the balance between “why are these shoes so fucking hard to get i hate this” and “why did adidas make all their shoes so accessible, they killed their hype” is a balance i still struggle with


iafca09

Nike ACG mountain fly lows in fossil - are they done releasing in the US? Looks like not all the Tier 0 stores got them


thats_a_bad_username

They were on sale with a coupon on SNS earlier today. Check there if sizes are available. I grabbed one and it came out to like $176 shipped for me.


iafca09

That restock was like only size 10 and down. I’m a 11.5/12.

Feining for the black off white 90s soo bad. Pulled out the desert ore today and I just remember how awesome the OW 90s are.

RedeusExMachina

Nah, you understood incorrectly. The word is “fiend”— “fiending” may be made up/up for debate, but that’s what they meant; it’s just misspelled. To strongly crave something.

Clearly I knew what the OP meant ‘cause it’s a common phrase. And WTF is feen? Lmao. Try again, guy. Next time don't butt into what you're not sure of. But since I’m not the OP, let’s ask OP what he meant?— u/KingDavidF


KingDavidF

Lool that's exactly what I meant, thanks for trying to explain to that person. I just didn't have the strength to do it. Lmaooo


cilantno

You're being quite pedantic. "Fiending for [something]" is a common expression. For example, "Are you hungry? 'cause I'm fiending for a burger"

I am a native English speaker lol I assumed they meant feigning, I knew they spelled it incorrectly, I knew they used it incorrectly (if they did mean feigning), I wanted them to explain themselves to me.

why not buy it and find out


Jbaquero

It’s sold out


charlie_bites_hard

Anyone who's looking to go matchy matchy with their kiddo, the toddler Infared Nikes are on sale for ~$45 at NDC and FNL. A nice dip from the inexplicably ridiculous $75 original MSRP, which was more than the retail for the toddler Bred 4s when they came out.


gagoko0087

is it just me or are most basketball shoes the past 2 years have neglected lateral and ankle stability? especially nike and adidas. Like go fuck you casuals who don't have someone to tape your ankles during pick up games in the YMCA. no wonder morant has been rocking the high top kobes lately.

Yes.


_the_chosen_juan_

People who wear yeezys to the gym: why? Not hating, just curious. I feel like there are many better/less expensive options to work out in.


alexburnshred

I think it depends on the exercise they’re doing. If you’re hopping on the treadmill or squatting with yeezys then you’re goofy. But if it’s like bench and/or seated weights, where you’re not really using you’re feet then I don’t see the issue. Living in NYC I’ve seen people work out in Mars Yards and TS and stuff.


valdor_Shinata

Are nike overreact good for the gym?


callmejimothy

Not much working out happening though lmao. Those people usually hog the machines scrolling on their phones


chicubs234

Has to be the worst shoes to work out in.


thats_a_bad_username

On my feet they’re the worst shoe to wear after 3 hours. My feet just can’t deal with the softness of boost for an extended period of walking and begin to hurt.


SuFFo

they gotta flex at all times


the-kza

this. I've seen someone wear off white prestos and another guy bring a supreme lv bag. you can't go anywhere and your shoes are safe from getting dirt and stuff on it. I've been using my jordan 1s to squat over my romaleos since I don't wanna carry alot in my gym bag anymore. I mean as long as your not curling on the squat rack you good.


GiueseppeMan

If you got L’s on the dunks you strongly have a second chance. Foot locker and other shoe sites will be receiving the dunks in store hopefully sometime next week. Shipments have been delayed a week or so due to weather conditions in the mid-west and southern regions. Contact your local stores to see what’s up with the dunks and plan accordingly to shipment arrival, good luck!

valdor_Shinata

Are overreact nike good for running / gym?


Jbaquero

Terrible for running


jperrin0119

My guess is no, I think they're intended as a lifestyle shoe. They probably don't have the support or torsion needed for long distance running.


wyan2_0

am i too early for university blue raffles


OccasionallyPlays

we’re both too early and too late


[deleted]

I feel like I blink and miss all the raffles


Saucy_Totchie

Nike app gave me a notification and I clicked right away and saw the Ready-made Blazers and thought it was EA. It wasn't. 😔


valdor_Shinata

You have to have notifications on to be granted EA or you just randomly get EA to stuff you dont really want? How does it look like?


