Picked up these and also in red. So comfortable. Adidas Element Refine:

Did you jump on right at launch? That has been a great strategy for me this year. Getting on right at 8 or 7 has worked for most of the launches I wanted.

Now that I have finished Christmas shopping, I think I am going to get my 2nd pair of XX9s. I want those Purple ones, the "Riverwalks". I have the original "Team Orange" ones already.

Yep right when the countdown ended, right at release/launch, already logged into my account. I tried putting it my cart it over and over and it just would not work and then like 3 mins later, every size sold out. Strange thing about the nikelab sock dart release was it was a 1pm eastern drop. It also didn't help they didn't have any half sizes. That might have made it harder, but it sure felt like the bots hit hard.

Jumped on right for both Jordans drops and besides the typical waiting in your cart bs on nike, I still managed those.

This being nikelab... Jordan fragments... them being on the front main page... welp I just don't see how I'm gonna land one online if I couldn't get a shoe that was not as hyped and not Jordan.


I got the Riverwalks, my fav of the XX9's so far.

Just hit on a raffle for the flight pack in a 9.5. I'm not too terribly married to these things, so if you're interested PM and we can definitely work something out.

 

[Bad_Boy]

Not feeling the flight pack.

Those kobe 'what the's tho...

 

[Acrylic7]

How can you tell which J's are going to be rare and hard to find?

 

[oyoshimaru]

hit up 21 mercer today for some of these, crossing my fingers for a call.

 

[Here For The Free Feed]

just got lucky and scored a gift of flight pack, after winning legend blue raffle few days ago. had no plans on gettin involved with the 11's this year, totally got lucky on 2 counts and now im money poor but shoe rich woo hoo

 

[mr.rager]

I really like the flight pack but 6 bills is hard to swallow :s

 

[JackLongRod]

Picked these up today

 

[darkwing-buck]

Can't wait for my legend blues coming next monday. Unfortunately my concords blue sole only lasted a year before they turned translucent/yellow but they are still going strong!

I seen the line on Instagram and that thing was massive. Good luck on the raffle.

 

[MarkMan]

Got lucky on NDC this morning and was able to get 2 GOF packs. Whew. Happy now all I need is at least one of the Fragment 1s. I got some homies that grabbed tickets from 21M in NYC for me and a few in HK, JPN as well for their releases. *fingers crossed*

 

[Rastafarian42]

Just picked these up last Sunday for a steal.

 

[kagete]

So here's my wife's G's shoe (7Y) over mine (8.5) and the sole is definitely way nicer on the G plus I like how it arches higher up towards the tongue. I'm still super ecstatic to get three pairs total though (1 for my best man!), don't get me wrong.

 

[Acrylic7]

Are the raffle Jordans always hard to find after release?

 

[Matrix]

Yes. Unless you have connections... it's Ebay for reseller prices which ughhhh no comment on the prices.

I ended up getting two pairs of the Legend Blues and know they're going to yellow more than someone who never brushes their teeth.

Debating on removing the paper from the box.

Congrats on anyone who was able to purchase the blatant attempt at resell Jordan Brand committed today. The Pantones are a nice shoe but wow at them charging $75 over recent retail prices for the shoes.

Spent way too much on shoes the last week between the Mamba Moments, Kobe 9 EXT and Jordan's.

 

[MarkMan]

I'm sad. NDC cancelled one of my Gift of Flight pack orders. It's weird too, because it was done with two different accounts, two different forms of payments under two different names. It was never a problem in the past. Now I gotta find another way to get em. Sigh.

Well, I'll be honest with you when you posted you got two pairs from NDC it looked a little suspicious. Possibly luck or the reflexes of a T-1000. Sorry they cancelled your other pair (aka Meg'd). Hopefully you can find another set. I haven't looked at the Bay to see what the market aka reseller price has been.

 

[hwalker84]

Mine came in yesterday!

 

[Spiderjericho]

^^^Nice.

What would you guys wear them with? UNC colors?

Yeah it's all good. I got another pack locally today.

Congrats. No pics? And if I'm not mistaken, UNC are your favorite Colorway?

I forgot the King Push dropped yesterday.

I did manage to get the Kyries.

None yet, been busy with the Christmas stuff going on. But I'm going to do an unboxing video and top 10 pickups of 2014 vid this weekend

I like Black/Red just like most people, but only UNC style on some silhouettes. The Columbias/Legend Blue are my fave of all time though, and it should be noted that blue is my fave color

 

[DominoKid]

anybody ever order some NikeID shoes?

i always play with the website when i get bored at work but i never make anything that looks good.

you can make a decent spiderman-inspired shoe out of the new lebrons

 

[panthapanda]

Frags are gonna be a pain but I'm feeling lucky. I was able to get a Gift of Flight in my cart at FNL but I didn't purchase because I didn't want to spend 500$ for just one shoe. I did it for fun. So since my chances have been successful lately, I think I have a chance at the Fragment 1s lol.

I have made Lebrons, Kobe's and Roshes. Pretty painless. If you don't like them, you can return them no questions asked.

