I didn't get in when peeps were posting their shoes. These is my haul in the last few months. Getting divorced makes you pick up new hobbies. Since at my side job I HAVE to wear Nikes, I need to see if this is tax deductible.

I need to chill for a minute though.
 
Kinda wish I bought the concord lows now, they look really nice.

They are nice. I had to pay $60 above retail to get my size. Prices are falling now I guess.

I didn't have any problems getting the Infrareds.

Expensive week so far. Copped the New Balance X JCREW Independence Days and made 4 Lebron XI iDs. This weekend I'm aiming for the Lebron SB XIs. Everyone says they're going to sit. We'll see. I want to use the military disco.
 
I guess no one was feeling those Futures over the weekend.

Not I. They're kind of like the glove/AJ XX8 zip up out liner, Roshe Run mesh and Air Jordan XI soles. I saw the black one this past weekend and have seen the others. Doesn't do anything for me. But they seem to be producing them at a lower volume that they appear to be selling out.

When I went to finish line to pick up the infrared 11s 2 Saturdays ago, they had the black futures on the shelf. I actually kind of like the futures, but they have these regular ones, then they have 'Premiums'. A buddy of mine has the premiums in all black with a red sole. To me, those are the best ones I've seen, so I've passed on everything else.

Futures are definitely dope. I want a pair of the Premium glows, or the JBC samples if I could ever find a connect (which is definitely possible)

Yeah, those were definitely the best ones. But they made that one crazy limited, smh. Black and red is mostly a home run on Jordans.

When I saw the Black and Red ones, I got interested in the Futures. But haven't liked releases after.

Today the KD7 launch event goes down. I haven't been crazy about the leaked images so far.

I'm gonna need to see the Lebron 12s in different CWs before I can really pass judgement on it. I will say that it has grown on me more since those first pics.
 
Still not a fan of the look of the new Lebrons, but the new KDs are fire.

I can't wait to see what kinds of colors they're gonna put on it. I wish the strap was better, though.

Brother in law got the black Futures, not really feeling them. The new LeBrons aren't doing anything for me either. I'll have to see more KD7 cws, they're alright to me so far.

Not really looking forward to anything other than the metallic 3labs 5s and the all black qasa high y3s.
 
I like the KD7 "USA" cw but I am in love with the "Global Game" cw. Solid red & spreckled swoosh is what sold me.

May pick up the USA cw after AX... Dunno yet.
 
I'm definitely going to be discriminate on KD7 and LBXII. I went HAM on the last models but the shoes are way more expensive and I'm not in love with the silhouettes (KD7 is cool...just depends on the color. Lebrons eh).

Going to try for the AJ 14 Thunder and LBXI Kings Crown next week.

I went crazy for the KD6s, but not feeling the KD7s at all. Maybe I will go back and get the KD6 ones that I missed instead.

I got the Independence Day Air Force Ones though:

I wanted something for the 4th that put my patriotism in everyone's face.
 
Missed out on the Ronnie Fieg x Asics GL3 "KFE - USA". So salty right now. :(


Edit: I'm too weak and just bought a pair from a reseller on eBay lol... Fuck.
 
^^^you only live once. If you wanted them bad, might as well pay the reseller.

I wasn't really planning on copping them but decided to check out the insanity. Sorry you missed out. They were both nice Colorways.

Meanwhile Concords are sitting (never thought I'd say that...obviously Foams).
 
Yeah it was a good thing then that I decided not to cop the AJ1 Gym Red, which I quite liked and could have easily obtained earlier in the day. But the RF x Asics were the ultimate goal and if it meant paying reseller, then so be it.

At $230 a pair, I figured they would be sitting. Interesting to see how the AJ XX9s sell at release, the rumored price might be too big of a barrier.
 
So the Kobe 9 Elite Low (flyknit) and KD7 are on NikeID now.

But even more wild to me, the Air Trainer SC High (Bo Jackson) and the greatest shoe of all-time, the Air Flight 89 (!!!!!!) are also now on NikeID.

Gonna make some Tokyo/Bruce Lee 89s like YESTERDAY.

Holy shit, Flight 89s on ID?

One of my all time favorite shoes, massively underrated.

Seriously stoked about this, hope they're on there for a while, I'm broke right now!
 
Nice Scalibur! Can't wait to get mine!

Really want a pair of Kobe low ID's, but damn Nike won't make it available outside of US! If someone wants to help a brother out, please hit me up! :))

I really want those Beethoven Kobes. If I can't get those for retail I'll probably go ahead and ID something. Right now it seems like too few options for uppers, but I don't know what can be done with that considering the flyknit material.

I want those too, second best lows right after the philippines lows.

:edit:

I want the Kings Crown so bad but it's 320 here lol. f that. Such an amazing looking shoe though.
 
Finally picked these up. The quality...whew.

Just got back from Japan and wasnt able to pick them up on release, resell for these was over 500 there. Glad to see the price is much lower here in the states, ill pick them up soon.

I did pickup some 2002-03 retros for good proces. Had a chance to visit K-skit and some other places. Resell on any newer releases was fucking nuts though. Over 1k for Supreme foams and 700 for Black/Red 1s, as example.

I'm guessing there's no way to get Nike ID shoes shipped to Canada? -_-

Nope. You can try and one of those package forwarding places, that might work. It sucks cause I want to make some yeezy cws lol

Also picked up the red jordan futures, they're not bad. I prefer my bro in laws black ones.

Went to the mall yesterday. They had all 3 big releases but I didn't get any of them. Don't like the colors on the kd or Kobe, and want the shit out of the Kobe beethovens, so I'll wait for those. One store had the black/white futures on the shelf and I caved. Would rather have Bred premiums but whatever, these are pretty clean.

Nike has restocked the infrared 3s and the shooting stars pack today. No idea if more restocks will happen but just a heads up to stay on your twitter game today.
 
Tried on a pair of the Pure Boosts the other day, man are they comfy! Will pick a pair up eventually.

Oh and these arrived today.


It was a long wait but well worth it. The guy on eBay took his sweet ass time to ship it, then when he eventually did, said there was no tracking number for international despite the postal company's (USPS) website stating that there actually was. Had it not arrived today, I would have lodged a claim with PayPal. Glad it didn't have to come to that. =)
