Official LeBron X Thread Vol. 3

Really positive experience to share.

After striking out online this morning, head down to Oxford Street in London. 60+ people camped out outside of Footlocker, so I head over to Niketown. Only one guy in line, he tells me doesn't think that Niketown is getting them, but decide to stick around. No dice at Niketown. He mentions Selfridges might have some, we head over there.

3 guys in line. He and I are 4th and 5th. They have six pairs. Grab a 12. Walk back over to footlocker, do a size swap with a guy coming out of the store. My size. Copped. At retail.

Shout out to the guy who hooked up a complete stranger with good info.

The looks on the faces of the Niketown staff when people came up to the basketball area was priceless.

98% of people camping/in line are trying to sell.

Always the same shady *** characters on big releases.
 
guys were offering 260 GBP ($410ish) to people coming out of Footlocker and the re-sellers we laughing at them asking for 400GBP
 
thats a damn shame. i guess the vermin has caught on to the worth of the sneaker. they will struggle to sell for big though and end up undercutting each other over and over
 
Well put. In the six months that I've been in the UK, the lines have gotten noticeably longer than when I first got here.
 
im just praying this pair i have secured will fit me. im normally 11.5-12 on J's but i wear an insole an sneakershield ontop and still have room at the toe, i have a wide foot. never bought lbjs before. if it doesnt fit im done, im not paying over retail for any shoe
 
Pretty sure each respective Nike(US/EU/Etc) only ships to their own countries. 
That's what mail forwarding services are for. I use them all the time for Japanese retailers. It's pretty much an extra $15.

I always thought dudes with a certain style wanted dope kicks. Like a cat that could put kicks to use to complement a demeanor and decor. Looking at these cats makes me feel a certain way about things as a whole. Not to be on some elitist kinda ish but these some raggedy looking humans...

i didn't take your comment as you being an "elitist". i agree, sneakers are supposed to compliment, not take over. i'm afraid of the outfits i'm going to see worn with these shoes. i won't dig into though. this isn't the db thread. JUST lettuce prey  DENIMS AREN'T WORN WITH PINK CHINOS.
