    I've always liked the 6s (own Oreos and Carmine reds) but that hot pink/light red of the Infrareds, I never was a fan of that. Just make em varsity red/black, that'd be 100x better imo. Also, I know this statement is sacrilege but I actually prefer the Jumpman on the back over the Nike Air on any Jordan. That's kinda why I was disappointed to hear that the black cement 4s were going back to the Nike Air on the back. I'll still try to get em though.

    you are correct about that statement being sacrilege ;)  if the original had Nike air on it, i want Nike on it. i already have the bred IV’s with the jumpman can’t wait for the Nike Air pair.

    If I already had a pair of bred 4s then I can see how I may want a pair with the Nike Air on the back, unfortunately I missed out on those the last time (have Toro Bravo and Motorsport 4s) so I was pumped to hear that they'd be dropping again this year. I just think the Jumpman is a much cleaner look than the Nike Air but I can understand how people would want an og release of them.

    I wish there was some place, a storefront or an online store that people could straight up trade shoes on. Like, let's say, you want Bred 4s with the Nike Air but you miss out on getting a pair in your size. I was able to snag a pair but I want the older release with the Jumpman. If both shoes were still in new condition, I could bring mine into the store and we'd do a straight swap. For me, I'd kill for a fresh new pair of Oreo 6s but they weren't very popular back in the day, my girlfriend got me a pair on clearance on Eastbay for under a hundred bucks. Back when Jordans actually got a good clearance not going from 190 to 160 like they do now. That colorway probably won't see the light for a long time but maybe I have an extra pair of Cool Grey 11s that I never wore and you want em bad and have the unwore Oreo 6 in my size, straight up swap. That'd be kinda cool if that were a thing imo.

    I bit on them today. Theres another promo code out there (SAVE20) for 20% any clearance. Only a few bucks less but meh I would rather get them for a nice discount in my size before they are gone.

    I think we need to make a good, old fashioned, NikeTalk style "What did you wear" thread. Or at least add it to this thread. Today was casual Friday, so I brought these out from the shoe room. Hadn't worn them in almost a year, but they are comfortable and snug on my feet without being too tight.

    I picked up two of the Kobe Protro 2006 All-star from the Nike outlet in Vegas last week. Shockingly, they had size 14's AND they were in the 20% off section.

    Honestly, I'm not sure. They didn't feel any different when I tried them on, and they didn't feel like memory foam or anything similar.

    put in my first bid at stockx this morning and it was accepted in about 20 mins :eek: 

    got space jam 11s finally, only $20 over retail.

    someone must have been wanting to move those bigfoot 16s :)  I think the closest offer was 275

    Finally scooped this classic today
    [​IMG]

    There was a random re-stock Wednesday at the Nike store, still had em (in my size) Saturday evening.
    I know prices are still quite low on StockX, but I would’ve certainly been hit with duties shipping to Canada

    Great topic.

    Got my hands on a pair of Infrared 6s last month. Sold out in no time in Australia. Now to get the Bred 4s later this year.

    I wish that were true for Australia. But alas, no. Especially my size US8 (9 if I wear thick socks).

    stockx verified my space jams and should be getting them tomorrow. 2 day ups priority not bad.

    with those and my infrared 6s I think Im set on sneakers until some og 7 colorways come along.

    my 2011 bordeux are just starting to come apart in a couple spots and would be nice to get some new 7s.

    Another Friday, another WDYWT post. Though my pic from last week got ignored I am hoping to start a trend to get everyone to show their heat (or beaters) they are wearing today. With that in mind, here ya go. Broke out my 2005 Fire Red Laser IVs.

    I hope to contribute in the summer. For right now Ive been beating the shit out of my winterized 12s daily since I got them early dec. We are just coming out of brutal chicago winter and they survived with a couple battle scars.

    Dirty as shit right now too but they will clean up like a million bucks when i get a chance to wipe them down.
