NEW KICKS :: latest purchase

Ebay is alright, usually I just go through my list of favorite sellers to get my stuff. These are guys that I have gotten authentic pairs from and have a good overall reputation on ebay.

One key thing about ebay is for you not to get caught in the need to win the auction bug. Thats what jacks up the price. Usually I try to get a good / fair deal on the shoe and bid the maximum I would pay with shipping included and if I get beat I get beat.

Im usually looking for the odd pairs like Nike Veers. I dont buy Jordans on ebay to many fakes its really too hard to tell nowadays. I stick to the NT buy and sell forum for that hah. So to answer your question, No I dont buy often, only because the shoes I want are sometimes pretty rare and come around in my size once and a while. My list of wants right now are Nike Veers blk /wht sz 9, Air Force Ballistics wht siz 9, and the Nike Air Flight Banger not the ones in the stores now, but the ones that are on nikebasketball.com, the all black with the white toe area. Adidas a3 Electrify red/red/wht sz 9 so if anyone know where I can get these…help :laughing:

My XXIs are great man, wonderful comfort right out of the box. I would never wear them for outdoor ball though. It would probably just shred the outsole to bits. The pods hmmmm you know I had the air max heel pod on this weekend and then I switched to the air zoom… I didnt really feel that much of a difference. I dont know maybe I just need to break them in more.

And speaking of ebay auctions, I just won these as I was typing. For a grand total of 17.95 shipped lol

hmmmmmmmmmmm… they look pretty fake… wots the deal with the logo? isnt that meant to be the jumpman?

NT- never get a min to go over there much anymore.

yea bidding like gambling- it gets addictive, and I am sure it gets hard to pull out.

all I get is outdoor ball mostly, but with J’s I never play in them, esp. if they are white. But was wanting to give these a try.

I cant see the 17.95’s !!

Mm

No, these are And1s not a Jordan shoe

cant see them Mark? hmm I dunno, maybe this will do the trick

and im really tempted to get these hahaha

Gotcha- I can see it. nice pick up for under 20. The color way dunno, I like the red and the blue that came out, but its all good.

shaq shoes… dunno what to say. you saw the allstar game right, the ones with the wheels…imagine shaq’s version of NIKEid, haha tht shyt be crazy. you could get spinners, a candy dispencer, a rocket,who knows…

how much are the shaq’s go’n for?

Mm

Shaqs are going for 39.99 on payless.com kinda a hefty price when I can get a pretty good deal on better shoes on ebay for 40 bucks.

some new adidas | adicolor | custom kicks.

a pick up from one of my last days in nyc…

Mm

wow… you buy a lot of shoes mark. do you get them on sale, or are shoes all you buy?? those keith harings are cool, i feel like they’d be pretty rare?


its actually kinda funny that this thread was bumped, i got new shoes yesterday from zappos… the picture does not even come close to the real thing, but this is the best a camera could do:



I do buy shoes maybe too much…But am trying to get better at it. Last couple months I have just bought adidas.

The Adicolor HI BK2 from the black series from Adidas, designed by Keith Haring and Jeremy Scott. Worldwide only 5000.

The Adicolor HI R2 from the red series from Adidas with the “Surface to Air” Design. Limited to 5000 pieces worldwide.

zappos is a great place and you get the shoes fast and you can return easily. Do you skateboard? I have been told that skating shoes are really comfortable, had a couple friends that didn’t skate but wore skating shoes because of how they felt.

Mm

I love the Keith Haring shoe - my degree show at footwear school was based on Keith Haring so that shoe really appeals to me.

zappos was by far the easiest online shopping experience i’ve ever had. took about two seconds, and shipped in 5 business days, free shipping. and yea, skate shoes are super comfy… they do have all that padding and stuff after all. i also just really like the styles and color combos.

Went to JUST BE COMPLEX and picked up the adidas | night jogger 0. only 500 made and the highlighter pink is fresh. The shop had everything. Good looking out Yo. (never know to call you by first name or by screen name)
