im passing on the SB to be honest.

have been enjoying the XIs that I own recently. been looking nice since the weather finally broke and I can wear shorts on the weekends.

im done with the elites tho. the color looks nice on the super heros but the shape of the shoe (bulky) and comfort has me on the outs.

 

[laces1983]

dizamm!!...the low cw's are getting better and better IMO!!

if you dont like what it takes to buy a shoe now a days, then dont buy the limited or hyped pairs. walk into your local foot locker how we did 10-20 years ago, and pick out what you like on shelves. thats it. if you dont like the work it takes to get the heat, then get ya a** out the kitchen. stop complaining about it, it isnt about to change anytime soon

This +1.

Exactly why my Nike purchases have been limited. I work my connect if needed but sometimes not even worth the hassle. Cop what's readily available or go with other brands (Li-Ning, Reebok, etc...)

Thank you!

These dudes stay frontin like all they want to do is buy a decent pair of shoes, when in actuality they only want to buy the most hyped c/w's

You can't complain about how competitive it is to buy the shoes that everyone wants when there are always Lebrons, Kobe's, KDs etc sitting on the selves with no competition to grab.

Keep it real, some of y'all just want that one hyped shoe that you think you'll get a gang of notoriety over, then wanna complain and throw temper tantrums when it doesn't happen that way.

 

[Magic33]

Still not sure what I feel about the SB's. Need to see them in person.

PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF JUST MOVING ON IF THEY STRIKE OUT. THEY GOT TO HAVE IT NO MATTER WHAT. WITHOUT THAT MENTALITY, THERE'S 0 STRESS. EITHER THAT OR HAVE LONG POCKETS.

This, the way things are for me. There's a new release every weekend. It's not like you have to agonize for weeks.

If I really want a sneaker I'm willing to pay resell if reasonable(i.e. Lance Mountains and black and red I's). If not reasonable or I'm not willing(i.e. Kobe Masterpieces, Ronnie Fieg releases) I didn't really want them and I can move on.

 

[bigj505]

Man, I must have missed the complaining

 

[spiderjericho]

Yeah, I struck out on the WTKDs last weekend after spending 2+ hours clicking or waiting for SPA.

Sucks to have missed out on it. But two weeks later, Nike is already on the KD7. I missed out on the FI, MvA and Suede for LBXI. I'll probably miss out on the WTL. But due to the new sneaker popularity, Nike is releasing sneakers in all of their lines at a high volume that it's ridiculous to buy every single one. And the way these things appreciate ie go up in resell prices, sometimes it's just better to move on.

 

[barbarianbob]

I don't know what's wrong with em BB but apparently he felt some type of way because it's just random jibberish. Nevermind him

I'm about to upgrade my internet service provider, cop a new laptop and call Everest right now for some computer coding courses as we speak bro I'm tired of missing out on all the hot stuff ..... Now how do you turn this damn thing on

Oh ok not really digging it, was expecting something with a little more detail but it is still early and I think that was the stuff for the swing man lows too so maybe they'll put something out more geared towards the SB's

would rock that ensemble all at once!

I only hope you would be on your way to the gym to ball

 

[spiderjericho]

I saw another shirt a few weeks ago at DSG with the pink, teal and black. Can't remember what it said. I'll probably cop it since it's dri fit.

 

[sprite remix]

I was first to say the KCs are going to be like the LeBron x red suedes. They won't drop.

gotta love when self proclaimed know-it-alls make statements like this and have to eat their words. dude been ghost from the thread since he made this comment

man I actually got past the SPA page but didn't realize it (was removing the thermal print from the foams). Looked up and saw FNL was loaded. Clicked a link and went back to the SPA page. Could only be mad at myself

nike needs to fire the clothing person. less is more. cant understand why nike has to shank every matching tee with some cheeeeeesy punch line. I mean, the matching swoosh is all that's needed.

 

[armokidd]

I can't relate to the science of things now, I'm from a time where multiple shoes wasn't a necessity and random people had a large amount. If you didn't have money to buy a certain shoe you could wait a few weeks and go back and get it, now it has to be release day or you're missing out or paying a ridiculous amount.

I've been doing this for years, over 300 shoes and it just astounds me the state of the sneaker game right now. I don't use bots or buy to resale, if I miss out so be it but I don't like it or respect what these young cats have brought to the game.

You shouldn't have to do home work or hustle to buy a pair of shoes and it's these younger "sneakerheads" who usually say stupid ish like that, they came into a trend that wasn't their own and totally ruined it. To me it's just like the state of the rap game, people realized they can make money and just intruded what was once a respectable art form and ruined it entirely for everyone.

so you're saying u don't like lil wayne lol.....no more complaining on my end either have to adept a bit or miss out.....I haven't walked into a footlocker in 3 years and cop mostly online....do have a friend who hooks me up with GR but would be great if that can turn to limited kicks in time lol.....Now enoughoif the rant gimmie wtl and kc

I do that so often... Go to try on another site, end up forgetting about FNL, go back to FNL, click the shoes, back to the SPA page lol

It's hard to break habits first and foremost. Secondly any type of rebellion on a local level won't amount to much. The harder question is "how do you turn your back on something you love?" People will still step in our place. Bots will still eat up huge amount of stocks. What also makes it crazy is people actually wait the line out and buy the remaining stock so online with the brick and mortar is plagued. Then you think about the teen that is impoverished and can't quite work a decent job to help their family as a lot of people are struggling to this day. It's a plethora of reasons behind why the game is the way it is and "adapt" is all we can do. It would take someone powerful in the sneaker world to initiate the cause. To make sense of that. The I'm not a tech guy tried it on the bred 11 release and shoes still sold out within a 5 minute frame

Agreed that habits aren't easily broken.

But as stated before many times in the past...when it comes to a large corporation like Nike, every dollar counts. Looking at it from the viewpoint of, "if it's not me getting the shoe, it's gonna be someone else" is a slave mentality (to the brand). It might be true in most cases, but at least you have made a change for yourself.

In addition, just like dc30 said above...skip a Nike, in favor for another brand, li ning, reebok or any other shoe you can buy and you still increase the total amount of dollars spent on footwear for that year or quarter, and still decrease nike/jordans market share. And believe me, people are in hot water if that market share dips even 1 or 2%

 

[Nipsey3000]

In addition, dip in market share is the whole reason this limited stuff started anyway.

I forgot the name of the documentary, but it used to be on Netflix. It breaks down a lot relating to nikes market share and why they started making some shoes limited etc

LOL...how will hypebeast match their shoes if they don't have a shirt to match?

If anyone was still looking to compare the turbo green, got this pic form sole collector

I didn't say to stop making shirts tho.

that's not turbo green, that's the shade before it

[SamKQboro]

I live in north Texas, city with population of 100k...the only release we get is super gr and only 1 fsr...I usually just get my shoes online tho...

Heard online is the way to go for those outside of major cities. Was down in sherman a few times for work, was able to cop some gr's fairly easily from a local fnl. Can't remember the name but they had some small shops too. I heard even in Sherman there was decent size lineups.

man I actually got past the SPA page but didn't realize it (was removing the thermal print from the foams). Looked up and saw FNL was loaded. Clicked a link and went back to the SPA page. Could only be mad at myself

Happens to me more often than I like to admit, especially during Saturdays that had BPL soccer on tv. I would get distracted while on spa and look down to see fnl was sitting there with a fsr.

 

[dwoodactennis]

So July 4th is the date I keep hearing for King's Crowns...would Nike do that with the "Independence Day" XI's dropping the same day? 

 

[smithjoshua1108]

My bad, long night last night, still waking up
