Where were the riots, tear gas, people running for the doors, etc? That was tame and just a hype release for some expensive Air Force 1s.

Man, I couldn't live in New York and try to buy sneakers. 8 million people is no joke.

Thanks for that. Are the any wider then usual?

Width is normal, but they have a lengthy toe box. You could probably get away with your TTS if you have wide feet, but if you're like me and have narrow feet, I recommend going down half a size.


Today's pick up...

If you have or held a pair of WoW's in your hands, you'd know the quality on them are another level and these are probably my favourite so far!

I've never seen anyone wear the WoW. Could you define what you mean by quality? Durability? High Quality materials? Performance?

Guess I missed all of the Nike festivities. Seriously, they really are cranking things out. Air Maxes...Team Jordan 1...5lab3...Kobe 9 and whatever else this week...

They're like the banks during the housing boom. Will the bubble ever burst? Who knows.

I'm just going for just the Kobe 9 EM this weekend.

Edit: oops forgot about the Flux. Man, that's going to be crazy. Everyone wants the multis and cityscapes.

Also for those that missed the New Balance 1600 Grand Anse; they're releasing to other accounts this weekend.

Just tried a pair on, you were right. I could almost go down a full size if I needed too. Place I went to is getting sweet fuck all in stock wise, and only one in my size of the type i want. Oh well.

So I won a pair of King Pride Lebrons from SoleSupramacy and, man, beautiful shoe but I should have sized up. Lol. They're tight in the toe box.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

Shit those are sick, congrats! I don't even normally buy adidas, I have way too many roshes and I still want these.

I wish the US adidas site would list what time they will be putting them online today. I don't want to miss retail price since ebay is as bad as it was for the Jordan Futures.

I wish I knew what size to buy. I wear an 11 roshe and don't know if I should get these in 10.5 or 11 :\

They come with black laces in the box. I normally wear about 10.5 (US) but they don't come in half sizes so I got the 10. It's a pretty big 10, larger than average I'd say.

Nice touch with the extra laces. Thanks. Sounds like I'll be trying for a 10.

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.

Hey, I ended up getting them for my bro for $300 so it worked out (hated paying extra .___. though, but at least it wasn't $500-600 and was actually cheaper for me than my first canceled ebay order. Just dealt with a guy through paypal and he was legit which shocked me. They look a lot better in person than online, but I still will never get the insane prices ( I grew up when it was easy as fuck to get J's, I miss the late 80's and 90's lol). I saw the general release pics of the Jordan Future and god damn are they ugly compared to these premium versions.

I do like those prism ZX Fluxes, but I think I'll hold off on grabbing them for now. Still waiting to see if the Sauconys Three Dots come back into stock on Monday... Then I'm gonna try for the Mercurial pack on the 11th.

I should be good on shoes for now I think.

I scored at the thrift store today! I found a pair of Jordan 3 Pure Moneys for 14 dollars, they are super beat up though. I'm going to try to restore them in the next week or so. Painting the shoe will be easy, getting the elephant print nice and crispy again will be tough.

Yeah the Flux's don't appear to be as limited as many thought. Most sizes still available on the Adidas AU website also. Was watching a few pairs of the multi's on eBay last week and they all went for over $250 hahaha!

lol Yea the ebay prices are insane smh Though it will be interesting to see how quickly they do sell out since vast majority of people are sleeping I'm sure or figure these were gonna go up at like 8 am like a finishline.com, etc release. I myself have never seen a sneaker get put up at like 3:30 am eastern time on a Saturday morning.

Plus Adidas US never tweeted the time they were going up, just that they would be released at some point today.

Soooo, the Tiffanys dropped on Nike Store Europe via TLO this morning (8am), but apparently they don't use a captcha system, so the bots had their fill before 8:01 *sigh*

I'm not really much of a Sneakerhead, but I can't imagine the European scene is that serious where they'd sell out in 30 seconds, lol. Maybe I'm wrong though...

What the hell. Just woke up. The Multi color Fluxs sold out. I wish Adidas was like Nike in the regard they let you know what time they're going to drop a release. Maybe they'll restock, lol,

Actually, it's common knowledge that folks from over seas now buy from European sites thanks to package forwarding services. When I was in Japan living on a military base, we use to them to order from specific retailers that would not ship to FPO/APs.

Yeah. You would expect they would use it because the American site is using it, but nah. they didn't. I am pissed because I woke up early to get them for a GAFfer.

Anyway, I was able to score a ZX Flux Prism at a local sneaker store. I was a bit bummed that they had only 10 and not 10.5, but they fit great. I am surprised. btw. they look good in person.
