Price on shelf is what you pay, sales tax is already included in the price. Chinas are available at NikeTown at Oxford Circus.

Thanks man!! Looks like I'm going to ask him to buy me a pair!! $160 sounds pretty reasonable coz even if I were able to get a pair from the states it'd be $130+tax+maybe shipping then I'd have to spend more money on gas just driving 2.5 hours to Seattle!

Do you know if the special box and lacelocks are available still or is it just the GR?

yo
i'm from canada as well, and i would suggest you check out deadstockshoes.com for GR. they might not have china's, or some other limited released, but if there's a pair that has caught your attention on the site, then it's a steal!

$125 SHIPPED to Canada. i msged the dude, he said he ships USPS so you won't get dinged in brokerage fees. you might get hit with taxes, but you likely won't. still beats $179.99+tax. 

if i was interested in some GR, i'd purchase from there. but i'm buying ID's only with the help of some people in the US

I used to buy from them before they became deadstock shoes, bought my carpe diem iv's from them for like $120 shipped!!

should've bought one more.. I beat the hell out of those shoes haha it sucks not having better shoes and prices up in the north haha I've been buying from eastbay and picking it up from my cousin's place but it's a long drive and it's been a hassle haha

no, the special box were sold out at most places as soon as it came out, it came out last week, people lined up for those, the regular box were a limited gr, but since it's price tag is way higher then here in the states, people aren't buying them, the MSRP for kobe vi in china is about $198.

must be even better for a Kansas Jayhawk fan. Adidas sponsorship

 

[yungone350]

did anyone see the Kobe Chinas on ebay, those have to be fakes, lace lock looks funny and they come in a regular black venomenon box. they asking for like 300 shipped.

 

[msw1233]

got mine today - much better in person IMO. still don't like the lasering/whatever on the heel and the stuff behind the tongue. but overall, definitely like these.

[s dubl]

I bet Kobe wears the Chinas on thursday against San Antonio for Chinese New Year....

 

[23rakim45]

I guess you could call the Chinas a "limited general release" over here thus far as the only place they have dropped physically is NikeTown and other then that they're available online.

They could show up at HoH, but no one is sure.

Yeah, China sells shoes higher than most places for some reason... Last pair I got in China were the China III's I never understood that since production comes fom China, it'd make more sense for them to be cheaper since there would be easier and cheaper distribution channels.. Thanks for the info tho, wouldve been sweet to get the box and locks! I'm happy with the GRs tho!!

How limited would you say they are?? Hopefully my size 8US will still be around when my buddy gets to go shopping.. I'll be sad if not, after getting all excited about it haha

 

[xangelico]

of course, today is the new year.

 

[trunkz550]

I'm starting to get excited about those 3D's. Not sure about the OC's yet but my boy may get them early from his "hookup" so I'll reserve my final judgment after I see them in person.

 

[bc60997]

^^^ The 3 different LA shoes in the All Star pack are really starting to grow on me...especially the 3D's!

 

[button999]

Just finally got my del sol's...a day after UPS was supposed to deliver them. UPS delivered them yesterday to somebody that has a similar address, but is in the next town over. Thank God the person they got delivered to was honest, they could have kept them easy, but the outer box wasn't even open. Unlike Jayhawk I felt no desire to tip my UPS man, unless you count wanting to tip Mr UPS employee of the month over onto his ***
