Ah the 8.5 shoe size. Footlocker seems to think noone has that size.
I brought mates to the Footlocker raffle yesterday. One got called & got my size 10. Another got called last & got the last pair - a 12 - which I'm passing on to a guy in Adelaide I know (at cost). He didn't get called in the raffle there (and only one store in Adelaide got them).

Ofcourse! Get my wife to register as well & double my chance.
That's a smart choice.
The Jordan IV 'Teal' will be released this coming Saturday (14th March).
I'll be entering Footlocker's raffle system.

Have avoided buying sneakers for too long since every time i look there's never a design i like ... but my hand was forced this weekend due to current pair ripping completely across the front mesh. That's the 2nd pair of Asics that have done that (despite them improving the section with another piece over the big toe area). So despite liking Asics designs the most (generally) i was thinking it might be time for a change.
The new pair has to be no mesh, preferably light, looks good, comfy and so on. Pretty much impossible then, about 5 stores later I stumbled across exactly what i was looking for:
Asics again but no mesh, and they have a unique cushioned tongue section that integrates with the heel so they're super comfy.
I get home and my wife is like hey don't they look like that toy you've got ... "which one?" ... and she points to MP Hot Rod.... hmm i guess they do! Then she goes "oh and the colour is also like Nintendo Famicom.. at this point i'm thinking shit have i've been completely brainwashed by toys and games!

Got me some New Balance 996 Toky Design House - Black this week. Been looking for something that instantly takes my fancy since my black 410's were ripped last October. I saw the 996's in swanston st Platypus shoes 2 weeks ago but was indecisive. Went to northland the next day (instead of highpoint, ugh wish i'd gone highpoint) and they had none. Checked online, my size sold out, went to a store in brisbane and they said none in qld but they ordered them in.
Pretty happy, love the reflective silver on the back, tongue and laces, but especially love the actual reflector N. I'm like a kid... shiny stuff!
I'm picky with sneakers, I dont collect i just wear one pair everywhere until they're worn out. If onitsuka tiger had made more sakurada i'd buy them any day, probably any colour too, they were my favourite, but now they're falling apart and consigned to wearing for my work commute (actually right now they're being used to hold down the corners of weed matting in the back yard >_< ).
Missed out again. Hope you had better luck dirge.
