i understand completely.  the prices have pushed me away too and i'm at the point of throwing in the towel.  the lebron 9's are cool to me now, but the $170 price tag along with an almost 10% tax in california is just ridiculous to me, especially for hyperfuse materials; and don't even get me started on jordan brand.  it's just a joke what they charge for their fake leather retros.

they have taken the joy out of it for me...especially jordans.  the shoes i grew up with are just a thing of the past because the new ones are F grades.

im from illnois and i really hate eastbay now.   if the leather on the jordans were good...(b.i.n. 7 have great leather)   maybe i could understand but that is really pushing it.     the lebron 9s are an ok shoe but the price is really messed up. i feel the lebron 8s were a MUCH better value than what we have now.

What part of Illinois?

nice. Joe stay looking out....

 

[witnesskb24]

MN's were discounted as well on swoosh, had an 8.5 left and snagged it for $114

Also I bet the freegums will be like the chinas where there are 2 different versions, one with the special box and then the normal

 

[leclutchjames]

You got cannons for sale fresh? I hit you up yesterday...

Oh well tho

ended up ordering from nice kicks
Will be here Monday

 

[swooshwbb]

Those cool grays look like fakes to me but I'm not sure.

 

[gentry187]

Those CG are fakes.

 

[you big dummy]

Freegums are

I've been thinking about creating that colorway on Nike iD

Black/volt, Wonder if those are the dunkmans 

Violet- I live in champaign, which is considered southern IL (although it's not) since its south of chicago

what's not to get?....Cannons are limited more than the other colorways. And judging by some of the fits I see with them

.... Lebron should drop some limited clothing for the beast.

yall are trippin. you cannot label a whole colorway as hypebeast.   months ago when the first pic of the cannons dropped and the snippet of the hurricanes dropped i told my boy i was gunna cop BOTH. lmao he thought i was crazy because they were such similar colors and because we had no ideas if they be pe's or gr. i didnt care i just wanted them because i liked them. for me both were an easy pick up too



when it comes to the outfits other people were talking about i like to appreciate them all.  i rock black/white tee's if i want the kicks to stand out or a matching nike tee if you want the matching to be clean. or a shirt i found myself with similar colors to just play with matching.  all look good. but when it comes to pictures of shoes on shirts

anthracite/black/volt has to be dunkman. judging from how they've been relating colorway names to the colorblocking they will be anthracite (or dark grey) where the cannons are green and black swoosh? with volt in some random places. wouldnt of been my guess prior to this but u PS artists now have something to work with haha

And green abyss white obsidian sounds EXACTLY like the cannons minus orange...idk how i feel about that i hope they look completely different these are the pics im looking forward to most right now


Freegums released yesterday in miami? and they gave out 150 pieces of an artwork by freegum. guess that means everyone who wanted a wider release in a regular box will get it later

 

[Deleted member 48228]

Zzzz

 

[witnesskb24]

Best thing about that list, is we get a break, thank you god lol

 

[thapointguy]

man ya'll need to get off that Cannons are limited steez that Nike claimed. If they were limited, Jimmy Jazz and other online retailers wouldn't of sold them early or matter fact have them. I don't buy into, "my store usually gets 100 of Brons but we only 40 pairs this time", it doesn't make them limited. I swear once the limited tag gets thrown out it just cause ppl to be in denial. Would be nice to see production numbers thrown out so we can end this nonsense.

 

[thapointguy]

Dunkmans, I know my body will be ready.

 

[ihust1e]

Went to the Galleria Mall today in Buffalo, NY.



None of the shoe spots there got any cannons at all

. The closest store in the area that did was in Rochester. 45 mins away. Crazy

 

[eastbayrep]

A little late, but grats to all that were able to get their pairs!

ur talking bout eastbay right? if so yeahh buddy i hate when the box gets crushed and ruined.

Yup eastbay! My Miami nights that I picked up earlier this year was wrapped in a bag. Seems like this release is a little more limited so they're doing some extra for it. I'm still crossing my fingers cause you never know what they will actually do compared to what they say.

UNLESS

Eastbay Ray can confirm that for me

According to what I was told, we will now be double boxing most, if not all, launch shoes.  So these should be double boxed when you receive them.

The Cannons sold out really fast, since they were very limited.  Our website did not crash, from what I was told.

EDIT: EASTBAY HAS THE TIMER BACK ON FOR CANNONS. COUNTDOWN TO RESTOCK?

 MAY BE HARDER TO COP THAN THE FIRST TIME AROUND.

EASTBAY REP, WHAT'S UP WITH THIS?

I did hear from a few people that the timer came up again on Friday morning, but when I got in, it did not show up for me.  It appears this was an issue a few people had. Otherwise, there was no restock.

Sorry to hear that. 

  If you want us to look into this, just send us a private message with your order information.
