BLACK FRIDAY RELEASE

 

[theCHI_Life84]

nice! any word where the fake one came from? im planning to get a pair from a retail store, hoping to find out which ones might be selling fakes.

 

[theCHI_Life84]

ive worn my pair every day since saturday & the comfort is better than i expected.....they went on swoosh for $74 yesterday so hopefully they will leak to the outlets & i can grab a 2nd

$74?! where?!

 

[WindyCity7]

$74?! where?!

swoosh is nikes site for employees only

 

[theCHI_Life84]

ok, its obvious there are a bunch of sources for sneakers that i dont know about. besides the major ones (eastbay, FL, footaction, finishline, etc), what else is out there? i only know of a few good ones, like marquee sole, flight club, something-grails, deadstockshoes. where are your sources for good authentic sneaks? that is, if youre nice enough to share...

you nailed most of them aside from the major shoe stores(fnshline,ftl,champs etc)

deadstockshoes formally shoetrends
uptempoair.com
citysole.com
ebay has a ton of legit sellers who have most thing under retail (sole fresh so clean)
pickyourshoes.com
& this last one is a guy who has most shoes early or takes pre-orders with solid ship dates (he has the stealth iii,black cements iii & metallic v's already)
Jordans


& overseas

marquesole
rmkstore
