you just gotta call your local footlocker and see if they released them already or when they will release them....i'd call everyday if i was you....cuz these ASG's are out and have been copped.

hope this helps =)

I agree with you marley. It's cool if you're going to resell your shoes if you don't plan to wear them. I wear my shoes stickily for indoor b-ball. When I have the chance, I wear them at home. LOL.

 Bust them out Sunday....LOL
 
^^These are Kobe IV's. Just look at the top lace hole on the familiar ankle collar as well as the external heel counter.
 
Ok guys heres alil info(NOT CONFIRMED) just alil info....I printed out our FTL calendar with upcoming sneakers it also had pics....IT did show the DKs as a 2/20 release, HOWEVER I spoke to my DM, FTL is going by the dates Nike gave us months ago. Nike really been slippin on the release dates as of late, so as of what my Dm told me DKs will not release on 2/20 or release again at that matter, just spreading the word im not here confirming they wont release, but I have a very strong feeling we wont see DKs again.. Like I told you guys before once they show up on the shipment manifest( this shows us whats being delivered at our store) that pretty much confirms they are coming, until then I say DKs are a no go...
 
I don't wear all my kicks right away, but I usually end up wearing them at some point.  Some I really would prefer not to wear right now or in the near future and possibly pass on to one of my sons if they turn out to be into hoops or shoes.  They may not appreciate them the way I do, but something about being able to have a "piece" of the past or some basketball/shoe history seems kind of cool to me.  Examples are Penny Foam-Blue, DMP Jordan 6, Kobe 4 CD, Lebron 4 Birthday, Lebron AZG, Kobe 2k4 Huarache, etc...I am debating un-ds'ing Air Max 90 infared, Eggplant Foams, and Altitude 13s this spring, but not before then, as our weather stinks here, and its not worth it to ruin these shoes right now. 

In summary, I say, at some point rock 'em if you got 'em, but I have no issue with keeping a few on ice for the future, your kids, or just because you don't want to see them in anything but their original unworn state.  As far as reselling goes, its entirely up to you. I have resold some stuff because I didn't love it or felt like I could do without, but as far as making big bucks, I think this is the wrong game to be in if thats the only reason you are in it.  I get from most of the fellas/ladies on here, that you gotta have love for the shoes first and foremost.  Anything above and beyond, more power to ya!
 
Deion- Agreed- the contrast between the white flywire and the reptile print is striking.  As for the laces, I wasn't a fan originally of these "thinner" dual colored laces, but after playing in the DKs, I really like them more than the 4 laces, as they were thicker and harder to keep secured.  Just an obvservation.  I will stick with the OEM laces, as I can't handle second party stuff if not totally necessary.  Maybe swap out some laces between pairs, but not totally diff. ones for me.
