Really liking these Black Toe 31s.
I think I am going to get these as actual basketball shoes.

Here are my pick-ups from December...
This sneaker pick-up was very special to me. I've been wanting a pair of DMP (Defining Moments Package) Air Jordan 11s since they first released in early 2006... I even tried camping out overnight to get a pair. This sneaker has been out of reach from my grasp for over 10 years, but finally in early Dec. I was able to complete my Air Jordan 11 collection by getting these.
More gold! These are so loud/shiny and just simply stunning. The Air Jordan 6 pinnacle in gold is just breathtaking... Everything from the sneaker itself, to the out of box experience... It just screams "WOW" !
That boost life. My brother scored a bunch of Yeezys and got me a pair too.
One of the HOTTEST sneakers of the year. This amazing collab between Nike and Acronym was just crazy with the attention to detail, the amount of different materials used and the overall comfort/feel. Love it!
Final boost of the year from KITH X Adidas. The first mid Ultra Boost is just lovely. If you don't know about Ultra Boost sneakers, these are hands down the most comfortable sneakers you'll probably ever stick your feet into.

Really hard to pick my top sneakers of 2016.
I got them at a sneaker shop in Orange County (SoCal).

Only had two pickups this year, the Pumpkin Spice Grid SDs and the NMD Solars, but I am pretty damn happy with that. Definitely will be wanting more NMDs in 2017.

I have a high top pair of shoes like this, and was wondering what this style was called. Any help is appreciated
Also, I was looking for any information on the legitimacy of JordanXclub.com website if anyone knows.

I feel like a dumbass for even asking that question now...
Just started back getting new Js again, excuse my ignorance.

Haha no worries. Rule #1 in sneaker culture. If the price is too good to be true, it's probably fake.
I would recommend starting with GOAT (android/iPhone app) or StockX as they're sort of like a middleman to authenticate sneakers for you. If you want true comfort of authenticity, there's your FlightClub, SoleSupramacy, etc to name a few. However, you're basically paying a premium for that trust.

I have more free time to shop/try to get sneakers now. So I've been going in a bit hard lol.

I always thought from a comfort level, Alphabounce > Ultra boost.

Got a guy trying to scam me out of red yeezy V2s I sold him. Filed a paypal claim saying not as described because I sent him 2 different sizes. He's stating I sent him a size 9 and a size 10. That's impossible because all I wear is size 10 and in my profile pic on facebook I'm seen wearing them. It's impossible to wear a full size down in these. I hope paypal sides with me even though they always side with the buyer.

I really need a new pair of kicks but I'm only just starting to follow sneakers and get into em. What are some really good kicks that came out this month or November. I like the Christmas releases I've seen so far. I like the Alien Ripley shoes I can never buy now. I like a lot of Nikes.
Anyway, what are the most recommended shoes out right now that don't go above $125, Shoe-GAF?

Ah, jeez, that's rough. Hope you manage to win on this one.

Made a pickup on the Tubular Doom PK in navy 'cause a friend hit me with their discount. CDN$110+tax, I couldn't say no. Happy New Year to me, I guess.

Anyone else try the new Converse All Star Chuck Taylor II?
I just got these recently and they are absolutely incredible. I LOVE me some classic Chucks (they're all I wear) but these feel like the update the shoe has sorely needed for some time. Amazing support with strongly woven canvase material on the outside and far more padding on the inside. The insoles have been upgraded to the Nike Lunarlon. The lining is suede. It's like they figured out every way to improve upon the classic Chuck Taylor shoe.
Did you get them in this color? I'm looking for the Thunder Grey right now

Having never owned Chucks before because I tried on my friend's pair years ago and not liking them but I bought a pair for 30 bucks a few months ago of the ASCT 2's and I like them, they're pretty comfy for a regular day at the office or going out. I tried wearing them for a day of NYCC which did not work out, but I guess that's okay!

Yeah saw your post on NT.
The only way I can see PayPal siding with you is if you have proof with pictures of all the tags and crap. And then the only thing I can see is that you have video proof of you putting those exact shoes in the box and shipping it out.
Also, since you said their shoe had some red mark on the bottom and you had pics of yours, that should be proof right there. But PayPal might be extremely stupid.
And who the hell orders a size 10 and tries to swap them out with a size 9.

It was a super crazy 2016 year for me since I got married and stuffs, so yeah... had to tone it down with the purchases and photography.

So, while looking for shoes I came across this look for a shoe I really like:
http://m.6pm.com/product/8877176
I can't seem to find other shoes like this. For instance, I know the D Rose has a shoe like this but I can't find it anywhere. What is the reflective oily rainbow look along the side of this shoe called? Thanks.

I got these for Christmas as well. I love these shoes. I went to converse.com and they have these on sale for 50$ and you can also use code LEGEND25 for 25% more. I ordered a pair of the maroon ones for like 37$.

Hmm, not quite the same.
This is the shoe I was looking for. Nice Kicks says it's a D Rose 7 but I can't find this kind with the rainbow look anywhere.
I think I'm going to buy some adidas Tubular Invaders in red instead.

I was referring to the material with the pic. But anyway I found them, they're a D.Rose 7 Christmas PE (Player Exclusive).
Haven't been released.

Those are the Christmas pairs, the color is all-white. I suspect it's just sold out.

I don't think it has released yet.
On that note, picked up the D Rose 7 SNS collab for my new basketball shoe. Can't wait for that to get in.

Oh, a player shoe. That explains it. I thought that might be why I couldn't find it. All right.

I had the Air Trainer 1 that was made entirely out of this shit, lol. Got a lot of complements on them but the shoe was honestly not comfortable and made weird noise when you walked, so I sold 'em (for a profit)

I missed out on a black trico restock again....ffs, had it carted too, on JD Sports.
Sites need to stop fucking around and at least give you time to check out if you cart.

They finally put a boost sole in eqt!!!
Eqt is an underated and awesome looking adidas silhouette. Now that it has boost as well, its a must cop!
Nice but not as good as that other eqt adv boost sample I saw. Black, red, and white and not a collab
