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

[Complex]

Complex has been validated.

From what I've heard they are doing a better job with not canceling orders. They handled the IV, XI and Kilroy pack releases rather well. Dealing with them before was fuckin ridiculous.

Now they just need to get rid of that Finishline box, which is a big sign to anyone who wants to steal kicks after a release date.

As a reminder Saturday

I'm a weirdo, even for releases I don't want. I still get up and go to Eastbay, NDC or ride past the sneaker spot on the way to the gym on Saturdays to see what the lines are like so I'll have an idea what to expect when something I do want releases.

BHM Spizike's...I'm getting tired of the Volt colorway, but I sort of want some Volt Flyknit's. I saw some on someones feet and they looked pretty hot.

GS BHM Lebron's...so they'll probably look like this. The Lebron X has been

has the air max 95 Engineered Mesh dropped yet ?

I think they're out in some places, but the official date is the 17th I believe

I swear I love being a New Yorker.....Marino speed turfs missed those...store got a FSR of all colors...missed the Penny V's... they re-upped... missed the playoff 12's? Re-up... Olympic 6's, 7's...they just got more.... Shit like that is priceless at times.

They got Playoff 12s for retail?
Damn, I don't even fuck with 12s that much, but those playoffs are my favorites
I'm passing on the 13s coming out this weekend and waiting on these at the end of the month

Man I got my 11's in the mail and was pissed off at that shit.
Any sneaker head would have already known what those were or could have guessed during that period that they were the playoffs.

I prefer the 5s without the 23 on the side
The OGs never had 23 on them

Worst shit ever. I remember when i first saw those i thought they were bootleg J's. The first retro they did in 2000 or so didnt have that garbage, dont know why they did for the subsequent release. Atrocious.

 

[FJP]

5's out today in BK and Roc $250...ironically enough they only had size 8-10.5

actually they didn't because i still have them. MJ had the "23" added to his personal pairs but the original general release of the 5s did NOT have a 23.

 

[FlatbushNicca]

Anybody copped these?? If so, how is the Cut on these? I wear a 13...and on the Lebrons i gotta get a 14....i dont wanna order these and its too big or might need a smaller size...ya dig!!! i might pull the trigger on these!!!
its funny i wasnt feeling these joints...now i do!!

Man, Then the dudes in my school must of been Mikes Nephews!!! so, why the black tongue with 23 on the side is a RETRO?

i think most jordan fans actually wanted the 23 for the retro since that's how MJ wore the shoe on court. I know i didn't mind it. JB is going to keep releasing these every few years now, so you will probably see the 5s with 23 again in 5 years or so...
