Premiers are still out there on shelves, so nobody should be paying more than retail if they REALLY want them.

9 days w/o a response is unacceptable. Small store or not.
$150 is a great price, IMO.
The two main problems to me are:
1) I don't like the way a lot of contemporary hip hop sounds - it's too produced and/or electronic sounding. I'm still a sucker for the simple break beat or drum loop style (or sample layering). So, that knocks a lot of stuff out for me. I also don't like the cadence and flow of a lot of current rappers. Even though some of them are technically proficient, the sound doesn't please me.
2) With so much stuff out there, the juice isn't as worth the squeeze. You have to wade through more and more crud to find the gold. So, it's diminishing returns and I don't have the time and energy to devote that level of effort any more. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of current artists I check for heavy, but there's more trash than ever too. ...In a lot of ways, hip hop heads fell victim to "be careful what you wish for" because we always used to bemoan the labels and all that. But, in the days of artistic democracy, you also now see how important it was to have an executive producer on a project, and how a label was able to help a group establish a consistent sonic feel throughout a record. ...Of course, part of that issue is that the album itself is kind of an anachronism, so those things are less important because consuming an artist via the album isn't even the dominant form of engagement with music.
Luckily, I can always fall back on stuff like this. ...This is my dude's house, what you see on that wall is a portion of years and years worth of every week's Stretch and Bob show recorded off the radio.

Oh, and here's a pic too.
And, @mints - nice pick up on those white/black patent Dunks.
Here's their AF1 cousin - '95 with the white tumbled leather swoosh.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I am amazed by how many businesses have e-mail contact available on their sites but either take forever or don't reply at all. It doesn't seem to matter if it's a small independent shop or a large corporate either as the lack of response seems to occur in both. If you are not willing to take the time or have the staff available with the required knowledge to answer your existing or potential customer's questions then you should not have the option available IMO. End of rant...

I found the attached link to a shop in the Philippines that indicates they were available in 6 and 6.5 at release. I'd take that with a grain of salt though as there does not seem to be any other info out there that confirms these sizes were available.

Dude, that is some international research. Lol. Thank you so much!
Dropping them a stock inquiry anyways. No harm in asking.
I see a good selection of popular quickstrikes as well. People should take their chances!

Yeah. When the market is saturated with shoe stores, places should look at customer service as an opportunity to distinguish themselves from their competitors.
That said, the flip side is annoying too - the overly needy customer who thinks he's the only person in the world buying shoes, and who emails for updates like two hours after purchase because he hasn't gotten a personalized letter from the CEO assuring him that he handpacked the shoes for delivery moments after seeing the order placed.

Looks like I'll be in St Louis in a few months for a couple days. Anyone know of any SB spots out there? Feel free to PM me if you'd rather. Would appreciate any lookouts.

Has your friend ever thought about or started the task of digitizing all those tapes? It's a huge time sink, but with a collection of that many shows he'd probably get e-famous sharing it on sound cloud. I was half tempted to order that Doo Wop USB drive with all his mixtapes, but $150 is a bit more than I thought it'd be.You articulated what my thoughts were a lot better than I did about current hip hop, what I'd started to write kept on coming off as "I'm old and I don't want to listen to thousands of hours of music to find 3 hours of great stuff"
I do still dig through a bunch of different sound cloud accounts, but that's more looking for the odd gem electronic mix, even there I feel like I've been out of the loop for a minute, at a local festival outside of 4 headliners I couldn't make heads or tails of any of the other groups playing.
