Things were cake on the gulf coast. Not so much here in So Oregon. Not at all actually. No stores here even receive 14s and they damn sure dont get OG 1s, not last year and most definitely not this year.

So I have to choose wisely on which ones to add to the collection because it will inevitably be resale for me. And I cant pay resale on pretty garbage.

If I moved back home to mississippi Id be able to insta cop every limited release because of my size and my guy at City Gear. But then Id be in Mississippi. No shoe is worth that.

If you think things are touch for you try being in tri cities Washington we literally get nothing we only have one mall and it’s small as hell and the footlocker Footaction, and champs don’t get anything, hell I was surprised when they got bred toes at footlocker but they didn’t get game royal 13s lol
 
We have a champs, footlocker and famous footwear. If that doesnt cut it then you have to drive an 8 hour round trip north or south.

I lived in tri cities over the summer when I worked for the dust devil's. Hotter than hell out there and i know exactly what mall and foot locker youre talking about. Shoot me a PM if you need a hand with some kicks and I'll see what I can do. Being in North jersey outside of NYC I have a million malls and shoe stores around.

Try to help you forget about your current desert/west Texas middle of nowhere Hicksville living. If you're fiance works for PNNL then I get it. If not, eesh, move asap.
 
Not my pic but yeah these are def getting swapped with a white tongue and the other pair is getting that "unfrag" treatment. In for 2 pairs. They look weird as hell with the black tongue.

soooooo your going to buy 2 pair in order to turn one pair into a Storm Blue Colorway? weird.

If your just going to do a White Tongue swap why not just get the storm blues? so confused

Do you own storm blues? I do and that shade of blue is definitely not anywhere near royal blue. Hold them up to royals and the difference is huge. I also own UNC's. By your logic, should I have even gotten the storm blues? I mean, it's the exact same color blocking and the colors are so similar right? The game royals are a super different shade of blue. The white tongue swap is because I want a ROYAL Chicago. I don't want a "Storm Blue" Chicago The tongue tag will also be painted/redyed to be a royal blue version of the chi tag. Also, the storm blues are not the same color blocking style as the game royals (which is more like chi & rsbb). Aside from blue and being 1s, they don't share any real similarities to each other. Honestly I may just get 1 game royal and tongue swap it. I kinda want real frags down the line but it'll be a game day decision on pulling the trigger for 2 pairs. Either way, a ROYAL BLUE Chicago will be made.

Sidenote: See the difference?
