A couple of these are from the tail end of last month....but I don't remember what I showed last month and what I didn't. May has been kinda down for me so far...but it's not horrible. Some relatively noteworthy pick ups along the way...and the month isn't over yet.
Air Jordan Retro 1 High OG (Barons): Great looking shoe from an arm's length...but has that signature Jordan Retro sh*tiness when closely inspected. Materials and build quality are entry level at best. Came in DS, pre-creased Jordan Brand condition (seriously, creased from being FACTORY laced too tightly). I got 'em for retail plus shipping & PP fees (about the only way I'll cop Jordan retros these days), so I can't complain too much.
Li-Ning Way Of Wade II (The Announcement): THESE COME VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Even more so if you can get them for $115 shipped...like I did. Nike/JB should be taking notes...and this is the type of thing we as enthusiasts need to flat out DEMAND! To put it simply, this is how it's done. Now I can confidently tell people they're stupid when they're making Wal-Mart shoe jokes on Li-Ning blog posts. People are NOT lying when they go on & on about the quality of this shoe. This is what us guys from the 90's were once used to. This is what we expected from the signature kicks we picked up...and usually it's what we got. Those days are LONG GONE now, probably never to return....but it's nice to know someone out there is still doing it right. Quality build & materials do exist, outside the realm of retro runner collabs, but it's in the form of a basketball shoe by a brand most folks have never even heard of. I'll stack Li-Ning Way Of Wades to the ceiling if they keep delivering this type of quality. The Announcement & Team No Sleep W.O.W 1 and Overtown, 305, Warrior and SCREW W.O.W. 2 are in my future.
Nike Air Foamposite Pro Laser/Crimson (Yeezy): All hype, all day. Still, it's a nice looking foam pro...and I got them for retail plus a little something for my homie. These are sick with black sweats. I never really fell into the foamposite side of collecting. I don't know if it's because I remember them being new tech...and hitting clearance racks...or if it's sticker shock due to ridiculous reseller prices...but now I have a pair in hand and I get it. This shoe is tough. I need stealth or blackout foams next. Hit me up if you have a reasonably priced sz 13.
Nike Zoom P. Rod III PRM (Toro): Ebay find right here. I paid $51 shipped for these. 5 minutes with a suede brush and a pair of black SB laces...and these are officially killin' 'em. Money well spent. I'd happily spend 2x to 3x the price for a DS pair. These are real.
Nike Trainer II SB. I looked and looked for a pair of these, for what felt like forever. I want the Supreme joints (red, black, white, blue....in that order), but this GR colorway is literally the ONLY sz 13 I've seen outside of insanely priced reseller sites like Flight Club NY. Had to pick them up. Super happy to add them to the collection. Still keeping an eye out for the Supreme joints, though. If you have a pair, sz 13, in any colorway, please hit me up.
I guess I'll try to pick up a Jordan shoe this weekend. The Night Shade 2, Black 5lab3, Camo Future and Black/White Future are all dropping at one place or another on the 17th. Surely I can cop one of 'em. If so, that'll probably cap off May for me.
I'M ON THE HUNT FOR A PAIR OF DS, or so close you can't tell the difference, AIR JORDAN V FEAR in SIZE 13!!!!! INBOX ME IF YOU HAVE A PAIR!!!

I had one of these in 04 It is from headmaster campuswear, I am aware that this is not the same one Duncan would have worn while still at WF. Good looking out though bro, and yeah I snagged it for a good price. Back in 04 I copped it from Sports Fan Attic and this is the same jersey I had back then

Love em. Quality of my pair is on point. Real metal key, extra laces but like all adidas in my case run slightly big. I went true to size but could go 1/2 smaller and be good. They have my stamp of approval.
