No problem, I should have mentioned that it'll probably be $255 like most other Jordan releases and not $250, my bad. Google conversion says $190 USD is $250 CAD but I just checked and the Royalty 4s in the U.S were $190, in Canada they were $255 and not $250.Thanks man
So the Solar reds are worth more than the Pirate Blacks?I have one of those in a size 8... Trying to sell next week. Had someone flake on me from Facebook because I assume he got a pair on Saturday.
Looks like the Pirate Black V2s are selling for 700-750.
Thanks man

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Adidas-Men-s...hash=item1c6a081dfb:m:m06ozoAbNIK1pkDuitFAW4gDo any of you guys know where I can get a pair of D Rose 6 or 7s on sale? Footlocker.ca has them for a good price but it seems to be all sold out. $85 for the 6s and $95 for the 7s. After watching a whole bunch of review videos I think this would be a good ball shoe to get my little bro because of boost and a whole bunch of other stuff I don't understand lol.
Edit: looking for a store close to me as I don't want to head to downtown. I live near York University.
Thanks
I think it depends on the size. I've seen some sizes go for more.

I don't know if it's just me, but I honestly feel anything larger than a 10.5, felt a lot more limited this time around.

resell prices started high at 800 and now it's settled around 700ish.. I'm thinking they'll end up around 650 when all is said and done

Also remember that the solar red/black pear started off pretty low. It was only a few weeks/month after that the prices crept up on them.

Still went for more than the other 2 colours. It was the most in demand one from that release. When it released, everyone was trying to trade the other colours for them. I got lucky and traded the green pair for them on release day.

If you purchased them from a store (not from resale) i wouldn't worry too much cause it's 99% burnt glue. the holes shouldn't be an issue either as long as they don't penetrate the outsole and is likely just a puncture they made on the fabric before they sewed it on the uppers. Did you look at the other shoe, does it also have the punctures?Would it bother you guys if some weird glue brown/caramel coloured stuff was underneath the insoles of your sneakers? I've seen complaints of general glue marks/ poor construction on certain kicks but I just bought some Saint Laurent sneakers and they weren't cheap. I was inserting a gel insole for added comfort/ better fit and on one of the shoes, the bottom seem so to be made of a semi cheap styrofoam looking material. There's some kind of substance which is probably glue but it looks like it's partially melted the foam and there's three puncture holes. I'm pretty OCD with my things but I feel this type of quality control isnt acceptable for something that expensive.

Anyone know what Adidas' version of Tech Fleece? Going to give it a shot.
By any chance is it the ZNE collection?
I would say that ZNE Hoodie is the closest comparison to the Tech Fleece from Nike. From my personal experience, I have the RM ZNE hoodie and it feels thicker than the standard TF hoodies (windrunner/hero models). The ZNE though doesn't feel as plush as the TF and i found that the TF moved better with your body (has more stretch). Both are good in their own rights (prefer the ZNE in colder months) but if i had to choose btw the two models i would lean more towards the TF if they cost the same price.
I'm not 100% sure on the comparison, but they seem to be similar. I have the ZNE hoodie, and its a really good quality. Hood is really nice too

No i hear you man, it sucks esp when you see these imperfections on a luxury shoe that cost top dollar. in terms of a blow out i don't think you'll need to worry too much about that given the shoe doesn't have any "air" tech in it so you should be ok. If anything, make sure you keep the receipt and if there is a blow out of the shoe for whatever reason you might be able to get a refund or replacement from the manufacturer.I'm definitely being nit picky but they were bought online and not from North America so returning them would be a hassle. I do agree that it's not a major issue but I was concerned there could be a blow out of the sole or it would wear down quicker because of the holes. Oh well...
It's also only on the left shoe so that's why I assumed it was a factory defect. They're brand new unworn shoes so it's definitely not damage caused by a previous owner either.
Goto the Saks Outlet Store at VM sometime and check out the construction of some of these so-called luxury footwear and your jaw would drop at the crappy craftsmanship.Would it bother you guys if some weird glue brown/caramel coloured stuff was underneath the insoles of your sneakers?

Ya this is most definitely true. Although I would never compare the "craftsmanship" of a sneaker to a high end dress shoe or boot. Sneakers can be made very well but the whole base of a sneaker is usually a rubber sole glued on to it's upper so I feel a lot of sneakers would have defects of the nature of OP. No sneaker is worth retail imo and are almost always produced for literally a fraction of the cost. I like CP Achilles a lot but are they worth over like $600 CAD. Nope.

I knew a lot of these big name expensive shoes are BS for a while now. The last high quality made shoes I've bought in recent times were some limited Dr. Martens and a pair of Crockett & Jones dress shoes I got at J Crew when they first opened in Canada, all of them goodyear welt and Made in England. I would stay away from the Italian made crap they sell at Harry and Holts.
BTW the workmanship on my US made Wolverine 1000 Mile boots kinda sucks too but still very rugged with rough use.
I own both ZNE hoodies (original and road trip) and as much as I want to like them, they don't compare to Tech Fleece in regards to comfort and fit. They're both a lot stiffer than my TF hoodies and even though the road trip is meant for 'travelling to and from games', I would honestly rather wear my windrunner.

It also appears that the ZNE Road Trip line is their attempt at making something closer to the Tech Knit line given the weave of the material.
I'd agree that the the fabric isn't the greatest.
I personally don't like the feel of ZNE hoodies. It feels stiff and I hate the thumb holes. As for tech fleece... I like how the material is softer but the quality is not the greatest. They seem very fragile. Not sure if it's just bad luck for me but I ripped one pair at the seams because the material is not strong and another developed a hole in the fabric.
