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

[El Rey]

sold my UNC 6 locally this morning, less than 24 hrs after posting them. I did like them but I am too OCD about keeping all that white clean, the creasing
Got lots of bites on my dazzling blue and they're pending local pick up, then just gotta find a pair in my size

[El Rey]

sold the dazzling blues today, lots of interest but one girl messaged me days ago and offered $350 if I held them until today. That essentially paid for my own pair I ordered on ebay. Speaking of ebay, they sent me a 5% off coupon code which took $18 off my order which was nice.
Thinking about listing some deadstock on ebay. Anyone list there before? I know they advertise cheaper listing, final value than StockX.

today Nike released that they are cutting the stock allocated to Foot Locker by 40% and they want to focus on their own retail stores
Also just reported a little while ago, no UNC 6 release on SNKRS this weekend, the shock drop was it for SNKRS and everything else has to be through other retail channels.

Pulling stock out of Foot Locker will be a Game Changer in my opinion. Foot Locker managers can no longer "back door" pairs of Hyped releases and the FLEX Program has turned into a complete joke! Time will tell what the result is.

Glad I hit on the Shock Drop on the UNC 6's and don't have to worry about that pair...I think resale price will increase as bots and resellers will clean up all the remaining pairs on Saturday's online release. I saw somewhere that total stock was 140,000 pairs and Nike Shock Dropped 70,000 pairs.

This Game has Truly Changed!

on top of that SNKRS just announced an update to SNKRS pass. They are moving away from first-come, first-serve reservation system and instead moving to a "draw-like" style. You can reserve a pass reservation during an extended window of time. Once the window closes winners are chosen at random and you will be notified of the results.
So basically this is like how Confirmed, Foot Locker, Champs, etc. do it now.

How does Finish Line handle drops? I downloaded the app and it shows the UNC 6 launch scheduled for Saturday but I don't see an option for a draw or anything.

Got the Jordan 12 playoffs 2022

I use a pair of Adidas NEO Cloudfoam Ultimate Sneakers when I expect to do a lot a walking.

Finish Line now drops via EA and you'll get a push notification if you receive EA. Then you have to pull it up in the app and select your size and confirm. It has normally required 2,000 Status Points (based on your purchases) but I haven't received EA since the Racer Blue 5's...

It's become another depressing app

yeah I went to their twitter page this morning and saw a ton of complaints about the EA access for this release. Another sh-t app. I haven't purchased anything from Finish Line in forever and don't foresee doing so any time soon so looks like I'm out of luck there

Post a pic of those Paulo Scaforas when you get a chance

Hey jd, I hadn't thought of it before but do you have a pair of Paolo Scaforas? I'm wondering if you might because I have looked at the shoe trees on their site before and I got the impression that you can only buy them if you order a pair of dress shoes.

Just purchased my first pair of Air Force 1's ever.

They look even better on the foot. Not sure when I’ll actually wear them outside though (I haven’t even worn the royalty 12s out yet). They’ve definitely become one of my favorite shoes in my collection.

Would you say 12s run bigger than other Jordan models?

…tts or half size down?

They run true to size (at least for me).

Hell, I haven't even worn the cool grey XI's. Those XII's I would wear them with spring around the corner.

L on the UNC 6s, one of my most anticipated shoes of the year. Should have known. Ohh well.

Air Jordan 1 High OG "Marina"



for my girl. My local Finish Line got them in, FCFS. Had I called sooner I might have been able to get my size too (I hit for her on SNKRS), ohh well.

Air Jordan 3 "Cardinal"



Honestly didn't even want these... but I tried for em on SNKRS and hit (because that's how it goes). Surprisingly, I actually like them more than expected. Might just get rid of my Katrinas and keep these.

Nike Dunk Hi "EMB"



Actually wanted these and hit on the restock. I really like em but I wish they hadn't put the dumb ass Basketball logo on the heel.

Air Max 90 "Lux QS"



Decided to get my Air Max game up. This has become my son's staple shoe, so I wanted to be able to match him. Luckily these were a floop (not sure if they even released in the US), so I was able to get them under retail, like the good ol' days!

Nike Air Max 90 Premium "Noir"



Took a little while to find these in my size for retail, but I did.

Air Max 90 Premium "Sand Drift"



My girl wanted this pair so now we can all be Air Maxed out!

Air Max 90 SE Signal Blue



I'm sure Levi will destroy these, but it's cool. I would probably buy these too if I could find my size for retail, but it's cool, I'll live vicariously through him.

A few other pairs of AM90s I got for him (full family photo)... he should be straight for a while.



I want to get the AMRC 95s and 97s if I can catch them on sale for a good price, and hopefully I can hit on the Playoff 12s coming out next week.

For me they fit just right in my size (11 1/2). The only Jordan’s I’ve had to go to a 12 on are the 9s.

…we should start a tag team.
