The lengua and cabeza from Tacos El Gordo changed my life
I should have given it a shot, but I was hesitant because the line wasn't very long on "that side" lol. Regardless, that was better than expected (tried the spicy pork, beef and chorizo(wasn't too big on their chorizo)). Overall, I prefer Tex Mex, but El Gordo was certainly one of the better places I've been around here. Honestly, I was expected more places to be similar to them considering there are so many Mexican places. I like to chalk it up as I haven't been here too long and don't know the lay of the land that well yet. I'm sure in time I'll find some more gems.
 
One of the things I love the most is when I see the younger generation and today's teenagers say they think M.J. is the greatest of all time after watching his youtube videos, not to mention them also saying that Air Jordans from the 80s and 90s look sick to this today. Tinker and MJ really created timeless master pieces that will span generation after generation to no end. Air Jordans will eventually become what Chucks and Adidas Superstars are today but at a whole different level.

Tink can't get no love with the 1s though

. You'll have to reserve that for 3s+
 
Thanks! My dad said he would help me camp so I can pick up a pair to stock as well and also to make sure im safe. 

If your going to camp, the store with the most allocation would be Flight 23 at the Miracle Mile mall. It will be madness regardless since FTL at Miracle Mile is also doing fcfs but Flight 23 always has more pairs. Also, follow Nike Las Vegas (inside Ceasar Palace) on twitter for their release procedure.
 
 
 
Bro, our parents couldn't afford it though

These kids spoiled now a days.
word, im asian and my parents would NEVER spend over $50 for a pair of sneakers that i'd trash in half a year. nowadays, kids be rockin yeezys like nothing. 
Haha. I'm half. Ironically, my mother, the white one, used to get in my dad's a** about buying me too many shoes. 8th grade I probably had close to $1k worth of shoes. Mind you, this was like '91, so you could certainly get a lot more shoes than today. Good thing I quit buying Jordan's in 9th grade (till the 11s and then quit again when the 12s came out). Wasn't too big of a fan of the 7s.

IMHO my Hare 7's from 2015 some of the most comfortable Jordans I've ever worn.  
Couldn't bring myself to buy them then ... or during any of the rereleases lol. Only one I mildly considered were the Bordeaux's. If I had to buy a pair, it would be those.

I like 1s, 2s(like 1 or 2 pairs, just kinda), 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 11s. My order of preference is 1s, 3s, 4s, 11s, 5s, 6s.

My memories are a little different.  I remember passing on 1's and 2's.  Jordan's were no match for the Converse Weapon!!  My parents could afford J's but they told me to get a damn job. So I sacked groceries at Tom Thumb to get that shoe money! ($3.25/hr youngins!) :lol:
Man Tom Thumb was my first job! I was 17 dang that seems like yesterday.
 
actually, this is NOT facts. as popular as the sneaker game has become, especially if ur held down on every single release like i am and considering there's a release damn near every week, how long do you expect a plug to hold u down and you aren't looking out? trust me, it won't last very long. even if they tell u it's all good and they don't want anything u STILL take care of them. nothing in life is free and everyone wants something for their efforts. it doesn't have to be anything astronomical, but everyone wants to feel appreciated and no one wants to feel taken advantage of.

my plug knows he's gonna get a tip for every pair he holds me down on and in return i know i'm guaranteed pretty much as many pairs as i need/want for whatever release, period. for instance, i walked out the spot today with 6 pairs of 11s (2 for me and 4 pairs for others). not only that, i strolled into the mall to grab around 5pm and my pairs were secured with no issues like always. the same thing will happen next week with these breds except i'll have more than just 6 pairs. quiet as kept, we been doing this since last year. u think this type of love gets shown consistently with longevity without making sure the plug is taken care of? :lol: just some food for thought.

Respect. What kinda of tip you leaving if you don't mind sharing. That's a lot of kicks to be holding down.
