I want those 3's.

I might be out of town when they drop though, so I might need assistance getting them.

However, I doubt resale will be too crazy on them unless they're stupid limited.

I'm really bad with white shoes, so that's a pass for me. But they look nice


Edit- forgot that I ordered the valentine sb's this weekend -_- which has cracked white leather

I might take a crack at the 3s. I like them but, at the same time, I feel like they're a poorman's white cement 3s. That's just me.

So I was out on the hunt for some cheap SBs highs so that I can customize them into my own rendition of the Tiff's and I came across a deal I couldn't pass. Got the highlight film 1's for 60$. I don't like the shoe personally but Nike Air treatment and cheap price did it for me. Gonna paint these instead.

I have the White Cement 3s so I don't need those. Next JB Release I'm looking for is the low Space Jam 11s. That and the possible Black Infrared 6 and Columbia 11 release are the only things I need from them this year.

those threes are terribly generic, not a fan at all. the powder X's however, fire!

slightly OT but i just got given a heap of sample apparel for being in the right place at the right time (plus knowing the right people)

lebron socks, jordan tees, training shorts and sportswear tees.

haven't been copping alot of kicks lately so this has filled the void, briefly :)

I'm going to cop the 3s, maybe 2 pairs. I was only able to get one pair of the 88s and would rather dirty these up then those grails.

I can't even list what I want. I probably need to head to a shrink to address my sneaker craze/addiction. This past weekend, I picked up the XX8 Bamboos, XX8 Oak Hills (on Outlet discount), Lebron XI ASG, KD 6 ASG and the Infrared 6s.

You probably spent close or over my mortgage payment on sneakers this weekend :p.
Click to expand...

I've probably spent a down payment on a house on shoes in the past 2 years. Like I said, I probably need to ratchet it down A LOT. I'm into Lebrons, KDs, Kobe's (though I haven't gotten a 9 yet, thanks, Nike), Jordan Retros, Jordan mainline, Roshe's, some Nike Trainers, New Balances, etc.

Maybe a release per month or two. But They're so pretty. They're my precious.

I used to have around 50-55 pairs at my heyday. Favorites by far were the Nike SB Jedi. Now I have I think 12 pairs, favorites are the LeBron XI Aways.

Was able to snag a pair of Infrared 23 VIs and Lebron King Gators this weekend. Need to snap some pics. They had crazy amount of pairs in Louisiana for the All Star Game.

LOL at the bot users that are crying over "accidentally" buying hella Flyknit Air Max pairs when Nike changed the Red October Yeezy 2 Twitter link.

I like those 3's. Currently don't have a pair so I'll be grabbing them for sure. Since I picked up the White 6's, this will be a busy bunch of weeks for a while now. Going to get the Powder Blue X's this Saturday, then my wife wants the Aunt Pearl KD6's that come out the 27th, then the white/black 3's on March 8th. After that I should be able to take a break.

missed my chance at the kd all-stars, so i'm going to try for the aunt pearls. what's the general vibe about them? you think they'll be slept on since it's a thursday release? i think they'd look nice with a white lace swap...then i can put those pink laces on my miami nights.

Lol. Like Kenshiro said, "You're already dead."

AP already has hype. They sold out on overseas sites.

I think they're okay but I like the significance of the shoe and would definitely cop. But KD6 Pre-Heats (a weekday release), KD6 Meteorology (Sat), KD6 N7 (outlet and online release), KD6 EXT Gums (HoH, NT and online), KD6 BHM (Sat online, HoH, NT, etc), KD6 ASG (weekday online, HoH, NT, etc) all sold out.

Don't sleep. Click quickly and may Zeus, Allah, Yahweh, Buddah, Mercury, etc be on your side.

LOL shit. I really thought they were being overlooked.

I'm usually up at 445 anyways to get to the gym on m/w/f, so thursday shouldn't be too bad. I really only planned on getting them from the Nike website since I've got $100 in gift cards, if I don't get lucky with the aunt pearls, maybe I'll just wait for the tech fleece pants to restock lol

That is the WORST site to buy shoes. Actually, they're all bad. It really is a crap shoot/luck.

NDC is usually the first to sell out. Now, between early links and bots, it's definitely difficult to cop shoes. This past Sunday, the Jordan XX8 Crescent City sold out in like 2 minutes. And that wasn't even a sought after shoe.

The only way to mitigate it is surprise drops (which page links, twitter notifications mitigate) or them sending you to a page with multiple products that would make it difficult for bots to select the shoe and check out.

I wish you luck. I'm going to try. But if I get them, great, if I don't, at least they sold out and Aunt Pearl got money donated in her name despite the circumstances.

My wife actually wants those Aunt Pearls. Was hoping they wouldn't be all that difficult to cop. Are they going to be at brick and mortar stores or just online?

Probably both. The release details haven't been let out yet. I can't remember what they did last year. I wasn't a fan of the KD5 AP (not a huge fan of the shoe except the DMV and ASG).

Girls should be a little easier (maybe).

Decent amount of sizes. I think they're only a couple of bucks more here. Got mine within 3-4 days of ordering (I live on the west coast).

Thanks for the link. I'd definitely look into it, but I wouldn't be comfortable if Nike restocked and I could have essentially bought them for free with gift cards.

Thanks. I haven't had any trouble with eastbay or finishline, but I'm really trying to get it through Nike because of gift cards. It wouldn't sit right with me knowing I had even a small chance (like .00001%) to pay 50 bucks out of pocket instead of full price, you know? I wouldn't be disappointed if I couldn't get them though. I understand it it comes with the territory.

I want the KD6 Home 2's that are releasing this weekend. How hard are they going to be to get?
Click to expand...

Ugh not at all. I was a big KD6 fan. copped the SP, Meterology, Bamboo, N7, NYC 66, Gums, X-Mas and PT. Still working on the ASG and BHM. But the last few color ways have either been N7 re skins (Away/Home 2) or ridiculous (Energy).

But I digress.

I always liked stan smith's, had a white/gree pair years ago, so clean.

I finally got the 998s I was looking for in my size for a decent price. Can't wait for them to come in the mail.

Those are hot. I think those were a Kithstrike right?

And you can keep those Jordanbrand fusions. Prefer to see what Tinker has in store for the XX9. Hopefully, the flagship can return to the forefront as it's taken a back seat to the three Sigs.
