I should just leave the game entirely...I always strike out on every release :(

No Tiffany Dunks, no Yeezy 2s, nada. No local spots that aren't reselling above retail, no connects anywhere.

Won't somebody sell me some Tiffanys?

I know the feeling. You win some, you lose some. It's just the state of the sneaker industry.

I lucked out last ASG and got all three Sigs. But this year is looking crazy. I want all three Sigs. They're all beautiful.

I would ask to see if you can help me out. But, it's one ticket pre customer.

If I get any pairs (im taking my brother and friends). Ill offer them here for retail. (except a size 6.5 cuz i need those for my sister)

I honestly would love to help out everyone if I could, but im not at that level yet. Can barely help myself sometimes but Ill make the effort.

Low odds but you never know.

I'll help you track down your size on those Tiffs. Try SW tomorrow, I'll try too.

Also, if you could score a pair of Taxi 12s in a size 9 that'd be great :D

Really appreciate it. Im gonna stop by later. I'm often up saturday mornings getting pairs for local friends. Didnt know anyone wanted the Taxis here, I was able to get 3 pairs for friends.

I dont really want any JB releases until the low space jams in the summer. But ill be up for the releases like the infrared 6s and powder blue 10s online/in store. If anyone needs a hand let me know. Its more valuable to me to make friends/"connections" than to make a profit. In the end Im here to have the shoes on my feet. So if anyone is able to help me out anytime you best believe ill be there working my ass off for them as well.

Possibly another chance to get some Nike SB Diamond Dunk Highs, good luck GAF! - http://blog.skatewarehouse.com/tiffany-dunks-have-arrived/

Also, I really really hope they do the Columbias right.

The Air Jordan XI Columbia is my favorite shoe of all time.

I hope it's like the OG/1996 pair and not the 2001 or the XI Anniversary Pair.

Wishlist:

  • Icey Blue Soles
  • Leather Upper (NOT MESH!)
  • Consistent Jumpman Direction

CCS dropping the ball. By the way oyoshimaru, what size are you? I'll keep a look out for you.

He wears 9 or 9.5, I believe

Btw, oyoshimaru can you hook it up with the FNL links for the KD and Lebron AS kicks?
Click to expand...

Indeed I'm a size 9.5 ideally, 9 otherwise. You guys can call me Yoshi btw. Not sure if you guys didn't know this already but this link has all release links up in advance for finishline. So:

2/14:
KD VI All Star
Lebron XI All Star
2/15
Air Jordan VI Infrared

We should get the OP updated again, with all links!

The one thing missing from the All Star festivities is the restocks from last year. We got a lot of the limited/hyped releases again last February.

This year it's (besides the Yeezy drop), it's eyes on the 6 combo and the ASG signatures.

I think it should just become a monthly thread like everything else. I realize it doesn't grow like other threads but at least the OP would have what to look out for every month.

Gotta cop the Infrared 6s for me and my girl, then KD and Lebron AS for me. Gonna be an expensive weekend, plus she wants to watch a movie and have dinner.

I'd really like to cop the KDs, Lebron and Kobes. The Jordans are okay. The Red ones are going to be limited from what I saw in the FTL and co launch locators.

But I really need to take a break from buying shoes or sell some off.

So the source on NT was right? Dammit! Hopefully I'm not asleep when they drop.

Doesn't seem like it, the Nike director of PR tweeted this:

On another note, I'm thinking I'm gonna try and cop the Infrared23 6s this weekend. They're neck breakers like no other

What size are you looking for? I have a contact that has a bunch of stuff deadstock and used, so I can ask him if he has any 3's. Do you have a particular price range?
Click to expand...

I'm a size 11. Looking at around $200 to spend. If I can find some for less that would be great.

I'm so hype to see the Columbias come back but knowing XI releases it'll be damn near impossible for me to get these.

Man, being a size 7 sucks. Been wanting a couple new pairs of sneakers but finding them in that size is work (especially living in Canada).

YOTH owners, are they worth it? And is $170 a good price tag?
Click to expand...

Definitely worth it, Im sure these will make my top 10 this year. 170 is a good price, I paid 160 for my pair. The suede is super soft and the color is so vibrant. I wore my pair already and they really stand out.

Whoa, thanks for the quick reply. Sounds like a must have with detail like that.


Edit- Btw, I'm a sucker for the color red, so that alone should seal the deal.

Guys, what do you think. I'm letting go of my DB5s for a pair of Black/Gold NA 1s. The 5s are a beautiful shoe, unfortunately I don't think I'll ever be able to wear them. 1s to me are some of the best looking shoes on feet and so I decided to get a trade for them.

Hmmm, that's a big call if it's a straight swap. 1's are my faves but I do reckon the DB5's have more $$ value.

I just cant seem to find my size anywhere, not even FC or ebay. As far as the money goes, i may end up losing out if these pairs start dissappearing. I know theres a lot more DB5s out there, but yeah due to more demand they may go for a tad more. The guy was pretty hesitant but I was able to convince him. Definitely gonna wear them come Summer. Im going through with it this friday.

Seen DB5's go for similarly, but you're right, the 1's are more rare. Plus if you weren't going to wear the DB's but will definitely rock the 1's, then I suppose it's a good deal!

Do post pics when you get them Yoshi!

No doubt I'll post pics! On the topic of the Tiffany highs, I don't think theres a chance at skatewarehouse anymore. But thanks for offering support guys! I'll be on the lookout for them once more come Euro release. It just makes it sting more knowing I stood on line for hours only to be denied and got an online order cancelled.

They just had a Black/Gold AJ 1 restock last weekend at that Foot Action Jordan Brand store in Manhattan.

Those were definitely the most limited AJ 1 last year followed by the Royals.

I was in New York when the golds dropped. Didn't win the raffle. Forever crying.

Original release or the restock last week? I tried to pickup a raffle ticket during the stated time and they turned me away cuz they "ran out" of the tickets. Not sure how much pairs they had but that JB store been restocking A LOT of shoes everyday.
