Those are nice. But I take the KP over everything. I'd also say the SLH, ASG, BHM, FI, MN, Aways were all better.
I'll still cop them for $160 though.

dang, wish they didn't go with black/turquoise. i kind of wanted to do a send help colorway of the lebrons.
sneakerbrehs, what do yall think of the Jordan Futures? it's kind of like a Footscape stuck on a XI
i think they're cool. they're not $185 worth of cool but they're aight. if they made some lows for about $140 i'd cop for the summer
Agreed. I like them... for the right price.
KP's first, Jades second, Dunkmans 3rd. I really hope there's a Christ the King or a Swingman colorway planned soon.
Those Jordan Futures are actually pretty decent to me. Not mad at those at all, but as someone who has a pretty decent walking commute to work on a daily basis, I'm finding it harder and harder to pick basketball shoes over a pair of New Balances in the morning.

So you don't like the Gator Kings, Aways, Black History Month, Forging Irons, Southern Hills, etc? The Prohibitions look nice. Just like the Gamma Blues and Miami Nights.
They just don't do anything for me personally. Aways are nice but I'd rather have the 3 I listed over any of the other LBJ 11 colorways.
Can't wait for these Grid 9000s to drop. Maroons are sexy!
oh man those are fire.. I have too many red shoes though.. guess 1 more wouldn't hurt. lol
Just got offered DS pairs of Supreme Camo AF1's or Atmos 95's for my Diamond Hi's. The 95's are an absolutely gorgeous shoe but having them crumble on me freaks me out (they're an 11 year old shoe).
The other deal on the table is the Diamond His + $100 for a DS pair of Royal Foamposites (2011) & NDS Haze Lows. I think this might be the deal I go with even though I prefer the Premes & Atmos.
Decisions decisions...all I know is that these Tiffs are getting bumped by the end of the week lol.

I'd take the AM95 personally. I'm gonna take a risk soon when I get a pair of 99' Black Cement 4s. I know theres like 99% chance of them crumbling.
If I could guarantee that they'd be wearable I'd take the 95's in a heartbeat too. I'm gonna check how foggy the air bubbles are and how soft that midsole is before I even think about it.
Black Cement 4's are beauties; hopefully you can find a donor pair to reinforce it. My boy's WC4's crumbled on him...it was a devastating day for us all.

I have the Supreme camo AF1s, they are fucking amazing/beautiful.

yeh those camo AF1s are clean as I'd be happy with those, I love AM95's too but I couldn't risk them crumbling on a Tiffany dunk trade, that's crazy
I finally went ahead and attempted my first full sneaker paint/restore. I made a bunch of mistakes in the process and I also rushed it quite a bit (I was dying to see how my masking worked) but I'm really happy with how it came out for a first attempt. I think it could use another coat of red though which I will probably do tomorrow or this weekend. Now to find more shoes to practice on.

Looks like a nice job! I am also involved in a few restorations. I repainted the entire midsole of my Charcoal 9s last year. A lot of the paint had started to chip off both shoes. Really sucks considering my 2002 Black/White 9s are holding up much better, and these are from 2010.
And this is a restoration stil in progress. My 2002 Charcoal 7s started to separate after only wearing them twice. So i decided to get rid of most of the glue and open it up 80% of the way so I can reglue it nicely. The midsole is stil firm so theyll hold up after the regluing. Already have the things needed but I need time away from uni before I can start. Ill show you guys how it goes when I get around to it.

Nice work.
I was pretty big into customizing my dunks back in 06-07. Wish I had the pics still, but an easier and less messy custom is to use fabric and glue it on. I would use masking tape to create templates of where I wanted to apply fabric, and I actually went to target to get really cheap flannel/plaid boxers or something with a cool print and would cut and glue. Damnit, I miss those dunks.

One down, one to go, finally got a good price on atmos am1. Hope one one day I'm just as lucky with the elephant print atmos am1.
I'm not the only one here that HATES for things to come in the mail right? :/

Good stuff man. how did you get rid of the glue, alcohol or did you scrape it off? I have to fix the sole on a pair of Jordan 2's and there is a bit of glue on the leather that I would like to get rid of.
Thanks. That sounds like it would be fun to play with, how well did gluing the fabric hold up?

A little bit of acetone helps, just gotta be a little careful not to get it on the delicate materials.
Got my yoth melo, digging these shoes Melo's get slept on and picked them up for $170.
Also got a couple more new balances 1600 elites and 996 for $60 each,
I think I'm done with Jordans for the year after my infrared 6s come. Only shoes I want this year that are left are the black and red kamikaze 1's and what ever 11 comes out.

Not gonna grab the Carmines? They're beautiful!
ok after the carmines and whatever 11s drop this year.

Yeah the carmine are a must for me. I was gonna get them for resell but I'll take my chances with retail first. I expect them to be as hard as the bred 1s with everything crashing 10 mins before they release. Gotta try though!

Solid as hell, just need to head to a craft store and look for your best options there. I didn't put fabric on the toe and other spots that would typically crease easily though. I used the fabric for the accent parts like the lace hole section, around the toe and such

Hey guys!
The european nike store will have a drop of the Diamonds SB in two weeks. Dunno if you all got them...
I'm pissed at the exclusive drop of AJ4 Fire Reds at the Jordan Store in NYC. Sigh.

I don't know if anyone here is into Kamikaze II's but Jimmyjazz has 4 colors of the Kamikaze II including the letter of intent for 54 dollars each. Green/white, Navy/white and red/white as well as the blue and white ones. Now I just need to track down the black/red ones at a reasonable price.

It's so ridiculous. I literally clicked at 8 a.m. in two windows. One said sold out. The other had me doing the waiting game for the Infrared 23 6s.
Nike, you're doing a great job. But, they have bots for every site now.

lol i was at the gym when i got the twitter notification for the infrareds (never planned on buying em). i load some plates to the bar and look at my phone and i then there's the notification saying it's sold out.
Spiderjericho

Don't forget early links too. And it was like they only had one of each size the way they sold out.
It's so stupid. Might as well just do phone orders. At least it slows these cheaters down and forces them to provide their information, credit card, shipping info, etc.

Stopped by Niketown on Wednesday. Planning on picking these up next week:
Nike SB Lunar Gato "England"
They also had Brazil & the Netherlands but didn't put France out yet. Waiting to see if a USA one comes out (which is most likely going to happen for sure).
