if the seller marks the item as a gift, then you will not pay additional customs fees.
if they list the value of the item, and don't mark it as a gift, then you will pay additional fees.

do you have an idea as to how they calculate for the fees? the shoes were $180 cad from deadstock.ca.. thanks man

181.36 USD

 

[five05]

yeah so 181.36 usd paid with CC.. so then fedex will deliver it from canada to us, then they'll charge for customs/handling or something? 

 

[khoeyjr]

anybody get their ndc order ship yet?

Mine are out for delivery as we speak...can't wait to get out of work!

 

[thapointguy]

Eastbay back-order status changed to in process ready to ship. edit: just got tracking email

Their picture of the fake Sulfurs bother me though Eastbay reps can you get the proper personnel to fix that? thanks

 

[kobeoverbron]

Here in MNL, they were soooooo limited. We usually get tons of stock. Last year the cheetahs released in almost every store.
These were just the same or even less than Grinch numbers here. Trying to wait out the Sulfurs....

Trying my best to just buy 4 pairs. 3 more.
So far i got the blue lights, purple aways and pythons on my list. Loving my Xmas 8s!! My girl likes them better than my Grinches.

Heads up for anyone who was able to grab a pair from FootLocker on the 25th....Just got tracking number email

 

[modifiedbear]

Eastbay orders must be hitting the docks today - just got my tracking info

 

[thapointguy]

^^^^ you're gonna end up buying more. 10 pairs max. word to ZKVs. 2013 is YOTS! they will bring more stuff out like previous years.

Thanks for the welcome back fellas. This shoe really grew on me.... fast, and it wasn't the hype. The comfort alone, won me over.
I'll be picking up the sulfers today smh. Lol

The pattern print seen on Kobes Grey/Purple/Yellow he wore last week is the same as the print on the wrapping inside the Xmas lights box. I think.

Tried the lace swap last night... volt laces from the grinches turned out to be much better than I thought it would, the grey laces from the Harrison Barnes Kobe VI not so much...

 

[thapointguy]

volt laces

 

[blacklion23]

Nike probably just made these exclusively for Kobe and aren't planning on releasing them.

Both pairs are nice, feeling the yellow sole pair a bit more than the purple pair. Hopefully they both release.

 

[adub beta]

I was surprised how well the volt laces turned out better fit than the crimson laces IMO...

 

[urn0tlike]

They look alot better with volt laces.

Wasn't able to get my true 11.5 and ended up with a 12. From what I've been reading these fit TTS, but from prior experience most Kobe runs 1/2 small. Will I be okay with the 12 this model or should I keep searching for an 11.5? Hate that feeling of swimming in my shoes lol... Any help is much appreciated...Thanks fellas

 

[mjrod1985]

Dope shots NWT

Can't wait to get my XMAS pairs...

 

[JRaW’d]

red laces are clearly the best for these shoes.

[five05]
