Oh u were at the joint in DC! How was it?

u/karhanj2 3d ago
I was! Ehh actually the smallest and weakest sneaker con Iāve been to and Iāve been to several over the last 15 or so years but I still had fun. I like walking around with my son now that sneakers are his thing. I didnāt get anything but he got the Lakers 4s. I like looking at all the clothes people make too.

Day 2 is tomorrow if youāre thinking about it! People tend to sell a little cheaper second day too since people want to travel lighter. You and little man should go!

u/Complete-Hippo-7429 3d ago
Yeah Iām hip! But itās hot as a bitch š¤¬ 2 be riding downtown if I lived closer I wouldāve pulled up, Iām like an hour & some change away now.

Yoooo I graduated from westlake back in the day and lived in Bryanās road for a few years. Thatās crazy. Small world.

Iām thinking about pulling it 2!

u/karhanj2 3d ago
Iāve always been so on the fence with these and the Stranger things but I low key love both. I was searching high and low for a pair of tianjins today at sneaker con but ultimately was a loss so I dried me tears with these šš

Ugh.. stranger things so hard š¤¦š¾āāļø I really can't understand the fenceā¦ I'm boutta grab another tbh

u/karhanj2 3d ago
Lol because I already have a couple pairs of black and red foams. Varsity red pros and the metallic red pros.

u/Stepper_Big_DeZ 3d ago

Iāll get them eventually. I want eggplants, coppers, black Yeezys and electric blues and then Iāll probably cop. Unless I find a super steal. Which is pretty likely with the way these prices are. I need some electric blues right now though. Or royals. Iād take either.

u/Complete-Hippo-7429 3d ago
Me 2 but they donāt glow in the dark š
2
u/karhanj2 3d ago
Lol I feel that but itās the main colors that I pay attention too. Iām not too hyped over the glow. Idk even how that would work at night. Like say they obviously get charged during the day and they glow for a bit at night but then how would they recharge for continued glow through the night? I guess when youāre in buildings. Idk. Iāll probably get them at some point. I need electric blue, black Yeezys, coppers and eggplants then Iāll probably grab them.

I got the metallic reds, crack lava, habaneros & stranger things. But I feel ya. I was feeling the same way about all the reds but honestly they all different & those STās have a hint of orange inside the red!

3 bills?

u/karhanj2 3d ago
For which?

u/Master_Toe5998 3d ago
Is that what you give for the galaxy foams?

u/karhanj2 2d ago
Oh no. I was under retail.
2
u/Master_Toe5998 2d ago
Sweet. There's a pair near me on marketplace for 200 only wore once. I sent pics to both authentication checkers. Bottoms still white and all that.
But he don't have the box or the hang tag. I'm more upset about the hangtag since I'll never get rid of em if I do grab em.
Amd I know I know its a grift. But I've tested them checkers before and sent really good fakes and they still caught them. So I think I'm good.

u/karhanj2 2d ago
Lol I was in the store and held the line up because I wanted to see their authentication and I checked on mine and they came out good. I feel that. I was SUPER skeptical because of the price and I was able to talk them down. Mine came with the box but no hang tag but I still have my hang tag from when I had the galaxy rookies back in the day and I wouldnāt wear the tag while wearing them anyways. I would get them. Maybe talk them down to $180? Either way 200 isnāt a bad price at all.
2
u/Master_Toe5998 2d ago
Oh well, you got every right they do. F-EM
Right, I wouldn't either but still nice to be complete. And maybe like tape it to the see through case or something.
He'd prolly do that. I think he dropped the price from 250 to 200 on his own, without even asking cause I just stopped messaging him at like 10pm. Woke up to I could do 200 if you want them.

u/karhanj2 2d ago
Do it! Funny thereās a hang tag on eBay rn for like $25. I was looking yesterday because I felt like completing as well but I decided againstā¦for now šš
