They don't need alerts, plenty to go around all day.




and that's NOT a bad thing :smokin

I don't have a Twitter so I just signed up for the text alerts. I haven't been getting anything recently and I don't want to miss a restock or anything important

probably should add snkrs app, seems that the push for nikes new sneaker platform 
 
I love the XI. Way more casual friendly than the overrated IX and no frills all business X. Most people think I'm wearing trainer/runners when I'm rockin' my pairs. And the comfort is pretty good.
 

I've done it once to a pair of Jordan Futures. I didn't do a good job but it still came out looking decent to me.
The one issue I had was getting it on even. It was kind of streaky. This is the best picture I could find in progress. 

:nthat:

How is the durability of the outsole? No chipping or fading right? I'm thinking dyeing just the edge of the outsole is good enough. Kinda scared the dye won't cover up the black in the outsole or work with the glow sole since it's not clear. Any guinea pigs? :D
 
man, i am thinking about doubling down on ASG, one ball one display lol...i can get them for 175..but then again i copped the asg id as well, plus another purple grey fae id...and plus the future multi-color..FACKKKKKK.....
 
 
Trying to hold out for some discounts......
This is going to sell, about 4 people at my local HoH were buying them, and the damn manager let a guy in early to buy a pair also.  But I also am in California where there are a lot more Kobe fans than say the East coast.

Well I dyed a grey translucent. It should dye any color even white. Its just that white will look more pink than red. I doubt it would work on Black because the dye is translucent. 
 
Went to ftl they only had .5^ avail. No tts. Tried them on and they had more toe room but the width was just right. Ther was no Kobe 11 in my tts to compare but if I don't find my true size, these will do. Gotta say these are beautiful. Don't think anybody has mentioned the swoosh is 3m.
Repped, haven't fully inspected mine yet, just went in and copped my TTS immediately.   What size were you able to grab?

Ive never dyed the soles but I think it would yield better results than painted ones. Which in my experience does fade/chip etc after wearing them. I will suggest breakin them in before you customize them. 

What exactly are you trying to do? When Im trying to cover up blk or a dark color, I use white then whatever color I want it to actually be 
 
I would rather have the Duke version and the sad thing is i'm a UNC fan and can't stand Duke.
 
Saw them in person today. They're nice don't get me wrong, but idk. There's just something about them that I'm not IN LOVE with, and I can't figure out what. Good colorway, nice looking silhouette, but idk. Hope everyone who wanted was able to get
 
Whoever is in Toronto for ASW, the HOH on Yonge is doing some exclusive gear for this weekend only. They've got patches of Kobe, KD, LeBron, PG-13, and AD that you can get etched on a hoodie pullover or zip up and pants. Copped the Kobe and will post pics tonight.

Is the 306 Yonge Jordan store selling all those shoes on the clear display wall?  Do you know by chance or are they only selling certain models?

Also can you cop me a Kobe patch?  I PP you :tongue:
