Type of release makes a huge difference on availability, especially if you don't live near a big foot locker.


Indeed. That's what sucks about living in TN even though surprisingly I got my inlines & my homes out here. Hopefully I'll be able to do the same for the draft days, del sols & olympics.

S Dubl- I got ya.  I agree.   I didn't mean to come off creased or short with anyone.  Here is the thing.  I don't think the POP are that limited. Maybe I am wrong, but here is my thing.  If you really want a shoe, with the exception of a very few select and special releases, with the internet, email, mom & pop stores, big chains, NDC, and the almighty NT, in addition to a telephone, there is really no reason most folks shouldn't be able to find what they want.  

Granted, some people's resources are more "limited" than others.  I understand that.  But the reality is, unless you live in the mountains of Montana or the middle of nowhere with the eskimoes in Alaska, you should have some means to get/locate most shoes you are looking for.  I think some folks try harder than others, and thats their choice, but it seems like there are repeatedly questions like this which indicate to me that some folks are solely using NT as their means of locating/copping shoes.

Expanding our horizons and using alternate methods to make your pick up is only a benefit in the long run.  Speaking personally, when I am able to find something/cop something that is difficult for me to find in my "home" area, there is something more special( a story behind the shoe) once its a part of your collection.  Perhaps I am in the minority here, but I think thats part of the allure of collecting things.  If you were able to run to Target 5 min. down the road for each and every releases, I think that would take some of the excitement out of it.  Just my two cents.

Simple pass.  Not feeling the speckles or the lone red sole.
  
 
Silver ones are not bad, MLK are where it's at they need to drop those at HOH or something. I'm dying over here, such a sucker for green

Agreed.  Something about that subtle hint of "slime" green that really works for me and that colorway.  Obviously there are some MLKs floating around.  Is it safe to say that they were run in some capacity beyond a sample or is that assuming too much?

OHHHHHHHHHH NOO he didnt!!!!!!! lol

Sorry, maybe that was a little harsh. I don't have anything against AMLs, I actually like a few of them. I just hate LeBron.

The Vs need a purple based colorway. The IVs had the Home Finals, MLKs and Venoms. Heck you could even throw the 4 Rings in there as well. Give us a purple colorway Nike! I don't think Chaos Vs count because they change colors.

Props to you, I only wear my Kobes for basketball purposes, never casually. If I had BLs or any other limited ZKVs, I would still wear them for hooping.

  
 
Great day today in MI. Wearing these to watch the Tiger's. I hated them this colorway at first, but after trying them on...i HAD to have them
 
Are you guys heading down there tomorrow? I will probably try later in the day, I don't want to be in the middle of morning rush hour.
