The Sneaker Thread

Yeah for the limited stuff Footlocker distribute to Murray St then Swanston St then Big George. Then Brisbane & Adelaide.

Strikes me as stupid that both Jordan Futures are released in both those stores & not George St, but that's how they're doing it.

Nike stores may well get some Jordan Futures. Not a shoe that interests me so I've not checked. The AJ1KOs also fail to capture my imagination but may also turn up at Nike stores. The rivals pack isn't listed as a footlocker exclusive so it may turn up at Nike / Kickz101 in Melbourne.

Every time there is a new post on this thread I'm hoping its news that Nike will bring forward the release of the AJ6 Carmines. But no ....... Looks like I'll have to kill time from now til May.

Just in case you missed last month's release of the AJ6 White Infrared, FootLocker will be re-releasing it this Saturday 29th March.

Bought a pair of Deuce shoes (last pair/chuck taylor converse style) and didn't notice that one is yellowed (from being on display) and the other is bone white (soles, shoelaces and white parts).

It feels weird when I look at them. :confused:

I didn't know there were Foamposite Yeezy's?

That and Kobe's IX Elite is at George St tomorrow.
http://www.footlocker.com.au/sneaker...ses-1819-4-14/

How well do these fit? Half-size bigger than normal.

Anyone getting these? May ask a favor if so?

Yeah Nike has lost Kanye from their stable so they're doing a Yeezy inspired Foamposite. To try cash in the now ended association!

Foams fit fairly true to size, although they mould to the foot over time (that's the whole idea of the foamposite material) which gives some room to adjust if you go up or down 1/2 a size.

I'm not planning on getting them, but there are queues already; George St was more or less sold out at noon (I know a guy there in line...).

What's the favour, jazzcomp?

Thanks! I was asking about the fit of kobe ix elites as well.

Hey dirge, I was thinking about tomorrow. If someone was going to george st for the kobe elites, I'd ask someone could grab me a pair. Maybe a 9.5 or 9? Is there a line for tomorrow already? :eek: If there is, might as well forget it.

and wasn't able to get a pair :(

Next CW of Kobe IX elite Unleashed is wolf grey/purple? I tried google and couldn't find the wolf grey/purple.

I feel you jazzcomp.

The line ups for these limited releases is getting silly; especially if you're smaller than a size 10. Dudes are lining up 24 hours + nowadays. Personally, I care not for exclusivity; I'd rather just buy one of millions of the shoes I like the look of. Re the next Kobes; check your SMS (:

Thanks, dirge. :)

The Jordan Retro VI Carmine are coming out next month (Saturday 24th May). I really want a pair in my size. If it turns out to be super limited stock I'm gonna take an annual leave day on the Friday to line up to secure a pair. This lining up business is really getting out of hand.

Carmines I would expect will be fairly widely released. Will still be a line up, but none of this 2 day lineup business.

I hate scalpers :mad:

Managed to pick up a pair of today's Kobe Elites (Hero pack) at 11am. Luckily, I have a larger foot than most Kobe fans in Sydney. Wasn't concerned if I missed out, but I consider myself fortunate!

:). Nice! It's 25% off this week for footlocker. How was the line?

I didn't line up; there was still a 10.5 (and 2 big sizes) left when I got there at 11am! I didn't use the 25% as I had a birthday voucher (worth more). From what they told me there was quite a line this morning.

Finally ..... what I've been waiting for. Jordan VI 'Carmine' is due for release this Saturday. :):cool: This and the Jordan VI 'Black Infrared', which hopefully is due later this year. Life is good. :D

Best of luck on Saturday megatran!

Picked up a pair of Jordan 6 'Carmine' in my size yesterday. :) A lot nicer looking than the Jordan 6 'White Infrared' IMO.

Jordan 6 'Champagne' and 'Cigar' colourways is dropping in on 14th June.

Yeah they really messed up that InfraPink. Glad you got your Carmines, dude.

Not sure I wanna deal with the line up, but would like that Cigar pair. Not a must-have by any means; I was actually hoping for more simple colourblocking in some of the 6s this year (like the red pair back in Feb); the WC pair have simple blocking but wacky colours (and a CP3 noone will care about).

The Champagne (green) doesn't suit my taste. The Cigar (umber colour) I dig.

The Jordan 6 Retro Sport Blue and Black Infrared are released later this year. So there is something for everyone. :)

Yeah the champagne I dislike. Cigars are nice enough. Still, would have liked to see a carolina blue upper or something; new colourways using more "traditional" Jordan colours.

I have the Infrareds from 2010, but keen on them Sport Blues. It's looking less likely my Maroons are coming back this year. I had a pair back in '91... keen for them to come back but would have expected news on them by now.

You'd think the classic retro colours would make it out this anniversary year. :rolleyes: Perhaps a Quick Strike release??? Or are they making us wait another 23 years. :rolleyes:

I doubt we'll wait 23 years. I expect either it'll sneak up on us later this year or in the first half of next year. Not quite a QS, but short notice like today's GS Vivid Pink/Grape pair.

Jordan 6 Champagne and Cigar at Footlocker (VIC) is only available at Swanston St. Well I'm out.

(Kickz will also be stocking these sneakers).

I walk past Kickz twice a day... Wednesday morning there was one guy camping.. Thursday morning 15, today well over 30

Haha the cigars & champagnes sold out on like Tuesday here - 1 store only getting them. I know the guy at the front of the line, too. It's kinda nuts to line up for 4 days...

I'm actually in line (tho not lining up) but only because I'm picking up size 14 for a mate (who has a scheduling conflict) and you don't need to line up for that size! I can post pics if anyone wants (:

Looks like you got big shoes to fill. Joking aside, tried Nike online store. FAILED. Sold out in minutes. :(

Yeah I tried myself for the cigars; no luck. I'm not worried though; I have better 6s and TBH if the colourway was done in something other than a 6, I'd have not wanted them. I got the Brazil pack & frankly it's s nicer pair (to wear; which I will).

:cool:
I'm getting the feeling you've got more pairs of shoes than Imelda Marcos. :p

Probably not that many. Running out of space tho...

The Jordan 5 "3Lab5" Metallic Silver will be available at Footlocker this Saturday. I'm a fan of the 5's but the elephant print is putting me off.

..and the likely overnight lineup required?

Yeah, that too.
Though it wouldn't surprise me if some dudes lined up 2 days prior.

Footlocker Swanston St only for VIC. Well, that means I'm out ......

I actually got a sneak peek at the 3lab5s today. Don't like the look at all, in person.

They were always gunna be flagship stores only - all the "lab" series have been so far.

Without any announcement on their blog, Footlocker quietly released these yesterday. Not sure how many stores got 'em (possibly just George St, Murray St & Swanston St) but I picked up a pair.

Got myself a pair of Jordan Retro VI 'Sport Blue' over the weekend. :)

Now just waiting on the Jordan Retro VI Black Infrared later in the year.
