to be honest the BHM bron's are my favorite after seeing them in person, the dark grey and black look so good with the subtle BHM print... i just cannot stand the tongue and medial side of the IX's...

Let me try to understand this. You have a pair of Lebron BHM. You want to trade for a pair of.....Lebron 8 lows Sprites. The trader says give me BHMs & $40. You got your Sprites.
The thing is, couldn't you have just bought the Sprites for the $220-$240 price that they going for?
Simply put, you could of bought whatever shoe/shoes you have your sights set on with the amount of $$$ you just dropped on all those Lebrons & Kobes. Over $800....
And those same Kobes & Lebrons would still be in the store for people that actually want the shoes.

bro, this isnt always tru... to some they want a shoe plus money... money alone, isnt worth parting with a shoe that they care alot about in most cases... i know im this way... if im getting rid of something i care about or like, i gotta have something to replace that. With the way shoes are limited, especially the way the industry is right now, cash just isnt fair compensation

I have the Miami Nights, but best believe if I can find a pair of BHMs in my size I'm scooping them up with the quickness.
I know they aren't the flashiest pair of IXs but they're one of the best colorways imo.
And the Mangos do nothing for me, don't think seeing them in person would change my opinion of them, but to each their own.

That makes no sense. If you cared that much, you wouldn't be selling it. It's always easier to just buy the shoe you want.

Off to the ghetto I go. Hopefully I find some places with these. If I can cop now by them self I'll get. I like them but had to pass due to the 2 others that come out the same day. Don't mind spreading pick ups out even if only a week but I hate spending do much in one day. And why did dude quote his self?

it does make sense... theres a shoe u like, but maybe theres one u like more.. example... i want bhms but have weathermans... i wouldnt realy be willing to outright sell my weathermans but if someone one offered me the bhms plus the right amt of cash i may take that offer. (this is just a scenario) Howerver, if someone just wanted to buy, i woldnt sell. How can you tell someone how to trade their shoes anyway. If that scenario still makes no sense to you, then you are just mad bc he bought and sold/traded and you need to get over trying to tell another man how to spend his money. Tried being nice and logical with you, it doesnt work for everyone.

Everyone has a price, you may love your favorite shoe. But if someone is willing to give you 2 stacks for it, you not going to turn it down unless your stupid. But hey americans are stupid

this is def. tru.. but chances are for two stacks u can get those shoes back and have $ left over... theres always the exception... all im saying is that there are plenty of ppl that would only do a trade plus money or an outright trade only. they dont want the $only for their shoes bc of the attachment factor... if they cant replace the void that shoe filled then with another shoe they wont sell. I know plenty of ppl that wont sell for the "resell" price but do trades on the reg, that is unless its a very large amount like stated above

^just went and took the BHM and cannon orange laces out to see what this would look like, and it wasnt a good look. I promptly put them back in their proper place and pretended I didnt just attempt that.

First thing I'm going to say is......NOBODY IS MAD AT ANYBODY ON THIS THREAD...especially myself.
This is a discussion forum. We are talking about shoes. Everyone is not going to agree with everything that is said. This childish way of thinking that if someone disagrees with what someone is saying.... They mad? When did this start?
That being said....nothing you said makes any sense to me. I've never bought shoes with the sole purpose to trade for anything else. I'm not Daniel Boone. If I want a shoe, I buy to wear. If I decide to sell a shoe that I own, it's because I no longer want that shoe so give me the money. Or I may trade something in my collection for something one of my homies might own that I want more.
I just don't understand the concept of someone spending money on shoes that they don't want to get a shoe down the line that they could of just bought straight up. Once again, I'm not mad....it's your money. But still it's dudes out here that are looking for BHM Lebrons & Kobes that would luv to still have access to buying a pair. But they can't cause cats got 5 pairs in their closet being held for trade bait. I'm just glad I've been doing this long enough where 9 times out of 10 resellers don't affect me one way or another.
That's it for me. Back to the Brons.

Also I didn't know the cool greys had 3m laces and 3m on the upper lace lock mechanism. The more and more i see em I want to purchase them.

anybody have any quantity info on the 3/2 releases (mangos, swingmans, dunkmans) ?
Hoping to cop Mangos and Swingmans, hopefully they're are enough to go around, so sick of nike and eastbay crashing every release day
