Official Toronto - Outlet and Store report

Saw that on their ig account. Full size run. I was considering copping but only to turn them into space jam lows. Anyone know if they're selling for retail?

Just wait until the black 11 lows drop and paint the small white piece of leather in the back

hmm I remember posting letting people know that they had almost a FSR at Kitchener outlet with like the 25% off sale, then afterwards some said there were some at Vmills
 
They sold out already but no clue what the price was. I was hoping there wouldn't be hype since they're low cut haha but boy was I wrong.

I just need a pair to hoop in!

i've never seen SVP price anything above retail so i assume they were for 185$ but i have no clue.

legit shops don't price above retail: livestock, svp, capsule, etc

What about the White/White Roshes?
 
Hey, anyone have any info on the Great Britain/Brazil NM Roshes?

Also, is it true the Jordan 1 Barons won't be available in GS sizes?

Thanks
 
My gf stopped by VMills today. They had a FSR of the flyknit lunar ones posted a few pages back for $109.99, FSR neon lunar racers for $69.99 but nothing else. I'm not a Jordan guy so I don't know anything about them. There is a bunch of women's tech fleece pullover hoodies, size XS, S and XL I believe. Also HOH did get blue tech fleece shorts, not sure how many pairs but I definitely didn't like them after trying them on. Guys who like longer basketball shorts may enjoy them.

Can someone confirm this please?

Also, if anyone was ever interested in that NSW White Label stuff, Holt's at Yorkdale has most of it, granted I think they only have L-XL left. And yea, pretty much everything in that collection is ~$500... They also have the team USA medal jackets from the winter olympics.

These are the ones I am talking about.

Truuuue. Didn't even realize those were dropping this year. Thought it was just the concord lows and that awful snakeskin one.

For those of you with experience with CBI and other mailbox rental places, you generally will get hit with custom taxes when you cross the border again right?

It depends if you declare the items or not (legally you're supposed to), most times, if you don't declare the full amount, but a small but reasonable amount, they'll just let you through, no questions asked or they tell you to go inside the building and pay the taxes (simply present them with the receipts and they will charge 13% of that), only if they find you suspicious do they need to search your car. Many variables when it comes to that but ultimately its the decision of the customs officer at the border.

My friends and I bring stuff back from CBI all the time and haven't had any problems with bringing the items back cross the border, typically we spend a day in Buffalo, cross around lunch time, return after dinner and always cross the Peace Bridge border, queenston/lewiston is the worst when it comes to wait times.
 
Saw some yellow low Kobe 9s at Markville FL today. Not sure about the size availability, but it didn't look like a big size on the shelf.
 
Does the VMill outlet have Thermal Map foams for $130 like in the states?

Didn't know there was a factory store in Canada. How does it compare to the States?

[knock on wood] I've been very lucky with crossing the border and never been taxed (maybe cuz I look like an upstanding citizen

.  I always declare full amount.  I have driven back with ~$150/per person before on day trips. If you're in the US for under 24 hours, there is no exemption; but if you're there for 24 - 48 hours, you're allowed $200/per person and you have alcohol/tobacco allowance (if you don't smoke/drink, hook a friend up - cigarettes are ~30% and alcohol is ~50% at duty-free of what it costs here) - it's $800 if you're in the US for over 48 hours.

As @db9infrared said, it's mostly luck and it's up to the discretion of the officer.  They usually won't bother with charging you if they believe you're telling the truth (their main job is to make sure people aren't smuggling illegal goods in, not to tax you).  Heard the 'unofficial' limit is ~$50/person for day trips, but don't quote me on that.  Think it also helps if you're crossing with more people (i.e. 4 pairs of shoes for a carload of people pretty reasonable, but 4 pairs for driver only is a bit weird).  Also, I think they factor in how long you're out of country - i.e. if you crossed over for 30 minutes and came right back, pretty obvious you're picking up a package, but if you spent most of the day there - it's regular shopping.

I would recommend having your online receipts with you or opening up your packages to grab the receipt - as the guard often asks you if you have receipts.  Heard if they suspect you of lying on the price / have no receipt - they search online for the price and they will usually go with whatever is the highest.  Only heard of this happening to a friend of a friend that underdeclared some car rims.  Would be sh*tty if you bought some hyped drop at retail and they went on eBay and charged you tax on the reseller price.

Overall though, I think you have a lower chance of getting taxed driving back than getting taxed when a package is shipped in to you.  I nearly always get dinged on UPS/FedEx/DHL because they make money off brokerage fees (the fact they have to 'clear' your package and pay your duties/taxes for you).  I have much better luck with USPS, but it's still a gamble.

Even with conversion, mailbox fee, NY state tax, etc. -- it's often still worth it to get your package shipped to the US rather than to Canada.  US shipping is usually free while most stores charge $30 - $40 to ship to Canada.  Even if you get taxed at the border, you usually breakeven from the local price + tax.  Of course, this excludes time spent and gas to drive down - but I head down with the wifey to do some shipping and pick up my packages then.

Another thing you can do is to wear your purchases back if you don't care about the shoebox.  I don't bother with undeclaring/smuggling stuff back in because getting blackmarked whenever you cross the border will suck.

i agree with 100% of what this poster says. 

as a person who often goes cross border shopping often, i do get taxed SOMETIMES. 

over the long haul, what you shoudl be buying should be dirt cheap so 13% tax is not that bad and sincei don't get taxed everytime its not a biggie. 

the main advice that this person mentioned i'd like to iterate is (this is for ONE day trip only):

1) not worth hiding items to customs as its too risky to get blacklisted over a pair of kicks or a purse

2) better to claim SOME items than NO items ( also, they are less suspicious if you do spend a decent amount )

3) be smart and wear whatever items you can, and throw away receipts/tag.

essentially, wear whatever you can without being fishy (wear the shoes if u can throw out your existing ones, layer the sweater or jacket overtop, wear the purse if you didn't bring one over, etc). that way, even if you DO get taxed, its not on everything u bought.

they are usually fine with up to $100 in one day per person  but depends on their mood. they can't tax everybody who spends over the limit. their goal is to catch ppl who lie completely, or just shady ppl in general . 

also, if it terms out you spent nothing, at least mention you had a good meal at cheesecake factory or something so they don't get suspicious. honestly, ppl do go over JUST to eat, so its not uncommon.

No. They sometimes have one or two sizes at the backwall, but for $210.
