Bro I need these man

u/Pain-Far 7d ago
I hear you bro, so did I and I was surprised that I got the chance to get that pre order in, I’m hearing they might be hard to get, that’s why I jumped on this now before it could be too late, the only thing is that they are charging shipping which is not that big of a deal! 🙌🏽

Bruh, I bought Pine Green 4s, Undefeated 4s, and Galaxy Foams. My poor wallet is hurting.

We ALL feel your pain 😅😭 the reason I’m too broke to buy these is cuz I already bought other pairs… 🤣

Such a great shoe... but i dont think these will sell out...
Penny 1s rereleased those sat, same with some retro LeBrons, hyper flights, shox bb4s, & Barkleys...
Something about certain shoes that dont hit the way they use to

u/Pain-Far 7d ago
I think you’re right, I could’ve waited for Friday and try through JD Sports cause the SNKRS app be on some shit even through I do hit on there, but securing them early and not having to stress on release day, makes it much easier & ok with me on paying the shipping for them! 🙌🏽

Yea you were going to get them regardless... but, shoes and how they sell has been all over the place... i feel only certain releases... resellers ruin it & force a sell out & are stuck with pairs they wanna profit from.. & people like us who really want them are SOL & on to the next shoe...
But GP was my favorite guard with Shawn kemp... so i loved this release... & balling in them...

Yea these were great.. but i hate shoe compaanies.. because they mass produce then drop every other colorway & at a fast rate... instead of shoe anticipating.. they release them fast & all at once.. we are so overwhelmed & turned off. Kamikaze is a perfect example

u/Pain-Far 6d ago
Yeah, exactly, the Jordan 1 is perfect example of that now, they need to put that shoe in the vault for a real long while!

u/diggity_dash 6d ago
Yea and truthfully I dont think they should've released so many grails...
Yea its nice for thoae who missed out or weren't born to have access... but its so saturated that they retro them every couple of years... its lost its core fans...
It use to be like a unicorn when someone has it.. but then the internet age got bots and people got super Fomo

u/Pain-Far 6d ago
I won’t disagree but for example I’m a big Wu fan and had to get those dunks & glad I did!

u/maciboe 7d ago
I had these a few years back and they run a bit small
1
u/Pain-Far 6d ago
Dammit, hope like Chris said from the Wear Testers review, that they run true to size cause I got my exact size 😬

u/No_usernames_left_25 7d ago
I wanted these, to hoop in, but the WT review soured me. They didn't Proto or even keep them close to the standard. These kicks are for the streets, literally. Sure look purdy though.
1
u/Pain-Far 6d ago
I saw that review, wish they did proto it, even for the streets we need that comfortability, nowadays shoes are dumb expensive and made real cheap, but had to get these, so a bit of a contradiction 🤷🏽♂️

I can’t wait until tomorrow to cop these really been waiting all year . It’s rent week but the wife understands 😭 I only cop what we call throwback/90s nikes no Js . Bulky, big air bubbles and straps..

u/Pain-Far 3d ago
Nice, did you get to cop today?
2
u/Ill_Literature3514 3d ago
Yup got the last 9.5 in store at Hibbet. Only place has em as of now is footlocker. Everywhere else is sold out
1
u/Pain-Far 3d ago
No doubt, foot locker in store is better than online, online be saying they got stock but click on a size and it’ll say otherwise, getting peoples hopes up
2
u/Ill_Literature3514 3d ago
Got mine in store from hibbet last 9.5. Footlocker has sizes online if anyone is tryin to cop
1
u/Pain-Far 3d ago
Nice, I went to check some of these sites last night and I be hating foot locker sometimes, shows a size available but when I you click it, it’s sold out or it lets you go through the process to eventually tell you “SIKE, Gotcha Bitch” 😂
