Houston TX NikeTalkers...

Hmm interesting. Might have to check them out in person today. Already planned on going up to premium goods today to grab a slab tee so I should see em there. If they too nice in hand I’m liable to buy them lol. Preciate the feedback.

Lmk if there's anything worth driving over there for. Was just talking to my boy yesterday about wanting to go slide through. Sucks everytime I've been recently I never see Jenn anymore, when pg first opened she was there all the time. Spent days just chilling in there with ither sneaker heads just killing the day away. Good times there...

Yea it’s been a while since I’ve been to PG. When I use to go, I use to see Jennifer all the time. Was nothing but nice to me.

PG isn’t what it used to be.

Not that that’s a bad thing.

How’d y’all do with L&F 1s in the city?

 

[dhtowng]

I did real bad .

Better Generation? Never heard of them. What side of town is that on?

Washington area. PJ tuckers new shop.

Legit release though. Short 20 min window to play a trivia game. Had to have known some history of Jordan so eliminated a good amount of resellers (never will eliminate them all) and people who bring tons of people out with them to secure pairs.

This sounds like a good time. I would've cleaned up here I think lol. Thanks for the run down. Had no idea PJ tucker had a new shop that actually does Nike/JB account releases. Wish I had known about that. Ended up going to PG on Friday afternoon. They were sold out of the SLAB Tee. Htown AF1s were definitely nice in person but didn't end up copping though. Took so many L's on L&Fs today that I'm at the crib sippin on whiskey jamming Mile's Davis records. I’m sick bro lol.

Had no intention of leaving the fam this morning but struck out everywhere. Made the decision to head out and test my luck. Out the door at 10:20AM and back at 11:30AM with the shoes.

Waited a bit in the cold/rain but scanned a QR. Waited for the trivia game, answered some questions, won the shoes, pick them up and on my way home.

That being said, we found out if we won within secs of the trivia game ending (trivia game was less then a minute) so no drawn out mess. Tons of people dipped right after (assuming they lost) but honestly was quick and easy. Legit way to do things.

Speaking of PG anyone ever hit on their raffles? Tough cause I usually don’t pick up unknown calls (work/spam/etc) and they don’t leave messages.

Locals besides PG have the AMM 4s? Or restocks on L&Fs?

Never hit a Premium Goods raffle personally.

I've been slipping... only spot ive hit was nike at city centre i was in the area and made a quick stop. If you don't know that's the spot to look for returns, the week after big releases it's super central to Houston and the manager seems to think they get 75/80% of the Houston retruns now. Katy used to be my spot for retruns. But i was impressed with all they had. Fr3s, desert elephant 3s, playoff 12s, a bunch of different 1s, women's retros.
My grams had been really sick for a while now and passed away earlier this month I was fortunate to get spend some good time with her, before. I just couldnt find time or motivation to hit the outlets lately. I'll probably start back up next week when I get my car back. I had a fuel delivery repair that took forever to diagnose it just wouldn't throw a code, but kept running out of gas on 3/4 full tank and leave me stranded. It was supposed to be done today, but it got pushed to next week now. A freind found the issue and is repairing for $300 so no complaints here. The first spot I took it wanted to replace the engine,(close to 5k) possibly the transmission (3k) they wouldn't know until they dropped it... They had no clue what to do, they were just throwing things at the wall to see what stuck. I was ready to just tell them keep it. It wasn't worth but about $8500 and I was looking at possibly 8k in repairs. I'll ask my freind at DSG tomorrow if he knows any timelines on the warehouse stuff. I Hadn't talked much since the NBA stuff dropped last month, scooped some Classic Edtion Rocksts swingman shorts early. He buys a lot so he watches and waits, its easy to do there with they're little handhelds employees carry. When I worked there seasonal, unloading trucks you can tell when things are about to go on sale. They start moving them on display, and it's seasonal also.
I'd bet we see some 2022 city connect jerseys and a mountain of city appearal stuff, and anything 2022 branded for astros. DSG has marked most of the WS stuff down 50% now. The Rockets recycled they're city jerseys, so i bet we dont see much of that stuff at the warehouses. Maybe some Jalen Green #0s, john wall, and Chreistian woods jerseys. I watched a Rockets city fitted at DSG hit $17.99, then back to $44.99 when it was announced the rockets weren't changing the city jerseys this year. Might be a lot of Texans stuff lmao, theyre buns and Houston fans just dont buy much when the teams dont win. Fair whether fans all over Houston. Im pretty certain nike made a lot of Correa jerseys before he left... id bet money on it even. Question is whered they end up...They normally start production a year or so earlier, so no reason not to make bunches of these.

A redditer put me on these at the marshalls on Westheimer by the Galleria I was too late obviously. Id bet employees and resellers probably wiped the stock immediately, when they hung them up. They were the $350 Authentics... for $19.99. I'm curious to see where they end up. Greinkes were floating around also.

***this was a few months back now*** not my pics.

thanks man. I figured that about the CC Nike store

All good though man. Hope the family is doing well through the tough times and glad the car situation is working out. Saw the details in the fitted thread but nothing can ever replace that time with family.
