Oh sorry i didn't make it clear.. the japanese tourists the vmv boss was talking about are (indeed) resellers ...

Sinner · Jul 7, 2009

^ I suspected that the JPN tourists were resellers, but my point is that VMV, kix-files, RMK-store are all resellers based in HK and sometimes they convientlyget lots of these limited kicks... I'm not saying they get all their stock from HK (some from China, directly from the factories probably), but I dobelieve HK sneakerheads are getting screwed by them...

And regarding my example (McFly HD's), the yahoo auction I saw, that had them available hours after they dropped, said that the seller was in HK...

Like I said, being the cynic that I am, I just think its convient for resellers like VMV to blame "JPN tourists" for HKers getting screwed, when theyare also doing the same thing... oh well, there's nothing we can really do about it.

alexeibc ~ was there anything specific you were looking for but weren't able to find?

I understand your point SinnerP ... I was looking for numbered jordans, dunks, SBs, Air maxes / other retro shoes... Thanks for the very good point you havediscussed here...

Hi SinnerP,

Any new drops there? Got a friend travelling there by end of this month...

thanks

Sinner · Jul 21, 2009

Hey Cris...

both AM1's dropped a couple weeks ago as did the Maxims...

the Olympic Gold Kobe's dropped today, while the Finals are expected to drop later this week... by Kobe himself. Thats the rumor anyway.

The HK edition of the Hyperize have also been out for a couple weeks...

sircsetroc · Jul 21, 2009

thanks a lot for the quick response, you should be gearing up as well for the Kobe visit there this week...good luck man...time to bring up some of your heatfor the autograph session..

Sinner · Jul 21, 2009

Lol... I won't have to worry about that... I'm not a Kobe fan...

I'm not a LeBron fan either...

eff the NBA and David Stern for taking away my Sonics...

denmark · Jul 22, 2009

irumi · Jul 26, 2009

sickchasedsam · Jul 26, 2009

Kix-files has the ZK IV finals away on pre-order now for just around 200 dollars. Not bad IMO.

that's only for peeps with sz 8 and 8.5 I think. Bigger sizes go for 220.

macgyver35 · Jul 28, 2009

So whose in HK and wants to do me a favor.

Looking for an NTer to take my girl around HK and spend my money on shoes for me. She's free Fridays and weekends and needs help finding spots and someoneto point out good releases for her. she has a cute younger sister too.

sircsetroc · Jul 28, 2009

I got a Venezuelan friend going there on Friday too...maybe they can arrange something...

SinnerP, you gotta a PM...

sickchasedsam · Jul 28, 2009

macgyver35:

at the cute younger sister bribe/bargaining chip.

macgyver35 · Jul 28, 2009

I'd trade her for a 10.5 in some Kryptonates.

They're both two cute asian girls and I could use the assurance of a fellow NTer showing them all the good spots and helping them find some sneakers forme. just inbox me if anyone is down to help or has any suggestions on what's available in most shops right now. Hoop shoe and sneaker wise would be kool.

kidcudahy · Jul 29, 2009

I got a friend in HK as well. Maybe he can tag along. Did the Kobe Finals drop there yet?

flashout01 · Jul 29, 2009

nice to see you postin here kc

kidcudahy · Jul 29, 2009

^ lol thanks man. I'm everywhere.

sircsetroc · Jul 30, 2009

guys, for those expecting Kobe IV from HK, as per SinnerP, resellers have bought all the limited pairs allocated in HK...so it's a sad news for all of usexpecting from there...

macgyver35 · Jul 30, 2009

Do black finals IV drop today?

Sinner · Jul 30, 2009

^ yep... only 35 pairs allocated to Nike flagship... supposedly 15 or so to another shop... all of which have been accounted for, mostly by the m-f-ingresellers. Some sneakerheads (I think they were sneakerheads) were able to get their's, but a majority of those in line were clearly not sneakerheads (oldladies and their 5-year old grandkids)...

Some guys at hk-kicks took some pics... this sums it all up...
