Put a pair of shoes on hold at Niketown today and will pick them up tomorrow. I'll admit that when I saw them online, I wasn't digging the colorway too much but once I saw them in person, I had to have them.

Pretty happy about how that worked out really.

Jordan is re-releasing the Aqua 8s later this year...

Looks good, I like the more noticeable contrast with the grey and black panels compared to the 2007s.

That said, my 2007s are still good, no need for me to double-up on them.

I thought the Aqua 8s were the most 90s shoe Jordan Brand's ever made...but now they've outdone themselves with these new 7s lol

[RBK]

The 7s will probably be slept on, but I think it's a nice CW. One of the best I've seen it a while.

The "Third Time's a Charm" 8s CW is growing on me as well, but not a fan of 8s to begin with.

 

[Spiderjericho]

The Laney 14s, Carolina 1s and Aquas look the most interesting out of the holiday collection.

 

[darkwing-buck]

those 7's are fucking nice

 

[suplex]

Those 7's are comically ugly.

Kinda glad they aren't releasing many Jordans I'm interested in this year. Saving me money, time, and effort.

 

[oyoshimaru]

Carolina 1s and Laney 14s only thing im interested in for the holidays.

I agree but so many other hot kicks are coming out of nowhere.

 

[DominoKid]

Those 7s would be sick if they were blacck instead of white.

Cant wait for the aqua 8s to drop. First time theyve been available while i was actually in a position to afford them.

Laney 14s look nice.

Going in on the Double Helix Brons tomorrow. First shoe Ive copped in about 2 years. Gonna be way pickier this time around.

 

[oc]

Got my yeezy boost's an hour ago and I already got rid of them lol

 

[drPepper]

I just ordered one of those. Cant wait for them to arrive.

 

[RBK]

This much is true.

Still like them though.

Pick-up from Niketown:

._____.

I tried my ass off online to get a pair last weekend like tons of others (Spiderjericho as well I believe) who actually wanted them and you get rid of them as soon as you get them?

sigh I'm sure you made a nice amount of money

This Yeezy shit is bs. Adidas can kiss my ass making this shoe so damn limited when it wasn't supposed to be and then watching people flip them for thousands.

Adidas will not be getting my money for another sneaker ever again after this bs. Thought they were better than this.

 

[GamePnoy74]

I need to get my Gump on, yo.

Releases in about an hour on NDC.

Been ordering too much crap on NDC lately...Flyknit Lunar 3s for my wife a few weeks ago, volt Lunartempos along with some running supplies just arrived for me, and loaded up on some tech fleece on clearance for me and my wife yesterday when there was an extra 20% off clearance sale going on.

I'm a slave to the swoosh. lol

 

[DominoKid]

Gump Cortez are nice.

Copped the Lebron 9 Datas and Double Helix on FNL this morning. never thought I'd like a shoe w/ pink in it but they're so fresh.

probably skip on the Marvin 7s next week and pick up the Lebron 12 Cowboys the week after that. this probably my favorite Nike sig model since the Lebron 9. The KD7 and Kyrie 1 are nice too though.

It's not like Nike wasn't doing the same thing with the earlier Yeezys, no?

I need to get my Gump on, yo.

The Cortezes look alright, but a hundred dollars? Really? Fuck off, Nike

 

[mr.rager]

Doubling up on the Chrome 8s. My old pair is showing it's age.

Yep same here. I actually wanted them to rock. Almost got through. Maybe. Can't tell work how bad their site crashed.

Adidas Consortium x Mastermind Japan

I want those.

edit: BTW, is it really still a thing that colored shoe laces mean something? I am buying some Adidas NEO and like the yellow shoelaces, but I remember way back when people said certain color of shoe laces was associated to skin heads. I would think this isn't true if you're wearing sneakers, but damn if it is still to some people lol.

I'm good at customization!

 

[GamePnoy74]

Had no chance to get the Cortez this morning, already sold out of my size like five seconds after they went online. Geez.

 

[Spiderjericho]

I can't hate on someone who resold those Yeezy. The gray pair is a love/hate and if you could get a $650 return on them which could lead to other sneakers you want or whatever, I can't hate.

I wouldn't have sold them but if you offered me enough interesting sneakers in exchange I might.

 

[oyoshimaru]

I'm keeping my pair, never selling but I am open for trades with em, i don't like to handle money. Who knows maybe the price will keep going up and eventually I can manage a trade for yeezy 2s if I add money/other shoes.

Today I went for the Timberland x Concepts 6 inch Boot. Waited in cold NYC weather for ~4 hours but ended up with the wrong size. Pretty limited release of only 160 pairs, of that only ~40-50 were sold in the NYC store.

 

[Spiderjericho]

Yeezy Boost for Yeezy 2s.

Can't see it happening but as they say anything is possible. Yeezy 2 was another stroke of Nike marketing and design.

Sorry you missed out on them Timbs.

Ninja Edit: just saw them. Purple Timbs. Wow. Those are dope. The nubuck/suede looking proper.

Probably the best shoe to release today.

As a New Yorker, I could see the excitement for them.

