Gaf, I'm torn between Adidans Stan Smith and Nike Cortez for a casual, everyday shoe. Anything in your opinion would tip the scales for one over the other (comfort, quality, etc.)?

Thanks.

stans are great and more minimal and formal, never tried on Cortez don't like the silhouette IMO

Not of fan of Cortez either. The Stan Smith is classic. I'd cop the new primeknit version. I tried my brother's pair and they are pretty comfy despite being a fairly heavy.
 
Triple black and solar red NMDs are getting another release by summer, looks like.

If you like bright, obnoxiously colored shoes, believe me, the solar reds are phenomenal.

Maybe if they made enough stock to go around they wouldn't be doing relaunches.

What's up boys, anyone interested in buying some sneakers off me? I hope it's okay for me to post this in this thread.

They've never been worn.. I bought them and learned I couldn't return them. I'm at work right now, so I'll post pics of the actual sneakers later if anyone is interested

See below:

Jordan Horizons
Size 10:
$95


Nike Air Unlimited
Size 9.5
$120


Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Low
Size 10
$85


Prices negotiable within reason. If shipping is cheap, I'll pay it, but if it's expensive we can go half or something.

Everyday wear tends to matt hairy suede, so I'd not recommend doing it. I have a pair of these and they've gone a bit blue/gray where the matting is the worst, but that will obviously only be a problem with black hairy suede.

Yeah, I'll probably skip them. If I hadn't gone HAM over the holidays I'd pick them up for the hell of it, but trying to be more selective here for a few months.

Is there a list of every NMD release? I tried finding one but they are generally only up to last summer.

My girl fell in love with the solar red NMDs 2 weeks ago and was hunting through Goat and Ebay for a pair. This news has set her heart in motion.

Am I the only one that prefers the PureBoost ZG over these new Pure Boosts? The upper is awful IMO

This one goes from the nmd launch to 9/17/16, when the solar reds dropped.

I was in the same boat. Saw them last month and searched high and low for a good deal on a resell and found a pair that wasn't hiked into oblivion. Best of luck to her when the re-release drops!

Might as well wish me the luck, she won't have a clue about this limited release sneaker game biz. Haha it's going to be me waiting up late for that random 3am drop for her!

Y3's are my favorite sneakers. But like someone else said, they do go on sale. About 2 times a year they have a 50% off sale, usually after Xmas and sometime in summer. Also, I find they run about a 1/2 size big. I'm normally size 11, but go for 10.5 in Y3
Forreal??

Wonder if I could fit in a 13.5 then. Hmm...
 
In my experience every Y-3 sneaker goes on sale.

yeah for sure, definitely go on sale and I would rather get these then just regular boosts but I believe they have also been selling out on the preorder, I don't need them thaaaaat bad but they clean af

These look great

yeah I cannot wait for them

Topped out at 13.5?? Goddamnit. Just couldn't quite make it to size 14 =[

As others have stated, you might be fine going half size down. I have some Y3 in 13 and a pair in 12.5 and they both work for me.
