^^ Let me know what you think of those! I'm planning to buy the Pimento/Black or Volt colourways...

They're really nice. I ran 4 miles in them yesterday and felt great. They're much lighter than the previous air max's. They took a lot of unnecessary padding out of the tongue and sides. They always look cool as well. =D

Some are a hell of a lot dirtier than others. None of them look like this any more bar the cigars.

Anyone else here (besides me) score those AJ 3 1988s?
I got a pair for myself and 1 for my sister. Ive had great luck for the past 6 months on finishline, fire red 4s, raptor 7s, black cement 4s, playoff 11s, thunder 4s, black/red 13s and now these cement 3s. All with 20 dollar discounts from winners circle. Hope i have the same luck next week with the royal blue 1s.

damn where do you live at dude?
 
edit: ryutaro...i didn't even try to get them. Such a hassle to get Js nowadays =(

Mine was dumb luck. My friend's wife was on F5 alert on all the major shoe sites for him. She asked if I wanted her to try for a pair if she could get them.

I said, sure why not (thinking there was no way). She worked her magic and bam! they arrive next week sometime.

Yep, go back one page. ;)

My man...
 
I picked up Fire Red 5s at a Champs near Seattle...

...on release day...

...at 3pm...

...in my size...

Seattle must hate Js. When I lived in LA, you weren't finding Retros for sale an hour after the store opened, much less @ 3pm that day, in your size.

I bet if those 1988s were B&M available, I could have walked in and got 'em...maybe.

Anyone know which online stores will be selling the Kamikaze II next weekend? Trying to get an account set up so I don't miss out on the, what seems to be, last Sonics color way. I figured Reebok.com but I don't see any account creation options.

Seems like the uk always gets shafted in terms of sneakers, niketown in London has nothing apart from the custom stuff. Footlocker in Oxford street has a basketball themed sneaker bit in the basement but they rarely get my sizes.
 
So paranoid about being able to land the Royal 1s, I bought myself a pair of Nike Dunk High "J Pack" sneakers in royal blue.

I'm so...ashamed. It was a moment of weakness! And I got these for $46 from Jimmy Jazz, so if I do get my royal 1s I'll just put them away or something, right?

Dang. I'm still trying to figure out the best place to get 'em from.

bitch I'm taking calls.
I too am having some doubts about realistic probability of grabbing a pair of Royal 1s, trying to temper the probability of disappointment with looking at some insurance buys like Captmcblack.

These are awesome. Where did you pick them up?

Ccs has them here:

Premier:

I had a pair of these before and really loved em so i bought another. The dark grey is actually a griptape like material.
 
These are awesome. Where did you pick them up?

I picked both pairs up from the local skateshop in my hometown although that was about a year and a half ago... and in the UK.

Premier still have the griptape ones here and I can say from owning a pair the first time they ran that colourway that they are an incredibly hard wearing shoe. I wore them every day for nearly 4 years before I became a shoe fanatic and they served me extremely well so I rebought them.

I can't remember the name of the other colourway but if truth be told, they became my beaters extremely quickly. The suede darkened almost instantly and now they look dirty all the time, no matter how much I try to clean and brush them. Only had them a year. I'd check out any online SB dealer as there are a couple pairs in similar colours but different materials which might improve their life.

I managed to get a pair of black/white Kamikaze II and the Fighter Jet Foamposites, thinking about selling the Foams tho.
 
Honestly, id be happy to help out fellow gaf members with future releases (purchased online or locally). Of course it would also be nice to receive the same treatment. If im able to get any extra pairs of any release id be willing to pass them on for very resonable prices. (Thinking around the lines of receipt cost plus shipping)

I have no interest in making any profits, just in hopefully helping others get their shoes, and hopefully mine as well.

Wait, when did Balenciaga become a big thing in sneakers? Is that the only luxury brand sneaker that's really popular? What about brands like Bottega Veneta, Versace, Hermes, LV...etc

Margiela is big too. I'm not really into that high end stuff...like for the price of those shoes I'd just get some rare J's. (shrugs)

Huh? Their Men's sneakers are a huge seller. Those luxury brands you listed usually make complete shit.

Look out for Dior, Raf Simons, Balenciaga, Lanvin, Margiela, Common Projects, KVA, Ann D, etc.

If you could help me get those royals in 9.5 or 10, it'd be much appreciated. Those are all I'm interested in now...until the aqua 8s and grape 5s come out, lol.
