Carmines 1s releasing same day as Carmine 6s. Not good for my wallet.
It's the same with the Barons.

Nike is in love with maximizing profits. They don't really produce 1s in ample supply. I want the 6s more but I'll give it the college try. Bot users have it easier (besides the Captcha thing right now).

Have I told you guys that I like the AJ 1s? I really want the High Black Toes but I'm not gonna shell out 250$ for them. The Chicago 1s, I can live without having since I think the Bred 1s and the Black Toes are better. The GM Royals make me sad, I really need to get me a retail pair but 400+ for that...lol yeah.

I have two "custom" shoes in there too. One pair was the 2013 Celtics that I painted the green over with black (I was going to paint the entire shoe black and leave the gold but opted for this version instead because I need more white shoes and I can live with my beat patent/black gold 1s) and my W.I.P. Jordan Tiffany's. I'm taking a stab at custom croc print (woodburning) and it hasn't been so bad. Have a few blunders here and there but whatever. I'm also to lazy to get rid of that yellow because painting the sole is temporary unless i buy a soleprotector and that's like 20$ and the yellow actually isn't too bad imo. It makes the shoe look better some how.

Gonna attempt to get the SB x AJ 1s this weekend cuz I actually bought a nice sweater to go with it. And also every other Nike Air AJ 1 that comes out just because. I'll grab the Gucci's later (they're on sale right now at a store for 79.99 I believe but idk what size) and the Knicks when they're a decent price.

Oh, and sorry for the blurry pic. My phone's auto focus is pretty bad at times.

Love the picture. I'm a big fan of the AJ 1s too. Moreso the OGs or decent color ways. I bought 2 pairs of the Mid Breds a few weeks ago to go with the High Breds.

I skipped the Highlight Reel, Gucci, RTTG Washington DC and Laneys. I couldn't get my hands on the Black/Gold and Royals.

Going to "try" for the AJKOs this weekend. I won't stress if I miss. I'm more aiming for the Lebron XI Black Outs and the KD 6 Florals.

I want the AJKOs but I know they will get dirty so easily cause of the white canvas. They look really good tho. Maybe If they retro the bred versions I'll grab those.
 
Anyone able to pick up the SOMPs? Struck out here in Seattle, some damn resellers scooped up about 8 pairs each from the two stores that got them. Want a size 9 :/
 
Where can I find these? Not sure where to check online and Amazon doesn't seem to have them.

Sorry I didn't reply in a timely manner, I totally didn't mean to blank you! I just went into a shop I can't remember the name of and picked them up off the shelf. I hope you managed to get some!

I did, thanks! I'm actually expecting them to come in today. Ordered them online thanks to a link posted by oyoshimaru. Not a single Nike store here in Houston carried them and the only skateboarding store I checked didn't have them either.

Anyone get anything on the NDC restock?

I was there pretty fast and only saw size 15 on the bred 1's.

Seems like they had a decent amount of Laneys and Powder Blue 3's. I was able to the 3's in the cart for shits and giggles, but I already have them.

I would have loved to get a pair of Petoskeys, but I never saw a size 12. Anyone know where I can get those for a decent price?

Has anyone seen the Reebok Question Banners (blue/red) still in stock online today? I need a size 12. I'm so bummed that they only made 2k pairs, I really like that colorway.

If anyone is looking to pick up Grape 5s in a size 12, Fire Red 4s (sz 10-12.5) or Fire red 5s (sz 13-16) sneakersandstuff has them in stock for retail price. I just got my grape 5s in today, shipping was only 10 bucks to the US.

I am loving this new captcha, I struck out on everything that I went for from September of last year until now. 2/2 since the new captcha went up, AJKOs secured!
 
WOW, i actually got the confirmation email from nike...i think i'll be receiving my 10.5 floral kds and some socks on the 20th!?!

feels good man

hope some of you guys were able to make some pickups this morning!

back to bed!

Damn, thought I had those AJxSB's for sure. Got through the captcha and everything in like 25 seconds, but ultimately didn't get a pair. Feels bad man.

edit: so the futures aren't sold online at all?
 
Got the AJxSBs in a size 9. I thought I lost them when it froze after I hit next in payments. I hit refresh and they disappeared from my cart! My heart was racing, on the verge of salty tears, I log into my Nike account and lo and behold, they were still there in my cart.
 
I literally snoozed this morning, guys. I set my alarm for 07:30 as normal but I'm recovering from surgery so I hit the button and went back to sleep until 08:20.

Missed out on the AJ 1s and Florals unfortunately.

Well next week is the Kobe 9 Details.

I'm sad I missed out on the NIKE SB X Air Jordan 1 this morning :( time to shop to make myself feel better lol.
 
Going to be more picky thanks to the Nike greed. They're not worth $190. In no way comparable in quality to Lebrons (which will probably have yet another $20 price increase), Kobe's or KDs (maybe).

Their profit margins are good so the excuse of inflation is a lie.

If the quality was on point then I could see (I'm talking the leather or features like 3M that are cut from past models).
 
Only thing I kinda wanted this week was the KD florals. I decided to sleep instead though, money saved for Japan study abroad in June, :D.
