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

[Dubstar]

just got in the mail Nike Court Legacy (black) and Nike Court Vision Lo, and ugh, even though I wear a size 11, they are way too snug - I really wish Nike would make a larger selection of 'wider' size shoes in their traditional styles.

My Jordan 6s don’t really fit great either.

There’s about a thumb in between my toes and the end of the shoe, which is normally perfect for me. But they still feel too big…too roomy.

…They don’t fit like 1s at all.

6s and 12s run big IMO, I always go a half size down. As for the dog tag... it's a cool feature, but I took it off before wearing them. Only shoes I leave tags like that on are boots like Timberlands and Wallabees. Anyway the seller can't leave negative feedback anymore on ebay, been that way for years, but doing so probably won't help anything.

Air Jordan 1 Zoom Comfort PSG





Nike Dunk Free .99



Actually like the PSGs a lot more than I thought I would, but the Dunks are definitely getting sold, I hate multicolor clown shoes. Hit on the Uni gold Jordan 9s yesterday too during the restock, don't really like 9s but these are an exception... will post once they arrive.

Tried to get these for the Mrs but no dice. I may go the reseller route, but I've only did that once for the copper foams.

[SlaughterX]

Funny... I knew my girl wanted them too and told her I would do what I could to try to get them when they came out. Well, I totally forgot about them this morning and she asked me 18 mins after the drop if I remembered to try, and... I didn't. I felt like shit because I knew she wanted these too.

Luckily, I called my local Finish Line and sure enough they had a pair left in her size, so I had my friend pick them up for me and I got them from her on my lunch break, left them on the couch to surprise my girl...

I don’t really care that much about the DMP dog tags.

But the idea that the guy decided to keep it for himself, when he’s selling the shoes at a resell price, is just not cool with me. Combine that with the fact that he wouldn’t respond to messages before the sale and wouldn’t allow for communication after, it just bothers me. Also they did arrive late. Probably mailed em on the cheap.

…feel like he has it coming.

Am I being petty?

Was it pictured?

I just don’t think it’s up to him to decide that he wants to keep it.

…certainly wasn’t mentioned in the item description.

Usually i don't like release date bumps but the South Beach got bumped to Jul 21, due to all of the Space Jam releases. This eases my stress since I will be in Disneyland next weekend when they were originally supposed to release

I am still keeping an eye on the Sprites and they are finally inching close to retail

Also still waiting for my Yeezy calcites that are finally supposed to be delivered tomorrow

Really?

They’re still listed for the 10th on SNKRS.

…I was really looking forward to taking two Ls in one morning for the first time.

yup shows 21 on the app for me
the 10th now only shows the Jordan Retro 3

[Ray Jackson]

I’m not getting up at 7 tomorrow for the White Oreo 4s.

I would cop for retail if I could get em.

But I don’t love em enough to waste my time with the Hail Mary on SNKRS.

…i ain’t gonna beg on this one.

[SlaughterX]

Hit on the 4s for my girl @ Dick's... they seem to still have them in stock.

Why that is exactly, I couldn’t say and can’t ask the buyer, because he disabled the contact seller function for authenticated items. Probably so he can wash his hands of any buyer concerns, post purchase.

The only question is whether or not I should leave him a negative rating? And whether he could make up some bs excuse to do the same to me out of spite.

…what would you do?

Now you guys see why I don't want to deal with ebay when it comes to sneakers. Did the seller show in the pic/s that gold dogs tags and/or mention that they are included? If he did, I would leave him negative feedback and contact ebay. If he didn't, then you don't have much of a gripe. Take the L and see if you can find someone selling the dog tags separately.

Are they brand new (never worn) and the original box included? They would be for collecting and not to wear (the glue would be really dried up) since they are over 30 years old.

In my mind, the dog tags are part of the shoes.

It’s wasn’t his decision whether he wanted to keep them or not.

…especially when he’s selling them at a $50 markup.

[Ray Jackson]

Just copped a pair of these bad boys on Nike.com.

Couldn’t help myself.

If I don’t like em on feet, I’ll return em at the Nike Store.

…might swap out the white laces for red.

[Show spoiler]

[SlaughterX]

Heard those were nice, you should be happy.

Thanks Slaughter, I haven't "hunted" for sneakers in so long I didn't think about calling around. Hit gold on my first call to Jimmy Jazz. CS I spoke to said they would hold them, but when I got there she couldn't find them. Turns out they were the display pair & another worker put them back. I asked if I could get a discount & got $20 off.



Our ladies wear the same size Slaughter, but the Mrs isn't into sneakers (she loves these though) She has no idea how lucky she'd be if she were.

There was a guy there buying a size 11.5 for himself. Said he had a linen suit that went perfect with them. We bought the last two pairs at this particular store.
