I have a 60,000 insurance policy on my home and I don't have to show receipts.

I know when I got renters insurance I asked about that because I have some expensive guns and the lady told me that without receipts I wasn't gonna get anything if they were stolen or if my place went up in flames.

Waiting for deeper discounts on SB's then I might think about copping.

Same.

Thanks for the help, I messaged a few seller's now I'm just waiting on replies so I can get a pair.

Speaking solely from my situation, I think it's for comfort. Even though the shoe is easy to legit check and receipt's don't always authenticate the shoe's, the listing's I'm going through either have low quality picture's, stock picture's from release day, or they won't take picture's of identifiable part's to the shoe. But I completely agree with what you said, me mentioning anything about a receipt being a make or break situation is pretty naive on my end.

Either Nike's lack of quality control or the grey market stepping up theirs really makes buying shoe's from a reseller a very uncomfortable situation for me. Especially when a seller does the complete opposite of what your example. I mean, the high positive feedback rating and many high quality detailed picture's makes me more comfortable. But, a lot of people opened up eBay account's and have zero feedback, one picture, or low quality/stock release day picture's in the listing's I'm going through. After reading a lot of the comment's and realizing that a receipt is pretty easy duplicate it pretty much narrowed everything down for me and so I'm messaging buyer's I feel comfortable with lol.

I didn't get into the thread until WTL's approached because that was the one shoe that caught my eye from the XI line especially with all that went into the shoe. So striking out kept me out of the thread for about a week or so until the week of the China's because that was another must cop for me that fortunately I was able to get. But seeing the WTL's everywhere and knowing I struck out left me overwhelmed with salt, the one thing I have noticed that you mentioned is that the prices aren't what they used to be. Thank you for your help, hopefully someone on the bay responds to my message's and strikes a decent deal with me sooner rather than later lol.

I just check for good pics and tagged pics. If people send fakes then that's what they do. As long as you pay by credit card, you're protected as you can always charge it back. It's just a hassle if you don't get what you paid for but you are protected nonetheless.

You're right, paying with a card through PayPal is good reassurance if anything goes wrong. I guess what I don't want is to deal with is bad experiences lol probably what I hate most about not winning a raffle or copping online on release day. At least then more likely than not I get whatever size I chose and know it's legit.

man you know in the 'hood ain't nobody sayin' any names


suburbs yea; somebody will at least call the cops and alert suspicious activity. That's why I'm glad I live where I live. Crime is the furthest thing from my mind. Never have to stress about packages being left on my front door, etc.

My aunt lives in a condo in the suburbs and in broad day light a guy from another building robbed all her gold jewelry by going through the exterior part of a/c box located in her room. I couldn't even believe it when I heard it because this is supposed to be a good neighborhood and it's broad daylight as well as a hard way to get in.

You're right to be nervous. Esp when dealing with $300 plus transactions.

I just always try to remember Bad transactions are few and far between and most people now  just want to make a little extra money.

If you really want reassurance just do what I do. Buy from the bay from a seller with low # of feedback. Ebay keeps the money locked on hold for longer and the seller won't get it, until you sign off on the transaction. You also seem to get better deals this way.

At this rate, who knows if I'll even get a pair because sellers are blocking me left and right if I offer anything between $340-$360. The lowest offer I've seen since yesterday was $380 plus shipping I believe? But there were seller's who had little to no feedback who I may end up messaging and trying to cut a deal with if thing's go in my favor of course.

What did you think of the China? Have you done the lace swap yet?

 

[The7onius]

Yeah I swapped them out right away..

The shoe is very dope, definitely my favorite of the lows.

 

[macstizo]

^^^ I prefer the blue laces as well

On a side note - time to head to the Orioles/Tigers game!

Go Orioles. I'm rooting for a Royals/Orioles championship series.

Nice lace swap. First pic where it looked good.

Wish we could have gotten 2 sets of lacelocks.

Wonder what it would look like with Gold Lacelock from the ID pairs and blue laces.

 

[earlgotsole]

Ok I got my flame suit on but guys I need a lil help matching these WTL not trying to wear the Nike tee that dropped and I never did a wild colorway in kicks like this before. I was thinking a baseball jersey or basket ball jersey or some kind of dope tee burt every thing i see is too tacky.

I think there's a place to buy lace locks, I wouldn't mind a gold with a bluish tint.

Not too sure of your particular style but with shoes as wild as the WTL's there really no need to get too crazy in your overall fit IMO

The simpler the better, I would do an all white fit (special occasion of course) with them or simply all black. Or perhaps a nice denim with a white tee or any type of plan solid top for that matter.

Or you can always go the Jogger route with any type of plain solid top whether it's a polo or tee. I personally think a jersey type of top would be too much but if one were to go that route it would have to be white based.

In summary the only way one could go wrong on their IMO would be trying to match them too hard

earlgotsole Try not to over think it. I got this tee from a comic book convention. You can win just trying to match one shoe. View media item 1204787

Seriously, just pick a T. You're bound to have a color in the WTL's.
