The most interesting aspect is the packaging, which now mimics G1 toy boxes! Pictured are the Soundwave and Bumblebee models.

If I bought a pair of those Soundwave shoes, I don't know if I'd be willing to wear them considering the cost. Of course, I have yet to find a pair of Nikes that actually fit me properly, so the point may be moot.
Still, looks really cool. | Oh. Pass for me then. The boxes are really cool though.

The six sealed would go on ebay so I could buy even more TF crap, like Butticus, Defecator and Craputron.
tjmd:
If I can find these, I will buy them. I hope Nike.Com has them... I need some new kicks.
The_Black_Sheep:
I couldn't care less about the actual shoes but the packaging is Sweet!!! BHiga6181:
Sorry for those not close to a House of Hoops store. These are coming out VERY soon and will be VERY limited. My buddy works at a HoH and has given me the details on these.
All I am going to say is I will have these in hand very soon.
Cant wait.
Yes they are adult shoes/sizes. Only avail. in store at HoH. Not on Nike.com.

robvega214:
these should come with an action figure..
.kinda like the Voltron reebok sneekers did....
Waverider:
If these are shoes limited, I bet you can get a Fort Max on ebay for the same price that House of Hoops is charging.

But hey, to each his/her own.
unicron's blues:
I'd buy a pair if they were reasonably priced and not impossible to track down, I mean why make them so limited if theres enough people wanting to buy them?
The621:
What's next? They're going to make them TRANSFORM?
YeOldeRatchet:
I'd love a pair. I have all kinds of crazy Chuck's, but these will be impossible to get. I mean why limited edition shoes?
KupDidntCThis:
i dont wear nike
maybe i will

Pass on the shoes. That that impressed with the shoe design. Probably to expensive for me to afford anyways.
The packaging, however, is phenomenal!
joebot.:
I have been collecting shoes for around 6 years now. I don't like the base shoes so I will be passing on these. The boxes are cool though. Lately I've been more into vintage and boots.

The link to the main story page of this thread at the main page doesn't work.
Took ages to load a mere blank, white page.
Had to hammer the "discuss" link to see the story here instead.
CANNABIS PRIME:
pic of all 3... atlianz:
They should of actually used the retros these fusions were based off of.....
giga-galvatron:
Yea these will be IMPOSSIBLE to get. They will be House of Hoops exclusive only, very limited pair. The last House of Hoops exclusive was only 600 pairs and 1500 people showed up. And they will be release July 10th a gotdamn friday, a day before i get paid. The Bumblebees will be $100, the Soundwaves will be $100 and Megatron will be $125. Good luck guys>
Deefuzz:
HoH release...Doubt any of us will be able to snag these unfortunately.
marshall dusty:
my friend picked these up today since i was working. FuRiOus_StyLZe: Quote:

As much as I want these....I know I'll never get my hands on a pair.
marshall dusty:
apparently there were people last night waiting in line, HOH gave out tickets to the folks in line so they could show up today this morning. i didnt realize they were giving out tickets so this morning i was like FUCK. but my friend was around there and there were about 30 people in line waiting....someone who may have been an employee was second in line was offering her ticket, second in line, for 50 bucks! crazy people. anyway my buddy managed to get some and when he left there weren't that much left. another friend from the illinois sightings thread managed to get there at about 1230 and snagged a pair, they had very very few left, handful or something.
what sucks though is that a third of these folks probably will end up putting them on ebay. there are listings for 300 each, or 900 for the set free shipping.
a fellow board member drove from springfield ill to chicago last night to get in line! that's a 2 hour drive. hopefully these ebay prices go down and you guys can experience these. i'll be keeping them misb i think. i dont plan on wearing them.
BB.206:
These should have been a NikeTown exclusive -- that way more people would have had a chance to get them. With only 3 HOHs in the country...not many fans will be able to get them at a decent price.

Have you ever stood in line at the one downtown? I did it once a few years ago...never again. hehe

marshall dusty:
thanks for the props, been working overtime so they kinda paid for themselves! it sucks that there are only 3 HOH's in the states. i didnt even know we had one! the mall that HOH is located is about 5 miles from me. 15 minute drive with some traffic on a busy main street. my buddy told me about shoes showing up and i was like whoa really? i thought they only existed in the east and west coast. apparently this HOH store opened less than a year ago.
my buddy who works overnight waited in line for me for at least an hour at about 9 am.
I wish they had more stock, i'd help out any of you in purchasing one. i'd only charge cost plus shipping fees. you think they'll restock?
bouncing boy77:
^^^ nah, its most unlikely that there will be a restock, especially on HOH-only releases. congrats on getting them! shoe collecting sucks nowadays coz most of the people buying exclusive releases are only in it for the purpose of reselling. props to those who really buy to collect.
Mobb One:
there's a soundwave pair at my HoH and i'd totally wear them i like the style. the price isn't bad ($100) however the only size they had left was 15

bouncing boy77:
^^^ cant go wrong with those g1-styled packaging, congrats coz you were able to get them for retail!
i've seen people across other boards posting having bought stacks of them just to resell.
