Checked in at the pop up shop, lots of fools trying to hstle their way in. Lost wrist bands..... Lol

Every time slot has some unique shoes, I have one for tomorrow as well. Dude in front of me had pristine 16 breds, man I love that shoe. Still have a pair of cherrywoods in great condition

Supreme, supreme everywhere.

Man its cold and snowing and there's no way I'm getting in before 2. Nike messed up with the early groups so you have 3 time slots overlapping.

Honestly, best thing was the Nike Access code they handed out. They had gold foams and red Blazer Metric, and a couple of other shoes no one cares about, Hardens are cool. I do believe they will be rotating other shoes but who knows. They fucked up this morning so it took longer than it should have. Have a slot for tomorrow but man I'm not sure I can sit in the cold again.

Restocked Frags at the Jordan Pop Up. Opened at 6am, dudes were out there in single digits.

May restock at another location too. Had another invite at the Snkrs shop and Pearl, but its too fucking cold to wait in lines. Since I'm not going I'm sure they will release something worthwhile.

Have you tried 990/998/997s? Those are super comfortable and made from the best material.

All of the 997 released in the last year were awesome. I kind of slowed down on the 990s but the quality is on point. My favorites are the Greys and Navy. 998 drop all of the time.

Most comfortable shoes, imo, are Roshes,FK Lunar 1 (haven't tried the Lunar 3s), Lebron X (haven't tried the XIIs), Kobe 8, 990s and 997.

I need to try boosts, Tubulars, Ultra Boosts, Y-3 and other higher end designers sneakers.

I wish I could've copped Fragments. That is a huge come up.

tried to cop the BOB 10s on Nike just to see how the system worked these days. and maybe cop if i could wrap my mind around paying what used to be reseller prices when i quit getting a lot of stuff.

i have to say this sitting here waiting for the shoe to load up in the cart on Nike is not the business. couldn't even get on FTL/FNL as soon as 10:00 hit. i guess this is what you all go through every week. how long does it usually take you guys to complete an order? it took 20 mins to actually get to checkout on Nike so i'm just curious if that's what i can expect for Jordan releases.

i really like those AS Lebrons but not for $219. think imma wait to see what my raise is like before i start copping again.

How the hell do you even buy Y-3's? All my tricks and knowledge is based on Nike's.

Not sure about instore in US (though I think Kith and Nordstrom stock Y3), but you can grab Y3 from their online store. Also plenty of European/Australian online stores like End Clothing, Foot Asylum & Sneakerboy stock them too. Sizing is different to Nike though so you may want to try them in store. But if you can't, I recommend going with your UK size.

These were a rather an easy cop here in Australia, instore and online. Went with my mate to our local FL at midday and he was able to get his size in the BOB. I could've too, but I'm not the biggest fan of Xs, but if I did, I would've copped the Liberty's which IMO look much better of the 2 in person.




Was finally able to score a limited pair of J's online! Copped the AJ1 Bred lows from Offspring! Makes up for missing out on the Air Max 1 Bred. Happy days! =)

Yep. I'm usually a US9.5-10 in Nike, but went a US9 in my Qasa Highs and they fit perfect.


The more I see the Yeezys, the more they grow on me. =/
You gonna rock them Yoshi?

i think i will, though honestly if i can get a good trade, such as fragment 1s then i'd probably take it. people here in ny are asking for 1k on those.

It's 9000 pairs of Yeezys and NYC only, they'll release more when they go with a wider release. Bred 1s sat in 2001 and those were about 20000 pairs. And by sitting I'm not talking about 4-7 days, I picked up three pairs back then, weeks apart.

Just a much wider audience now.

That Nike SNKRS app is a disaster. It's no different than shopping on NDC. You get errors, items in other carts.

Really? Someone posted positive impressions on my twitter feed the other day, but now there are a lot more codes out there so it was bound to get taxed when more users got on.

I stayed home today too, I'm an impulse buyer and I don't want to go wild.

YMMV. There's no timer for releases like NDC. The time seemed off from the site so had to try to add to cart later than normal site users. Then it started bouncing back these error messages every time I tried to purchase the Bred lows or BOB.

Right now, it shows today's releases on there but you can't buy them because of their stupid cart policy. You should only have 15 minutes to keep something in your cart since check out is usually instantaneous (there are times when the site crashes).

Completely missed the Gold Foams release since I was trying to click like a maniac on FTL and Co.

freaking New Yorkers. The only place to get the Photo Reels. The only place to get NY AJ 1s. The only place to get Fragments. The only place to get Xeno Flux...Yeezy 750s...

Pill be honest the ASG kicks were a little lackluster this year but the hosting town is always blessed.

Wtf? I thought Kanye said he wanted his Adidas kicks to be more afforadable and accessible?

They will be at a wider release at the end of the month. I doubt the price will drop though. Maybe the lows are going to be the "affordable" model.


At the beginning of the week, SoleCollector said that many of the NYC-only releases will be get a wider release later. I am hoping so because I really want those Photo Reel XX9s. I won't be dropping $400 bucks for them from a reseller with that possibility looming. Hell, I spent my money on a new lawnmower this week, lol.

I doubled up on the Luxury. They're beautiful and I'm a huge fan of 990/997/998. So comfortable. I considered the ASICs on the launch day but passed due to the color blocking (though I do like the hint of red).

Nike Lab shenanigans again. They need to drop shoes like other NDC releases with the timer.

NDC is the worst. The cart policy is terrible. I mean I hate checking out on FTL and Co but being able to use ATC and they hold it in your cart is ridiculous too. Then a few weeks ago we had people using a back door and ATC through the site to get Flyknit BW. They were supposedly supposed to drop at the start of the month but folks abused it and took up all the stock.

I'm not sure I'd actually wear it anywhere, but it's cool as fuck and I really should have picked a pair up, but I'm trying to buy shit to wear and not throw in the closet. I thought it was the coolest sneaker released this weekend.
