The pair I ordered very late Wed night from the deadstock.ca link posted by
M

shipped via FedEx all the way from Winnipeg (more than 2,000 miles away), and my tracking says it’s already arrived here in L.A.
Delivery scheduled for Monday and there’s still people waiting on release-day SNKRS pairs to ship/arrive

Ugh, SNKRS pair came in and QC is really bad on my pair. If anyone knows spots in LA with stock, let me know, I need to grab a pair in person and send these back. Super bummed out.

Curious what it came out to considering the dollar is strong right now.

$216 including shipping. No tax charged. $14 cheaper than retail + CA tax, so actually it’s a discounted pair! Will never beat that again on these. I had been wavering on even trying for another second pair after I returned my local second pair to Champs Monday because the uppers were entirely smooth with zero tumble. But for less than retail it was a no-brainer.

Great stuff, fellas! I’m crossing my fingers my pair is solid. If not, it won’t be difficult to unload and recoup the expense.

I’m praying I can at least mix & match a decent pair, although both left & right sneaker from Nike were both pretty poor. I have faith that Canada will hold me down, eh?!

LOL Yeah dude, as usual it’s all just a random crapshoot. My first pair from in-store pickup at FTL is great. Then I got that second pair from Champs with literally ZERO wrinkles to the leather. Worst part was, everything else on that pair was perfect, from shape to EP height. But they looked so wrong being covered in perfectly smooth leather.

Bizarre how inconsistent each pair is. I think Seango complained about the same thing. Lots of folks pickin up multiples just to vet pairs lol

Agree. It’s bizarre when you consider modern manufacturing tech, but it’s the same on every retro release. I’ve actually had reasonable luck the last few years on most shoes, but I’ve also had a few instances of having to buy multiples of one shoe to get one reasonably good pair. From Air Trainer 1s to the Flight Lite 2s to Huarache runners to obviously Jordans … it’s wild, man

If anyone needs an oop on a size 9 and in LA let me know. These are clean but I can live without them for now.

The bonus here is that it’s coming from Winnipeg. Consider yourself blessed that you got a pair of shoes that happened to be located in the same city as yours truly. What an honor that must be for you. Lol

Nike Air on the left is really slanted especially in person, I'd rather have it like this than with huge elephant print on the toe. These will definitely go down as one of the best retros done by JB.

Decided to throw them on today. First time wearing a pair of 3s in a long time. They do feel a little spacious.

I used to do this... but sometimes I will sell the DS pair which ends up being the better one...but after knowing that I just keep and wear the better of the 2

Not at all, people just want both pairs of the shoes that they purchased to look the same.
Apparently that’s too much to ask.

Snkrs finally shipped- getting them Monday via fedex…original eta was 9/23. I guess they just pushed the dates out to decrease expectations. Happy to finally be able to….check ep height and matching leathers

I always wear the better pair first and take care of them, just in case I unload the second pair or a better retro of that same shoe drops again.

Just kidding, son.
