The official Sneakerhead Thread*************

I like the Dan Marion's better than the Deion's

Those Huarache's with the free sole. I wouldn't advise anyone to play in those. They seem like they'd tear your ankles up, plus they don't seem to have enough traction for a indoor court.

Just copped the Son Of Mars Jordans...White/Purple/Black/Grey

Did you have to camp out :lol:
 
I'm conflicted... Do I really want to give this dude basically $300 on ebay or just try my luck and reach out to old contacts that I haven't spoken to since 2004?

I already have a mint pair of the 2004 release but damn I want two more pair just on GP.. decisions...

Yeah... I didn't get around to looking for them joints on Ebay. Matter of fact, I'm not thinking about any more kicks right now with this tax bill. :angry:

I got to pay my important obligations first. :( :smh:
 
I would ID a pair of the Spiz'ikes

I like some of the colorways, but the cracking is horrible. Worse than the III's, because the cracks aren't small at all. I have the Kings County, and it stopped me from going back and getting the Gucci joints. I also returned another pair.

I've got the Blk,Rd and green Spizikes and I haven't noticed any cracking. One of my favorite shoes to wear, I always wanted the 1st CW but was never able to purchase a pair.
 
Yeah... my Spizikes are cracking on ONE shoe on top right around the toe area. The other one is creasing and starting to look flat n' shit. WTf.. :smh: I was wonderin' about that... :angry:

Only wore them 4 times and they are box kept... Normal walking, no grass, rain, running, or anything. My feet never drag and the soles are still clean and have all the tread. :dunno:
 
Lol.... Nike has banned midnight releases.... How about they ban themselves from making limited amounts of highly demanded releases???? Midnight isn't causing the chaos.... The limited number of kicks are.

Not sure what that means.

Footaction and Footlocker are doing the midnight, Nike can't stop that unless they threaten Nike tier 0 and urban accounts.

I know Nike has done some 3pm saturday releases, I got my pro bowl huarache's that way

Nike's full of shit though. They intentionally hold back product on the website, just so they can run to twitter and say ______ is sold out. Then everything spreads around the web and the message boards, and people run out in the morning. A few days later you'll see a FSR run restock, in the dunkman case, a couple of them.
 
Don't know it just said banned all retailers from midnight releases effective immediately.

Oh, well. Looks like folks gon' either have to do their homework to know what's what concerning da releases, pay a lil' extra at various online sites to pre-order 'em to have da peace of mind to know that they secured a pair or wait till RD and try their luck. That NDC shit is definitely out b/c that shit crashes every single time but go a few posts/pages back & check out Complex's theory which I also find to be true. Matter of fact...


That sell out shit is a new marketing gimmick by Nike

They like reporting on Twitter they sold out in minutes. That makes people run out to the stores. People will want them, just because they're popular. It's like what Apple does. They'll pop back up on the website a few days or weeks later.

Some of the sneakers honestly sell out, but a lot of them don't like the Lebron dunkmans.
 
Anybody know when these come out?

I really don't see how things will improve, other than them changing their servers. Eastbay does that timer shit and their site still crashes as well. And the midnight shit, on the west coast it's 9pm and so on.

They've done those odd ass twitter announcement times like for fuel bands and the shit sells out fast.

They need to stop trying to say everything is limited. They let the beast out the cage, and now want to put it back in.

Anyway, I was able to pick up the Lebron 9 Kentucky's for $120 from Arundel Mills Factory store.

Been wanting them for a minute
 
Pre-selling, reserving and taking pre-orders has also been banned. ...... Again lol@ Nike.


Simple equation. More shoes=Less BS.... Nike is actually blaming the retailers in their release saying this is in response to chaos generated from retailers being unable to handle big releases. They suggest that retailers hold raffles for limited releases..... Or they could just make more shoes........
 
Yeah, you could argue more shoes but then you'd be less inclined to buy those said shoes b/c they're easily accessible to everyone else which would take da allure away from 'em. :dunno:

Nah speak for you. I buy kicks cause I like them not cause others can't buy them. I like the style of kicks not the allure. Little minor shit like grooves and details not just cause they limited.

I also buy kicks b/c I like 'em. But just think, in all honesty, do you think that most people would still buy J's and such if they knew that when they went outside that every other person that they saw would also have 'em on???

Most people probably wouldn't because they don't know how to think for themselves and buy what they want. This bullshit by Nike isn't going to stop anything :smh:
 
These were posted earlier today by Gentry Humphrey. Several sites have been saying supposedly there will be a Black/Medium Gray foams release this coming holiday season...
