does anybody know where i can get photo reels for decent price? because only seen through ebay and prices are soo + expensive
 
Sometimes they say not to buy around release window because resell price has a tendency to go down. I remember when fools were asking for $300 for PH, now it's $600-$1,000 on the Bay.

I think its a case of how limited they are. I think someone threw around a number of 1,000 made.

only 1k made and sold in pop ups in nyc during asg... averybody hated on these, now throwing money at me for my pair but i won't let em go, and i'm not a guy who's difficult to sell best pieces!
 
i caint really **** wit the hares unless they get down to 75 tho

ive been buying cws i dont like just because i want to hoop in the best performance shoe, but those are so terrible i cant do anything within 25 to 100
 
So I am at a crossroad, Here is some of my shoe back ground to help you guys answer my question. My current rotation is Clutchfit drive ( Outdoor) Curry One and Brandblack J crossover 2 ( both for Indoor) . I also have Rose 5 boost but I bought them a half size too big so I am unable to hoop in them as they hurt my toes because of my feet sliding around in them. With all that said I LOVE the cushioning in the JC2 and the Mirco G is a close 2nd. The Charged in the curry's and the Boost in the Rose's are OK ( Ultra boost running shoe is MUCH better feeling than in the basketball shoe) but the problem with all of them is most of the cushioning is at the heel and not the forefoot where I want it most. These XX9 seem to have the cushioning exactly wear I want it

So what I am asking is, How do u rate XX9 vs the others I have or even against the XX8's. I am looking to get another shoe for outdoor use and I was looking at the XX9, Adidas Lillard 1's, Peak TP1 or just getting another part of JC2. Sell me on the XX9's guys, How is the traction outdoors?
 
Never played in any of those you've mentioned, but I can give you a little review.

I like the XX9s. At first I really loved them because of the comfort and the bounce from both air bags was like nothing I've ever felt. Supper bouncy and comfortable. First 10 minutes of practice I probably missed like 2 shots. My dribbles were crazy, my footwork was better, I was making circus shots. The high I got from these shoes had me feeling like Mike.

 But then I came back down to reality.

After a half size down and some more playing time I still like them, just not as much. I think I need to double sock it with some thick socks because there's still some room, but once I do that I'm sure I'll enjoy them 10x more. The traction is pretty good. My gym floor isn't ever waxed or really upkept as far as I can tell, but it's not majorly dusty since there's always people playing daily. Just an average court, but these don't seem to grip it was much as I would like them to. But I've come to find through my limited experience with performance basketball shoes (CP3.VI AE, Soldier 7, XX9) that I'm a herringbone guy through and through. Nothing has gotten me a better feel for the court than those CP3s but those are meant for guards playing low to the ground and that's how I play so it makes sense.

Comfort is great. You can tie these as tight as you can and feel absolutely ZERO discomfort. Lockdown is kind of undetermined because I think I need another half size down, double socks should be enough though, but so far it's just been okay. I get a ton of compliments in the gym so that's a plus. It's a good shoe. Would like another colorway, but there's nothing besides TO that I want and I wouldn't really like to pay over $120-140 for another pair. Would rather try another model out. But if cushioning and comfort is a priority, these definitely fit the bill.

Not sure about outdoors. I don't buy shoes for outdoors I just recycle my old indoor pairs because the rubber wears really quickly on the asphalt court I play on. A smoother outdoor court would be more suited for these, but the rubber is kinda soft so I wouldn't invest in these anywhere near retail if you're going to play outdoors.

For basketball? So far yeah. The Currys have me interested and I've always wanted to give Rose's shoes a shot, but I have more trust with Nike/JB products.

I am the opposite. I haven't wore a nike or jordan product in a while because I found most other brand to be much better quality and more  comfortable . IMO they just relied on the name to sell shoes but I like the reviews I see on the XX9 so I thought about giving them a try.