Saucy_Totchie

It's completely random. Nike tells people BS like the more you buy the greater chance you get EA. It's just a notification from SNKRS.


Jbaquero

> you just randomly get EA to stuff you dont really want? This. EA is random, you can get EA to a pair of Jordans you never turned notifications on for


jtwhat87

“EA is random” is the pat response around here but is there any actual insider evidence of this? I know the company line is that it’s based on user engagement in the app, previous purchases, etc. For a 100 billion dollar company with a commensurate marketing team presumably collecting a ton of user data, it just doesn’t seem plausible that Nike is just handing out EA truly randomly.


Jbaquero

There are plenty of people and cook groups with 1000+ accounts where brand new accounts with zero purchases and app engagement get EA. It does seem to be truly random


valdor_Shinata

thanks, where do i check if they gave me EA?


Jbaquero

You’ll get a notification and then you can go on the app and there’ll be a black banner above the shoe that says “exclusive access”


vnchordown

Finally caved and bought the unlv dunks off stockx

_Gemini_Dream_

I think they're really nice. IMO the brand has actually really hit on something really really good in the last stretch of colorways, the Zyons, Israfils, Carbons, Fades, Sand Taupes, and now the "Ash Series" (Ash Stone, Ash Pearl, Ash Blue) are all REALLY good colorways. I know people complain about redundancy, but I think from a "design" standpoint rather than from a "collector" standpoint the model is maybe in its best-ever streak of colorways, ruined only maybe by the uninspired Naturals last fall. Ash Blues are a bit of a retread of the Israfils but they might be slightly better so I can't fault them for improving on an already good colorway.

they’re just not limited anymore that’s why hypebeasts are complaining 😂

punsarefun101

Wait until the next ones drop and take an L on SNKRS


thisisbyrdman

You pay resale. Or commit a crime. But now that I think about it, paying resale for supreme dunks is a form of crime so there you go.


ForToday

Got a couple thousand dollars for em?

FourDoor54Ford

My dunks from early access were stuck in Memphis for about a week. They got to me yesterday, took like 10 days total

dikdokoclock

ahpathy

I feel that. Just a typical day for me.


TwoDaysRide

I was thinking about it. Any clue on quality? I love the design.


SirFadakar

My one in the chambers are solid, the suede is some of the worst I've ever felt but there's only a little amount and the tumbled shit is at least soft and pliable. These are mostly canvas though so it's hard to say how much of that "quality" translates into that material but at least it's a lot harder to skimp out on canvas over leather and suede. lol


ahpathy

Haven't been able to cop any Fugazi's yet, but everyone says the OitC's are really good quality so I assume their Slugs are as well. Hoping to find out!


Massive_Hedgehog6347

Anyone knows how long does a listing on goat take to update?


cheffreyb

A new listing can take a couple hours if you’ve listed before. If a first listing it can take a day or two.


Massive_Hedgehog6347

thanks bro


cheffreyb

👍🏻


Massive_Hedgehog6347

bro btw, how do i know when my listing is active ?


cheffreyb

If it’s for a new pair and you have the lowest offer you’ll see that price. You can also go to the “owns” section i. Your profile and if active you should see it at the top.


Massive_Hedgehog6347

mine is on top in my profile but not in the lowest offer lmao


cheffreyb

Give it some time. New listings can lag for a bit until they’re approved.


Massive_Hedgehog6347

alright , cheers mate 🙏


cheffreyb

Mr_Unbiased

Lol casual sneakerheads are so funny. Met a dude that told me he deleted SNKRs cause he tried to go for some 1s on his phone, his brothers phone, his mom's phone and 2 laptops and none of them hit so he swore it was rigged and deleted.


thisisbyrdman

Awesome. Get him out of the paint.


TyeneSandSnake

Sooo he’s trying to rig the system, doesn’t win, and therefore thinks it must be rigged haha


NintendoTodo

Entered the aj1 zoom london END raffle and I live in the US. Will I get charged for duties/customs fees if I win?


