i feel you, its a bunch of bsOriginally Posted by sincere
Well, Niketowns lease was over with and Niketown failed to outbid the next man for their retail space. Needless to say, it's a H&M now and I'm pissed. Denver has been Nikeless since then. I missed out on my DB's last year due to this mess. Did I already say that I'm not happy?Originally Posted by memphissfinest
HOW DOES A NIKETOWN FAIL TO STAY OPEN?

Both my pair and my friend's pair have the twentytwelve but it is not noticeable at all like you said, you can see it and it's def. there but it is not anywhere near as clear/defined/perforated as the WC 4's. FWIW both pairs were purchased in the mall on rd from FTL and Champs. Not too worried about. One thing that was interesting though, is when I got let into the store (2 at a time) I asked guy for my size 11 and he brings out a totally beat to %!% box and I open it and one shoe is all scuffed up and had def. been worn by employees. I was like UMmmmMM ya, gimme another 11. Pristine and happy to cop.

I posted on twitter a day or 2 before release that i would trade a pair of ds playoffs xiis in a 10.5 or 11 for a pair of cavs in a 10.5 or 11 and someone hit me up interested in the trade. The kid was from Ohio and im from NJ, he refused to ship first and he didnt even have a niketalk account so i was a little uneasy about it. Eventually on tuesday we agreed to ship the shoes at the same time while we both were on the phone at the post office. Long story short I got my cavs in today and im very pleased. Im glad i was able to find someone who was down for the trade. Hopefully i could find a second pair to stock.

good looks on the response bri. Seller was legit (feedbackwise) from iss. The shoes look great (except for a few small glue stains on the inside of the left shoe near the back) but read that alot of people got ripped off w some high quality fakes. Def glad i copped even tho i spent 250. Beautiful shoe

100 % orange. Not feelin the blue, but i was thinkin about doin this my self so thanks for the pics. Look like i gotta cop some orange laces this weekendOriginally Posted by sthebest
good going homie, and definitely the orange. to me, the neon orange laces give these a DB like feel without it being too over the topOriginally Posted by smzsmz
i want to give a shout out to NT member Sneakerfan1 for hooking me up with my sz 13 for just about retail + shipping + paypal fees! realness still exists! i struck out on this release with the rsvps and online. i had access to a few pairs for a size swap but still couldnt make it happen fast enough. it took me until the end of jan. to complete a three way trade for my size 13 concords and i just didnt want to go through that again... i'm very appreciative and just wanted to give him a shout out and a thank you on these boards sort of as an example for others as well as proof that not everyone rapes. thank you again bro.
now, lets take a poll. orange or blue swap? stock is fresh but with everyone running around with these shoes, sometimes you have to switch it up and innovate in order to stand out and represent.

Glad that you got them.
I may sit on my pair and cop some orange laces to toss in them down the road. I don't "love" this colorway, but these definitely look a lot better in person than I expected them to. Everyone I've shown them to (people who aren't into sneakers) told me to keep them. Why JB can't use a matte finish like this on all of their III's and IVs is beyond me.
thats good to know. just pulled up pics of the 2011 BC 3 bc i didnt realize it was that shiny. Ive been lookin to cop some and read the quality fell off big time form the CDPs to these. I never thought that would prevent paint chipping. Mad people were writing they wore the 2011s like twice and they started to crack. thanks for sharing that

No problem. and Ive put mines to the test, I worn them while handling my luggage in the airport, worn them in the rain, once in snow, and have handled large camera equipment and no cracking. the only thing I see are slight stress marks in the midsole but no cracks. I even stripped most of the paint from my Aquas and repainted them then sprayed with Krylon and theyre holding up much better.

the average is about 275 on ebay and 250 on FB selling groups. prices will go down slightly and then rise

shoes aren't an investment, once you wear them you wont find someone who will pay $270+ for them.

I keep seeing the same nonsense written about shoes being an investment, this is seriously what the whole sneaker game has come too. First Jordans and now Foams, I really hope it won't filter down to the rest of Nikes products or the new Ewings about to be released.