It's not difficult to get shoes in your cart on FNL. The issue is getting past SPA and checking out. I got the Gift of Flight Pack into my cart but ran into payment processing issues.

The Fragments are only going to be on NDC and some European sites. All of those sites are compromised in some sort of way. But you have a chance,

I'm surprised that they let people return custom items.

 

[SelfCon]

Not really that surprising. They sell the rejects at their clearance stores.

 

[Bad_Boy]

Was feeling the lebron xmas birches but now im having second thoughts. May just wait for the kobe 'what the's

 

[ZROCOOL]

Would anyone happen to have a early link for the Fragment 1s?

 

[Doc Holliday]

First post in the sneakers thread, and I need your help Sneaker GAF.

So i usually am not one to make statements with my sneakers. I stick to vanilla Converse all-stars or Tigers. I mentioned to my wife that i liked retro style Nikes. So she get's me these for christmas...

Internationalist mids "safari"

Do these not seem like girls sneakers? I didn't have the heart to tell her that animal print is not my thing lol

If GAF approves, I'll wear them

 

[Matrix]

Would anyone happen to have a early link for the Fragment 1s?

Nope. Been looking myself and Nikelab twitter is a damn joke for any info. They don't give out times (just the date) and no countdown clock for this or the Roshe Run Tech fleece which is supposed to release day.


These will either drop online tomorrow at the usual Nike.com 8am est or the odd time of 1 pm est that Nikelab likes to use.

Bots are gonna grab them as soon as the link is tweeted. Sadly it's all bs.

 

[Matrix]

Doc, those are guy shoes to me and I'd wear them hah

Animal print isn't my thing either, but the rest of the shoe is nice.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Thanks! I wore them today in NYC so sending them back would have been tough. Time to try something new I guess.

I did change the laces to black, hot pink laces might be too much.

 

[Matrix]

NikeLab online is a fucking joke.

Np Doc.


They never tweeted the link for the Roshe tech fleece, they went up at 1 like I figured and I had an early link... the bots got them all in like less than 1 min. I put one in the cart right at 1 pm. Fucking bs bots.

Forget about the Jordans tomorrow lol Fucking joke.

Yeah, I read about the release in the NT Roshe thread. It sounded like chaos.

The Fragment release is supposed to be at 10 a.m. so all the resellers, ATC services and bot users will be locked and loaded.

I kind of don't event want to bother since its a Nike Lab release.

 

[JackEtc]

Been prepping for the Fragment release all day.

Spun up my gaming computer which I haven't touched in at least a year due to being away at college, and reinstalled windows on it. It's essentially a $1200 Fragment copping machine right now: two instances of Chrome running, twitter open, auto-refreshing on, page monitors locked onto the early link.

I'll be on my laptop and that in the morning, and I'm gonna try to round up anything else that can connect to the internet to give me a better chance. Maybe I'll dig up my CR-48

For real though, everything I've heard about this release is that we all basically have no chance. And the fact that they haven't told us what time the shoes are dropping (and if the release is a countdown or TLO like the old days) yet.....it's gonna be rough.

 

[oyoshimaru]

Im trying on the eu release and for the nike release in the states. but honestly im preparing myself to buy off a reseller tomorrow at mercer. i hope i can cop for under 500.

 

[mr.rager]

I'd love to get me a pair of those fragment 1s. They look so good.

They don't even give you a chance. It's absurd. As soon as it goes live every size is sold out/in a cart.

I'm gonna try cause wtf not, I'll be up, but no one's getting one online unless they have all of what you listed or they hit up ripoffbay.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

That NikeLab release for the Roshe NM Heather Grey this morning was a joke. ATC services and bots are dominating every release.

I already know I'm striking out on thos Fragment 1s.

 

[panthapanda]

Fragment 1s released at 8am or whatever on Nike EU. Sold out in seconds. Might not be as easy as I think in the states. Also, it'll probably release in the morning.

 

[MarkMan]

I stayed up for Nike EU, Hanon, Kickz, Footlocker EU, Nike HK, Nike JP (yes I have an address to ship to for all). And they all collectively sold out within a minute each.

 

[Matrix]

It's bad enough that its happening to Jordan's, but a new sock dart release with not much hype and roshes tech fleeces. Something has to change.

Nike, nikelab and some other sites can't be that stupid. I know all they truly give a shit is about money, but I'd like to think eventually one day this will somehow backfire on them for turning a blind eye to all the complaints.

edit- looks like nikelabs usual 1pm est drop... I swear that makes it even harder

 

[Spiderjericho]

Yeah, this, the sort of random restocks and Yeezy 2 release have been the worst.

I woke up at 3 a.m. to try to purchase from Europe. Like how ridiculous is that. European stock being absorbed by Americans since this is such a limited release.

Kickz literally sold out in a second. Hanon was an absolute mess. Their website felt like it was getting DDoS by Lizard Squad.

I didn't even bother with NDC Europe (though I do have one address to send it to there).

Well back to sleep and wake up to fail at 1 p.m.

 

[Matrix]

Most likely 20 mins away from this 99.9% being a joke to get online.

 

[ryuen]

Good luck SneakerGaf! Looks like a lot of the bots were killed off.
