December 28, a week after the Gamma 11s. Hopefully everybody goes broke from Christmas and those so I can get the 1s.

Really subtle collab. Not worth it to me.
Not feelin' these at all. Nothing about it makes me say must have. Now that rumored Supreme x Foamposites on the other hand... will pay reseller prices.
Can't find Air Revolutions ANYWHERE in Toronto, have to order them online and pay the customs fee, thanks footlocker! Can't decide between the black ones or the white ones. Zebra print on the black ones are kinda putting me off.
Such a sucker for high tops.

Got some legit wolf grey 5s on eBay for 60$ I personally don't like the Wolf Greys so I'm thinking I will to do a custom job. Ordered some south beach, infrared, and some other paint. Don't know what to do yet though.

Just ordered these off of Zappos
I got Navy Blue instead of black because they weren't available in black. I found a pair on Amazon for $36+ barely used. (like being tried on)
What do you guys think? Navy Blue with brown or Black with brown.

Well. AJV Bel-Air won't be released here in Europe. The other Bel-Airs will. I'm pissed about it because I wanted the Bel-Airs so bad. And seeing it is a pretty hyped release, it will be impossible to cop a pair from a US store. Some European stores saying they will get them later this month. Well. I hope so.

If I manage to scoop a pair, i can send them over for just the cost of item + ship fees. What size are you?
Not guaranteed, but maybe worth a shot.

10.5. I would be in.
I just ordered some 574s, never tried NB before, but man those black ones look real nice. Might have to get a pair of them as well.

The 501s look a bit more sporty. I was looking at the 574s but I fell for the 501s secondly. Also, the 501s look alot better in person and New Balance shoes are great for casual and walking. Never had the 5 series so I'm pretty excited for those to come.
My brother-in-law is getting them, I originally wanted them too but the gf was getting mad that I was spending way too much money on shoes/clothes so I had to cut down and just get the must haves so Lebron 11s/Bred 1s/BC3s for me.
You live in Toronto?

Pit Vipers, Bel Air Vs and Concept Tannery 998.
The Bel Airs were a frustrating release. It took 2 hours to get through on FTL and Co. And the Concepts sold out quick.
Next week the insanity continues with the Lebron XI KOTJ, KD VI Texas and Steel X.

It looks like it will be at a lot of Foot Lockers and online. Doesn't seem any different than a Kobe release.
Definitely want a pair. Right now, it's the only must have color way. The others are okay (Terracota, Away, Gamma Blue and Akron).

Lucky Americans! I really really really want a pair of this shoe. I'm a size 8 and the stores I called are only getting 1 pair of my size

I'm all about Roshe Runs these days. They're so comfy.

It's the same here. However if you live in a major metropolitan city, there are enough stores around that you can have a "shot" at buying a pair. Also, the major web sites will carry them too. So it's not completely hopeless. There's also ordering from overseas if you hate resellers but want to play Russian Roulette with custom and shipping fees.
And Roshes are the truth. I think I have 8 or so pairs (Iguana, Mangov2, Nike iD Kanyeezy, etc).

I saw someone showing of their early release pairs of OG Bred 1s today. Wings were so small...
Got my Lebrons! So happy right now. Had to go to a couple of stores to get them. The first store that was supposedly getting a full size run didn't get a full size run. Booked it to another store on the other side of town to get it.
Will upload better shots later when my brother-in-law takes pictures of em. Such a beautiful shoe.

anyone know of stores that carry the New Balance 501 backpacks? I want to try them on before buying but I can't find them anywhere

Man, I'm tired right now. Tried to buy the Jordan's on Backpack Jimmy and struck out (they must have not or only had one pair of my size).
Then this morning, I got up at 4:30 to wait in line to get a chance at getting the Steel Xs. Before going, I knew that A) only one store in the mall I was going to would have them and B) my chances would be much higher to try to purchase them at Finishline, Nike store and Foot Locker and Co. The only benefit to going to the mall is they allow military discounts, so it obviously can save $10-$50 on a shoe depending on the price.
So, I struck out on the Jordan's this morning. When they got to me, the largest size they had was 10.5 (I wear 11.5). Lebron's were easy to get. Only three people asked for them. It was surprising considering there seemed to be buzz for the color way. The sizing on the Lebrons is weird. They run narrow. But depending on your foot, they could still be TTS or require going up half a size up.

Complete opposite here, Just got back from the mall and they still have plenty of 10s left and no Lebrons at all. I was talking to a Champs employee this morning and she said no one lined up for the 10s. I was the first person in the store and first person to buy the 11s. Felt so gutted when I was told at the first store that they didn't have my size (after the fact that they told me they were getting a FSR a couple of days ago and before they opened the store today I caught an employee and asked him if they have my size and he said yes, that fucker). Good thing I called the second store several days ago and they told me they would be getting my size so I booked it there asap and was able to get my pair. Really loving these shoes, just wore them out and they're super comfy. They're a little bit big for me though, hard to find size 7.5 shoes which is my true size so I always end up going a half size bigger. It's not so bad with an insole though.

Definitely looks good in those shots, but how does it look when you're actually wearing them?
Me wearing it. Erased my face cause I don't like the face I was making haha. At first I though it wouldn't look good with jeans but after trying them on, it looks awesome.
Looking through my closet to find clothes that would fit the shoe. The ones I have on isn't too bad. Kinda goes with it.
