just got these in, Nike x FoxBros for 50 bucks on ebay.
Was only bidding for the fun of it, 65 was my limit, there were a few bidders, but in the end i managed to win.
So i know/read how limited these are ("0 tier") and obviously the quality is really high, whole inside of the shoe including the branded insoles is made out of the smoothest leather (never slid my foot in and out of a Dunk High so easily, a dream) and the toebox leather is super soft as well.
From what i was able to gather online, retail back in 2013/14 was around 170-185Euro/Dollar.. seller included the original receipt which states 175Euro, so not a bad deal i guess, condition was said to be "only tried on" and although i doubt that a
little bit they are still 9/10 at the very least.
The pair came with the two original laces, waxed flat green ones and sailor-shoe-like rough leather ones, but i didnt like either so i laced them up with the 2nd laces of the villanovas, which for me is the best option at this time (navy Sb-laces
might be even better, but i dont have any spare ones at the moment).
The shoes do give off a bit of a snobby/preppy vibe in my eyes and i am not super happy with the color of the swoosh, but i think i'll keep and wear them, navy is my favourite color and they are comfortable as hell (paradise).
Given how rare they appear to be, flipping them for maybe something like 120 bucks would be an option with enough patience i
guess, but i am a sucker for quality and the colorway is quiet and decent, which i like.
Money comes and goes anyway, and it's not like i would get multiple hundreds for them, am i right?
