Any crazylights left out there in Chicago? The Drose ones?

Oh that sucks. The thing about Modest is that they don't always get the most limited SBs but Uprise does. Sometimes Modest will get late shipments too.

"This Air Jordan 9 Penny Hardaway Orlando Magic PE is an actual colorway made for the former Orlando Magic player in a sz 14.
These beauties feature the number 1 stitched on the back, replacing the 23 and display the Black/Dark Charcoal and Royal Blue (Orlando Magic) Team colors.
According to the owner of these PE’s, Penny Hardaway wore the Air Jordan 9 PE in 1993 but until now, photos have surfaced for the first time."

^yea those are my favorite PEs. Nick Anderson also wore these PEs. Don't remember if he had a # 1 or 25 on em. I think most people are goin crazy about them cuz they are too young to remember that far back so they are being seen for the 1st time by most people

yea, i do that too but it doesnt help enough...

i ordered a pair of sneaker shields. watched a few reviews on them and it seems they have a higher level of comfort and work better. ill post my thoughts on them when they come in.

but so far,

two thumbs down on force fields. they are too soft and dont really do what theyre supposed to, and also they squish down on your toes. might be ok if youre wearing a shoe that is 1-2 sizes too big however. but the protection is minimal.

one thumb up/one thumb down on the DeCreaser. a bit awkward to install depending on the shoe, not very comfortable, and moisture builds up in the shoe from terrible breathability. but, it seems to get the job done, it creases slightly as your weight transfers to the ball of your foot and to your toes, but pops right back. the crease disappears, but i can imagine the crease eventually becoming deeper with every step. would take longer to get deep in there, but will still happen no doubt.

the sneaker shields look thin yet sturdy enough to get the job done, and leaves plenty of wiggle room. you can even trim to your liking. but we'll see how it goes

update with the sneaker shields ("universal" model):

definitely the most comfortable since you can trim it to fit the width of your foot, and they are thin enough and go right up against the inner walls of the shoe to not take too much space. if youre going to trim, however, make sure you avoid trimming off both sides so as not to compromise its integrity.

definitely as good as the DeCreaser as far as protection goes, although i did not use the decreaser as much as i did these sneaker shields. i spent all day in them and did a quick 2 block walk aside from walking around the office. overall, im confident in saying that these work better, and are easier to install. also you dont need to worry about glue. to keep them in place, remove the insole before you install these. that way it is sandwiched between the edges of your insole and the walls of the sneaker. the absence of a need for glue also makes it easy to use one pair for multiple shoes, or, even ALL of your shoes.

ill post further updates but it looks like im gonna continue with these sneaker shields. the decreasers were a bit of a challenge to install and dont have the ability to switch from shoe to shoe, since i found them to be most effective once glued within the shoe. if i left them unstuck, they would slide too far forward in the shoe and defeat their purpose since the creasing would re-occur. not to mention effectively becoming even more uncomfortable.

just thought id throw my thoughts out there on these 3 products since i have tried them all. winner: sneakershields!
