I didn't have the greatest month...but it was okay. Nothing major. Just some nice stuff to wear daily for the most part.
Air Jordan XIII "BRED": Not much to say about these, I guess...other than I got them for $100. I was pretty happy about that.
Jordan X "Bulls Over Broadway": The leather on...
Got these in trade:
...and my first made to order New Balance 574. These are super nice. Materials are of the same quality as most collab runners I've picked up along the way. Best part of all, NB's turnaround for these is about a week....at most. I was sorta going for a "Life On Mars/Deadpool"...
Figured I'd show my 2 favorite XI ID's one last time.
Outsole is green glow in the dark. I loved this CW on the KD VI and KD VII, too.
Not much needs to be said here. I always mean to have the liner painted, but I have been quoted prices ranging from $170 to $600. I don't know who to go...
Twin Peaks. Wish I could find a DS pair of these...but I can't. So I settled for these. They're still clean. I guess they'll do.
Air Jordan XV LS. Got these for a steal. They're almost universally hated...but these look DS and I paid $100. Why not?
The Adidas SL Loop Mocs....and Tubulars are both extremely nice kicks. I'm gonna have to grab a pair of each at some point. Should have already done so, really.
...and I may bite the bullet and cop a pair of Y-3 Qasa Highs already, too. I've been putting that one off for a LOOOOONG time.
This is what I came up with. I like 'em.
Sorry for the pic overload...but I wanted to cover most of the angles. ...and sorry for the bad pics in general. A photographer I am not....
First time I've posted in a while...but I figured I'd come back to join in on the pick ups thread.
My 1st LBJ XII. I wasn't really feeling any of Nike's CW's...so I did my own. I think it turned out alright.
...and the Ronnie Fieg x New Balance M530 "Central Park". VERY nice materials on this...
My shoes have the exotic laces...and I also have two different WTT lace locks. I'm also having the liner customized to match the real shoe. When this thing is done...it's gonna be a REALLY nice W.T.T. XI clone/custom. So, yeah...I'd call 'em Watch The Throne...
I'm in love. I mean, for real. I was a mega LBJ XI fanboy already....but this seals the deal. I always call this CW Want vs Need (don't know why)...but it just sorta stuck. I hope you guys think these are half as dope as I think they are. Nike screwed these up, though. I'm a sz 13....but...
So glad I decided to pull the trigger on the Watch The Throne ID.......but if I'm being honest, this pair might be my favorite LBJ XI PERIOD (ID or otherwise). Gentlemen, I give you.....The WANT vs NEED!!!
I'm sure they ain't everyone's cup of tea...but I'm in love....
Yeah, I'm not going anywhere near resell price for some ID's. My "Yeezy" ID will just have to do. I may get some in the bleached turquoise/black, too....
My Timberland "sneakerboots" are about 10 years old....and royally screwed at this point...so I picked these up to replace 'em. Definitely not "heat" by any standards...but we gotta have some of this type of thing from time to time as well....right? Please tell me I'm right. lol
Dr. Marten's...
Wish I hadn't slept on the multi color Kobe flyknit low ID's.....but I guess I can live with the played out CW that should be arriving any time. I hope my 2 ID's, China LBJ XI's and Sophia Chang x Puma Trinomic Brooklynites get here before the end of the month...so my showing won't be so weak...
He does excellent work. So far I've ordered 4 lion head locks, a W.T.T. lock and the bigger/chunkier W.T.T. II lock. Shipping is a bit slow, from where he's located in Manilla....but the product is worth the wait.
He'll be doing the lock for my flyknit Kobe 9 Elite low ID, too....
Yeah, I've seen the sample WTT XI's. Like I said, I picked up metallic gold Lion Head locks for the shoes....but then decided I would rather have the more traditional W.T.T. lace locks. I know a guy from Manilla who does INCREDIBLE lace locks (King's Pride PH)....so I ordered a pair from him...
I just got a tracking number for the WvsN yesterday. VERY, VERY excited to see those in hand. I think they're gonna be neck breakers. I'm thinking of ordering a KD7 in the exact same CW.
I'm just glad I finally pulled the trigger on the LBJ XI ID. I STILL regret passing on the LBJ X Elite ID. ...but I just wasn't a fan of the LBJ X or the X Elite at the time. I could still take or leave the normal LBJ X...but the Elite model has grown on me.
Wonder why they never put the XI...
