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

Trying to get these Saturday

adidas-ultra-boost-multi-color-sample-1.jpg
I run in a pair of navy blue ones. I put my Flyknits on the bench for these.
 
I got three pair :cool:

The 3am release had me worried because I value my sleep so I got a ATC. I was able to get them on ADC at 3am and my ATC got me two pair.

I figure I might keep them a while, because the value of ultraboost go up not only because of the hype, but because people are actually wearing them.

Even 1.0's that were damn near $100 like the solar red and volt are going for above $300...not to mention my 3M's and creams going for crazy amounts.

I figure the first real multi color will go up in value eventually.
 
I've noticed younger people/teens don't really care about sneakers or fresh gear anymore. I mostly see them wearing flip flops and just throw on anything like a wife beater and sweat pants.

Is the retro and new sneaker market niche and for older consumers now?

Things have been reversed

It used to be black culture influenced the sneaker market and fashion. It still does to a degree, since Kanye is technically black.

Now white kids from the suburbs are taking over the sneaker culture, because of the internet, money involved from reselling, and you can be "cool" by buying sneakers.

Thus, retro, Jordans and basketball sneakers not being as popular.

Young kids don't care about Bo's, Barkley's, Agassi's and Penny's

Unless Supreme slaps a name on it :dunno:

It's both good and bad, I've gotten some kicks I wanted because resell dropped.

I finally got the KD Galaxy 4's I wanted since they came out. I was worried that him winning would make them go up, but it didn't and I was able to get a DS pair for a pretty good price.

Resell game done plummeted........it's been a miracle.
 
They've had a better line up than Nike the last 12 months imo.

Bout time.

I wouldn't say that.

The NMD R2 hasn't been well received and I don't like it at all

The Ultra Boost 3.0 is lackluster and the 4.0 looks to be ehhhh

They're starting to have stuff sit, and they're more dependent on collabs

I think Adidas peaked last year

Bro every pair i try to grab sells out online. The XR1 are impossible to get and they released some trail NMDs that went quick (had a pair in my cart that got away). and are going about 30% above retail on ebay.. Maybe the newer releases but the originals and stuff from last calendar year and very early this year are still pretty hot. Nike aint doing shit but re-releasing Jordans.

Those NMD trails are white mountaineering, it's a collab. You can get them for around $230 btw.

Straight GR Ultra Boost and NMD's aren't selling out like they used to.

It has to have limited on the box or has to be a collab. Hell, even the light Parley joints are still available.

You'll see a row of XR1 if you go to your local mall. Those aren't doing well at all.
 
I cant find the green ones under $265 now.


Only shit colorways... anything else is above retail on secondary market.

Not sure where you're looking, but you can get anything that is a 3.0 for retail or only like 20-30 over besides something like a trace cargo or triple black. Even something like the mystery inks which have only released overseas so far can be had for around $220.

Everything else is a collab or a 1.0

You're looking at colorways...not the actual sneaker it is

Yea i dont even know what half that shit you're saying is bro.. I only know basic names and colorways.
 
Gary Payton Air Zoom Flight and The Nike Zoom FP (Fun Police KG, J Kidd and Tim Hardaway are on the list. i'll have better luck with the Zoom Flights then the Fun Police joints.
 
Is anyone copping the bred 13s tomorrow?

Naw, I already have enough black and red kicks

I like playoff XIII's and Flint's the best :dunno:

I wanted to go by the mall before the gym to see what it was like though. Seeing if people actually lines up. But my allergies were killing me yesterday and Nyquil had me knocked out.
 
Last kicks I got were the triple black NMD's

Adidas is releasing a lot of bullshit though, like those NMD's that dropped yesterday and all those ugly ass Pharrell's
