JB didn't feel like trying this year if that's the case.
 
So we get Bred XI with red Latin lettering and red 23 on the heel tab and a clear sole?

I'd prefer Space Jams, Ring Ceremony (Ray Allen PE), the Chicagos (the white and red color way), the Usher Gold or Red Melos.

Gammas and those are pretty uninspired. With that one, the clear sole doesn't contrast as well as maybe a black sole.

I don't mind this, wish they'd release the space jams again but this isn't as bad as the other new 11s.

Also, like all holiday 11s released they are mass produced so you shouldn't have a hard time getting them.

I'm in Canada and every site that ships here basically freezes as soon as they go on sale and then everything is gone.

it says a lot about my personal taste in shoes that i'd have the 3 pairs of white XIs at the bottom. if i ranked them. the shelf life on white shoes (and apparel in general) just kills my interest in them.

The contrasting white mesh/black PL is hard to beat.

But give it a few years and that patent leather and sole are going to yellow, whereas the BREDs stay strong. People buy Breds from 1996 and they look immaculate.

You'd have to restore Concords from that time period.

Ive seen 96 Concords with an icy sole. Also, DMPs dont yellow as bad as retros 2009+.

as in, the tint they get looks nice.

What about the leather?

Don't get it twisted. Breds and Concords are my favorite. I also like the gold Jumpman on the DMPs. The other colors are cool though. Tinker knocked it out of the park with that design.

It all depends on how the person stores them, Breds can turn out looking like crap years down the line too. Patent isn't going to yellow unless it's the all white CWs either. But like you said, there's always Sea Glow.

Does Nike not bring back the 12's much? I've been watching the launch calendar for what seems like forever and it seems like I've seen every Jordan except the 12's get re-released. :(

They've released a slew of 12s in years past, like 6 or 7 of them.

In 2012, they dropped the Cool Gray, Playoff/Bred and Obsidians, Taxis and Gamma Blues in 2013.

I'd kill for a Chicago 2 remastered. Chicago 9s.

I'm sure we'll see the good old 12 come back.

Damn I want the Adidas Stan Smith 84

So nice, but in Canadian dollars that's gonna cost me like $200... I need some nice low sneakers and so far only these make me really want to go for it. Otherwise maybe the Pharell ones, they're cheaper.

^ the plunge of the Canadian dollar is killing me. Hopefully the Lonnie gains some momentum for spring/summer.

I have some of my pick ups on instagram; nothing too exciting just sneakers, funko pops, and geek/nerd/gamer stuff

I am trying not to break down and pay the premium for those, but it is getting hard not to.

This whole remastered thing is looking like a gimmick so far for JB.

The quality of those 7s coming out look on par with previous releases.

The OG 1 lows were nice. As were the Fragment 1s. The 4s weren't as nice as I expected them to be. But meh.

We'll there's always the remaster of the remaster where they finally bring back Nike Air, accurate colors, etc.

Nike isn't exactly New Balance, ASICs, etc when it comes to shoe quality. It's all about profit margins.

Any #teamswift on here for the Supreme drop? Pretty surprised that I landed on grey Neil Young tee. The Mophie looked cool as well, but that got swooped up quick.

I didn't get a chance to look at the Supreme app until mostly everything was sold out. The astronaut hoodie looked pretty cool but of course it was long gone.

The Mophie did actually look cool (and was strangely not super expensive) but funny enough, I was kinda eyeing the water bottle though I liked their Nalgene better (sad I missed out on it when it first dropped).

Did they restock online, Oyo?

I hit on the Kanji hat too (LET'S GO GIANTS), which went surprisingly fast seeing as New Eras don't sell out too fast. The military parka caught my eye as well but I read on NT that they're pretty thin, so I passed.

I lightweight want that Emperor bomber jacket and the ASG Jersey/shorts, but it'll be interesting to see what collabos come this season.

I also totally forgot this camp dropped and now I'm completely sad:

the neil tees restocked about an hour after release. i was also interested in the camo parka but decided against it based on the price. 298 is way too high for a paper thin parka. i actually purchased that camo camp today as well.

i want the court jacket, has a 90s tommy hilfiger vibe to it, and the international coaches jacket as well.

I went to Supreme LA on Tuesday just bought the butterfly knife and surf style hat.

Side note i actually hate going to the actual store, employees are pretty shitty. I'll only go if my brother goes, he works at RIF.LA and it's like night and day the treatment you get when they actually know you.

The customer service at Supreme is always an adventure. I've had Lucas (the white dude affiliated with Odd Future) hook it up with a Cherry poster when I asked for it, and I've had dudes at the NY store look like they straight up want to kill me when I'm getting rung up. Javier Nunez is always a trip when I see him too.

In Japan, they're kinda just in their own world and keep to themselves. I realize they're just dudes that would rather be out skating than ringing up tourists and fetching shit from the back, so I don't really expect the greatest of customer service.
