Never thought much of the Yeezys (1 or 2); they're ugly a$$ Kanye bling designs IMO; but yeah there's a while bunch of hype around them.

Let's keep the impending release date just between you & I so that I might remotely get a pair.

Sure. You, me & every sneaker website!

(Mind you, it's not on Footlocker AU's website at all - yet!)

Just rang Footlocker Swanston St (Melbourne). The guy I spoke to reckons there are already 15 people lining up for tomorrow's sneaker releases.

If anyone is chasing a pair of the strictly limited Jordan Retro VI (Infrared 23), according to the guy there are:

1. 4 x Size 8
2. 7 x Size 9
3. 2 x Size 9.5

Sorry, only asked for my sizes.

I've got buckley's chance given I don't knock off work til 5pm.

The $400 resell price tag is not unusual. That's basically double the price of retail. It depends on how limited and popular the sneaker is. The old suppply & demand thing.

I know but I have the space jam release and I paid $330 for that to get delivered to me from online site. But $400 plus cost to meet the person etc.

We always seem to justify why it's expensive here when we can always go somewhere online to get these things for more than retail but less for scalpers/re-sellers.
