Seriously feeling these Vans X Peanuts Sk8 Hi, and not just because I got it in the smallest possible size I can wear without having to bind my feet.

So the very first ever SF-AF1 Mid in the black camo dropped an hour ago and its sold out. I was using this to gauge interest since i wanted the white one, and now i know im going to have to battle for it when it drops.

Im not interested in this color though

Yeah

I literally picked up a pair of the Highs yesterday so I sat the tiger camo drop out but I'll be there for the red or triple white Mids

Its weird.I didn't get any reserve for these. Is it random or something?

Not sure. I was using the SNKRS app, and it said it drops 10am, so i went on 10:02am just to see the demand, and it had my size and everything. Then checked again before 11am and everything gone.

How true is the whole "coloured boost wears off with use" thing? I tried googling but couldn't find any evidence. I've heard it a lot. Stay away from coloured boost midsoles cos the colour will crack or fade. Can get a pair of trip black 3.0s for cheap and this is stopping me

Well white boost gets permanent stains and dirt fast so it's not like you're avoiding anything either way. I say go for it

I think that's only true with customs...

Most people take a pic of their black boost customs to show off online the moment they are finished before any use so sure they look perfect. But the fact is that most customs starts to crack after some use.

I run in my triple black UB almost everyday and the boost sole has a lot of dust on it, but the color has not worn out at all.

A little wipe from a cloth and its back to as it was. No chipping. I can even take a picture to show how it looks if u want.

One thing tho, the continental outsole is starting to slightly wear down below.

Was scoping for cheap sneakers today since I'm trying to get some new outfit pieces while also sticking to a pretty limited budget since I'm basically broke. I'm thinking the KD Trey 5 V's are pretty alright for $120 CAD. I think these just dropped recently.

 
Yeah fitted will be the new look forever going forward.

Slightly baggy may come back in waves but we'll never see XXXL basketball jerseys and pants legs falling over the shoes as outfit fixtures again, thank god

I would be careful saying never. I never thought the styles from when I was in middle school (I'm 37 now) would come back, but they did.
 
Sorry if it's been mentioned, but anyone know typically what time Adidas puts new shoes up on their site? I'm trying to get those Adidas x Porter Nmd Chukkas. I thought it'd go up at midnight eastern-time on Adidas.com, but nothing yet.

EDIT: Nvm just found it. Not up yet for purchase. Thanks wesleyshark.

Managed to snag a pair of New Balance 791 - white with the gum soles - on JCrew before they were out of stock again. Get to try running in my PureBoosts this week. I'm the point where I think I might have more shoes than my lady friend. ... Has anyone here ever bought shoes for their g/f as a surprise? I feel like she might be more okay with my shoe collection if she gets to update hers as well, but I'm not sure what styles she likes (though I do know the brand).

I think I'm done with joggers. Nowadays I much prefer a cropped chino. The only joggers I rock are sweatpants joggers, like Nike's tech fleece sweats.

My man.

I do still wear a slim pair of joggers from Produkt now and then, but cropped chinos are the business right now.

I'm so glad cropped pants came into style for men, I've always been about the rolled up jean or chino so I can show off my ankles, pretty much since I've been into fashion. I'm also a sucker for a good 3/4 length pant, so I can show off a bit more of that calf. I'm a temptress, I know

I still wear joggers every so often, but that's due to being of shorter height so always getting pants to cuff just right can be hit or miss. It's easier sticking with a 30 inseam despite it being a touch longer than I need lol.

That said, I honestly love Uniqlo's ankle chinos (granted for me, they're the perfect length despite for most people of taller height, they'd show off the ankles lol) and when it's a bit hot outside, I've rolled the cuff a bit higher so that they'd be a cropped length.
