Well, it pays to contact companies. After a few e-mails back & forth with PUMA I found out the colors for my speed cats are correct, which is what the paperwork said, so I believe them. BUT, they gave me a code for 50% off my next custom Pumas! I think I will go with the Baskets. Less then $50 for custom shoes? Yes please!

As for Kobe's shoes. I like these cause there the best low cut basketball shoe still and since I play soccer as well, then this is just a no brainer for me. And once again I got screwed (fuckn hate this new system Nike and these other stores are doing), but I'm waiting on a friend to come through and just sell me his Grapes cause he didn't get his size.

There is always a way to make it all white. Along with sneakers, I also have a collection of Sneaker Freaker magazine and there is an article about SEKURE D's Guide to Customizing Sneakers and a way to remove the color on the leather is with a paint thinner, acetone. Search in their site for that DIY if you're up for the challenge and couldn't find the color-way you want.

After seeing the Fire Reds in person, I knew the grapes would end up the same way. I wasn't that excited as I used to be for Jordan retros even though this was a sort after colorway. What sucks even more are you young cats who want to get a pair or J's are lead to believe that a heavy, stiff and not comfortable shoe is what Jordans are about. I wouldn't even call the retros from 2003 till now C grade J's. They totally skimped out on the material yet kept the price the same since it looks exactly like it originals. My metallic V's have creases like bent cardboard, and creak like a mofo. It's sad!! Even though I was in 6th grade when the OG V's came out, I barely wore mine b/c those who ended up wearing them to school will either get jumped for them after school or get stolen during PE. Those who didn't want to walk home barefooted and bruised, never got to wear them which started the dead stock collecting.

I always liked Jordans but couldn't afford it back in the 90s. Now that I'm working, I'm making up for lost time. But I wear them and not collect except the jordan 23s (last numbered jordan). It's the only one I never worn.
How are you guys getting these shoes? Example the grapes were only online. I went online at 5am pst and couldn't get them. Same when the aj xi breeds came out last month. I just got lucky with the x12 in that dark blue. I just want to own a iv and a v and I'll be happy. Tap'd via G-Note2...

It's so hard to get them, it's ridiculous. Unfortunately a ton of IVs came out within the last year, so you missed out on a lot of them, but there's still a few coming out within the next 6 months. There's going to be at least one V coming out this summer too. You basically just have to be online the second it's released, and follow the nike store on twitter. They post a link at 8 AM EST, and you have to be logged in on nike.com to get your best chances. The grapes were released in stores, but a lot of stores are doing raffles or twitter RSVP, so they aren't normally out on the showroom floor. But you have a chance to get some of the past releases, I think Footaction is re releasing some Jordans on the 25th. |

Yeah I hate how prices keep getting jacked up by JB. Quality can be found if you're not going to beat the **** out of them or just look to only get special editions. So yeah I feel you guys on how disappointing when the quality isn't on point. And if that's not enough, then there's a time when none us didn't get the shoe we wanted initially, then damn resellers get them and jack up the price even further. This is why I'm glad I got most of the shoes I wanted before it gets even more out of hand.
Oh and check out these dope customs.

Speaking of color, I can't decide on the color of the shoe laces. What do you guys think? |
