    Official Toronto - Outlet and Store report

    ^ Been awhile since I've been on this site - hey all trying to read through all the recent pages & posts... slow day @ work. As for the sketchy sus requests to meet up in "the open" by "Kev"- lol nice try. The shoe game isn't what it used to be - hope you're all staying safe

    What are these? (found in Dad's old trainer box)

    Thanks Blake, for the life of me couldn’t recall the Kukini model name. Comfy runner, here’s the OG Kukini commercial - Also not sure but I think they did drop the Seismic cross trainer retro in the Michigan colourway a few years back. All these retroes start to blur & hurts my old shoehead...

    What are these? (found in Dad's old trainer box)

    Top one is Nike Trainerposite, second one is Nike Air Zoom Seismic. Third one never saw & the last one is from the late 90s, when Nike slapped a thermoplastic TPU cage on everything with the visible air bubble. I’ve owned all 3 pairs at one point or another, they were all decent though the...

    I've got an eight year old boy myself, he's growing fast... I'd like to get him into the Nike fold but the only real come ups is through Nike Outlet pick ups, on his birthday or holidays, etc. Right now he's either an Asics or New Balance kid though I did get him a few Nikes to rock into Grade...

    Wow some older (?) heads here talking about VC ... Still have a pair each of the black/red & red/black VC 1s on ice for who knows what reason, @ this point. In terms of tech at the time, & what they dropped (Foam Ones, The Glove, Flightposites, FP2s & FP3s, the list goes on) always had people...

    All true, pretty much. I'm confident 80% of the older heads like me that used to live/lurk/combat/roast in this forum have gotten married, older, bought a house, had kids/family, work/life priorities taking over/precedence, etc. over hardcore shoe hunting It's hard to walk away from...

    It's not just Jordans... I posted a while back in this thread (probably years ago now) how I was at the old Foot Locker @ Vaughn Mills & came across a really really bad pair of AM 95 Neon fakes on their "clearance" rack. Remember, not all shoe store employees are shoeheads & they could take...

    I'm still waiting on the Maple Leafs / Tim Hortons collabo... Though with what they have to work with (Foamposite material) I'm guessing they played it safe for production purposes?

    Official Toronto - Outlet and Store report

    Story of my life bro... I cringe when I think about how much $$ I've thrown into chasing kicks & scoring them off eBay back in the early 2000s.... Could have had a bigger down payment for the house I have now but when you're blinded by your hobby/passion, priorities can get mixed up when you're...

    I second this; as a teenager in the early 1990s, the magic was real, working at Champs, attending Nike PK sessions, etc. seeing stuff firsthand before the average consumer, etc. They were high, memorable times. Who doesn't recall getting amped to see the Easbay catalogue in hardcopy & feasting...

    Official Toronto - Outlet and Store report

    Too much hype over the Neon AM95s... I'll have to see a pair in person to see if they are really true from when I had them when they first came out.... The box is a nice touch & though the pricing is relative (OG retail back in 1995 was $189.99, IIRC) I still think $220 is steep for a now...
