Sneakers |OT| Hypebeasts We Know About Ya

Man I really like the materials on the Kaws. Even for that price I may try to grab a pair. Is there any info if this is going to be impossibly limited?

Any reputable ways to buy new off of eBay?

I've gotten new shoes off of ebay without any problems. Find a trusted seller (I rule out any seller with negative reviews in the past month/fine tooth comb negative reviews in the past 6 months, for example, unless it's for something like the seller not accepting returns for the person ordering the wrong size or something, which is the buyer's fault haha).
 
Wore my navy Inikis today (though the surprise rain didn't really stop me) and yep, more comfortable than NMDs but below UBs.

I really want a red pair now though... *prays for ADC restock*

OK cool thanks!
 
Anyone here know how the Pureboosts fit? I just bought my first pair of prime knit nmd's and its crazy how soft and breathable the knit is lol. I usually wear a 9.5-10 for like Sk8-his or nikes but I went 9 for the NMDs. I really really want the pureboosts but im afraid i might fuck up the sizing ordering em online.

Some weird stuff going on with 350 restock. Last week Size? released pirate blacks and today JD Sports released more belugas.

Super HAPPY with the 2017 version of these. One of my top 5 sneakers of all time. Now with some quality (2013 was meh in comparison).

Don't get boosts!! They'll ruin sneaker comfort for you!!!

jk. get boosts.

I agree with this somewhat. While I love my Ultra Boosts, I can't wear them everyday.

Do you think they're worth the 350$ asking price I'm seeing for preorders?

If I failed at getting them for retail... I would pay that much.

It really depends on the individual though. Some people won't dare to pay $200 more than retail for a sneaker. Some people love certain styles/models so much that money/value is less of an issue.
 
The Boost shoes look too flimsy to me usually. And the white like Styrofoam bothers me.

But those HAVEN UltraBOOST in all black look more substantial.

Holy crap the adidas site is having seizures trying to cop the white EQT 93/17

Eh well, I think the black colourway looks better and it's too much money for me right now.

I'd say to wait until release day, it seems these will be at least as available as the breds from last year, youll always find a young kid or two trying to make a quick buck, I was able to pay 250 last year for bred's after release.

Plus honestly, hype for AJ1's is dropping again, its all about the boost this year. I just got a sweet deal on a pair of Royals from 01, nearly half the price they were going for 2 years ago, not much more than those 350.

Anyone have any of the tubular boots? Seems like they are all on sale and the dooms and prime knit versions look alright for $70. Need some shit kickers for Coachella but I'm wondering about the comfort for all day use.

I have some invaders and they're fine but nothing to write home about. I definitely would not recommend them for Coachella. I'd get something with some cushion. I'd grab a cheap pair of Alphabounce. I also bought a pair of Dooms from the urban outfitters sale last week. Haven't gotten them yet but have always loved the silhouette.
 
Edit: Figured it out!

Anyone familiar with this description? I haven't ordered something from overseas in a long time and I'm not familiar with what this means exactly haha 🙃

These are the shoes that I got from Hanon-Shop. I hasn't gotten a notification about picking anything up, or is that referring to say, the USPS?

My partner just got a pair of Tubular Doom core black last week. I like the look but not a big fan of it actually on feet, tbh. He says they're quite comfortable, though.

Very weird choice to specifically buy for a festival, imo. Just get a cheap pair of Vans or whatever.. shit's gonna be trashed by the end regardless.

Isn't that tracking for Parcelforce? Once it's in your country you need to track it using your local postal service.

(Going from that description though I'd say its expecting you to pick it up from a depot somewhere, unless it's referring to the local delivery service picking it up.)
