I'm reading that the "official" release date for the Adidas ZX Flux pack is supposed to be April 1st at 12PM EST, so maybe I'll get a second chance!

I hope you get them! but all I have seen is one guy on twitter saying a CS phone rep said they release April 1st.

Reading over their replies to people on their twitter feed from yesterday they were scheduled to drop today in the morning. Just no one expected 3 am smh

to me, only the prisms stand out. I'll have to see the others in person to see if I want them or not.

Yeah they're easily the best but not exactly something you can wear all the time. I picked up a pair of grey weaves with blue laces for more everyday wearing.
 
Reshaped my AM1 ID's, while the shape wasn't the worst, some guy on NT gave me tips on how to reshape with an iron and after a few minutes there was definitely a big improvement. Probably gonna be a must for any newer AM1 releases.

They're supposed to restock on the Adidas site and eventually pop up on FNL. But it's pretty much a Roshe FB Mint situation. Low price, great return.

Finishline.com's twitter is saying the opposite :\

"Finish Line ‏@FinishLine 2h

@jennnnnah_ Adidas ZX Flux Multi-Color does not show that it is scheduled to release with FL."

anyone ever ordered from sneakerforward.com?

edit: looking to buy roshes from there. Just looked at the Jordan stuff though, and they've got Infrared 6's for $60. Clearly those are fake. Just want to know about Roshe stuff though. Also, just trying to find a pair of Black/Siren Red, so if anyone knows where I can buy them for retail I'd appreciate it.

Quarter 1 report. I told myself at the end of last year that I'd try to limit it to 12 pairs this year....please root for me lol.

Went to Rif.la in LA and bumped the Aunt Pearls VI's + $100 for those CLOT Air Max 1's at at the top left hand corner. Might be up there with my Heineken SB trade as one of the best I've ever made.

Also, the Nice Kicks x NB collab is fucking BANANAS. Definitely going to be my Spring/Summer go to this year. I walked into this sneaker store in Little Tokyo, and they had them for $140. Didn't even ask why they were discounted by $35 dollars and walked out a winner!

I honestly would not trust that site. Seems shady as hell. You won't find the Black Siren Roshes online for retail any longer. If you stumble upon them in a store somewhere that might be the only way you will get them for retail.

Finishline.com where I got mine for retail had two restocks and haven't gotten them back in and most likely won't ever again. Roshe right now is too busy throwing out some ugly stuff imo.

I have no clue if this site is legit (most likely not), these random websites always are risky as hell. Never like the fact they don't have phone numbers/phone CS. I myself would not even bother with the site you listed or the one I found. You're gonna have to pay higher ebay prices if you want them bad enough.

Got my Flux's!! :)))
First impression is that I think I like the Ocean's more in person than the Prisms. Will try to do some on feet later.

Speaking of on feet, it's been an Adidas kinda day.




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

In terms of the craftsmanship and quality of the materials used. They are honestly some of the best materials on a basketball sneaker I've ever worn! Here's some YouTube reviews from popular sneakerheads: My Kicks Fly | Mr Fomer Simpson | Nightwing2303 of Kick on Court

And finally here's my Way of Wade 2 - "Overtown" on feet.

 
I already have 4 pairs of the Flux and I want more! Jesus.

Which ones you got?

I prefer the look of the Roshes; however, I do like the graphic patterns they've used on some of the Fluxs. I'm going to have to wait until I get in my first two pairs to comment on fit and comfort.

Anyhoot, this week, I'm going for the Barons 1s and 9s. They go HARD!!

Looking for a pair of running shoes. Budget is 70$max. Preferably Adidas, any suggestions? Also what about these ones? Especially blue-black

Would you mind posting more info about reshaping?

I followed the steps in this link except that I didn't iron right on the shoe. Instead I wet a shirt and placed it on top, following the other directions over the shirt. It only took a few minutes and you'll definitely see an improvement. I used low-med heat initially increasing it as I went. I already tried it on both my IDs and Atmost AM1 with no issues.
 
Fluxs arrived yesterday. The multis didn't look as nice to me in person as the pics id seen which was disappointing.

Wore the black top/white soled to work today. Not as comfy as my last pair of Roche, but they have a slimmer silhouette so don't look as out of place in an office. Still comfy shoes don't get me wrong.
 
Well here we go, my birthday is this saturday. Aiming for a lot this weekend, hoping I at least get 1.

Also gonna try for the supreme foams tomorrow, not feeling them but I'm sure I'll be able to get a trade for em if I can get buy.

Baron 1s and 9s are both OK, but the sock liner on both kills it for me so gonna pass.

Finally got the blue grid 9000 three dots from UO the other day. I like em, really comfy, but how the tongue is only attached on one side is kinda weird to me.

Still might get the burgundy pair if I get the chance.
