You guys have to learn some of the euro sites that carry releases, and not only depend on ndc, eastbay, fl. A lot of times I get through online and avoid the hassle of going to a store. The main ones have  fast shipping the only concern is duties which luckily for me are never ridiculous *knocks on wood*

What's the duty on getting something off the euro site. That's what I'm afraid of getting taxed and paying way over retail for a pair of shoes. What sites are the most reliable?

Varies wildly. I've had it come across Scott free and I've had UPS ding me 80%. As long as they don't come DHL, FedEx or UPS you're fine.

Yea if its coming by the main couriers its a gamble. by canadapost its a little better but sad thing is most of them use the fast shipping provided by UPS or Fedex.

My main sites are endclothing.com, size.co.uk, soleheaven.com, crookedtongues.com, wellgosh.com.

But if you are shipping to the USA you can try these sites too in addition to the regular FL, Eastbay etc. but  DUTIES ARE ALWAYS A GAMBLE

Never had an issue with USPS or Asian EMS. If those get dinged its always the appropriate 18% non-NAFTA shoe tariff. UPS adds their own charges as they see fit.

 

[code66]

I agree man, USPS or EMS is solid, UPS has ALWAYS charged me a ridiculous amount for broker fees or customs.

I remember getting a pair of shoes for like $120, but afterwards ended up owing UPS almost $100, I can't remember how the math added up, but I paid them because I wanted my Air Max 90's LOL

Good place to grab kicks in Calgary besides Cross Iron? Here for a few days. Thx in advance!

 

[Bad Religion]

Group 7 on 17th.

Mission if you are into SB's.

Chinook is waaaaay better than Cross Iron for shoes. Cross Iron has a weak Footlocker and the Sportchek is hit and miss.

 

[rai204]

Will drop by Group 7, looks like a killer shop.

Thanks for the heads up about Chinook.

Livestock is no longer here right?

Any chance if you know if any Kobe moonwalkers are still kicking around in the city. Chances are probably pretty slim.

Thanks for your help!

 

[rai204]

One more thing, wheres a good spot that has a big selection of air max 90s?

 

[Bad Religion]

AM 90's would have to be either Champs or FL at Chinook... if there are any AM 90's they'd be at either of those two. 

I assume you're talking about the Adidas Kobe Two retro? I'd say you might be out of luck. Sportchek in Chinook might have some left.

Yea, Livestock closed. Their location didn't help much.... you had to go down an alley to get to it near 21st ave. Literally no one knew it was there unless you were looking for it.

 

[rai204]

Thanks again for the speedy help fam, hope I can find a pair in the city to bring back home to the Peg.

 

[Bad Religion]

Sorry, Adidas Kobe 1. Don't know why I had the two in my head.  

 

[palma]

Trying to join the Buying and Selling Kicks BC. Anybody able to approve me? 

 

[funthera]

Can anyone update me on what Edmonton's Outlet has? Any Rosches/Flyknits? J's?

 

[charles1997]

Hey, I've just moved to Regina from Scotland and was wondering what decent stores there were in Regina/Saskatoon if any? Apart from the usual footlocker

 

[Bad Religion]

I'm really sorry to hear that. Like everyone in Saskatchewan, you'll want to do everything enjoyable in Alberta. 

Seriously though, last time I was in Regina, Tiki-Room had a great selection of SB and a couple trend SKU's.

 

[charles1997]

Thanks, do you know if there's anywhere that sells Jordan's/Nike basketball?

 

[Bad Religion]

I cannot remember if they have a Footlocker or not... there is one in Saskatoon. You could try another shop, Coda.

Hopefully a NT'er that lives there can chime in.

Any one able to cop kobe mid ext?

 

[earvintorres]

Any one able to cop kobe mid ext?

Not me. I don't like the way it's executed. Reminds me of CP3's Jordan signature.

 

[rai204]

Q

Any one able to cop kobe mid ext?

Neither did I. Grabbed Beethovens instead, gone till November... Anyone get any good pick ups lately?

No more size 9, and 9.5. Use SHIPCOWTOWN for free shipping if you're in Calgary.

 

[tbrights]

Regina

Tiki Room -- great selection of SBs and other skate stuff
