Damn nike chicago never called me back
dope colorway, but i'll def. wait to see if I can cop on the low when martini has another 40% off sale
Okay, now it's time to take a break from the skate shop drops (which I AM FAR FROM DONE WITH) and drop some knowledge I got. I was talking to a Nike employee today about the fact that Nikestores were receiving allocations of Nike SBs now and on top of it, they've now begin to receive QS. I asked the employee if Nike would stop allocating SBs to skate shops in the near future? The employee said that the move to allocate Nike SB to Nikestores was all "location specific". They're not going to stop allocating to skate shops because that wouldn't be in their best interest. They understand that their CORE customer for that shoe more than likely isn't going to set foot into a Nikestore. The employee said Nike SB was tired of being under the 6.0 umbrella. SB looks at it like "hey we're skateboarders, don't clump us into all that bull*hit you have under that 6.0 sh*t." So with NSW taking SB on and noticing that the sales have risen a little recently, along with the brands popularity once again, they've decided to stock certain Nikestores where they feel it would be beneficial. For example, during the "hype" era of SB, Niketown Las Vegas had SBs on their shelves. When SB tanked, SBs were yanked from the shelves. Well now, according to the Nike employee, Niketown Las Vegas's floor is being prepared for SB to have a section once again.
It fits, but Mercer is the LAST store id want to see stock anything, those crooked *****, terrible staff, and chaotic releases. But i think NIketowns carrying them is OK at this point becuase its not even all nike towns, just strategic spots, and they dont start taking orders until 48 hrs.
) job, why drop over box for every QS if I'll only get around to wearing them a few times a year if I'm lucky...
I love to support the smaller shops, but the more options the better. I'm a generous spender if you stock what I like and I tend to toss in a few accessories just to help out. If you want to take advantage of the demand and charge over retail...peace. No need for me to continue giving you my patronage. Biggest reason why I held off on that initial wave of Firecrackers. There are very few must haves left for me. At the same time, I'm a dude who is constantly in the market for something in one way or another so me overpaying for one shoe just takes money away from an outlet steal or a deep markdown come up. Red Firecrackers alone or Red Firecrackers plus a beater shoe (Sequoias, Slate Blues, etc. for conversation sake)? I'll take door #2.
Even if that extra goes to hunting down a grail, I'm still coming out ahead. My time in this hobby has taught me one thing: set a price and stick to it. If it's a must cop, that price is obviously going to be higher, but with a shirt and tie/no casual Friday (
I can only wear my kicks on weekends (days off), all black Vans Slip Ons is as casual as it gets on Friday and thats only because one of my managers thinks theyre "boat shoes".
Hm...all black Janoskis may work for me, even the british tans.
No size 11 but I scooped a 10.5.