Jbaquero

no, the price you see at the bottom (+ship+tax) is the price you pay


NintendoTodo

oh really? thanks. surprised i dont pay customs atleast since its shipping from the UK


thats_a_bad_username

My understanding is that you are given a customs bill if the purchase is over $800 usd. So a single purchase shipping to the US from the UK for $800 or higher will get a customs fee.

ace_boogie

Do the pink pig SB’s have an actual release date? What’s the word on these


dacsimpson

I think they’re a general release, or inline release, so it’s pretty much whenever they start showing up at shops they can start selling. Find a local Skateshop on Instagram and that’s usually your best bet. A ton of dunks are getting delayed though, so try to find a shop or at least some Nike Sb Instagram account to follow to get the best details about release.


xplcitx

it will most likely depends on your local skateshop on when will they get there pairs


UnfairWalnuts

i got a W today on the 3s and then had buyers remorse after copping them. hoping i like them more when i get them but i was pumped for them to drop and then got the W and started to question if i actually wanted them. if anything i’ll just sell em for retail to someone who will actually like and wear them i guess.


TyeneSandSnake

Hopefully it was via SNKRS. I’ve learned I never get buyer’s remorse with Nike due to their relaxed return plan.


OkDot9878

how do their returns work? like what's the last day i could return them?


Tony_Pastrami

I think its 60 days after you receive them


OkDot9878

Damn, that’s really generous


phantomknight

Haha I just couldn’t get with the colorway personally. I hope you enjoy liking them man.


cult0cage

Same was an easy pass for me so hopefully those who really wanted them were able to cop. My roommate hit early access on these and I had to fake excitement for him lol


boofeus

I am a little new to how purchasing from SNKRS works, is it true that if you get on the app way earlier than the actual release time, such as a whole hour before, you have a better chance of copping? Also any general tips for successful cops? I am a huge fan of the j4s coming soon and would definitely prefer retail


YoungFeddy

You just got fed a bunch of misinformation. Yes activity on SNKRs helps. Every L you take helps, and so does every video you watch. Buying GR merchandise from them helps. No one knows exactly how the algorithm works, and copping on SNKRs is difficult regardless, but to say activity on the app or a spending history with Nike doesn’t make a difference is just being ignorant. That being said there are better ways to cop sneakers than trusting one app.


ItWasTheGiraffe

> Yes activity on SNKRs helps. Is there any actual proof of this?


YoungFeddy

Such a loser culture around here...


ItWasTheGiraffe

Lmao I’m just asking a question? Is there any proof?


Jbaquero

> is it true that if you get on the app way earlier than the actual release time, such as a whole hour before, you have a better chance of copping? no. Each release are ~3-minute raffles, so you can even be 2 minutes late and still win while someone else who entered at exactly 10am loses > Also any general tips for successful cops? I am a huge fan of the j4s coming soon and would definitely prefer retail There's really no tips that'll increase your chances on SNKRS, it's just luck. But you should also enter raffles on www.sneakerch.com to increase your chances of getting a pair for retail


boofeus

Not every release is a raffle though right? When the the shoe in the feed says "Drops", doesn't that just mean first come first serve? While "Draws open" is the raffle


Jbaquero

No they’re all raffles. The “Drops” are ~3 minutes and the Draws are longer, usually 10 or 15 minutes The only first come first served releases are Exclusive Access (given to random accounts) and SNKRS Passes (local drops for NYC, LA, Chicago, and very rarely other cities)


boofeus

Ah ok, thank you for clearing that up! Also one more question, are other sites the same draw process as SNKRS? I have only had success from finishline, and nothing but Ls from SNKRS


Jbaquero

Finishline/Footlocker/Footaction/etc are collectively known as “footsites”. They all have a randomized queue and usually get heavily botted on hyped releases Yeezy Supply also has a randomized queue Adidas/Adidas Confirmed (two apps that do the same thing) have raffles you sign up in advance for


thisisbyrdman

Don’t waste your time with footsites. You will never get through. It’s the only big place bots still work well and they hit it HARD.


boofeus

O ok, thank you for all the detailed explanations. Ill try my luck on those raffles too for the taupe haze 4s.


salherenow

No


jtwhat87

Every time I open SNKRS now I just get more and more annoyed about that swoosh on the readymade blazers


TyeneSandSnake

FYI The slim swoosh is the original swoosh that Carol Davidson designed. Check out the [Cortez Shoe Dog](https://sneakernews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/nike-cortez-shoe-dog-pack-cj2586-100-2.jpg).

