Skipped about 5 pages.. Is the denim talk done? I'm trying not to get sucked back in to high priced denim I usually demolish at work

I think it's done, and I never even got to ask if anyone has ever picked up anything from the Dickies 1922 line, I would love to see what that stuff is all about but nobody seems to carry it.

I'm fortunate to have a laundry service at work so my stuff never sees a washing machine but even if it did I wouldn't wear anything "nice" to work

I don't OD clean my kicks.
But, soap and hot water if I get them particularly dirty. Magic eraser for scuffs. Retrobrite/"The Saude"/Fabs Sole for reversing yellow-ing
Ebbets is dope too. Been to MN, but not Ebbets. I agree with you in general re: MN. I now only really buy things on the big sales. Back in the day, I splurged more (I think I still have stuff with tags from the jersey era), but at least the quality and consistency was better.. I recently copped the MJ ASG, and was not at happy. I used to get stuff on the super cheap occasionally too when I was consulting for MLB.com and would get to their semi-annual internal sample sales. ...Actually, I still do work for them, but the caliber of merchandise at those sales isn't nearly as good as it once was.
I'm not saying that buyer isn't doing anything fishy, but this can happen just as a PP snafu too. I've had it happen to me and it was just sort of glitch that worked itself out in like an extra day or so, So, obviously, keep your guard up. But, don't necessarily assume the worst.

Has anybody posted an on feet pics of either pair of the rivalry pack? I'm still not sold on either or but on feet pics would be nice. ( I know it hasn't released officially yet but sometimes people get them early and show them off)

For me it depends on the shoe. Some shoes I don't care how dirty they get. Some I like dirty, like chucks.
Other's I try my hardest not to put in harm's way. When I do clean my kicks I usually just use wet wipes.

Oh man, I'd love to go to something like that, I think the overall lack of craftsmanship in the whole jersey industry is what's lead to the prevalence of fakes, why pay 250+ to a company that's doing such a poor job at handling the license. I'll give it up to Majestic though, they still make a great product and they do it in the US, but outside of the stuff you buy direct from the team shops you're always running a gamble on what's going to be wrong if you order a custom from the main site.
It's probably the "we need it now" rush that Americans have for things, and the insane profit margins from producing overseas, that led to most leagues outsourcing the retail jerseys, but I know I'd be willing to spend more, and wait longer for a correctly done jersey.
But this diatribe is probably best left for the jersey thread in Sneaker Showcase.

I don't clean them unless something other than normal wear happens.
When I buy anything that's not DS, I'll usually put a bit of elbow grease into cleaning them up as best as possible when I receive them. Then, it's pretty much autopilot.
But, you're also like me in the sense that it might be months of even years between wears for a pair. So, how dirty can they even get...

As a pawnbroker with no dress code, I wear what ever , there's just been times where one normal day at my job has been easy and clean and then its the complete opposite

LOW DOWN DIRTY. That's even a ridiculous price for that AJKO pack, so I doubt the seller gets any takers.
[quote name="scumbag ebay seller"]These are on hand never worn size 10 in a rival pack and size 12 in the other. The price I set is gonna be high,but im selling both packs together. If you want just one pack message me or text me (phone number removed). I normaly sell on ig (name removed) or my business ig (name removed). I only sold one pair of gibsons on here before . I sell kicks or sneakers for a living. I can give you legit references, anything u need to insure you I am for real. I will ship international too u just pay the shipping .I got an international reference too in Singapore. So u can kik me too s_e_s_s. I will ship today. But you pay shipping,or we can work a deal to split it. Contact me I got hundreds of all sorts of skateboarding brand shoes and gear. Thanks -justin skultka. I live in sitka alaska,so meet ups are welcome too.will ship today.paypal ready.[/quote]
