I guess none of you sneakerheads know where to find a pair of Le Coq Sportif Joakim Noah's? I've been trying to find the 3.0s, and can't even find the 2.0s ANYWHERE. Even on French sites.

edit: Until I see the "Pro" series for the 3.0s, I was actually looking for these. The 2.0s, but I love em. I like retro.

Ill ask around about the Le Coqs

Ill ask around about the Le Coqs

I appreciate it. I'm worried that they're all limited editions. I actually want to wear them regularly, and LEs raise the value too much to make it worthwhile.

i gave up looking for those. all i can find are running shoe type, like cortez/onitsuka tiger styles

they are nice shoes but i i still wonder if they are playing a part in his plantar fascitis issues. they dont look like they have much tech in them

I have a friend who has the red joints from a couple years ago. He told me he got them from this site but as of now all Jo's look to be sold out

got some grapes!

got a pair from wellgosh at midnight last night, scored a 6y for the wife at champs (no email yet but have confirmation number) and another sz10 from ftlocker

i hope the playoff 8s will be easier but somehow i doubt it

 

[theCHI_Life84]

the euro release went really fast, i got really lucky. ftlocker, champs, fa, fl, they were all jacked up. not concord status but still crazy

 

[Angel]

The shoe scenario is a bit too much. Last Jordans i bought were the playoff 12s. Everything gets overhyped to the point of insanity.

I know a spot that will have the black grapes next week...........for 380 SMH

 

[theCHI_Life84]

the scene is fkn horrible, all these damn kids buying js they know nothing about, just that people get stabbed over them. probably the same kids that do the stabbing.

the recent bred xiii's i heard were made without 3M. that is a fkn ripoff, that they would exclude such an awesome feature to the shoe, and still continue to drive up prices in general. its because these kids dont know any god damn better, and they buy stuff like the recent bred xiii's without even knowing that theyre half the shoe they should be. quality suffers, prices go up anyway, jackass kids fuel demand through ignorance.

some of these kids never even saw mj play. its a damn shame

 

[theCHI_Life84]

fking champs cancelled my grape order. assholes

I can't see myself wearing the 'tribals' , but it's a start! Tribals are the ugliest(IMO). Still thanks, and it's awesome to know some Bulls fans actually got a hold of the Reds with the #13 on them, those look awesome too. Sooner or later we'll find his shoes. I just think it's odd that the two places that Noah's signature shoes should be somewhat easy to be found, are France and Chicago. But you can't really find them in either place. :dunno:

they are nice shoes but i i still wonder if they are playing a part in his plantar fascitis issues. they dont look like they have much tech in them

I thought the same too at some point, but I don't think that's the case at all. The problem with plantar fascitis is the culture of always wearing shoes. Noah grew up wearing Le Coqs because of his dad, and loves them. They're designed for him, and we have decades of players without issues wearing low-tech shoes. The bottom line is Noah is wearing shoes his feet have grown into, and are designed for him with his input.

thats good to know, because they look really plain. but as long as they are to his spec, i cant be mad at that. they look great to add to it.

im not sure if i can pull off the tribals too. i might pickup if it goes on sale

 

[theCHI_Life84]

there are some pretty high profile restocks that are being rumored... anyone know if they are legit?

 

[NCChiFan]

Nevermind, got the answer for this at the shoe store, turns out one of the salesmen plays hoops with me.

Legit. Ill post the list of whos getting what in a bit

 

[theCHI_Life84]

looks like the black toes are gonna be crazy limited. i found a location list for them but what about the bred 11s, does anyone know where those will be dropping?

 

[theCHI_Life84]

black toes are actually on the footlocker and affiliates websites, i cant find anything on the bred 11s
