Cheap Saikou. Extra 10% off with code LP-10. That would drop them down to about $215 USD.

My first bad buying experience on stockx. Bought some AW runs I’ve been eying. Box, and shoes smell like a carton of Newport’s and the bottoms appear dirty and cleaned off. No way these were deadstock....ugh

Makes me wonder as GOAT/StockX grows more and more, how many 'experts' truly they have. Unless they constantly do workshops to determine legitimacy of said shoe.

To relate to you issue, it would seem like they are getting so busy they are letting some shoes slip through the cracks. Quite possibly, the dude authenticating your shoes is a smoker and couldn't differentiate his own smell from the shoes.

And then sometimes you hear stories about some seller who has their shoes sent back to them because there's a speckle of dust on the outsole.

I buy my shoes on Goat, not StockX. Their quality check is generally better than StockX. I rather pay $10 more than having to deal with StockX stories. Im sure StockX will resolve ur complaints most of the time but i rather not deal with it.

How do those go thru but my jordan 4s that have been DS since 2006 with a couple of small creases from sitting awkwardly in the box get rejected...

 

[kobe824]

any seller protection on mercari?

I believe so, they act as a mediator if a buyer opens one up on you, the seller pays shipping always (unless you set it to free yourself) and they take 10% which is pretty solid (to me anyways), plus buyers can't super lowball you, they gotta meet 70% of the asking price so it's more seller friendly also. Haven't had a bad experience after my first few listings that have been sold.

Im one of the few that dont like the Og’s at all. My OGs will always be the burgundy

Those look super comfy

 

[drisk34]

I like the slides and shorts more

 

[freakydestroyer]

So are the Boost Slides still happening?

 

[nylon]

Easy pass on that Energyboost. Solebox x Packer still much better in concept (lol) / back story. Don't want another repeat of the same base model since it doesn't get much wear.

Now those slides tho...

Meanwhile YM leaked some possible Bape collab in 2 possible colorways.

 

[TheGodFresco]

I mentioned the Bape collab a few days ago, the shoe that I saw (likely a sample) is a little different than mocks but more or less the same idea

looks more like a Wimbledon Collab. That robe material is a nice touch in the ankle area. Could get hot tho in the Summer.

 

[jpac]

I think Adidas should go all-in and go multiple silo like the Off white collection with BAPE stuff.

BAPE UB, EQT, i5923, NMD, and lower tier silos; I just don't see how Adidas can bring the momentum back to the #boostislife unless they got multiple new boost silos they working on.

Adidas x Bape tracksuit

Adidas x Bape tracksuit

I have a feeling they've done that before in the past. But they need to emulate that formula because collabs or 'Special Edition' seems to be generating the hype.

I'm sure GR NMDs and UBs are doing just fine with the general public since I see those a lot more in the wild than last year.

But they already put themselves on a pedestal since Boost is what everyone compares the next 'big thing' in comfort to now.

 

[drisk34]

not a full track suit, but they did a track jacket. puffy jacket as well.

Probably have but this combo can't possibly go wrong. Still waiting for Adidas x Drake x Stone Island. Not a fan of the latter two btw,

I'd mess with an Adidas x OVO collab no doubt. Scorpion was actually pretty decent. But supposedly he hasn't been wearing much Adidas lately after that Pusha T beef.

 

[Liquid Swords]

Parly UB's got delivered the other day and had second thoughts about keeping them. I'm already thinking they'd get minimal wears but $100 was a great price

Same. The white sole is the killer.

Feeling this version more.

Y'all think those Mita NMD will be possible to cop under retail or these gonna be an instant sell out?
