I remember when Dixie outlet first opened I bought a pair of air Jordan 31 “shattered backboard” for something like $75. Those kind of prices are never happening again.

Same general feeling from my end. Getting older, daily life is way more expensive, already have most of the sneakers I’ve ever wanted and don’t have time to chase new releases. Haven’t bought sneakers this year, only bought two last year (both of which were for practical reasons and not hype...

Trailer for the Nike-Air Jordan Movie w/ Ben Affleck as Phil Knight, Matt Damon as Sonny V: Looks good.

Went on Friday around 2pm. About a 5 min line to get in. 5 min line at the register. The selection has gotten weaker with each warehouse sale and the prices have also gone up. I remember when they originally had the sale at queen/Bathurst area and had good prices. This year prices were $75...

Vaughan Mills Nike - Nov 3, several Lowry swingman Toronto "city" jerseys from 2020-2021 season, $49.99 + 20% off as its a red tag clearance (comes to like $45 with tax). All red tag clearance items were additional 20% off. Nothing of note sneaker wise

Lowry swingman jerseys 50% off at sportchek. They didnt even wait for the "official" Miami signing to be announced.

Would have never guessed getting a COVID vaccine these days in the GTA is equivalent to sneaker shopping......chasing down pop-ups, jumping through "eligibility" requirements, getting a "ticket" for one of 1500 eligible spots , etc, etc. What world we live in. :ohwell:
