    [​IMG] Anybody see the new Jordan XXXIIs? I stopped collecting after XXIII, but there is something about the fact that it clearly pays homage to the II (The design cues are really obvious) that attracts me to it. I think if they did a white version, with the red and black outline on the heel counter area, like the original II colorway, I would definitely pick them up. Thoughts?

    The Jordan II is one of my least favorite designs so i don't like them, but i think they look better than the XXX and XXXI's did

    Not a fan of IIs either so these are whack to me. TBH the 29s weren't bad and XXXIs were solid as well, taking inspiration from the Is. Does that mean the 33s will be inspired by the 3s, 34s by 4s and so on? Hmmm...

    I was looking at a review yesterday of the Nike Adapt self lacing shoes. They look neat but not $720 neat to me. What are you guys thoughts on them?

    A local consignment store had a pair and sold it for $500 which makes me very weary about it since the MSRP is $720.

    I'd say Carmine 6s but I'm kinda partial to those. Did those get a reissue that I wasn't aware of? What is Flight Club LA? IMG_20150204_125717327.jpg

    Flight Club is the most popular consignment store. One in LA and NYC plus the online store. Basically they have every retro, yeezy and even air mags.

    They said later models will be cheaper. But they're never gonna be cheap in the absolute sense. Supposedly the Hyperadapt 2.0 will be a basketball shoe.

    Last release was 2014 iirc.

    Yeah, those are the 6s that I have, didn't think they'd had a newer release. I rarely wear my 6 Carmine red though, very hard red to match unless it's a Jordan shirt.

    Went to the Nike outlet in Nevada and found royal purple Air Jordan 1 High's for $20!!! I was STOKED!!! At first, I thought the price on the box was wrong, so I had to ask an associate to confirm. Now, I have kicks to match my Lakers gear! I swear, this place is a gold mine for J's. Every time I go, I get some crazy deals on J's.

    You guys remember these? Picked these up for my son. They'll be his new basketball shoes for this season, probably shoulda got the black/white but I thought these would match his jersey. Air Shake Ndestrukt (Dennis Rodman's). I had heard somewhere that Rodman was lazy when it came to putting his shoes on so they put the laces on the side so he could sit in a chair and put his foot up and lace them. We'll see how they work for him for the season.
