at the top haha, or even right under the fire red 3.
NDC same as usual, and I tried Footlocker instead of Eastbay, and it's the same deal.
Oh well, it's just shoes, and I got an extra $200 in my pocket.
Still appreciate the help though.

Hmm not bad. So basically 60$ a shoe. Using that as base, I can definitely see you making a profit off some if these. I'd rate it a 8/10.
I see he has some boxes going for 800$. I think I'll try for that one if it's still up by December.

Finishline posted the shoes early. They both sold out quickly.
Nike store sold out in a minute thanks to the bits and bots.
Foot Locker and crew were the same shenanigans (script or continually add to the cart).
This was a really limited release. 5s weren't even sold online except for fringe stores.

Been on a sneaker binge on eBay.
Got some deadstock Reebok Answer IV 2012 retros (the white and black ones that Tyronn Lue got stepped over in), some freshwater Air Max Griffey 1 2011 retros in near deadstock condition, and some near deadstock blackout Lebron 9s - all on deep discount.
Now, I think I'm going to get a pair of Reebok Answer 1s in the OG black/white/gold colorway, a pair of Air Max 1s (I haven't had a pair since the 'silver bullet' AM97s back in the day)...
...and then I think I'm going to pay a reseller for a pair of Royal 1s. I can't get over not getting them. I need them, and then I think I'm done with sneakers until 2014.

No you're not. You know you need this.
And Royal 1s are the shit. Definitely my favorite release of the year... until the bred 1s come out.

Hoping Nike's new, new revisions to the RSVP system give us all a better chance against those bots:

That "Terracotta Warrior"/China 11 is the first time I looked at these shoes and was like "wow".
Mind you, I like the blue and gray one that they have pictures on on Niketalk...but this one specifically just has me kinda open. I might cop these if they can come off that $200 retail. Nike is really bashing people over the head for these new shoes now.

Bit the bullet on some sz. 9 Mambacurials off ebay... Glad shipping was free because ugh, the $290 price tag hurts knowing that these shoes were only $140.
Oh well, I'm sure my regret will disappear once I have these on hand as they were my personal favorite release of this year. As much as I want the green glow 4s, I'm okay without owning them.

Why does Tennessee not have a Nike store? Time to move back to Atlanta...

They set an absurd fiscal goal, for the next few years.
So prices will continue to go up.
These are mine.
Fuck, best pic I've seen of the Parachute Golds. I also must have these.
I really, really like this shoe. I want all three colorways shown so far. Any ideas on how hard these will be to get? Are these limited or will I be able to walk into a footlocker and pick them up?

Just here to confrim Jason Markk is legit it made my all black free-runs look brand new. Didn't even need to buy the brush with it.
Am I the only one that thinks these don't look good at all? I prefer the black red and parachute CWs over these ones. Something about this CW feels off to me =/
AbsurdG3nius

I'm definitely a huge fan of Markk's stuff for leather and suede - surprising how well it works considering it doesn't damage the material itself.
Speaking of surprising, and not sure if it's been mentioned before, but I've also been using Mr. Clean Magic Erasers on the soles/mid soles of various kicks - makes em look brand new. I'm already using those things all over the house, now I keep one in my shoe kit as well. The eraser does create s bit of a mess as it breaks down, but it's definitely worth having to sweep the floor considering how pretty your sneaks look afterwards.

Hmm sounds good will give it a shot when I get the chance.

Is a toothbrush good enough to brush your sneaks with the Jason Markk or are there better options. It worked fined for my free runs but I'm a little hesitant to use it on my other sneaks.
I have these being delivered to me today; decided to try them out since everyone's been on me about the Roshes

I used the brush that was included w the JM pack, but I keep a soft bristled toothbrush and a $2 sponge in my kit as well.
I used the toothbrush method for a while but the brush that comes with the Markk cleaner makes cleaning WAYYY easier, j

I just bought a bottle. Gonna run the gauntlet on all of my shoes lol.
Read the OP man, I sing the praises of JM and Magic Erasers.
Magic Erasers are perfect for spot cleans and touch-ups between full cleans.

Did that earlier today alot of them look brand new.

Sorry I missed out on your solid advice earlier, Slizz. I was cleaning some scuff marks off the entry way wall a couple months ago w/ a magic eraser and my AM90s were sitting there looking drab - 10 mins later I'd given up on the original chore and started pulling all my beat up sneaks outta the closet.

On vacation in New York but was able to get the Black Tongue Fire Reds.
Just mad I didn't get to do instore where I'm able to get a discount. Going to invest in a discover card like a lot of the Nike Talk faithful.

DC has a 50% off promo for their sale stuff online, so I bought a pair of of these for $18.49.
My last shoes that I bought (Nike SB Salazar LR) split around the edge of the sole only a few months after I got them, definitely a bummer, especially when my feet got all wet during a weird early-May snowfall. Anyway, I've never had any DCs, so hopefully these hold up.

My first attempt at a sneaker restoration. I repainted areas of the shoe that were scratched/scuffed up and worked on getting rid of the toe box creases which were really bad. I think I need to add a bit of duller or a flat coat, any feedback, suggestions or idea would be very welcome.

Scratch that, where can I buy these?

Good thing I didnt take the BC3 trade, apparently we are good for 88 Black Cement 3s this year. And I thought I'd be done with the Black/Red 1s.
Spiderjericho
Member
Hopefully, it's not as terrible a release as the 88s. Online only made it difficult to cop them. Also the price was dubious.
I want 2!!

Review of Lebron 11s. At first I wanted the black reds but after seeing this video, i'm no longer feelin' it. The black surrounding the red parts are kind of turning me off on it.
These parachute golds though. God damn.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxwydHE9swQ
I'll probably end up buying both lol.

okay gaf, i'm finally gonna pick up a pair of roshe runs.

I'm only getting the Golds if it's retail or below. So far, no one knows if they will be limited like the Gold Medals or Crown Jewels. Honestly, I felt like I got burned out on the Xs. I bought all of the GRs. Felt like a "fan" scooping them up but then as usual Nike does their limited QS nonsense with the Corks, Denim, Hazelnut, Black Mints, Crown Jewels and Gold Medals. It was a little off putting. And the other issue I have is the ever increasing prices of sneakers.
The XI wills be $200. Can't wait to see what they charge for special themes like All Star Game, Black History Month, etc. And they've confirmed that there will be an Elite line, so now we're looking at $280-$300.
Can't wait till Nike starts seeing the $$$ with Roshe Runs. Kevo_Huevo, the Freddy Krueger Camos, Blue/Pink Camos and Grey ones are nice.
I feel like I'm done with the Runs for now. I like the simpler ones but all of the future releases seemed to be themed.
kevo_huevo
Member
I wanted to go with a more subtle print for the runs. IMO I think the pink/blue camo looks better on the lunarglide 5s
Also hate the QS releases. People will pick them up regardless of the manufactured hype they give the shoe or not. There's absolutely no reason for QS releases other than building up hype. And i've decided on picking up the Parachute Golds, they just look too good. I'm just hoping that it's not a limited release. The XIs will be around $270 here in Canada
Hate collecting shoes sometimes, the prices just get so out of hand at times.Spiderjericho

Speaking of QS. Just tried to buy the New Balance Hyprcats from Bodega. Struck out hard.
New Balance limited releases seem more difficult than Nikes'. At least there's House of Hoops, multiple online retailers, etc. With New Balance, it's fringe boutiques in select markets (New York, LA, Boston, etc or Europe) and online boutiques that have scattered size runs and terrible server infrastructure.

I'm so happy I pulled the trigger when I had seen them in my size at/in a German webstore. They are just so good-looking.
