Had to camp for 14 hours to get my 9.5 on my pusheads luckily my spot had 2 size 9.5 and my bro was able to get a pair to. But damn 178$ these cost more then what I paid for my Supremes.
Got em for the $125 sticker price- you'd think i would be happy as much as i like these, but i honestly have so many bad feelings toward Nike now that I dont even care any more. I think i'm just gonna do what Nike and all the jerks that have showed up over the last few years want us to do- sell em for $350. Then get the hell away from Nike's, sell em all off, and only buy New Balance and Adida's for everyday use
Yeah, I fell off for a couple years.... But I think alot of releases have been dope within the last 2 years. Even some of the General Releases....I haven't really liked any SB's in a long time, but seeing the pics of the Pusheads makes me really want a pair.
First off, dope pics!
Secondly, I've been having the same feelings as well. I've been contemplating just holding on to my older Nike and JB releases and just start buying and supporting a quality brand like New Balance to feed my sneaker addiciton. Midsole cracking problems, cheap pleather, excessive glue stains, etc. just keep pushing me away from any new Nike or JB products. And not to mention rising retail prices and ridiculous resell prices.
Anybody know which shops in the bay will have the levis pack?

If you're talking about air max retro's, then yes- they are comparable to New Balance's, but not Adida's prices. Also, Nike's COGS (cost of goods sold) has gone up considerabyl since the times of Jordan's being in the "$100 area" (the early to mid 90's)- they've always marked up their products considerably, but they've done this mostly to keep their profit margins the same (not to mention the amount of $$$ they spend on marketing, and always have). But NO, they dont make great quality shoes, even in comparison to their older products- and it doesnt help that they cant use illegal child labor and sweatshops anymore. What i said was in regards to the majority of people that "collect" shoes and obsess over things because thats what they've been programmed to do for the current trend. NikeTalk is now annoying, releases are out of hand, and people have lost their damn minds- and Nike is not only allowing it, but feeding in to it and making it worse. Sure, they are a business and theyre in the business of making money- but they have no respect for the people that keep them in business, and exploit their own loyal customers. People like yourself, have allowed it, and really dont know any better- Mr King of Heat. This is why I said what i said. Whats funny is you even said it yourself, in regards to the older pairs that youve been buying lately (id hate to see the price you paid for some of those). You say "just dont buy overhyped shoes", sites like this and people like you are the ones hyping them up in the first place- and i believe youre one of these kids that will pay double or triple (which really has very little to do with the rise in retail- it has more to do with resell prices. Many will say Asics makes some of the best running shoes, NIke is really only best at basketball shoes- and i dont think anybody takes their skate shoes very seriously. Nike is more of an image and status now anyways
