what is up with that BUSTED-*** chrome strip on the toe? looks like they dipped into the Jumpman Showcase parts-bin for that one. jj

Yeah maybe I was a little harsh on UBiq. To give them some credit, they DO have the climacool runners for $65, which is pretty good. I'm trying to think of a word to describe their store. They have current in-line Nikes as well as older stock from 1998-2000. Which, around here anyway, is pretty...

all the worthwhile spots were already mentioned. the japanese buyers swarmed on the city like locusts in the mid 1990's and cleaned out all the good vintage stock. there's really nothing left at all. (ever wonder why you can still find original kid's aj7's?) jj

Screw the whole "Best Cheesesteak" debate. They barely give you any meat. I can cook one up on my own hibachi in the Vet parking lot and make it better than any of the stooges that work at those famous places. I'd rather have my hands on my food than somebody else's hands on my food. If you...

Somber Coeur has some good collector-based viewpoints. That story about Supreme is pretty bad. For a licensed retailer to do that is BS. Yes, they're rare shoes and all that, but that just sucks. It's because Nike CAN'T control distribution of Limited Edition items that D/H/S/P's and licensed...

Follow-up: As a former sneaker dealer/hustler/seller/pimp myself, I certainly do wish all the other sneaker d/h/s/p's good luck. It's pretty hard to do, and I think Nike is going to make it even harder to do. But we'll see. I didn't even consider that it might make it easier for collectors to...

Eric, Congratulations are in order. Getting an article and picture about yourself in the Wall Street Journal - on the front page no less - is very impressive, especially for a 16-year-old. However, though it is no fault of your own, I don't think you have any idea of what might happen as a...

While they might not be my favorites, but they are certainly the rarest things I've ever owned, and have a neat story behind them. Background: Nike made these for Shareef Abdur-Rahim to wear in the 2001 NBA All-Star Game. They were made 2-3 months ahead of time, in anticipation that he would...

How dare you call the Revolutions ugly. I'll call them ugly too. The quality is pretty putrid. Another "quality" remake. JJ http://www.Jersey-Joe.com For the FINEST sneakers in the world. Featuring Mitchell & Ness Jerseys. (authorized retailer)

Hova, Email me at sales@jersey-joe.com They're not available anywhere right now. I heard only 3 pairs exist. It just so happens that Wallace wears a 13, so if you're willing to part with a few thousand dollars, one of those 3 pairs might appear. >>>are you gonna be selling these? I doubt...

>>>why would they release an all-star edition in 2002 that says 2001? personally this doesn't make much sense to me. Because the only time he wore them was in the 2001 all-star game. >>>still, unknown to me, why are they releasing SHEEDS shoes in japan? Probably because the Air Force 1 is...

>>>>>My guess is that they left alot of the key elemnts of the 17's out on purpose. Not really. The shoe just evolved. Some things worked, some didn't. Some styling hints were kept, some weren't. >>>>>If I was making a shoe that would make my company a million plus dollars, I wouldn't...
