really though?! 

 

Yes, getting some lebron elites instead of these

Really digging those all black elites and this weekend is my birthday so I thought about it as a gift to myself...but I would only want them to wear on the court and dont play competitive enough anymore to warrant $250 kicks...copping some Prada sunglasses instead...

   they would call or email you first, to confirm you address and delivery...then about a week after the kicks arrive, you would receive the Fed Ex Billing statement.

Yeah, it's the same for me. I don't play 4 times a week like when I was 15. Maybe once a week. I spendmore time in the gym weightlifting than I do on the basketball court.
Those black elites just look the business, should look real intimidating on court

read the rules man...... 
On another note I was just talking to a friend of mine about how he was still looking for a pair. I told him worst comes to worse u could find a pair in the 200-220 range eventually. This ignorant fool tells me he wants "box price". @%+ do people be smoking these days? I dont understand why people think that they can sleep on a release / not have a good game plan then come out the wood work talking about "box price". I wish it was like that these days but its not. Whatever though his lose. Funniest thing about this, dude always cops rookies and foams when they drop for 200-220. Hes that ignorant that he copped rookies for retail! But he doesnt want to drop 200 on a pair of playoffs when they r going for 250? 

hes an idiot... i hate talking to people about shoes for this very reason... if your not gonna pay why waste my time thinking your getting box price... who tf gets box price after rd unless its a restock... had someone ask about the chi x when i wore them one day weeks after rd & i said they were $160 but i can find you a pair under $210 this fool says i got $165 if you can find me a ds pair ... i just walked off on his dumb %%*

It truly makes me sick, i honestly just shouldnt talk to people who arent knowledgeable about supply and demand with sneakers anymore. People think they are above it, and they can just get what they want for retail when they want it.

Right, I had a friend who bought an extra pair in case he got a cancel on a site. Just so happens had a another friend miss out. Friend 1 said he would hook friend 2 up for what he paid plus shiipping. Came out to like $210 and friend 2 tried to low ball friend 1. Pissed me off trying to help people out SMH

 

[snaggykicks]

compared these to my taxis they both are nice but the shape of the cdp taxis are a little better not as long also the back of the shoe is thichker the 2012 playoffs are long and thiner on the back part but all in all good release

 

[airron]

Time is money, the time spent either camping/sitting at home online waiting. Also gas money/ missing out on doing other things. There is a tax on getting shoes after release day, some fools just dont get that.

your not going to be hit with fees from end you only ordered a single pair... the only thing END is notorious for is shipping fast, no bs & stating actual vales on the customs tickets.... so if you ordered more than one in a single order you will get hit otherwise your good...& fyi im talking from experience my pair from end will be here this afternoon

The day is looking better & better ...Playoff's this afternoon... locked up a pair of blk/siren red roshes(for $88 shipped

) & might get the xi low this afternoon too

I'd be careful if I were you. You're walking a thin line my friend
