Essential BRAD PIFF'S SNEAKER THREAD

[GMOGMediaTV]

Not a Lebron or Jordan guy.

But I do rock alot of Android Homme's, Supra's and Nike Air Max 90's among others...

 

[THASTUNNA]

called FL and they said 7 - 10 to pick up shoes. I have to work 6 - 12 tomorrow. I'm probably gonna flip for a hour and pick up my shoes and come back. Hopefully I don't get caught.

 

[Monoblock]

I still remember getting these when they originally dropped in 98. shyt was an easy pick up and even when they got retroed in 2010 they were slept on and relatively easy to get. Now they give them a nickname He Got Game and now hype is multiplied times 20. This some sad shyt especially for these Jordan's.

Your absolutely right. That video from nikkas here in Houston (greenspoint) was the powder keg for this shyt to pop off all over the country.

The chick who was worried about her baby catching "ammonia", nikkas licking their shoes on live TV, and dusty ass nikkas with letterman school jackets acting like they were in a gang. The amount of ignorance in that video was staggering.

people credit concords but it was BANNED 1s which started the insanity and nickname hype.

BRED1s are like..the absolute most retroed shoe ever. yes they were better quality but there were STAMPEDES AT OUTLETS for those things....resellers went to town and then put their sights on concords.

its funny

just before that true blue 3s which are UNQUESTIONABLY a goat sneaker sat in FSR at niketowns nationwide and sold as the summer progressed....those would sell out literally in 1 second on NDC now.

that's exactly the time frame it can be narrowed down to. been downhill since then. the hypebeasts and resellers caught on and took over. even jb and nike got in on it by raising prices for no reason other than seeing what people are paying on the reseller market.

So last year I lent a relative of mine $750 to help her fly her and her son out of the country. I always doubt that I would see that money back. But I heard she is visiting the states and wants to pay me back. Now im having dreams of South Beach 8s lol.

..................................

Yikes ..locally we had a restrock on Playoff 11s this morning and there was over 100 people lined up 2 hours before opening ..shyt is disgusting

You wont be disappointed. Its the same support tech that went into the lbj 9. They feel/fit similarly.

Anybody know if shoe store employees get the same commission whether you use a discount card or not?

lmao, nikkas still dont have the playoff 11s yet? resellers indeed. its gonna be crazy here next week, and I am not participating.

im just tryna grab a GS size. I'm owed $700 myself..... that i expect never to get.

them pennys is fukk concords coming out, life was simple online before then.

im not sure about shoe stores, but for me, its very close to the same amount of margin (i dont make commission)

and fukk mahoeney.

breh

u cant compare banned 1's with the fukkery concords caused

banneds didnt make national news

cnn wasnt covering the banned release .. but they did cover how the concords were reselling for 500+ the day they dropped and had that shyt on a loop all weekend brainwashing people into thinking they could get rich off reselling which has caused all this bullshyt we have to go through now

this concord release wasnt worth the aftermath
i havent even unDS'd a pair yet :rayal:

nah 11 was the biggest size i had, sold 2 days ago.

its depressing how the sole turns from icey blue to clear to piss yellow.and the patent leather creases so easy on these. my cdp 11s are trash but the patent is still uncreased.

edit:
taken on tuesday:

taken the day they arrived:
