But I don't care. It's been a long time since I bought anything from FL.

So true.. Here in Portugal is the same thing. FL is full of ugly shoes that the thugs like to wear..

The rest of the shoes sits on the shells until I guess they go on sale or FL just send it back because they don't sell.

The only thing I buy from FL are some insoles. As for the sneakers, I prefer to buy them online. So much better.

Pics? I wanna see what a French thug looks like

Remember that a lot of the working class French are of North and West African descent. So these French "thugs" may not be white.

Well, I don't know what a French thug looks like. But here's a Portuguese thug wannabe!!

A little of-topic, I know. But I couldn't resist!!

Around here you can see some guys like the one in the pic. Wearing some ugly Air-Max and thinking they're really cool!

People just love to mock them..

True. It's like it's part of some uniform or something. No wonder the FLs are full of them for sale..

 

[luc1311]

Yep guys exactly... and for the origin of a lot of those guys, I don't care, Thug means that they are up to no good. That's it. No Matter what iscolor... I couldn't be a Jordan fan if I was a racist which was implied in a post earlier....

 

[dunkaroos]

3s are already yellowed

 

[crazy ebw]

True Blue's just chilling.

 

[pay jape]

i can get the jordans easy where im at... (london)
hit me up. im probabaly gonna get an extra pair of the 6's that are going to come out and sell them.

Europe is a joke with shoe pricing. At the Footlockers in Switzerland, AM90's that cost 90 in America cost 220-235

Then again when Levi's and WRANGLER jeans cost $150 what do you expect?

A large chunk of their unsold stock simply goes back to Nike, or ends up at Footlockers in the U.S.

Speaking of which, guess there all those CDP restocks came from, and where all those leftover Space Jams will be in a few months.

Thats how eastbay got a full restock of aquas and black/reds in the summer of '08

Thats how i got my aquas then i always thought that they had forgot a pair in the back

if they got some sales/resonable prices on the TBIII's and Space jam XI's pm me

 

[shortyoscart]

sorry double post

 

[teekay]

In Australia, everything costs double, AF1's $150, AM 95's $240, Jordans $220-300.

Air max's are the biggest seller here and I rock them (95's,90's, BW's etc) but Jay's are my fav but most people don't even know whatthey are. I could rock my true blues and no one look twice but if you had a pair of white/blue BW's you'd be fresh to death haha kinda sucks but hey Ibuy them/wear them for myself

 

[kobe4ever8]

Those true blues are what I really want!!!!

 

[teekay]

I went to my local footlocker first thing in the morning to cop the true blues & they sold out. Yet I know a local Nike store that still has an 11 & 13sitting there. my mate picked up a 10.5 from there 2 weeks ago too.
Unfortunately I wear 12's otherwise would of got another pair already still considering a 13??

 

[jau014]

insane prices over there.
and interesting stories too.
i hope the stocks in EU can be allocated to other countries. smh

I was at the biggest Footlocker in London the morning of the SJ release. Got there about 5 minutes before opening, queue of about 6 people in front of me.Store opened we all stayed in line and walked downstairs to House of Hoops where they brought the shoes out. Very easy going.

I've never seen a big queue for shoes in London although I'm not into shoes as much as I was say 8-9 years ago. There are shoes that are definitelylimited, I remember Collie27 picked up the Stussy Dunks (must have been 2000/2001) and there weren't many to go round. Only time I remember there beingtalk of a queue was when the Air Jordan 1 was retroed and Niketown London were rumoured to be getting the version in the briefcase. Don't think it everhappened though

Not sure how it is these days but you used to be able to get EVERY main Jordan eventually on the sales rack. I remember strolling into Footlocker years ago andpicking up the white/blue 6's and Space Jam's at more than half price. When the original 14's were out in 1999 all colourways eventually hit thesales rack.

There's still a fairly good size run for the Space Jam on NDC now.

£107 = $170 USD.

I'm going to pick up a pair of White/Red 12's but might hold out to see if they get reduced in price. Currently retailing at about $143

Around here was the same thing. It was easy to get most of the Jordan line ins the sales rack. Got some good deals like that. But that was in thetime where we could get a very wide variety of Jordans. Not so much these days.

£107 = 120€

Funny that the Euro retail price outside the UK is 175 €.. But it's no surprise that the prices in NDC UK are far more cheaper than the NDC EU when youconvert the price from pounds to euro.

In the last few years, Air Max Wrights and Air Max LTDs have become popular too.
JD sports play a large part in supplying those Chavs with their choice of footwear.

Considering the size of Amsterdam's population, i was surprised at how many sneaker shops there were... other than Footlocker.

Been there tried that... Doesn't work.

As soos as you put a country that isn't the UK for shipping the price changes to 179€ ( I wanted to send it to the netherlands )

What I wanted to do is buy up a few so I could help some peepz on NT out by selling then retail plus shipping.

But when i hit check out and it showed the euro price I canceled the order.

Then i would end up having to sell them at least $350 just to sell them for retail plus shipping and everyone can get them for much cheaper then that onebay.

To bad it didn't work out because I could have helped out a lot of people by getting them from the uk.
