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

[El Rey]

A couple weeks ago ebay sent me a 10% sneaker purchase coupon, happened to have sold a few things on GOAT (who seem to offer better initial payout option than StockX) so I finally took the plunge and ordered myself a pair of Wave Runners and they just arrived today.
If you are patient and keep an eye out, eBay is a better option for buying kicks - 99% of the time shipping is free and fast, authentication guarantee is included. So you are just paying what the seller is asking (most of the time you can make an offer) plus sales tax (if applicable)
Otherwise all is quiet on the collecting front. Not a lot on the calendar that I have to have until the Jordan Lost and Found are released. Even then, anything I try to win on SNKRS, Confirmed or raffles I just assume is going to be an L and if not it's a pleasant surprise.

The boy picked these out for school. The spot we went didn’t have his size so I looked online & they were like $50 less at Goat brand new so I jumped on that. Want to get him like 3 more pair but he’s so damn picky.

He wears the same size as me now so if he wants I’ll give him some of my old kicks.

I’m trying to talk myself out of going for the Georgetown 6s this weekend.

I don’t need them and I’m not a big 6 guy.

And I’m trying to avoid buying anymore suede shoes for the time being.

…but they’re so damn nice to look at.

I've actually been hitting on the SNKRS app for a few pairs here and there lately could be that no one wants the ones that are there but i got the Smoke Grey OG Ex Jordan 1 Low's and also the Stealth's too and also getting the Jordan 1 Low Taxi's too. I really want the Starfish Jordan 1's and also the Lost and Founds Jordan 1's too but not sure on those cause there going to be in high demand even though i heard of a million pair's being released.

Anyone get good luck on the Fire Red 3's from the app this morning i hit on them in my size cause i heard they sold out not too long after i got them. I have been hitting on some pretty solid stuff off the app within the last couple of months hopefully it keeps going in that direction though.

Congrats! I was able to get a pair. Might give them to the boy.

I tried them on at Foot Locker but ultimately passed on them. For the sake of saving space & especially money I decided a while ago to just stick with Jordan 1s (mids & highs, no lows).

for the hell of it I entered for the Lightning McQueen Crocs, since there was hype on them, and ended up winning. I always get W's on the ones I am indifferent to

I actually hit EA on Finish Line for pick-up and ship-to. I've been waiting for this pair since the release was announced. The only OG Jordan's on my list is the White Cement 3 which has been noted for release next year.

While at Finish Line Saturday I also picked up a pair of the Orlando OG Shaq Reebok Pump .

I had several pairs arrive this week:

AJ 3 Fire Red
Dunk by You - Chicago Colorway
Air Max Penny - Photon Dust

Did anyone get the Yellow Toe/Taxi Jordan 1's there was a shock drop off nike app the other day or so ago heard quite a few ended up hitting on them. There are more cause it doesn't officially come out on the app until the 24th of this month if you want them i've had mines for a week or two already off GOAT. There was a shock drop today for the Jordan 1 Denim but i have no interest in those at all so i passed on them i'm waiting on the StarFish and the Lost & Founds but i have a feeling those are going to be hard to get if not super pricey on resales down the line.

If I can find the yellow toe at retail when they come out I’ll definitely pick them up. I agree in the Lost & Found, I’ll try for them at retail but if not I’ll pay resale for them if I have to.

I hit on the taxi shock drop yesterday, so I was 2/2 on indifferent hits this week
Got EA this morning for womens AJ1 denim, passed on those but found out other folks got EA for the dunk low argons, which I really want, which means I won't hit on when they drop

[jd_from_da_80s]

The boy didn't like them, which is disappointing for a number or reasons but the main one being I just ordered the Desert Elephant like 2 days ago from Hibbert.

Gonna hold on to these til the spring, maybe they'll grow on him by then.

I also got EA for the AJ1 denim, don't think the misses would like them so I didn't get them. I should have being that everybody else in the house getting new kicks this week. Maybe I'll try for them 2moro, I don't see those selling out anytime soon.

So I finally got back to the office this week & my freaking shoes are gone! As well as a old pair of Lebron's another pair of shoes & a suit! It's my first time back in the office in 2.5 years & I just found out my office has been moved twice & we're supposedly moving to a new building in November. (we've been moving since 2017) Good news is I'll be reimbursed for my stuff. Think I'll add some holy grails to the list

Damn, that stinks! That's awesome that they're going to reimburse you as they should. When you were last at the office, how long did you think you would be gone for? Maybe a month or so?

I hit a pair from SNKRS last Sat (which is amazing since I was driving in NJ).

I won't wear mine until Summer 2023.

my local mall store had a used kicks sale today. I was able to finally get a pair of foam runners. Onyx, which is the color I wanted, my size at that. Only $20 over retail but the condition was 9.5, just ever so slight wear on the soles but thats it.

March 2020 due to Covid. Thought we'd be out 6 months at least.
