Sneakers |OT| Hypebeasts We Know About Ya

Yeah, I saw those Adidas for the first time yesterday. The multicolor is hot.

I saw one of those sneaker blogs compare the Adidas to the Nike Roshe Run.

Not out until April 12, but is anyone going to try to cop these AM1s from the Mercurial Pack?

I really like the green & the purple/orange ones. I hope I can get at least one pair.
 
Those are really nice. Might have to pick one up.

You might be raging then. I heard they go for $250-$275 on the Bay right now. Right now, it's supply constrained as it's slowly being released to shops in the U.S.

It's sold out in the few online shops thanks to one of the Sneaker Blogs saying it's the 2014 Roshe's. The graphic print is hot though.

There's a 9.5 of the maroon grid 9000 available at urban outfitters right now.

Still hoping they get a size 12 back in stock at some point.

Well fuck. It hasn't been good for me lately on the sneaker front, missed out on blackout lebrons and I won't be able to get the yeezy foams. fuckkkkk. fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

Damn, dude. I wish I knew yesterday. I could've picked up a pair for you during the HoH restock yesterday.

What size you looking for?

Edit: I checked the google doc and didn't see you on there.

Too big for me (by half a size lol), but thanks for the heads up. Hoping they get restocked with all the colors, since I'm looking for a 9 in green.
 
Does anyone know where I can still buy Janoski Max shoes? Or Roshe? Preferably online. And damn, didn't know there was a sneaker topic on GAF. Cool.

Try CCS Skate Shop, The Premier Store or 6pm.com (for Roshes in particular).

The standard retailers like Footlocker/Finishline/etc should also have Roshes too (though not the Janoskis).
 
Yeah, depending on where you live, Foot Locker, Foot Action and Champs are great for picking up Roshe's. I still see Mangov2, Iguanas, Team Red and a few other mesh color ways (obviously in scattered sizes).

Size 7.5 or 8. I should add myself on that google doc.

I'll check to see if the Black Outs tomorrow. But it depends on if I strike out on the Kobe 9 Details. I had knee surgery last week and am trying to take it easy.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
I had the Jordan Futures size 10.5 (glow) pre-ordered on ebay from a seller for fucking $325 (which was insane enough smh) and it he didn't come through. Needed these J's for my brother for his bday and now prices are even more absurd as fuck.

So f-ing annoyed. It's still bothering me since I can't get them now and I keep hoping the prices lower somehow, but people are still buying them this size and colorway for $500+.
Felt this was the best place to vent hah
 
Matrix, I feel your pain. That sucks especially since you were repurchasing them at a premium price. That's the sneaker culture now. I didn't really care for them and noticed no one posted any interest on here. Then I looked at the FTA and FTL launch locators and saw only a few locations were getting them. I knew at that moment that Nike hilarity would ensue. A week later, it's a $500+ sneaker along with that AJKO Rivalry pack.

Haven't even bothered to check resell prices for the AJxSBs.

Edit: They asking for three stacks for SB Jordan 1s.

Thanks man. Incredible how cheap the Roshes are on 6pm.com, too bad they don't deliver outside the US :(

The Futures were not my cup of tea, but you have to give Nike credit, they've generated a bunch of interest in a shoe that many mocked. It's ridiculous, but it worked. "DAT 3M"

I may be in the minority, but I hate the NIKE on the back of the Georgetowns, my only complaint.
 
Man. NT is ridiculous. I can only imagine what the car version is like. There's fools on there with a half dozen Bred 1s, 4 Royals, etc.

I was in the Lebron thread like...I can't go to sleep. People start posting their collections. 2 guys have every color way...that's three racks easy.

Anyways, good luck to everyone I their sneaker pursuits today. I'm just going for the Kobe's. I can't mess with those Xs.

I got the Bobcats and will probably return them. I already know I'm skipping the snakeskin low XIs, all the 2s, the 5lab3, a few of the 14s, possibly the sports blue 3s. Retro+ are hit or miss. The Infrared 3s were hot. The Cool Grey Xs were cool too. But Carmine 1s? Wolf Grey 3s? No.
 
Anyone that have Kobe 9s, how do they fit width-wise? Narrow or wide? Gonna try to get the 'Details' on sale online in half an hour.

I'm usually a 9.5 in most shoes and have almost wide hobbit-like feet (lol) but all the FlyKnit Lunar 1s, Trainers, and Racers I use for both running and casual wear are 10. I tried the Kobe 8 before in the store and found it to be narrow at 9.5, alright at 10.
 
Only the 1 store in my city got the Kobe's, but people were lining up for over 2 days so I didn't bother. Tried Nike AU online this morning, but that was a fail. Will try a couple of EU online stores tonight, so fingers crossed!

Got these in yesterday...


Puma Trinomic XS 850 OG


Edit:
Argh, had the Kobe's in my cart from SNS, checked out, but got the dreaded email that my order was cancelled. :(

Congrats! Remember this a year from now when you're out of closet space. Since getting back into Js, I have accumulated 6 pairs since the end of January. It can be quite the rabbit hole.

I'm so out of space I had to start stacking them in front my closet.

I may have just bought my first pair of Jordans

which one's?

Those kobe's look sick, my favorite colorway so far.

Excellent pickup! I'm really happy to see brands outside of Nike pulling stuff from their catalog recently.
 
KPs are my favorite Lebron XI color way.

Man, I've got a home office and the shoes probably take up 60%. Then I have a stack of shoes outside the room.

Hopefully, you guys heed my warning. Sneakers are an expensive and space consuming hobby. But the same can be said about any vice.

The Kobe Details are beautiful. They seem influenced by the Kobe Prelude 2 with the gray, marble look (this is a little more subdued).
 
Any good shops in the Houston area? Going downtown later so I was hoping to find some nice sneakers. Would try ordering online but I tend to differ from 9-10 so I like to be careful.

Just saw these today. Adidas ZX Flux. No US release info. They are FIRE.

There's other crazy colorways like "Ocean" and "Lightning" out there too. These are sweet.

According to Instagram the worldwide release date for these are the 29th. I want a pair so bad.

I think I saw on their Twitter that they'd be released 4/1 here in the U.S. But who knows. The hype on the Flux is crazy. Same as the Roshe's a year or two ago. I think I'm done with Roshe's with the Britain colorway.

I'd like to know how comfy the Fluxs are.
