seen that hoh set up at polo, pretty cool. hope we get some foams too.
 
Got my Lebron an Melo Christmas' at the FL in Polo. Surprised to see Champs and FL got the Christmas Lebrons. There's still Miami Nights at Champs. I sure do hope we get some good releases at this new HOH set up.

polo park always gets all the christmas releases, did you just start collecting recently?
 
Pretty recently. I was just surpised that both stores got the Lebron shoe. There was emphasis on the AND ... should have caps'ed it. Champs didn't get the Melo Christmas one. I'm just glad both of those stores do get what they get.

It's just a House of Hoops section in the store.  I'll take a pic the next time Im there to show you what I mean.  It's really nothing and you can expect the major stores in the major cities to receive the same thing.

FYI to everyone:

Pre orders have begun on the Chicago X's, check your local Foot Locker spot!

And

Nike Lebron 9 Freegums will be released here in Canada tomorrow December 31, 2011.  Great way to end the year IMO!

Happy New Year my Canadian friends!!!
Stay safe and have a great night tomorrow!

Probably going to pass on the Freegums in hope's of the Elite's and the lows being sent here.

It'll be another New Years Eve spent on a train for me.
 
Mister Friendly: winnipeg gets a house of hoops because the polo park location is and has been in the top ten stores for sales in canada for years. pretty sure around the top 5 to be honest, so why wouldn't we get a house of hoops?
 
Heard there were 6 in Canada...Edmonton, Winnipeg, and 4 in Ontario
The biggest thing for us Canadians is that House of Hoops seems to be getting all the limited Jordan Brand releases. Should be awesome!
 
just wanted to thank DRO3000 from Toronto. for the lookout on the freegum Lebrons.

Also Toronto has 2 House of Hoop "sections" that i know of. 1 in Yorkdale and 1 in Eatons Centre
 
Nah - just a rack that holds all their high-end basketball sneakers. It's not like the US ones at all. At least right now. It would be great if Nike Canada starting bringing in all the PE colorways that you always see in the US stores. 
I'll take a picture next time i go...
 
^ The one in Winnipeg will be a store when they can get a spot in the mall, but for now its just a display
 
Those X's releasing on the 21 here too? Forgot to ask if they were indeed releasing on the 21 in Canada.

Yeah they're releasing on the 21st as well.
Pre-order on some FL and Champs has started.
 
these house of hoops set ups are not guaranteed to turn into stores first. like i said before they're testing the market first to see how well the shoes do. so if all the shoes sit around and don't sell till they're marked down then the house of hoops stores will never be a reality.

No prob dude......thats what this forum is for!!!

We need to provide a place for us Canadians to refer to for release info and so on.   Its the only way we'll ever get more releases and a true HOH location!.


FYI, pre orders for the Cement 4's will likely start right after or on the release day of the X's!


And I can confirm what King Au is saying regarding Winnipeg's store.....I believe they are actually #3 in Canada believe it or not

  The HOH sections are a test to see if a true HOH store will work in Canada. 

Support your local market!!!  I know it's tough guys, especially with the Canadian prices being almost 20% higher than US but it's the only way we'll ever see more limited releases make their way to Canada.

So how many of y'all are lookin forward to the X's and 4's???

Apparently the X's have sold pretty well here in Canada (for pre orders of course), so much so that they decided to bring more than the original number planned.

I pre ordered 2 Chicago X's and 2 WC4's

Let's hope these new HOH sections popping up in the stores are gonna bring us some foamposites!!! We got the Duncan Air Max foams this year so hopefully they decide to bring the foam pros and ones too!

My usual spot aren't getting the X's, went and tried to pre-order them at another location no go.
That's find by me, a little work shouldn't be problem.

As for the IV's, still 50-50 on those.
 
I was going to buy the chi 10's and WC 4's but decided to pass.
I'm done buying kicks (I think). I don't get the same excitement/high when I buy Jordans or any kind of kicks anymore. Now, I feel like I'm waisting money buying kicks i don't wear. I never had that issue before.

I feel you on this.
That's why I just buy shoe(s) that I would want to wear.
