Vancouver thread.

Damn, I would've loved me some playoff 12s. I'm in south Africa right now so I had to pass on the 88 3s as well, managed to snag a pair of he got game 13s in new York during my layover though :smokin

I was saying the same thing! I would love to get another pair of playoff 12s since the outsole on mine are pretty beat. Then again, what else could you expect form a shoe with a white outsole? Lol

Pretty dope that you were able to cop a pair of HGG 13s in New York; the sneaker game there is like no other...:wow:
 
Those teaser pics from Livestock finally have some meaning!

Everyone is going HAM as usual! The Livestock site is down because there is too much traffic. Too many people from the States hitting up the site.

I got pretty lucky, just showed up at the mall closest to JFK an hour and a half before they opened. Most of the stores did raffles, but Footlocker had some non raffle pairs and Jimmy jazz was FCFS. I think they all have small feet in NY :lol: , cuz everything below size 10 sold quick, but there were still a couple size 11s, my size, when I finally made it to the front :smokin

That's surprising, maybe they had a lot of the younger ones fiending for them. When I was in NY, I swore that over half the dudes I saw were over six feet tall. Lol
 
Anyone get lucky on that Livestock scavenger hunt? The guy who replied back to Livestock's tweet to win the Concords did it within two seconds; I got mine 16 seconds after. I have no idea how he saw the tweet so quick!

I should have won the stealth foams. The guy they awarded them to replied back 20 seconds or so after me. The concords were the ones I really wanted and the foams would have been a nice consolation pair had I struck out of the concords. It sucks I didn't get anything but life goes on.

A lot of people in line were there to resale, so I think 8-10.5 are probably the easiest to flip. It was cool to say I copped em in NY. I figured I'd miss out on the HGG 13s because I'd be travelling, so it's a nice consolation prize for missing on the '88 3s on eastbay on the US release date and not being in Van for the Canadian drop either.
 
does anyone know what the deal with the patent 1s are next week? can't get a solid answer on whether or not shops are getting them.
 
I've been trying to find out as well but I've gotten nothing.

One week till the supposed release date and still no official pictures. Maybe these patent leather 1s will be as limited as they're suggesting they'll be in the official thread.
 
Have you guys posting about the Penny V Cloaks from Kix-files received them yet? I'm thinking about placing an order myself....

Yeah I got em. No charges from customs either, they labeled it as a gift. 

Beautiful shoe. Absolutely love em, just need the weather to get a bit nicer.

Nice! Good to know that sites legit.

They got a pretty good selection and decent prices too.

Sounds like they might be like the Royals..... :smh:
 
Walked into the Nike Store in Metrotown at noon today and was surprised to see about 15 pairs of grapes still sitting there. Walked out with my size, I could get used to sleeping in and copping :smokin
 
Nice! This was surprisingly an easy cop. I went to Corner Store (on Main & 10th) an hour before they opened and was surprised to see no lineup. There was plenty of supply for this release.
 
Does anyone know if the Black Toe 1s will be a LR? Also, where's the best place to get them? And finally, will I have to get there early? Thanks.
 
got a DS pair of white grape 5's sz9 - looking to trade for sz9 DS bred 4's straight up or sz9 DS chi 1's + a few $. would also trade them + a few $ for sz9 bred 11's. downtown area. pls email vcselect@hotmail.com if interested.

if interested and u hav j's other than the above in an og colorway to trade let me know. must be DS, prefer sz9.

my first post... not a re-seller!! just trying to recapture my youth through my shoes.

sorry if this post belongs on a better thread... thanks!

Hello gents.

I'll be visiting Vancouver next month, so thanks for providing the info!

After a quick scan it seems like Livestock and Nike Metrotown (and or Oakridge?) are the places to check out for basic Nike stuff?  I'm not looking for anything specific... just wanna know what you guys in CDN have.  I'll be staying in the Burnaby-area, so I guess my closest spots will be Brentwood Mall and Lougheed Mall...

  I used to visit Vancouver a lot and from what I can remember, they didn't have a lot of sneaker spots there... a Sportchek, Champs or Footlocker I think?

Specifically, are there spots in Vancouver that sell Seattle Mariners stuff?  I'm not sure if I'll have time to go down to Seattle, so fingers crossed I'll find something there.

Seems like you got it all figured out for the most part. Definitely check out Livestock, and the Nike stores (Metro and Oakridge). The Lougheed champs isn't so bad, they get most GRs, but not many pairs. From what I know Brentwood doesn't get much at all. Metrotown probably has the best selection, with the Champs, FL, and Nike store. Even the Sportchek gets some decent stuff. Dipt in downtown Vancouver might be worth checking out, though I haven't been there in awhile. I also don't think you'll have too much trouble finding any Mariners stuff, but I'm not too sure.

You probably won't find too much out here, except for ridiculous retail prices, haha.

Well, I hope you enjoy your time in Vancouver, and that I helped even in the slightest, cause it seems you already had it figured out.

^ Thanks for the reply.  I haven't been back since... 2005... so I have no idea how much it's changed.  

What shops will have the Mariners stuff?  Champs/Footlocker... Sport Chek?  How about caps/fitted stores? Know any good ones?
