forgive my ignorance, but I don't recall a XI home?

graffitis were the homes

Market value is huge, in your case you could get multiple pairs of corks for a yeezy.
To me personal value > market value doe 

And I'm taking WTL for 2ks all day, WTL concept and homage to the Bron line is way dope than anything the 2ks bring to the table. Thats me though. 

why not just flip the 2ks.. take the cash and buy a WTL.. 

I mean you can get 700-800 right now all day for 2k14s.. and i see pre orders now for them under 500 dollars.. 

i dont understand why anyone would leave 200-300 dollars on the table. 

it def made sense to sell the 2k as soon as they came in and hold the money for the WTL. the only site we saw doing sub 500 for the WTL is kinda sketchy at best.
the fact that the value of the 2k brons has dropped makes it tougher to do a str8 trade now.

I know all the hype is around the WTLs right now. But what do you guys think about the Everglades? I picked up a pair on my discount and it's a love hate shoe for me right now. In hand the shoe looks so so. But when they are on foot and in perspective they look fire. I think this is a very overlooked colorway that a lot people are sleeping on.

Thoughts?

in hand, that print looked terrible.. it honestly looks like a sticker put on their.. on foot you probably cant tell but, it still bothers me..

I mean the same argument can be said.. on foot fakes dont look fake!  but there still FAKE!  lol

graffitis were the homes

never once did I hear or see them referred to as homes, but I guess if any shoe is considered a home it'd have to be that one. It still is a predominantly black shoe, though.  

 

[Gordonson]

If you like the shoe doesn't matter what we think.

I'll never understand why people care what others think about a shoe that they like beyond wondering if that pair can be had for cheaper later.

naw they were definitely considered the homes since they released. no one calls them that tho.

here is an article calling them homes: http://nikelebron.net/2014/01/01/nike_lebron_xi_home_graffiti_official_release_date/

Totally agree with not leaving money on the table however WTL prices right now are around $1k..2k is worth less than what these WTL pairs on the market are going for.

I've only seen 1 preorder for WTL and that was in here and I have a really hard time believing that guy will honor his price once these actually do release.

 

[dwoodactennis]

Overlooked yes. Slept on? I don't believe so. Nike finished up the Lebron line with what some people would say are their biggest releases; the 2k14s, SBs, and WTLs. Everglades were dropped right around the 2k fiasco so they never got a fair shot. Add to the fact that you had WTKDs coming, JB releases like Carmines and Champagne/Cigars as well as NSW releases like the Penny pack. Too much money being delegated elsewhere.

Never heard how the Hero Elites panned out...did some hooping help the fit/feel at all?

WTL will NOT stay at 1k.. the only reason they are there now is because no one knows a release date (june 28??)  or distribution . if these are as widely distributed as KDs which it looks like they will be.. then prices will drop.. probably below 500.

all speculation. no one really knows the numbers what the people as a whole will pay. we just have to wait and see.

hooped in the elites, feel better than the normal XI, however i feel the traction wears down faster than the normal XI (i hoop indoors)..but the grip is much much better and cushioning is just as the same as the normal XI.

I wouldn't say speculation.. i would say educated guess.. i mean bouncewear, end, hanon shop are all going to have them.. usually means the usual subjects FNL, FTL, champs, eastbay, etc will have them.. 

if they make a good amount (similiar to what the KD numbers) of them to help quench most of the demand prices wont be anywhere near 1k.. and it makes sense from a nike perspective to cash in on a 250 dollar show with a ton of hype that will sell out in large numbers.. 

but i digress.. keeping buy them for 1k right now.. 

 

[bboyd]

when "prices", which would be the market price and not what one guy about to lose his house charges one person, fall below $500 for in hand, authentic WTL's send every one of those sellers my way.

naw.... pairs will be sniffed up like Columbian coke. this is a simple case of supply being greater than demand by far. KD line hasn't had much super reselling shoes since the 4s. cant even compare the 2.

in that case, i will make sure to get as many pairs as i can to flip em for 1k each!

good luck man.
Once a date is set, I'm sure we will start seeing members who we've never seen before or that only pop up in threads for the hyped shoes. It's like how the corks dropped last year and even the champ pack. So many personalities from out of nowhere that don't even fool with brons.

I mean heck, look at the 2k thread when it was bumping. How many members in there were part of that thread but weren't anywhere near this thread?

LOL i can attest to that....that 2K thread was on fire before it got the ax.

I noticed that with WTKD's too, like where did all these people come from that was one of the slowest threads at some points.

 

[redrum3281]

we don't even have a release date yet and people been randomnly showing up that haven't been here since the FI

 

[Deleted member 72674]

Everglades did it to themselves. The sticker print was disrespectful.

TRUTH!

However they worked great to turn that expiring $50 GC into $50 cash on the return!

The upper started to give a little bit. But I also swapped a broken in lunarlon insert from my Aways into them. Because it was broken in my foot sat slightly lower and it relieved almost all the pinching from lateral shank. So, they did get much better from my initial experience.

However, I just realized how heavy and clunky they feel compared to other hoop shoes. Forgot them the other day so I hooped in some 2k4 huaraches that I haven't played in in years. Light, smooth, non-restrictive. Went back to elites the next day and it was like I put bricks on my feet.

So, the elites got much better after a few wears and the pain went away after switching the insert. But when it comes down to it, they're still the most stiff and clunky hoop shoe I've ever played in.

Dudes can say what they want SB's look good if they were dropping in limited numbers the nayesayers would be singing a different tune
