Have a weird question for you guys.

Just bought a pair of 3-Lakes off eBay. Supposedly, they're DS. When I pulled them out of the box, they smelled soapy. The bottom sole is clean.

I have never had any shoe (across all brands) smell like handsoap fresh out of the box. Upon very close inspection, there was a tiny dead bug under the insole and a very minute amount of lint. That doesn't 100% confirm they've been worn but they are signs.

Has any who bought the 3-Lakes experienced the same smell out of the box?

How creased are they?  If those things even get looked at hard they'll crease like crazy.

Looks like a duck, walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck - so it must be a duck. The lint, dead bug and scrubbed soles are clear indicators of a sneaker worn once or twice to 'stunt' then resold as DS.

Doesn't surprise me as there are whole bunch of 'new jacks' who have no interest in Reebok jumping on the Ventilator bandwagon due to the hype generated from needless collaborations.

I suppose so. Just needed confirmation.

Knowing my luck, he jumped in a mud puddle and built an ice cream sundae on the toebox. Dropped off at J. Markk and sold. Stuntin' for the 'gram.

The Pumps will be TTS, but I would try on a pair of the Furys before buying if possible. I've found them maybe 1/2 size small (more like 1/4 size small).

thanks for the info!

Those are the very first Omni Lites that Reebok launched almost 10 years a go, man that leather on the pair is awesome.

It will be hard to narrow it down, back in mid 2000's not a lot of people cared about kicks and wrote about it, I will try to find you some info. Post a pick of the heel side too.

Nah they'll drop worldwide. But I went to a BAPE shop here and they said they never stock any AAPE stuff so they won't release them at any BAPE stores...

You know how it is, Reebok barely gets any attention today, back than was close to absolute 0.

 

[matters7]

Very true, still the case lol
