HOLIDAY 2021 - Cool Grey 11

[crisisice]

Got tracking from SNKRS earlier this afternoon. Glad they're being shipped through UPS and not LSO.

 

[townbidness]

you keep them bills under the couch for goodluck?

 

[crumps brother]

^good eye

Not me.

I think a lot of people are overlooking the fact that these are not the shoes that released yesterday

 

[aron710]

SNKRS and FTL shipping labels created, now just waiting for these to actually arrive to my doorstep. UPS or Nike fussed up my Shock Drop pair

 

[netolic]

couple hours ago it was around $375.
Holy crap $450 already

After tax, that’s nearly $100 more than I could buy my sz11 from SX right now, including SX fees, tax and shipping. Who actually buys from these stores? Fools, apparently. Makes zero sense.

Didn't notice until now.

Stock ain’t getting ur pairs here before Christmas may have a chance but some people prefer in hand pairs

From what I see generally, those types of resale stores are always way overpriced and it has zero to do with holiday time. Buyers worried about quick shipping can buy from eBay sellers who have the shoes in hand.

Crazy release but just glad I was able to snag my 2 pairs, both my best homies’ pairs, my daughters’ pair and my nephews’ pair. I cooked on this release, can’t even front.

 

[Shoezilla_R35]

Footlocker and SNKRS pairs shipped. It’s crazy cus I got every single 11 since the cdp 11/12 package. My favorite Christmas tradition that’s been going on half my life also who else wants the dmp 11 Christmas 2022? I’m dying for those next. But I have a strong feeling it’s going to be the gamma which I dislike

Picked up my Niketown Reserve today. First pair they gave me had a fat *** scuff mark on the toe box of the right shoe. Nahhh. Asked another pair and thankfully, those were clean and scuffless

 

[reconic supreme]

came across this old collection pic from about 6 years ago, the good ol days

mine in college lol (sometime in 2014)

 

[rainking]

Ah dog Ah...
what length did you go with and mind sharing a side by side comparison of laces for your fellow sneakerheads whenever you gotta minute?

Mids use the 54-inch length. Will take a pic when the shoes arrive and I swap them. They’re not like massively thick, but definitely chunkier than what retro XIs come with.

eBay has the authenticity process to for new shoes can get delayed

Was this the location on 5th ave?

One of the employees were rude and tried to play my girl when she went to go pick up a pair she won for me.

The pair they gave here had a humongous blue scuff on the patent leather of the left shoe.

My girl asked for a new pair and the dude gave her attitude saying we don't do exchanges and tried to tell her it isn't a scuff mark.

She showed him the shoes and dude literally had the nerve to pull out a clorox wipe and tried wiping it off. **** was not going anywhere. She finally was able to exchange it for an immaculate pair when she started saying that this situation shouldn't even be happening in the first place.

MFer literally had the audacity to tell her that he exchanged the pair out of courtesy.

[brownmamba]

Hoping for a retro of the Zen Grey Lows. Beat mine up during undergrad.

Pantone 11 brah

 

[green rhino123]

The only pair of 11’s I paid resell for were the 2011 concords. That release was chaos

Get Money Boyz had the game on lock.

Most of the employees at the sneaker stores I go to—Champs, Footlocker or Nike Store—are either completely unhelpful because they don’t know anything, or display a casual indifference, like they’re above it all.

...That’s been my experience over and over again.

Can't believe you really trying to justify that price.

Don't really buy shoes in stores anymore...but the few times I did this year, it was fairly simple. In and out with little to no expectations or customer service needed.

I did have a issue with a pair of shoes I did buy...the toebox was precreased and wouldn't come out. Went back and exchanged for a better pair same size within 5 mins. More than likely unintentional, but that made that happen for me at least.

 

[taz92]

Vegas doesnt have any real sneaker stores anymore. They all resale for an obscene amount which is why I refuse to buy anything from them. If I cant get my pair off SNKRS or get lucky off a raffle then depending on price I hit up StockX. Its sad.

We got rainking doing some flexing with his laces now. Guy gets lucky getting a pair and now he pulls this

Unbelievable.