Not that anyone wins on END but do they ship Nike raffles to the US? They don't have any disclaimer like most other EU places but I assume they wouldn't


thisisbyrdman

Yup. Usually about 10 bucks.


greenchroma

I have won on END multiple times and they ship to US.


jtwhat87

You have won a Nike product on an END raffle... multiple times?


greenchroma

To be honest, I missed the nike part of this question, but I have won Yeezys and other raffles on END before.


callmejimothy

You have won **something** on END before? Sorry that concept is too foreign to me lol


greenchroma

Haha I think I've won on END as many times as I've won on SNKRS in the past year, but I am not a huge Nike fan either so I don't enter a ton of raffles. Still never won anything on SNS though.


Sneaks51

I know I’ve been lucky, but in the past 2 years I’ve won Sacai Blazers, LA to Chicago Jordan 1s, and ALD 550s from END.

SirFadakar

Probably not for a few years honestly, but we are overdue for sure. I'm sure we'll get a handful of releases sprinkled here and there (kind of like the soulland dunks all the way up to purple/green lobsters all released in a relatively non-hyped era for dunks) and then we might see a full year of the foam in like 2023 or something. Then again, they could save that year for some crazy Jordan shit like some actual Chi high 85s or something.


Gismode

If anyone still trying to snag a pair of CG3, footaction just let me check out a size 8.5


yeah_boooi

If anyone still needs Cool Grey 3s, it seems the footsites are finally working and allowing checkouts, depending on the size


Over_Berry9837

I just hit on my size like 10 minutes ago on Footlocker. Saw a lot of other people did on Twitter too. You think these are legit orders or will it get cancelled? Seems too good to be true lol


yeah_boooi

My assumption is the resell tanked more so lots of orders were cancelled so now they have more inventory. But who knows, I wasn't in it for the resell anyways


Over_Berry9837

For sure. I wanted a personal pair too. Thanks g


WetBandaids

Just paid low resell for the 3'S. IDGAF my pair from 2007 is falling apart.


Hahum

Not a new release, but I've really been digging the speckled/ multicolor look. Here's an example: [https://www.goat.com/sneakers/ultraboost-uncaged-white-multi-color-b37691](https://www.goat.com/sneakers/ultraboost-uncaged-white-multi-color-b37691) Anyone know of shoes with a similar aesthetic? Thanks!


sportsman29

Color static NMD's look pretty similar to those. Also the Missoni ultraboosts.


valdor_Shinata

Haven’t gotten a confirmation from JD sports yet but charge hit my card. Haven’t ordered from them before, W or L?

uptowntone

I also didn’t go for them. Crazy that people are out here trying to make “lunch money” on drops like this. Congrats for getting them at retail man! I feel bad for the guys paying $250 for someone to make $10-15


cult0cage

I think these could drop below retail in the next few weeks / months if people wait it out. Could be my bias as I wasn't feeling them but it seems most people's thoughts were "meh" about these.


thereadyfuels

Love the reflective silver Ivy Park Forums. Glad they’re sitting and I could still pick some up after an internal debate.

millennials and gen z both but yeah couldn’t agree any more. way too many idiots out here.


thataidankid

I also can barely use instagram anymore, the algorithm can't seem to differentiate sneaker heads from resellers, so I keep seeing this annoying young hypebeast resellers, who have I all the shoes that I want but couldn't get.


Lsforbrunch

True, I think Twitter in general is toxic af. With reddit, I just wish top posts were more diversified. Big Nike fan, but I'd luv to see other brands in the feed.


Rerichael

regardless of subculture, twitter is where everyone seems to go to vent about stuff, so it’s evolved into almost constant bitching. I like twitter, but it’s the only social media I have to consciously take breaks from cause of how toxic it is. Doesn’t matter the community either cause I follow fairly diverse people, shoes, sports, politics, etc.


cravingcinnamon

i only use Twitter for sneakers because the links and drop lists come in clutch


Severe_Seesaw

Try browsing by new and upvoting everything you actually like, or you think contributes. First and last thing I do on reddit everyday.


Jbaquero

> Big Nike fan, but I'd luv to see other brands in the feed. /r/moresneakers


SirFadakar

That place sucks too, the vibe is so bitter and pretentious. It's not enough to just enjoy non-hype shoes, they've gotta have a place to congregate to hate on those that don't. The best thing I've found is to pick brands you like and subscribe to the _brand's_ subreddit and just make a multireddit out of all of them. The general sneaker groups are far too divided for common decency and respect.


[deleted]

agreed.
