[jcjay]

Picked up my double up pair a few days ago, and walked into SP and got the last pair for the little one yesterday. Rarely do I double up, but had to make an exception for these.

SNKRS pair finally got delivered this morning via Laser Ship. Happy to add to the stash

What are using to protect these? Scared to rock some yellow suede kicks….

I would like to know this as well.

I’m in the market for a pair of University Blue 4s on eBay, but I’m scared to death about dropping 400 hundred on suede shoes, when I live in a city where it rains 8 mon out of the year.

I’m concerned that some of these waterproofing sprays could potentially damage the shoes.

Any advice would be greatly appreciate.

All those stain repellents work good and I haven't noticed any work better than the other.. Go to your local foot stores and grab the cheapest stain/water repellent

For Someone who’s never owned a pair f 4s, can I get some advice on sizing for these? I keep hearing they run a bit small.

If I wear an 11.5 in Jordan 1s, 5s and 6s, is TTS a safe bet with the 4s?

I’d have to drop $300 or more on eBay.

With no returns, I need to be sure.

Thanks.

What did you hear?

People who use those suede repellants, Does it have a weird smell to it?

 

[q-ball2220]

They all smell funny just spray in a well ventilated room

 

[snkrfollower]

What did you hear?

Nothing, and that's what worries me lol. With the shipping delays we've heard about I'd have thought we'd be seeing some FTL/FNL restocks.

bid of $259 hit for my wifes sz 7.5, not bad. I think she’d rather have the shimmers tho, might have to grab those too

Got my pair in. Relaced them and took a quick pic. #nofilter

These have more cushion than the breds? My ankles feel cozy

I certainly felt the cushioning. I feel like these are a little tighter like the UNC 4s, but maybe that’s just the random sizing in error you can get between hundreds of thousands of sneakers made.

I hit on these. I have a patient that I see we get the medical stuff out of the way real quick in 5 minutes so we can chop it about what shoes we wanna cop before we "retire" anyway these Lightnings were his grails so I was happy to get em for buddy for retail.

i’ ve seen videos on YouTube of Jordans that’ve been ruined by sprays.

Of course that was regular leather, not suede.

Curious why you relaced them?

I did notice now the right shoe is factory laced (lateral lace over medial) but your left shoe is now medial lace over lateral as the laces go across the tongue.

I usually relace mine because the factory lacing job is sloppy. I wrote a longish response about medial/lateral vs left/right lacing but its early and I don’t think its right so I deleted it.

 

[rbk93]

That's a lot of work just to lace some shoes up lol.
