Sneakers |OT| Hypebeasts We Know About Ya

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.

It's awesome that they're restocking Retros. But, man, I couldn't just do a store of just Jordans. It hearts my heart to just go into FTL and Co and not really have a good selection of New Balance, Asics, Saucony's, etc.

I finally find a shop locally in Tampa that has the fringe stuff.

And so far, all of the stores I know (HoH) are doing FCFS for the ASG. I REALLY don't want to camp. The last shoe I got up early for was the Steel Xs and LB XI KP. And I struck out on the Xs and had to race home to try online.

Go for it before they shoot up in value. The red suede is and gold speckled soles are amazing. Definitely gonna be a top 10 shoe of 2014.

The deal is set. Thanks for the input :)

Btw, these came in just now:

Any Bay Area folks heading to DXC at Cow Palace later on this week?

With that and Kaylani Lei at Crazy Horse the same weekend, my friend and I have dubbed that weekend Pinoy Superbowl Weekend.

Original release last year :(
 
All Star Pack released here in Australia today, missed out on the KD's! :(((


Edit: Took me all day, but I was able to secure a pair thru a Facebook sneaker group! So stoked! :)))

So I've been out of the sneaker world for probably over a decade but a buddy of mine has pulled me back in full swing. So I got the Cool Grey 10's a few weeks ago online, which was a pretty painless deal.

Today I did my first 'ticket' thing. Went to my local mall and grabbed a ticket for the white 6's. Really my only knowledge of those events were the horror stories I've seen on youtube/WS, so I was pleasantly surprised at how organized and friendly everyone was today.

Anyways I'll be popping in and out of here every so often. I've browsed the last few pages and some of you guys have some great stuff.

Didn't realize these were coming out tomorrow:

Think I might have to go for these, for some reason they speak to me.

Interestingly enough the Red version of this seems to be the most hyped, so I hope it'll be easier to get the white ones.
 
Only able to get the Lebrons today. The KDs and Kobe's alluded me thanks to a slow ISP connection and laptop.

Well, at least Nike is giving me the privilege of buying some 6s tomorrow and 28s on Sunday, lol.

First World Problems.

You guys really love nike shoes
I like them a lot but they are too expensive for me

We just love shoes in general. I've always been into fashion and having the right shoe can make your outfit look that much better. They're also great conversation starters. Can't count how many times people come up to me and just talk about shoes. Lebron 11s and Jordan 11s get the most compliments and looks. Every time someone talks to me about the Lebrons they always say they look like space boots/transformers shoes.
 
Makes me wonder what the weather is like over there. Just got another 12 inches to pile on top of the 4 inches we already had here in NY. Can't wear anything! BAH.

Nice Royals. I'm still in the process of settling the DB5 - AJ1 trade. I'll update when I get it done, I'd have to travel to NJ.
 
Seattle weather, yo. Mostly rain and overcast, but sometimes nice and clear with a little bit of wind; like today.

Just walked into Champs 10 mins ago and copped the AS Lebrons. Can't believe they say this long.

Got the AS KD's and LJ'S today, love the feeling of just walking in to a store and getting what you want in your size.

No Kobe's though, god I just want those sneakers so badly.
 
I thought all three were hot. My local HoH sold out by 9 a.m. so I missed out. South Florida, Tampa and Orlando are serious shoe markets.


I was able to get a pair of Lebrons from Nike.

Someone on NDC gave a phone number to a place taking orders so I got a second pair of Lebrons. Had to order the KDs from overseas in a half size up.

I'm probably a huge Kobe shoe fan but will probably have to wait for the GRs of the Elites cause it's too crazy right now.

Good luck to everyone on the 6s today.

Man the NDC site is all sorts of messed up this morning. And I wasn't even trying for the 6's.

When I first clicked on the twitter link through my desktop, it kept saying this product is no longer available. Took a few minutes for it to show up. Actually the same thing happened for the Valentine's Day Dunks yesterday, but they showed up after a couple refreshes. Worked right away through my phone though. Weird.

The site went totally down a couple times so far too.
 
Only able to get the OG 6s. The Nike Store shenanigans, FNL SPA and endless FTL and Co clicking got the best of me.

Can't believe they dropped 2 retros in one day.

Onto the XX8s tomorrow. Too much money being spent on shoes.
 
I'm gonna try for the Infrared 23 VIs in stores, if not I'll just cop the White/Infrareds.

Marksman got a pair apparently on NDC.

I like the Infrared just not resell like especially since I have the Toro 4s and they have 1s dropping this year.

I also picked up the 1600 Barbershop QS which is also red. It looks better than the St. Alfred's.

Man if i would've known Finishline would still have pairs available i would've slept in.. :lol

The last few GRs have been a little slow (3s, Xs and these). But the Gamma XIs, Taxi 12s, HGG 13, Grape 5s were gone early. Obviously the infrared 23s were the sought after pairs.

You should have seen my face when I was able to add it to cart, I didn't even bother this morning since I am horrible at getting through. I hope this is a trend that continues because I haven't had any luck online since the fire red 3's lol.

Did you try to get the infrared 23s? Because it was like every other Limited.

There's certain GRs that are slow to move the needle like the Oreo 5s, Fire Red 3s, Fire Red 5s, Powder Blue 3, Crimson 3s, Phoenix 8, playoff 8 and Bugs Bunny 8. But there are others like XIs, HGG, Grape 5, Bred 13, etc that do.

Be thankful for releases like this one (despite the limited release alongside it).

Next week is the Powder blue Xs. Those look hot.

Going to Japan on Wednesday.

Going to be combing through there and hope for some goodies.


Powder Blue Xs! Need those!

The quality on these Diamond Hi's are pretty subpar. Both of my pairs are marked up with black paint marks and one has a decent sized gash on the heel. The aqua really is something though, and the white contrast stitching really sets the shoe off. With that said, I hope nobody paid/pays resell for these on here.
 
So Mark, did they cank your Infrared 23 order?

I saw a ton of salty fellows on NT.

Struck out online in the XX8 Bamboos but managed to find a pair in store.

I really want to take a break.
