Official Toronto - Outlet and Store report

Gotzgame said it best. Repped !

HOH is only a name . Textbook marketing scheme . They offer the same thing every other champs and FL offer. People think they're more elite when they get their shoes from HOH. I mean how many of you seen those ads on kijiji that say " got these a HOH downtown " lol . So what ? Who cares where you got it from . You don't see ads saying " got these from champs in scarborough " lol

HOH just has a bit more pairs than normal. The only upside to this is that the west end people will not all flock downtown and more people will be able to get their pairs .

You saying that HOH is a marketing scheme is like showing me what a wheel is.

fixed. lets not get carried away here. we're basically getting scraps compared to the heat that drops in the major HoHs south of the border. we shouldn't let nike and ftl think we're ok with that. we're toronto. we're behind only nyc and l.a. in terms of population. we should be getting anything and everything they're getting. period.

Anyone going to the ES store can grab me some NSW tech gear? Don't have a pass anytime soon. Thanks in advance.
 
Just posting an update from VMills Nike. So I'm holding in my hands a sz 10 navy Inneva Woven. I won't say the price but will say it's significantly cheaper than retail one of one and is a US return. Hope it finds a good home.

Other than that a lot of Red Flyknit Racers at 109.99. Blazer Suede Premiums reduced to 64.99 and that's it... Same stuff otherwise from the Boxing Week sale.

These Innevas are hot though. LOL

Went to Buroak and Halton Hill Nike....there's nothing but a couple of Lebrons X lows in sz 7,8 and 8.5 and for like 109.99. I saw a pair of sprite (sz7) , university reds (8 and 8.5?), knicks (can't remember what size)...oh if you wanna get some spizikes for your little bros or w.e they got some black/yellow ones at Buroak for like $50-60 (largest size available is 5.5y I believe). I noticed the back wall at Vaughn is 25% off but at Buroak and HH aren't? and clearance clothing racks at HH is 30% off. Prices are kinda inconsistent through those three stores.

Nope, after all the effort I put in for this release those spots were my last hope for a retail price pair but I struck out again for like the 5th time.....
 
How do those Flyknit racers fit compared to the Trainers and FK1s? Anyone with experience can shed some light?
 
^ I get my true size, but I wear thin socks with them. You could go down a half and go barefoot no problem though.

TTS in both Racer and Trainer. Never messed with the Lunar pair though.

in my opinion the lunars are just a step ahead.. i have both trainers and racers.. but i always seem to put on my sprite flyknit lunars lol. The red racers look good though, with joggers, fleece shorts.. actually just about anything lol
 
Went to Vmills today. Saw one pair of Nike KD 5 in the away colorway (black/blue/orng) in 10.5 for $80. Melo 9 was $109, but if u walked across to footlocker the Melo 9s were $85
 
Hey all. Has anyone had any experiance with premiumkicks store? I find them suspect. But need other opinions / comments. Thanx. Keep up the great discussions.

missing the prelude pack is a big miss. retail here would probably have been $250, but that's still $200 below the current aftermarket asking prices. i just have a hard time swallowing toronto's exclusion when the gta has the same metro population as places like DC and houston who get everything. i just want my damn shoes and i'd like a convenient place to pick them up locally. when you're using paypal to get more of your shoes than your credit card or cash in fcfs situations, it means that the local offerings aren't good enough.

i've had to import every single one of my hyperposites from the us or asia, which is cheaper than what canadian retail would have been, but we still should have been able to get such a basic nike basketball silo here. the xx8s were also MIA up here too. certain CWs of other silos were completely MIA (sole collector supersonic gloves).  there were also countless late arrivals (like weeks late) which wound up being swallowed up by staff upon arrival if they were really hyped up CWs. the hoh is good, but not as good or great as it could be. i'd give it a B or B+ grade overall.

Adding a hoh is always a good thing.

agreed. i know i'll be camping for the hoh square one opening (or wherever the 2nd hoh winds up landing).

Repped. Well said. I agree with everything but especially the highlighted section. I'm tired of feeling like a second class citizen in the shoe world.
