any size 9 heads in here hit me up, i have a lot i plan to be moving, all DS

 

[trentbg]

Letting all the FILA fly huh?

 

[skep]

nah definitely not all of it. keeping most/all of my 96s, and one of each stack probably. but spares and other models like spaghetti, 95, kj7, and overpass along with others

It's a long shot but looking for Mikey M- squad

 

[skep]

nah i passed on those unfortunately

 

[kevin15776]

I guess thats the new strategy. 

as suspected, they didnt sell out after all lol

How's the sizing on the Bubbles? True to size? Other Filas have been a bit small to me. Any suggestions?

 

[swaynomics930]

nah i passed on those unfortunately

I had to ask lol

 

[skep]

i dont own bubbles

 

[kevin15776]

Just got a pair of Bubbles. I love them!! I suggest going up half a size.

walked into my local Ross tday and saw the black stack2s for $25, I almost bought them but I want the grey suedes, the best part is that it was my size and I finally got to try them on and verify the size I need, I'm actually happy with fila today

I would say Purple Tapes, but they didn't release .

nah, spaghettis are garbo IMHO, stack2s were leagues above them, and best cw is either tobacco road 96(and I'm not a fan of blue

) or the bait 96s

 

[redrum3281]

quick question, did anybody pick up the Bait 96s bcuz I see they don't go for much, so I'm wondering how the quality is on them and if they're worth the $85-100 that I see on eBay

 

 

[trentbg]

The only pairs I regret not getting was the Tobacco road pairs.

 

[phil32]

The only pairs I regret not getting was the Tobacco road pairs.

Agreed. They were nice shoes.

And on the Stack 2, they would've been a lot nicer with a more accurate retro (much like we seem to say with a number of Fila's retros, particularly basketball ones).

i have em, cant say i really inspected them but from what i recall they were very nice. well worth it IMO. i paid $65 while bait had em on sale

 

[skep]

[trentbg]

Wow far, Bait must be really mad.

 

[TURBO UNO]

It feels like Bait is stretching themselves thin when it comes to identity and it affects their marketing. They have the toy thing going, the clothing and sneakers all at once. I imagine it can get pretty exhausting + expensive to push out product and hit an audience.
