I had the red and white pairs in my cart for retail when they released, but money was tight at the time and I didn't get them. Since then my golden rule has been "if it's in my cart, I must check out" haha.

Best of luck finding a pair!

Thank you! There's also the option for Nike ID which from, what I understand, almost are the same pair without the flag (and ofcourse legit too).

But they cost 210 euros but can you even use Nike ID in Europe? What about customs?

My favorite sneaker of all time is being released again (in a retro form closer to the original) in less than a month. I need 3-4 pairs to last me the next decade until who knows when they'll make them again.

Yeah it's the best. My goal (dream?) is to get a size 9 and a size 7.5 (G's?) for me and the wife. I'd be lucky to just get one pair, but one can dream right?

This is the most faked shoe ever and I think Nike should just make them general releases at good quantities, even price them at $250-300. Right now paying $500 on ebay may even get you a fugazi pair. 11s for all, Nike. Just do it.

I think my only goal this weekend are the Premier Hi SB's as I actually like the Hi's better than the lows that were released last week on the Premier site.

Hopefully I can snag a pair...

Like every else I'm trying to get the Black 6s for Black Friday.

Anyone know what websites I should go to for Jordan's? All I know is Nike.com

The sneaker becomes available at 8am, no?

Depends on where you live. Can't speak for Canada, Europe, etc. In the U.S., Nike store, foot locker, champs, Eastbay, Foot Action, Shoe Palace, etc.

Edit: I really struggled this morning. I couldn't check out on Finishline due to their picky payment processing system. Nike store had me waiting on line for two hours. Eastbay teased me for an hour and a half and told me the shoe was sold out.

The only way I could get a pair was calling FNL customer service. I fear for the Columbia release.

Got these both recently...

Also this year (the 23rd anniversary of the Air Jordan VI) was serious!

Checking in for the first time. Knew there had to be a sneaker community here on GAF! 1st question for everybody. How do y'all find the space to put all your shoes? I basically live in a small apartment in downtown DC, and having just 10 pairs of shoes/boots/sneakers is causing a nightmare.

:/

ok this might be a stupid question, but I ordered a pair of Puma suedes. It came with two different laces, each a different size.

How do i tie this thing properly?

I have a huge problem. Everything I collect from arcade sticks, to sneakers and video games... they take up immense space... as a result of this, the boxes have taken over my entire house :/

These are just more recent releases ._.

You've got some heat there. I missed out on all of the retro+ 6s. I think I tried online for the Spizikes and Slam Dunks but wasn't upset that I missed out on them. I'm trying to avoid some of the terrible retro+ and OGs I don't care for.

I don't want to show you my apartment full of shoes. I had the pizza guy peek into my house the other day and was like I can tell someone loves shoes.

Just since last week, I copped the Knicks Foamposites, Infrared 6s, Northern Light SBs, KD 7 GM, KD 7 Bad Apples, NBxConcepts Regatta, Kobe Snakeskin EXTs, Future Black/Gums...and more.

I feel you, I usually don't feel retro+. I like the old stuff.

But man, NIKE is strong lately with the retro stuff. Did you get the Zoom Flight 96s?

Did anyone pick up the Iverson inspired Zoom Flight 96s before all the stores pulled them off shelves?

I tried getting them on footlocker after seeing them beinglinked on Weartesters but didn't get them. Good thing too, because nightwing said they were a bad retro with a tiny heel zoom instead of the full length zoom the original came out with. Great colorway of the 96 though!

Got my Northern Light His, but ordering at 5am while having barely slept on Friday (due to Black Friday shopping) wasn't fun.

I messed up typing my address (was off by a digit and using my phone) but after talking with both Nike and UPS, I should be able to update the address once the tracking number is officially scanned.

Never again will I try to order while running off of 4 hours of sleep lol.

Any thoughts on the Kyrie 1?

i'll have to see it in person. it looks too much like a kids shoe.

These KD7 EXTs are too nice. Also I've got to have those Camo Tech Fleece Pants whenever they drop stateside. They're out in Europe but I'd prefer to not wait 3 weeks for basic shipping.

Man that sucks bro. How'd you shoes get stolen?

Haven't posted here in a while since I haven't had any extra spending money until now! To celebrate I picked up a pair of Supreme foams. Also gonna pick up the 6s on BF. Glad to be back in the shoe game after a short leave of absence.

I let my cousin's gf stay a couple nights because apparently he had no place to stay. He repays my generosity by stealing my shoes and my ps4.

I got two of the shoes back though. Unfortunately, my gf had to pay whoever he sold them to, to get them back, but ugh, I hate it.

So anyone know where I could pick up these Air Force 1 Mid QS 'Flax' in the UK for a reasonable price. Some places are selling for £200+. I don't mind around £120-40.

I feel like these are LONG gone. I was able to hit on 2 pairs, both on sheer luck (one as a phone order and one just walking into a Sheikhs that only had a pair left). If you can cop for a reasonable price, I'd pull the trigger. Quality on them is real nice.

Luckily I've got a hookup on the XI's so I don't have to sweat it. I can only get one pair through him though so I'll probably try finishline.com and nike.com to try and get another.

I only saw them the other day over on Reddit sneakers sub. Loved them soon as I laid eyes on them, I'm pretty gutted that they are sold out everywhere on stores. If I knew about them from day one I would have ordered instantly.

How well do they fit? I got the Free Trainer 5.0 today in a 9.5 and they fit well but quite a lot of people recommended going up 0.5 on them due to the design and the tongue being a one piece.

I've found someone selling a 2 pairs on eBay of 9's new so if they aren't a tight fit and true to size I might buy. Checked the sellers history and is a legit seller.

For any AF1 I tend to go down half a size. I'm a 9.5 in Jordans and Airmaxes, and the 9.5 I bought is roomy but I'm not swimming in them. If you're a 9.5 in everything else, I think the 9 would be the best fit.

I wonder how Nike feels about KD not wearing his new shoe yet. Even Bron wore the 11s sometimes a decent amount year although it was a known fact that he didnt like them.

LeBron didn't wear the XIs for the same reason as KD. Orthotics....according to sources. Supposedly, the 7 doesn't provide him the same level of comfort with orthotics that the 6 does. Nike is supposed to be working on it.

With KD, he's coming back from an injury, so I can understand. With LeBron, it just didn't work out. But Lebrons has been going hard in the 12s. He's even rocked a lot of PEs (though he has rocked the released Colorways).

I'm in Miami and saw a bunch of fools...ER enthusiasts waiting for the13s and I guess for the 11s.

I'm going to try for a guaranteed ticket on Sunday but will keep it moving if I can't. I ain't trying to camp out for a super GREAT (watch me cry in two days).

I don't usually buy G-Star stuff but I needed a new pair of nice black and white shoes.

Will go well with black jackets.

Years ago they had these but I couldn't manage to find them anywhere.

They looked awesome, and even if the color pattern is bold it really looks great if you're wearing all black with that. Nice mix of dressy and casual.
