Thank you @acemaster193 for letting us know about the anthracite restocks, got the final sz. 14. Bought these at resale a few years back, was 0 for 3 on release day for these, glad to get a second one at retail.
Look at the swingmans they have put out that they didn’t make authentics of, then think about how they made this ugly middleton. They’re gonna make 10 in each size and still have to discount them.
Nah, with that kind of score you don't need to pay such a high fee for a card you don't really use. As for the AMEX Gold, grab that when you have a big expense (trip, appliance purchase, etc) and throw your groceries on there too so you're not spending just to spend.
No issues with my deadstock pair, it hasn't been long enough for there to really be any issues with sole separation. Foams tend to hold up better than most Nike products.
Wash the swingman shorts inside out and hang dry. They will hold up better, although they will eventually peel. There's also some models (like the grizzlies) that are sublimated where you don't have to worry about patches getting messed up.
