I've got a pretty fire collection in my own opinion but in terms of UM stuff:

- UM UBs x 4
- Gatorade 6s - pine green and orange/white
- Air Barrage Superbowl

I'm having my sneaker guy make the Andre Johnson 11s on a pair of Legend Blues. He's having issues with the sole dye but he'll get there.

I'm also trying to grab the 4Ds when I can.

One of my boys copped the Sole Fly 1s from China. He dgaf

I was not a fan of Yeezy until recently but the comfort is absurd.

Waiting for JB to link up with UM and give us a Jordan 4
 
I have a pair of unworn infrared 6’s I bought from Trophy Room for retail in 2018. Just checked eBay and my size is pretty much fetching retail.

Kind of ****ed that I broke out my 5’s recently (part of the 5/18 Collezione pack from 2009) and the painted midsole chips off, not to mention the clear patch is notorious for turning yellow.

I’m getting old and retired from buying more Jordan’s, so now I’ll wear ‘em and not care if they get worn (3’s, 5’s, 6’s about to be worn, two pairs of 11’s both custom dirty breds and bred 72-10’s, and 12 flu games). Dirty breds get me the most comments. Because, you know, sometimes you just gotta keep it real and get that street cred.
 
When is our adidas deal up? Any insiders hear anything about if we plan to stick with 3 stripe or go back to Nike or Jordan Brand?
 
Got the Gatorade 6’s solely to wear with Canes gear.

On another note, it’s so ******* hard to get some dunks these days. At least it is on the snkrs app. I’ve been trying for my wife and even womens sizes I don’t win the draw and get a chance to purchase smh

This is not original. Nike did this a whhhhhhhile ago. Their shoe was literally called Chicken & Waffles, then called “Hemp” Waffles as a nod to skate boarders who get high & crave chicken & waffles.

Bro; I’m not sure when it happened, but I’m pretty sure some star rocked them & they took off. Dunks were an f’ing after thought. Next thing I know, they become thee hardest shoe to come by. Some of these joints are reselling for a stack. I’ve had to call in some favors on some that I reaaaaally wanted, but bruh, I’m going to assume u have a better shot to win the lotto than to get some dunks on retail. Lol

The “official deal” is not up until 2027. However, I’ve heard from multiple folks that we might want out sooner than that, when buyout is lower. Heard when the report came out how Blake didn’t even know wtf he was signing, along w/ Adidas immediately giving UL a higher compensation, it rubbed many the wrong way, as we were supposed to be flagship school of the ACC.

Honestly, I would prefer Jordan Brand, simply b/c they have a smaller clientele, & Nike is using them as apart of their “elite” division. I think it will help w/ basketball recruiting, as well. We’ll see.

Facts they are. I mean if my wife wants em, then they’re getting popular on IG or Tik Tok or something lol but getting any shoes lately is hard online or an app imo. Probably helps a lot if you have a shoe store around you that you know and trust for drops.

Lol golf shoes. Speaking of which, Jordan has now firmly entrenched themselves in golf footwear. Try getting a pair of XI cool greys or concords that released a few years ago. Runs you close to 1k+ DS. Most of the retro releases are selling as fast as the regular shoes do on Nike/SNKRS.


Golf is actually what got me into buying a bunch of shoes and I started with the ones I wanted as a kid but couldn't afford. XI breds

Have a few pairs as well. Tiger wearing them right now in Augusta has everyone shook lol. I assume it has to do with the leg. Nike is notoriously narrow.

Yeah; Nike is well aware & it’s strictly b/c of his foot situation. Tiger said his foot is still f up. His Nike shoes r more athletic vs. comfort. Nike said they r working w/ Tiger to restructure his shoe to accommodate his new needs.

Footjoys were the first golf shoes I ever wore. Comfortable, & classic.

Tiger mentioned in a presser this morning that he’s wearing shoes that help with traction and comfort. I didn’t catch whether he mentioned a brand but he did go on to say Nike was working with him to create a shoe that would help.
 
Sick of striking out for 1s....


I got plenty retros, but 1s (and 11s) are the hardest to get for retail...I REFUSE to pay resell...smh
