Snagged a pair on FTA just now. Debating whether or not I pickup this pair in store at FTL. If these are anything like the Fire Reds I’m gonna need 3 or 4 pairs to find one good pair lmao.

These are going for about $215 in my size. on eBay.

After seller’s fees, you’re left with what...about 10 bucks?

...what the hell is the point?

At this point we gotta assume these are store managers or someone plugged buying them at retail or even less than and moving like 50/100 pairs at a time.

that’s the only way it would even slightly make sense

Credit card rewards and maintaining status with sneaker retailers are 2 reasons folks resell when they seemingly don’t make much off the actual sale. Do it enough and those rewards/points stack up quick. Also, no fees for sneakers over $100 on eBay.

I don’t see the point either, btw.

This reminds me of 2013-2014 when ppl would buy up damn near ALL GRs to try and flip on eBay or Craigslist for these kinds of quick-flip profit margins on many releases.. It’s hilarious to me because, 2 years ago, this release would’ve hit discount. Funny how we’ve come back full circle lol

Can't bring up the code on the FLX app cause the app is buggin. Anyone know if we can pick up without having to show the barcode?

I’ve done it, they allowed it due to the buggyness of the app

Went to the Nike Store today and surprisingly they had these in my size.

I think they look great on feet and I actually like the mesh material.

But i’ve been trying really hard to stop buying shoes that I don’t think i’m going to wear that much. I have too many shoes that barely get worn as it is. I’m really proud of myself for resisting the temptation.

It’s a big step for me in my quest to avoid filing for bankruptcy.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

I had these in my cart, the gauze held me back.

Buy the shoes then file for bankruptcy
You only live once baby!

Swap the laces in the car, swap ‘em on the toilet. It’s all Poetic Justice. Can’t wait to see my first pair of shattered backboards! Fire!

Anywhere still have these in sz 10?

 

[Iceman92]

Sleeper colorway in my opinion besides the material on the ankle collar these are solid in my opinion

They come with those laces?

 

[Ruckuss]

No, I have a big box of laces.

 

[shayes7]

Took a shot to see if my local had them and yep. Definitely much better in person and unique to me and being a Bears fan, they’ll do well.

Don’t like his custom. Defeats the purpose of the color and sneaker.

Just when you thought this release couldn’t get any worse, the internet remains undefeated lol
