ahh dirge you bit the bullet and got a pair of infrareds! glad your knee feels better :)
Yeah well, I figured if I was buying Air Max, I may as well get something... "special", even if the colourway isn't special to me.
Picked up a pair of Infrared AM90s for Rampage today. And these Air Jordan Vs for myself:

I have a pair from the last time they released this colour, noticed a crack on the midsole after wearing them on Saturday. Since they're recently rereleased, I grabbed another pair. They're theoreticallyhalf a size too small, but Jordan Vs fit slightly loose, anyway. All good (:
Yes, this is the second pair of these I've picked up recently :D
so im this room and the girl comes in with some sneakers and im like
"cho sall'e tr'e mah deah?"
and shes like "Ne"

Hell yeah! BWs! Can't wait to grab them off ya on Sunday. Even if I get nothing at the fair, I'll be a happy man (:
Picked up the BWs today, (a $3 hat) and some Jordans, which were reduced from $300 to $70:

Thanks Rampage for helping out with the BWs (:
$3 for that hat, thats amazing, where from?Quote:

Both the hat & Jordans were from Footlockers in Parramatta. The hat was from the one upstairs in Westfield, the Jordans (last pair) were from the downstairs one. If you can find a Footlocker with Jordan XX2s, they should be $100 - I had a voucher for 30% off.
Lol, yeah I've been using the same voucher and bought 3 pairs of Jordan shoes. The black & red and white versions of the 6 rings shoe and the black Air Force Jordans. This was at the Footlocker store down the bottom level too.
My workmate thinks I'm nuts and took me down a peg considering the hard time I give her about her girly shoe shopping. I'm not any better :p
TPN, I grabbed these on Friday with F&F discount as well:

Not really a fan of AM90s, but this colourway just sings to me.
:) Too lazy to create a new thread. Please see attached.
ok time for some advice for you sneaker kids
im looking for a pair of shoes, ive always had typical skate shoes, big and bulky, but im looking for a new pair of shoes.
im a basketballer, so ive already got a plethora of bball shoes.
so im looking for something like the hightop airforce ones, or rebok pumps, or the rebok bb4600's etc
so yeah any idea with pictures would be apreciated :D
oh and places to buy them :P
You're after hightops but don't want basketball shoes? That narrows your options quite a bit. BTW many pumps, along with high AF1s, are basketball shoes anyway.
Sounds like you want something retro... there are heaps of retros out there at the moment. What's important to you?
Weight?
High cut?
Colour?
Fit?
Style?
Throw us some clues, blackie (:
yeah wasnt sure what i should includeQuote:

im not worried about weight, althoug something that weighs 4kg per shoe should be avoided :P
looking for high cuts
colour isnt so much of an issue, i like white, but im also liking green, blue and almost everything actually
as for fit im a 11.5 so thats the size, but i like shoes that are looser than they are tighter
and as for style, idk tbqh
Air Pippens? Chunky, fairly heavy. Retro now available now at some Footlockers.

Converse Weapon? Available at Hype DC.
http://www.sneakerfiles.com/wp-conte...weaponmain.jpg
I'm more of a Air Jordan fan, most of them are fairly light & not chunky. The XX1 could work:

Or V:

You'd have to hit eBay for these. Beware of fake Vs!
first and last ones do it for me IMO, as do the coloursQuote:

any real telltales?
I'm not a expert outside of Jordans...Quote:

With the Vs, there are two colourways which you'll find as fakes:Quote:

The first of these was recently retroed, the second last year, so there are more real ones out there than bootlegs. General rule of thumb: If the price is too good to be true, be VERY suspicious.
You could always post the link here if you're concerned about an Auction.
BTW here's a link to a complete inventory of Jordan V colourways.
suspect sites?
http://www.nikejordanshoesonsale.com/index.html
http://www.shoesonfoot.com/
fair cheap shoes if they aint
Both look very suspect.
The first one is selling Air Jordan colourways which were never released, and one model which is slated for released well into next year.
The second one is selling Air Jordan IVs at about 5% of their worth. They HAVE to be fakes.
twas what i was thinkingQuote:

if i pay through paypal, and they state that their real and theyre not, im protected by buyer protection arnt i? and can we prove theyre fakes if i got them?
Not sure how PayPal protection works.
Here's some legit sites:
www.uptempoair.com
www.citysole.com
www.eastbay.com
www.flightclubny.com
just a little more pricy :P
but is there a way to tell theyre fakes, apart from a lower quality i would assume?
isn't there a rule about posting KO's:):pQuote:

Air Jordan Fusion V - a mixture of Air Jordan V and Air Force 1s. I hate them, but yeah, figured I should mention them anyway. Available at Footlockers.
now theyre quite snazzy dirge, i must go to my local footlocker today and have a look
also that site is fakes
the online help told me :P
silly people
so shifty
Today's effort:
http://www.paxeiro.com/sneakers/pickups/201208.jpg
That does me for Air Jordans (unless they do a couple of original colours I don't expect to see). I'm not complaining - quite happy to have Breds (the black ones) and Taxis (the white ones).
There's something very unnatural about getting up at 4am on a weekend... but it was worth it :):):):):):):):)
dirge...are you shoe crazy? never seen a person with so many shoe acquisitions
Something like that. But yeah, I got all I wanted now (bar one coming out in January).
Plus, remember, I've finished off G1... I'm hardly buying _any_ TFs now.
Dirge will be pleased with this little pic I got. This is my other collection. Note. I use most of these. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/f...1/100_5129.jpg
The newets shoe I've got are the whte pare on the end near my foot..
http://www.kicksonfire.com/wp-conten...1-retro-31.jpg
saw these today and fell in love with them :)
anyone know where i can get them locally? or am i going to have to get them from overseas?
Hmm... try Hype DC.
There are probably independents around that will have them as well, but I can't point you to any independents in Melbourne. k.wong?
in Melbourne as dirge said, you can try HYPE DC i'm sure you have seen em around :)Quote:

Now in little la trobe st (road your RMIT bookstore is in) there is HEIST which has pretty sweet stuff (thats where I scored my B-Bot hoodie) http://www.heiststore.com/
If you are on Chapel St there is Dakota 501 on the corner near the new footlocker (across road from Jam Factory)
Good luck hunting ey
wow lotsa places for me to go next week :PQuote:

im thinking about getting the green version off ebay, cause they seem to be there for 100USD which is ok... the shipping might kill me tho :P
You've obviously not met Imelda Marcos :DQuote:

Saw these on the Gold Coast along with several other colours and styles of Jordans:
