    Have you run in Ultraboosts and, if so, do they have that cushioned, but springy/energy return feeling that Ultraboosts have?

    Big daddy Sitch hook you up with those?

    Back in the day, The Situation from Jersey Shore used to endorse those back in his pill days. I can’t see those and not think....we got a situation.

    lol no. I was at the coast and didn’t bring a pair of sneakers and grabbed those at the local sneaker store. I ended up really liking them. Didn’t wear them much so if i could find them they’re probably in good shape. Past the first season or two I didn’t pay much attention to JS

    From what I can tell the shoes are the same, you just get a giant Ben and Jerry's container with the F&F.

    I think they'll definitely go down. It's a great collab and the F&F packaging is great but there must be a lot more than normal ff than normal. 40+ pairs have sold just on stockx in just the last 36 hours.

    Everyone: We want retros of great Air Max 1's.
    Nike: Lets do the worst one we can think of.

    Those would be fine if not for that clear toe panel. Just cover over that with regular material and theyve got a stew going.

    Apparently there’s a fake shoe maker buying up all the mega money dunks and taking them apart to try to make perfect reproductions. No way I’m buying a dunk on the secondary market for >$500. The fake guy recently bought a pair for 10k

    I wonder if it's all the same buyer or just a couple of buyers grabbing them now and hoping to sit on them for awhile

    seems crazy that many people are willing to spend that

    I'm not surprised there's that many people willing to buy, I'm surprised that many pairs have already hit the market. Normal ff are like 24 to maybe 200 max pairs.

    Nike/these stores should make more of an effort to only give f&f pairs to sneakerheads that will keep them. They should number every pair and actively blackball anyone who abuses that

    I saw a picture of one of them taking apart a pair of the Dior Jordan 1's for the same reason. Doesnt make a lot of sense to me to go through all the trouble and expense for that pair. Theyre so stupid limited and numbered that any pair you see not on a famous person or huge collector you know theyre fake.

    they had like 10k preorders for their strangelove and ts dunks. The side by side pics you couldn't tell the difference. Many of these people buying them are flipping as real

    Fake companies have been doing that for a while. Perfect Kicks buys the leftover material from the factories. You'd have to have the real side by side and go stitch by stitch to tell the difference.

    That's nothing new. Those companies have been deconstructing real pairs for a long time. Usually the first few batches have something wrong bc they are going off pictures but once they get the real they deconstruct and fix the mistakes.

    PK calls it "God version" when it's the actual same material that they bought from the factory. I did a lot of research on fakes when I started spending good money on shoes and they are the top of the food chain. Hell people make fakes of PK's fakes. There's fake PK websites out there.. There's middle men that buy hundreds of pairs of PK's and then sell them for a profit.

    We’ve all heard of PK. Not who I was talking about but obviously they also make good fakes. Even if nobody would know I couldn’t wear a fake. Don’t care if others do. Some of the prices are too much unless it’s your grail

    Hello. I have never opened this thread and have never been big into the shoe scene. After running in Asics for the last few years, I recenly bought a pair of Ultraboosts and I already love them. Have ordered four other pairs in the last week including the original triple white ones which I guess were/are fairly popular.

    That is all I have to report. Love you all.

    I didn’t have any issue with the Asics. They just got kinda worn and I decided to experiment a little bit. Plus my 13-year old niece said Kanye likes them or used to promote them or whatever. Something along those lines.

    I have decided that these 992's are kinda sick on foot.

    I like how the solid blue hides the oval cutouts (which generally kill the 991/992 for me) and overall they pop kinda hard.

    Not that I really wanted them, bc I don’t wear a lot of navy, but just got the navy multi color UBs as I put a low bid of $145 in and a seller took it

    guess i gotta get some navy shirts now
