My guess is not me but I am going to try and buy them "retail" - and I realize I probably have a better chance of being elected President in 2024, marrying a supermodel, and winning the next Mega Millions.
Of the alleged 666 pairs, I figure 90% will be "backdoored" and go to "friends and family".
No way they are selling all 666 if there really are only 666 pairs.

You get yourself a pair of Jesus shoes?

Shoes sold out in under a minute. I didn't get them. I'm shocked some were allegedly reselling for under $3000. Had I known I might have "invested".
Then again, I'm not too sure how well they could/would be authenticated.

Looks like Nike is suing.

People are dumb, sheep and will be anything because of the 'hype'. Good for NasX, I guess.

I saw these in San Francisco years ago. The ad in the window said they resist Satan, so I bought a pair.

R.I.P. Virgil.
Cynical me originally wondered how much $ went to his estate and how went to Louis Vuitton and Nike.

"Proceeds from these luxurious LV AF-1s go towards the Virgil Abloh ‘Post-Modern’ Scholarship Fund, which assists promising fashion students of Black, African American, or African descents".

I'm hearing unless you spent over 50k at LV in the past year your chances are all but zero to get ANY pair.

So..... At 9:00am (Central) Nike is dropping the Off White green Air Force 1s ("Brooklyns") on the SNKRS app.
It's a $160 shoe that in my size is re-selling for about $2,000.
Chances I get selected are slim to none but hey, you never know.


Unfortunately I was about 15 minutes too late on the OFF WHITE site......
Only "more than 21 hour/s" wait time in line. LOL!

You are now in line.
Thanks for your patience.

Your estimated wait time is more than 21 hours...

Mario reaching out to my sneaker buddy made me laugh (see comments in the Instagram post).
Especially because I know Devonte' has the hook up at Nike.

Got a cool pair of KU kicks for early Xmas.

One thing I don’t like about some of the newer “cooler” kicks is no tongue on the shoe. You have to slip em on like a sock.

Nice that you got some KU kicks! Happy early Christmas!
As far as shoes with no tongue and slipping them on, something to be said for comfort and ease.
Often on the weekends I will slip these on to run to the store.

Went to the Supreme store today. They had a "drop" for a Nike collaboration.
Had an "appointment" (reservation) which was hard to get.

Showed up and about 200 "re-sellers" were hanging out ready to pounce on those who had appointments/reservations and wanted to sell their shoes for a profit.

I picked up both pairs of shoes but one of the pairs the biggest size they had was a 9.5. Not my size.
I bought the 9.5 knowing I could/would sell them.
I walked out and knew a bunch of the re-sellers and I asked who wanted to buy the 9.5s.
I was made a fair/market offer (actually bid) for them and I sold them.
Was told by the re-seller if the Supreme employees saw me sell the shoes they would ban me from the store.

Two questions.....
A. After I buy the shoes from them, and I am no longer on their property, what business is it of theirs what I do with the shoes?
B. How would they ban me? Would they chase me down the street, ask me my name and ask me for ID, and then put me on a banned poster by their front entrance?

I wonder what my 3 year old Adidas would bring. They're like size 11, white with black stripes and grass stains.
Defense. Rebounds.
