@rage2 you don't happen to still have those size 13 AJ1 Washed Blacks?

funny enough, I do. It wasn't worth my time or gas to return it, and I figured when my oldest moves out I'll still have my own pair.

But if you want them, I'd be happy to sell it to you at retail, but prefer if you have something cool in trade if you're also a size 13.

PM me your # and we can chat.

A few of you should join the different cook groups that are out there... keeps you up to date on the releases and If you decide you want to bot everything is there. They'll even help teach you.

I sold my bots a few months back but could point you guys in the right direction at least.

[rage2]

Bots doesn’t give me the thrill of the chase.

What online re-sellers are decently priced and reliable?
My son wants a pair of Jordan 1 True Blue in size 6... and of course he is a few months late for the normal store release...

Wasn't able to find stock on it anywhere. They were $165 + GST = $173.25 new in GS size. StockX you can probably throw in a $155 bid on a pair ($190 after fees) and get a bite within a month based on the sales history.

Thanks! Trying to push him to get something else.. he wants 1s and there arent any new ones coming up he likes.

Somewhat related, my younger son got the Jordan 1 Spiderman/Next Chapter or whatever they are called for MRSP in Seattle at BAIT. They had a few pairs of the kids sizes left. (He is size 4) Super pumped.

Nice! Yea, they're relatively hard to find in Canada, but mostly selling slightly above retail in the US. I got my kids pairs out of Nike India and Nike Hong Kong, ended up getting for other friends kids. Think I shipped something like 6 pairs of them out of HK haha.

On a random note, @JordanEG6 are you still into sneakers? I've always enjoyed reading whatever you've posted over the years but seems like it's been a while.

I love the AJ1 hype has cooled and most releases are decently easy to grab now. That being said, none of the upcoming releases really speak to me. Biggest regret was selling my AJ3 black cements for retail since i wasn't into Jordan then... now i have all these Yeezy's and UltraBoosts i never wear and really only like Jordans.

[rage2]

Speaking of AJ3s, nobody likes these because the heel tabs yellow like crazy, the fragment blue is hidden in the insole. Oh well, bonus for me getting them a few bucks over retail.

That was a fun morning at JD sports grand opening. Like the old days grinding it out in line with my son picking up pairs for beyonders. Nice seeing you there as well @darthVWader

[darthVWader]

Good meeting you @rage2 .
And the almost fight was worth the wait in line.

[rage2]

Haha that almost fight was hilarious. Resellers fighting over $10. Somebody gotta tell ‘em there’s better ways to make money.

That guy asked me to buy him stuff earlier in the morning. I’m like no thanks. Told me he’d pay me. Clearly he doesn’t realize I eat the same rice as @89coupe haha.

[shakalaka]

Haha that's hilarious. Thanks @rage2 for picking me up a pair of university blue's.

I'll dabble here and there on things I will actually wear instead of collecting. My collecting days are over. Re-sellers and hypebeast collabs ruined it for me over the last decade or so. I've sold almost everything I had including all my rare Jordans. I'm down to about 60-70 pairs now. Mostly vintage Nike running and Air Maxes.

I've kept a few rare pieces that I still kinda like. But even then, I wouldn't mind moving these either:

2008 Questlove Air Force 1 from ALIFE Rivington NYC


2006 Ben Drury x Air Max 1 HOLD TIGHT


2009 Pacquaio Air Trainer 1 LTD 1/100


Not sure how deep Beyond goes into sneaker lore or if anyone has been into sneakers since way back when, but this is currently my favorite and very rare - a pristine pair of fully wearable 2003 Air Max 95 Neons. Post 2004, they stopped making Air Maxes with the original fat bubble air pods. Most of them left in the world are oxidized and crumbled from age.
