Can't wait! ... and Metallic thanks for keeping us updated! I hope they let you show us what the dunkmans will look like (you mentioned it briefly a while back)

 

[metallic]

Anytime any info I get will be posted ASAP.
And hopefully they release the dunkman........!

They have been putting out more shoes
Thats why they have been doing restocks but sometimes thats still not enough these resellers are determined if things stay like this i can see a lot people retiring from the shoe game 

Then i want to see who the resellers are going to sell to 

 

[steve212]

Nike not releasing the Knicks colorways is a damn shame.  Ah well...

 

[bahunt8]

This video kinda confirms it. I liked the mavs ones but its no biggy. I'm sure they have some heat lined up

 

[luxurious24]

those flywire joints are a must, the triple blacks will be copped for ball, and those south beach might have to pick up from a reseller, was lookin foward to the knick colorway though, hopefully the dunkman version makes up for it

I know people saying "ew plastic shoes what a fail"  But these seriously are one of the nicest looking shoes i have seen in a while.  I am really feeling them.

MoNeyLiCiouS asked about this as well.  We don't show this colorway in our system at the moment but I'm checking with our buyer to be sure and will post in this thread when I hear back from him to let everyone know what I find out.

[igotthatfire247]

Got a sneak peek @ some samples while at the event ...

and all I have to say is

 

[GoldenGoose]

Niketown MIA sold out of the 8's

 

[drewdioxin]

I got, pm me with the sample info, didn't get to see that stuff.

Also I am hyped for the V2, Petrire dished a bit about it to me after I told him a sample pic leaked. Got me excited. Does anyone know if a 12 was available on marquee?

EDIT: btw, justin beiber right there somehow skipped in front of about 100 people because someone left and he told beiber his name so he could take his spot. the kid showed up long after the line had gotten to about 150. He was also wearing some mvp ps's that i can only assume mommy bought.

The More You Know.

 

[rhester]

Damn, I wanted these to drop, Petrie better do right by us

What special colorway jerseys do the Miami Heat have?

 

[datboi81]

cant wait for nov. 12 and the south beaches come. too bad bout the HWCs though they would've been tough. guess we'll just have to wait until they retro the VIIs in like year 2025 i'm sure they're make it a retro plus color way lol

All right.  It looks like for the moment we aren't expecting to get the South Beach/Pre-Heat, but our buyers are looking into the November availability and we may carry some at that time.  I'm going to keep tabs on that and I'll post in this thread to let you guys know if we are going to get them.

[andfattoo]

very good interview.......... there is a slight chance that "city series" may still drop if we make enough noise.

 

[never wear them]

That's wack. No Knicks colorway makes me care less about this shoe.

The pre heats are cool tho. But ugh

 

[sick kikz]

Info on the november release of the South Beachs ?

 

[andfattoo]

11/12............... on NDC and other HOH's......... i heard they are gonna drop on eastbay as well.
