Are You A Sneakerhead?? Post Your Latest Shoe Purchase!!!

[SlaughterX]

Called my local FNL to inquire about the Hyper Royals... which they said they would not be getting. However they told me they just got in the rest of their UNCs, so I got my size 10.5 in those finally!

AJ 1 Hyper Royal Release is going to be a Huge Problem

[Ray Jackson]

Copped the AF1 Silver Snakes off eBay today for $100 shipped today...that’s $30 under retail.

Should soften the sting of taking a big, fat, disgusting L on the Jordan 4 University Blues this week.

I want those shoes so g-damn bad.

And I almost certainly won’t get them.

...it’s a tragedy.

[SlaughterX]

Man Finish Line has been trying to **** me over on my so called guaranteed pair I used 1k of my Status points to redeem. I think I'm about to retire from the shoe game here soon, or at least cut back drastically. Not worth all the trouble these days, and I already have a bunch of shoes...

oh wow, those AF1 Silver Snakes look sweet

I'm getting Nike Court Vision Mid sneakers in the mail this week, cause the only size they had at Tyson's Corner were way too big and my foot was sliding around in it.

[Ray Jackson]

Draw just ended on the University Blues.

...eagerly awaiting my rejection email.

[Ray Jackson]

Once again, Ray Jackson gets up at 7am and takes a big, fat L.

...right up the bunghole.

[Ray Jackson]

So the SNKRS app supposedly uses a random draw system now that’s designed to reduce the impact of Bots on release day.

And yet there already resellers on eBay with 80 pairs of the Jordan 4 University Blues in all sizes.

...how does that happen?

[SlaughterX]

SNKRS definitely aren't bot proof, and them changing it to draws doesn't make a difference. There are plenty of other websites that had them though and usually bots buy up the vast majority of all stock, that's how the game is now. Anyway I struck out as well, which is especially bogus since I redeemed 1,000 of my Status points to ensure a pair from Finish Line, or so they said. Instead, I am met with complete incompetence across the board, not a sole (haha, soul) knew a damn thing about it, not even the supervisor I spoke to, and all of them basically gave me BS excuses with 0 follow up. I think I am done doing business with them, not that you really had much of an opportunity anyway unless you get lucky in a raffle and their employees don't try to screw you over.

Anyway... on a much bright note, I was able to hit on a pair of the much more rare AMM Jordan 3s, so I am super excited about that!

I saw your post on the niketalk forum.

I can’t even post there because the confirmation email they supposedly keep sending me never goes to my email account.

...it’s bizarre.

I wish I could build up some status points, or flex points or whatever they’re called, with Footlocker or Champs. But they don’t have anything I want to buy. Except shoes that sell out instantly.

[SlaughterX]

DM me the next few pairs of shoes you want and size and I will try to help you out if it's a pair I don't want personally. I generally don't go for red based colorways, with a few exceptions.

The Jordan 1 Reverse Shadows are my most prized upcoming release.

...appreciate the offer.

[Ray Jackson]

Draw entered for the Travis Scott 6s.

L taken in T minus 7 minutes, 52 seconds and counting.

...up yours Phil.

Glad I'm not the only one who's noticed that. I'm really just about to stick with regular AF1 lows and Huarache's and a few other non Jordan/non exclusive/not high demand footwear. Honestly, those companies don't care who gives them the money. Bots or otherwise. The AJ VI carmine strikeout on the replen on SNKRS when I was there before even J23 sent a notification was pretty much the last straw for me.

I wish I had known this before the Raging Bulls dropped.

...really wanted.

[Ray Jackson]

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a pair of the J5 Raging Bulls for $250 on eBay.

I don’t want to do it.

I said I was done getting butt romped by resellers.

But that price is as good as it gets for those red suede beauties.

...and I want em bad.

That's how I am right now with the Carmine VI (except the getting butt romped by resellers).

Yeah, but I'm not too crazy about buying sneakers on ebay these days.

[Ray Jackson]

I had a chance to grab the Raging Bulls yesterday for a great price on eBay...relatively speaking.

But I had just entered a raffle the day before.

Somehow i just knew that if I bought em for resell $ that I would find out the next day I had won the raffle.

But now that I passed on the resell, I know beyond any shadow of a doubt that I’m going to get an email tomorrow from the raffle people saying, “FUNK YOU.”

...does god really exist?
