Nigerians still pulling them scams lol. 

I have had many incidents, even had them mail me Offical "CHASE" Business checks with watermarks and all, only giveaway was the heavy african accent answering the 800 number from the check. :lol:  

Nigerians aint even the biggest scammers anymore. People getting scammed outta mortgages/houses and loans now from all races and countries. Be safe out here :lol:

Yea your definitely right, there is "Levels" to this scamming **** to. Had someone try to get me on a Benz i was selling Private through craigslist. I feel bad for the people actually falling for this stuff. 
 
Nice pick up retro! On a side note anyone notice how insanely overpriced sandles are? I am looking for a pair for the summer and designer sandles cost as much or more then designer shoes from the same brand. I'm not sure why you can get SLP boots and sneakers for less then their $995 minimalist sandles. Seems to be across the board too with other brands. Guess I'll wait for the sales
i feel like slp pricing is all over the place and never really makes "sense"
 
Have a pair of SLPs on the way from Sneakerboy. Thought it was interesting they shipped this pair from Australia, instead of their HK warehouse. Can't wait for the week to fly by.
 
Got this sn back :pimp:

Common Projects Chelseas pushed back a little further for ALL retailers. Don't expect to see anything until next month at least.
 
Henn Gawd :pimp:

Prolly not the thread for this but I half rubber soled two pairs of AE's today. You rubber sole any of your leather soled shoes?

I wanted it done because it's two pairs of shoes I will be wearing for work almost every day. I do a fair amount of walking on the street, metro, and at work on hard surfaces and the weather in DC can get rainy/snowy at times. Figured the rubber sole would make them a bit more durable and comfortable for me.

Then I was reading about it online today and a lot of conflicting opinions. I decided I would have rather not had that done, so went back down to the shop to cancel it. Dude looks at me and says, "too late," and holds them up showing he had put the sole on. But then he tells me to pick them up Monday or Tuesday? When they looked like they were done. I just said ok and left because he was really busy. Any idea why they will still take another week before they are finished? They looked pretty good though so I'm not sweating it any more. Will this just be able to peel off when it wears down and the leather sole will be like brand new basically underneath?

What are y'all opinions on the rubber sole over leather soles?
 
Rubber topy/vibram soles are great.

Provide more traction, comfort, and increase longevity of the sole's life. I want to get them done to my SLP boots but have not found a competent, local cobbler yet.

What are the cons of rubber sole-ing that made you not want to do it? 
 
^The rubber prevents the leather from being breathable. But, if you use show trees to absorb moisture and rotate then this shouldn't be an issue.

That the sole can rot quicker.

That the heel can split from the front leather being more restricted from the back.

If done poorly they can cause balance/discomfort issues.

It makes the leather sole less classy and visually appealing. Not a big deal IMO because no ones looking at the bottom of your shoes really.

This was just some the things I read and I'm not even sure I believe all of them lol. Obviously there are a lot of pros to go against those cons. A lot of purists out there that won't want the integrity of their leather sole ruined. I gotta be practical though I think these will be more functional, comfortable, and will last longer for me.

I dunno. I was having second thoughts. But after he showed them to me they looked great and I really need them since I wear my shoes to and from work in all types of weather and don't have a huge rotation (spend all my money on high end sneakers instead haha).

You should see my leather soled AEs now after Lik two years of wear...they look trashed.

New cops. These SL finally grew on me.
Givenchy run too small and too late to return. If anyone interested hit me up Sz 13 but run very small, tighter than MMM. Be perfect for sz 12.

^^^ nice cops.

I copped the royals right after I UNDSed my blk/reds. Very nice shoes

thx, definitely are dope shoe. think im heading back up there to get those too. I wanted the Red/black but the leather on the tongue was different. Guessing it was the dye too. Leather was too stiff.
 
@Hennessy if you don't mind, I'm looking to have a pair of me SLP done.. Where was the shop located and name
 
Do these guys from overseas use US addresses in their schemes? Guy wanted me to ship to Chicago but after I told him to F off He said he was going to send a curse from Africa,which made me think he's in Africa. Maybe he was going to re route the package somehow.
 
"Send a curse from Africa"? Haha... I don't know. I've shipped to someone in Singapore through some kind of rerouting in Kentucky. May be the same type of thing? What was the Chicago address? Did you look it up? When I looked up to the Kentucky address it came up as a rerouting service.
 
No the address he gave me was a residential house. My guess is that he prob has a fake ID with the address and name on it, then tells them to hold it at the shipping courier and picks it up himself.
 
Hmm, that's some ****... Glad you're smart enough to catch it and not get got.

al6unr al6unr Hennesy posted a page or so back that the CP Chelseas were in fact pushed back in all retailers. Al Audi also posted an early preorder link from a legit Euro site. They're a bit over retail though and their estimated delivery is in June.