 

[JackLongRod]

Picked these up last week

Is was more about the knowing we were trying for them and then "oh I got them and already sold them lol " No need to post with excitement the day they are for sale that you landed them online and while the rest of your fellow GAFers are struggling for hours and then the day you get them in the mail you run to GAF again and post you sold them right away when he knew some of us really wanted them.

I understand when someone needs to resell if they need money or desire other sneakers, I just found the post a little rude considering it all. Maybe I have missed it in this thread, but I haven't seen anyone do that before.

I would have kept it to myself in here if my plan all along was to resell them after the shitfest that was Adidas.com launch, guess that's just me.

 

[oc]

if it makes you feel even a tiny bit better, they went to someone that has posted in this thread a couple of times and intends to wear them.

 

[Spiderjericho]

Neogaf is definitely more of a utopian and morale place than the murky waters of NT.

Most of the posters don't come here talking about reselling, so I can see how it ruffled Matrix's feathers or (russelled his jimmies...lol).

I won't lie. I wasted three hours of my life on that garbage. And a week later and the shenanigans that continue to ensue, F Adidas.

What happened to the promise of these being available to everyone?

Also WTF on the Xeno Flux release. Really wanted that pair.

 

[Scalibur]

The other high end Adidas sneaker with a zipper and boost sole.

 

[DominoKid]

wow i actually like that. reminds me of the Glove. front view pic?

when it comes to resellers don't hate the player. hate the game. the sneaker companies cause all of this.

The companies make it impossible for those shoes to be attainable for average user. I would have sold the Yeezys as well. If they stop making "LIMITED QUANTITIES" than you wont have people reselling for crazy amounts of money. Those shoes cost maybe 20 dollars to make. you should be upset at those companies instead of re-sellers.

 

[dskillzhtown]

@copthesekicks on twitter is showing Finish Line with alot of Nike restocks. Including the Roshe Run "Random Yarn" and the Kyrie All Stars.

 

[oyoshimaru]

really special pickup today. brand new 1994 air jordan 1 black/red in my size. compared them with my 2013 pair.

i'm so excited to have these, next up 2001 and 1985.

my pickup of the year for sure.

wow congrats! I really want 1994 Chicago 1s. So hard to find them in 10.5

Those pics deserve a couple of these:

 

[Anth0ny]

stupid question:

for anyone who lives in snow filled areas, do you wear sneakers outdoors during this time of year? if so, how do you maintain them? I'm in Toronto, and it's not the snow or water that gets me, but this:

there is a shit load of salt literally everywhere you step. I've ruined many a pair of shoes due to this. after a while I just said fuck it and I wear my timberland boots everywhere, which still get fucking white dry salt shit all over them.

I see people on campus at my university wearing mother fucking jordan 11s just completely ruined by this salt and it causes me physical pain. if I ever got my hands on a pair of awesome jordans, I don't think I'd have it in me to wear them during these conditions lol

so is it even feasible to wear sneakers in this case? does the good old toothbrush clean stained salt off sneakers? or should I just keep rolling with boots until the three or so months of warm weather in toronto?

 

[DominoKid]

winter time is for beaters. i'm pretty sure i've worn my Blackout Lebron 9s and a pair AM95s at least 4/7 days of the week since November. i can also just take some shoes from my job if i need to. it's stuff like Free Runs but it gets the job done.

gotta check the weather reports for when to bring the nice stuff out.

lucky for us here in NC it's only an issue from November to the beginning of April usually. 8 months of prime shoe weather.

 

[ryuen]

Damn...I'm a 9.5 too. Oyo hurting feelings out here!

 

[Spiderjericho]

Saw the Bred pickup on Instagram. The 1994s look great. The mold seems a little better than the 2013s.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Anth0ny: I wear boots outside, shoes at work (a pair I leave there), until the snow has melted. Even then, a few of my pairs only worn when I feel it's worth it. I bought a pair of cheap but nice Vans recently that will be my main summer low shoe.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

GTA resident, and I wear beater pairs of shoes during the winter. There's no freakin' way I'm wearing anything nice in these conditions.

 

[tracky_dacks]

Today's pickup: Nike Air Max 1 'Patch' in the green/olive colourway. Such a tough cop as there was surprisingly a lot of hype on them despite only being unveiled a couple of weeks ago. Got really lucky on Sneakersnstuff after striking out on every other site.

Really want to complete the pack (there's a sand and black colourways) but resell on them are absurd. =(

Today's on feet: Adidas Ultra Boost. Comfort on these are on another level!

 

[Scalibur]

Very nice! Grabbing those NYC Janoski Max today.

 

[Chromax]

Is there a size difference between the Air Jordan Retro 13 and Air Jordan 11? Not sure if I should order the 11s in the same size as my 13.

 

[bedlamite]

The Ultraboosts are truly next-level. Damn expensive, but worth every cent.

 

[ELAMOR]

are those true to size? i'm planning getting a pair

 

[ryuen]

I actually think both of these models run sort of big. You won't be swimming in either of them if you get your true size, but personally I'd size down for both.
