Sneakers |OT| Hypebeasts We Know About Ya

Don't even bother trying unless you have a bot or use a middle man service. FNL is like the only site that has any mechanism to prevent or slow down bots.

Surprised this thread is so slow and quiet with the Gamma XI release tomorrow.

Looks like NDC came through for a lot of people.

Edit: Thought it was FNL or bust for me, still in line at FNL....

NDC came through for me. Now I gotta pray that my XIs don't get stolen during shipping. UPS lost my 2 pairs of Playoff XIIs at the same distribution center and I couldn't replace them.
 
Got my hypebeast on for the year. Oreos, Taxis and now the gamma XIs for this month. On top of some older J's from earlier this year on BF. I'm going back into retirement, this shit's gotten way too expensive and time-consuming.

If alot of people got gamma 11s from NDC then hopefully I can get the Bred 1s from them if they're selling it at NDC. Foot Locker is the only place in my mall that is getting them, champs and finish line aren't getting them T.T
 
shit haha

someone on twitter said that the raffle list was stolen at a footlocker and they don't know who to give the Gammas too, dfshfjkdfdshkjdfhkjfdsh i'd be pissed


My brother got his order in though but he has no hopes for next week for Yeezy II's

If I can get my hands on the Yeezy II's I'll flip! I have no hope though.

dem Asteroid Foams.


Broke my promise of not buying anymore shoes lol. Just had to get them. Soooo good.

Passed on the 11s, I used to like them but the more I looked at it, the more it turned me off.


Looks like the Trainerendors flew under the radar for a lot of people. I had to get these because I love reflective kicks.

Saw those on the Stussy website, so nice. Really like the blue ones.

I've been trying to get a pair of the olive trainerendors for a week or so. I missed the initial run, so I hope I'm not out of luck. Hoping that NDC drops them, but they aren't on the release calendar right now.

Easy pass on the gammas, never been a fan of patent leather. Probably pass on the breds too.

Still need to get them damn royals though.
 
I tried getting the Gammas this morning for a friend. When I finally got in at finishline, I got an error with 3 different paypal accounts and 3 manual credit cards. It has happened to me before where Id try paypal, fail, and then it would work manually. No dice this time. Sucks cuz I was up all morning, but I'm really not a fan of these. I hope I dont get this issue again. Not risking with the 1s next week, I'm going out, raffles/camp if necessary.
 
Another big release.

I hope the Yeezys keep people's attention off the Breds.

This thread is making my head hurt. The concept of people spending their hard earned money on something they like seems foreign to some people. On a video game forum.

It is. Ever get on Facebook the day of a release? My timeline is often full of people complaining about priorities and stuff...then there'll be like one person saying what you said. It's pretty annoying.

Got the gammas online via NDC. Easier than I thought it would be. I got lucky!

Also, if anyone ever wants to trade video game stuff / arcade sticks or whatever. Keep me in mind. I wear 10.5/11 :)

Yeah, it's ignorant especially given the website. There are stamp collectors, coin collectors, comic collectors, movie poster collectors, car enthusiasts, frequent travelers, so what's so foreign about sneaker enthusiasts.

The only fascinating thing is how the mainstream has sort of embraced the sneaker culture (kind of) and the way the shoe companies capitalize on it. Nike is seriously ridiculous right now. Compare big releases from last year to now, they definitely have their throat on da sneaker heads.

This week:

NB St Alfred wide release

A mysterious Kith Strike

Adidas Crazy 1 Kobe Retro

Yeezy 2 (hype)

AJ 12 Gamma

Kobe 8 XMAS 2
Lebron XI XMAS
KD 6 XMAS

Kobe 4 Prelude (hype)

AJ 1 Bred (hype)

The Trainrendors just aren't doing anything for me, I'm alright with the shape of the shoe but that forefoot strap just seems...unnecessary.

I just knew the response non-sneakerheads would give in the Gamma Blue thread, called it early too.

You always get lucky man. Gotta teach us your tricks, I can never get anything online. You getting the Yeezys?

Next year is probably gonna be even crazier. NA AJKOs, VIs, etc.

Yeezys are going to bring the internet to its knees. Hope servers can handle the traffic.

I can't wait for the bred ones. Been ready for them since I missed out on black toes. Also thinking about copping Christmas kd's but its pretty hard to justify buying a Christmas colorway.

I hear you, I really wanted them ugly christmas sweater SBs but it would just be a display piece for me haha.

If any of you guys in EU can get me a 9.5 in the Bred 1's, I am PayPal ready and would be happy to kick you a few extra bucks for your troubles. That and/or I'd be happy to be your US connect for shoes. #thirstbehavior
 
Going out Friday for raffles at the 2 Foot Lockers on 34th, Foot Action on 34th and Foot Locker on 42nd. Thursday I'll take my chances with Twitter RSVP, 21Mercer and NIkeNYC.

But what's the deal with the Foot Lockers calling winners Saturday. I'm gonna end up having to line up somewhere.

Fudge it, I'm gonna go ask tomorrow, apparently some stores aren't waiting and no one picks up my phone calls.

@footlocker: Unfortunately, the Nike Air Yeezy 2 will not be releasing via http://t.co/K5S0xnnVF1 on Dec 27. We have no further updates at this time.

I was hoping this would take some steam off of the Bred 1 release, or pay my rent for the month. The dream is dead =(

Got the Gammas in today, great looking shoe in person. Box is banged up though. So banged up it made it difficult to pull open. I have terrible luck.

Those AM1's.....wooooboyyyyy! I think I'm gonna regret passing on Gammas.

http://socialstatuspgh.com/site/ - CYBER50 for half off EVERYTHING on the site. There are some pretty sweet NB's on there, and I just copped a CDG hoodie for a really nice price!
Damn. US only. Those M998 are looking' sexy. Asked a friend if I can send them to his place. (He's visiting his family in the US right now.) I hope he responds before they're sold out.

I'm not a fan of that store at all! So many times I've called and told one thing and came to the store and told something else completely. I haven't been there in a few years.
 
I'm glad they swapped the yeezy release date. I don't have it right now. Recouping from Christmas but does anyone know when the black out foams are supposed to drop? I thought it was December but I've heard nothing.

You know how many times I've gone into retirement?

Shit never holds...there's always a colorway to drag you back in. :(

Why retire?

It is not a career. Just buy what you like. :)

Don't have the money/funds then that is understandable. Just come back when you can!
