Nice! Supposed to pick mine up after I get my foams on Friday.
Phoenix colorway looks better than I thought it would
both
I fucks with those Asics
What are they called and are they available now?
Still on the fence about those IX's, not a big gray fan, so I'm not sure I'd ever wear them. The only all gray kicks I get are New Balance.
Yep
Their normal collaborator, Ronnie Fieg and they're limited to a couple of shops in New York
Not sure about any online stores

I heard they have fixed their servers do you think that improves the chances of orders? One thing I found interesting is that they set the limit at 2 per customer instead of one. Wonder if that means they have a fairly large supply
OMG I can't believe folks paid $170 for them cool grey IX, when in 2003 they SAT on the shelf, I bought a pair for $50. Jordan laughing at you.
I don't understand why people say this.
So if you had an easy time getting in to a club last year, you aren't supposed to want to go there this year if it's the most popular club and you have to wait
The sneaker game was totally different. Now being a sneakerhead is the new it thing, and you have every rapper these dudes idolize professing to be a sneakerhead.

I have shoes in my closet I'm not buying the same shoe for an inflated price. If you are a true sneakerhead and like this shoe you should already have. Thats what I don't understand. All the shoes that people riot, and camp out for I already have. I buy the shit that I like not the shit that some rapper is wearing.
Folks gonna buy what they wanna buy I guess. I aint counting folks pockets, but it's just further proof folks just go for anything.
If you're a true sneakerhead
Maybe you didn't have the money for them before
Maybe because you didn't like them before
Maybe because you want additional pair
Maybe because a pair of 10 year old sneakers look like crap and the sole is about to fall off.
Some of you say some weird shit
Selvedge Denim joints, supposedly super limited but who knows.

Son your first comment was about how the "new thing" is being a sneakerhead. It's little niggas walking around with 20 pair of shoes talking bout they're collectors. I have been doing this sneaker shit for over a decade. If you are a real sneakerhead your shoes from 10 years ago don't look like shit because you take care of them. I'm pointing out the difference between people who really do this sneaker shit and those hypebeasts who sleep on the ground for general releases.
I see nothing wrong with young kids being a sneakerhead or hypebeast. So you look down on football fans who don't paint their face, know all the stats, and go to games and shit?
I don't think I'm above them. It just continues the cycle. For some it will be a fad, and some will continue it. It's that way with everything.
There is no such thing as a real sneakerhead. That made no sense. Everyone has their own definition. So your ten year or old pair of sneakers look the same as a new pair? I know for a fact as they age that the sole comes off.
And you buy everything you ever wanted? Never missed out on anything? Because I know in high school and college I missed out on a lot. So because I couldn't afford some sneakers in 2003, I'm not a sneakerhead? That shit sounds silly.
Damn son, so you didn't get the olives, black cement IV's, cool grey IX's, thunders, stealth foamposites and playoff XI's in 2012...you're not a sneakerhead.
Hypebeasts create resellers. Resellers kill the game. Nike has countered resellers by jacking up the prices. It's an ugly cycle, and we all saw it pop off. I guess my generation is getting phased outta the game.

Shit, to be a sneakerhead now you have to go through a lot more.
So you can't even compare us to them.
How many of us camped out overnight?
Jordan's used to come out on Wednesday's and sit. It was easy for us. We could wait for the next pay day. These young kids have to put a whole lot more work in than we did. Us, we're like fuck that, I'm not camping out, getting up at 5am or sitting at a computer for an hour F5in.
And if we did all that shit, we wouldn't need resellers.
How many of us would have gone through all of that when we were 15 or 16...19? I think it's sort of stupid, but I also have a certain level of respect and admiration that they're that dedicated.

Let's be real though. As much as I like shoes, they are JUST shoes. Camping a couple hrs I done it, camping overnight, would never do that fam.
Exactly, so how can you look down on them. They're willing to go to extremes I never would.
And if you had to go through all of that just to get sneakers growing up, would you be a sneakerhead?
We had glory years, as far as sneakers, price and ease to get them.
Those days ain't NEVER coming back.
Lmaoooo
Late 80's and 90's was the glory years
I remember when I was in high school & those cool grey 11's came out. You could still go to numerous places & find 'em. Hell, in some places they sat. They may've been low in numbers but they could still be found. Same w/those snakeskin 11's. That type of shit happening nowadays??? Sheeeeeeeeeeittt!!!
Those days ain't NEVER coming back.
Never ever
But I will still always try and cop what I like online at release and if unsuccessful also try to hold out on paying anything $75 over retail even if I like the shoe. I STILL don't have a pair of Metallic Red Foams because I haven't seen much of anything under $340 
I'm currently in Europe and the bred 4's are sitting on the shelves here at every Niketown, Footlocker etc. got my cement 4's here earlier in the year around May at footlocker and they were released in January. I'm hoping they get a shipment of the foams tomorrow. Feels like the old days here being able to walk into footlocker with no rush and buying the latest j's...
Yeah, that's what I heard. They're more in to running kicks, that's why they get exclusive colorways and you even have some air max 1, 90's, 95's, 97's coming out there and not here. Like when the neon 95's came out there and not here.
I ordered a pair of my 97's from over there.
are there any stores out there that have websites that ship overseas?
The EU websites used to be a good secret way to get the hype beasts shoes mostly under retail but due to the Spacejams/cool grey/concord Xmas release hysteria the last three years, all those sites are well known to the hypebeasts now especially over at sole collector/niketalk. I did order my bred 4's from over here for a little over retail but I should have waited knowing i was coming here forgetting they would be so easy to get but I didn't want to take the chance...
I guess a cat got to wait until vaca next month and hit the UK for a few days to get them foams and other kicks with colorways not in the U.S
I STILL don't have a pair of Metallic Red Foams because I haven't seen much of anything under $340
Hell, I STILL haven't even worn mine.
I'm sorry, but ain't no sneaker in this world worth $500 to me
