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.

I keep hearing everyone talk about Pure Boosts, I definitely need to try a pair on too.

And those Asics are fire! Look great with the joggers no doubt.

Wore my Lance Mountains yesterday:

The leather on them was nicer than the leather seats on the plane hahaha. Best Jordan release this year IMO

Definitely one of the best releases (Lance Mountains) this year. The Jordan 1 silhouette is my all time favourite so it's hardly surprising. Shattered I wasn't able to cop.

Those look so nice. Are you gonna beat them down or keep them looking clean? They would look so nice beat down imo.

I wear all my shoes frequently, but I'll definitely wear these more often than most, and won't wear them as cautiously as my others. I like the way the black with the red/blue accents looks, and want them to wear and peel naturally, but eventually I may take the paint off slightly and make them look more distressed, because the paint seems pretty tough to get off (someone just scuffing them won't do it)

I've never bought anything from Nike.com that needed me to set my alarm before, but I'd really like to get these Air Tech Challenge IIs.

Any tips I should know? They drop Saturday at 5AM PST.

I have three pairs of Puma Ligas, mainly because I dance a lot and have found that the soles last a lot longer than most other shoes I've tried. Also like the suede look too. I might switch to Puma Suedes for the next pair I get. I was also considering Nike Cortes, based on a recommendation from a dancing instructor. He seems to love the Nike Airmax, but I'm not a huge fan of the style of those.

Have you guys ever been to a sneaker summit. The H-Town one is this weekend and wanted to know what to expect. I am not going to get my hopes up to find any deals,but wanted to know if the entire deal is a waste of time.

I've only been to one in SF, but I'm confident that every show is just about teenagers losing their minds over Dorenbechers. I think Deals are to be had, but it depends on what you're looking for. Show is probably going to be rife with releases from the past year or two.

I want a pair of sneakers with the following criterias:
1. Simplistic design. I like sneakers with straight and clear lines. Nothing really spaced out. I love my Navigare Salt for this reason
2. Stand-out colours that are still pretty easy to match. I'm currently using these, and they match some colours really well, but as I wear a lot of black and not my blue jacket anymore, they make me look like a child.
3. Design with a "hook". Even if I love simplicity, I like a pair of shoes that still look unique.
4. That they can be shipped to Sweden.


Any go-to sites or recommendations?

Have you tried taking a look at Supra? They just might be what you're looking for.

Lance Mountains baby! Black, white, red, and blue. Unique hook with the color-changing. The Jordan 1 is a great silhouette.

I'm half joking, half serious. I've fallen in love with my pair. But if you want them be prepared to pay 300+ USD.

I respect your opinion but that's terrible advice. I like SBxAJ but they're extremely expensive. He's paying for over speculative hype. The shoe retailed for $150 and besides the materials on the paint gimmick, the shoe isn't worth that much. Might as well tell him Royal or Bred 1s.

Best advice is to go to a shoe store and look. New Balance, Air Force 1s, Roshe Runs, ASIC Gel Lyte 3/5 and some of the new Adidas are all nice and no where as expensive.

That's why I said I was half joking haha.

Adidas is a good suggestion, they've been putting out some great kicks this year, so that's not a bad place to look.

Thanks! I just bought these:

Too bad these are impossible to find in my size:

I just looked up Supra and I like their styles. How's the build quality? Do they hold up well after several months of every day use?

I'm really digging this pair, I think it would go nicely with most of my clothes:

Really digging these too. Maybe something like this is what I'm looking for. A little stylish, if subdued color, but strong durability:

EDIT:

I just ordered a pair of these, they were on clearance for a good price. I need a new work shoe, and I want to test the quality of their materials so I can get a feel of how their more expensive shoes might feel.

I decided not to go. I had more pressing things to spend my money on than that. I checked out some photos that were posted on social media and didn't look like I missed much. A lot of teens walking around and a carload of local t-shirt designs referring to lean.

Copped the Air Prestos from the Nike Free Genealogy Pack this morning. My first successful NDC release, and a limited one at that!

Not sure if I'm going to keep them or not with school coming up, I'll have to see them in person

I got the black / gum Lebron lows this morning. By the time I remembered this morning they were gone on NDC and ended up getting them from Dick's of all places. I don't have any 11s at all so hopefully I'll like these once they're on my feet.

They sold out ridiculously quick on NDC this morning. It's like they're trolling and manipulating the "buyer" into thinking the Acid Lows were artificially limited to drive people to Ruvilla, FNL (which sold out too), DSG, Sports Authority (who also sold out), City Gear and Foot Locker and Co.

They were definitely a GR. I could've bought four pairs today (ended up getting two but returning one). In store, you can find them at Champs and Foot Action.

Was finally able to finally get a pair of the Prism ZX Fluxs. I fell in love with them back in March/April. No where close to me in Tampa got them. Saw on the Foot Locker Launch Locator that they got them in Orlando. Decided to drive the hour drive to see if they still had my size. I was happy they had my size in the Ocean and Prism. Right now, I have the Digital, Oceans and Prism. I like the a Crimson reds and may try to track them down.

I'm not a fan of lebrons in general, but I really like the black gum lows. Could've got them on NDC but passed. Gotta save the money for the 1s, 3s, and 6s in August.

Sears? All I've seen there are phatfarm, New Balance and other lower cost brands.

Those customs look nice. Love the Floral designs. I have the same pair of Roshes (maybe...I have the gray swooshes but there are black swoosh ones too).

Well, I'm going to be doing some spring cleaning. Going to try to off load some Kobe's, Lebrons, Air Jordan's and New Balances on NT and EBay.

Check the website. They have SB Lances (black), yeezy foams, etc. Way above retail, but shocking.

Sears has a marketplace similar to Best Buy, for when they don't have/carry certain things in stock. That's why you see them there.

Also, got these today. Needed to replace my beat OG Roshe Runs and wanted another new colorway of the Huaraches...

Anyone picking up anything tomorrow? I won the raffle for both the Spizike 6s and the Future Breds. Can't decide which one I want. Might buy both and resell one of em.
