 Sneaker Help
" SOME MARK-ASS BUSTER STEPPED ON MY SNEAKERS"
I need new kicks and Im breaking my self imposed 14 year nike ban.Ive done msn searches on Dunks and SB and cant find any good shops.I found some a couple months ago that had tons of shoes,but cant seem to track them down,help me please.
Also,if you would like to off load some sneaks in good condition,let me know,Im wearing these and not collecting,so keep the price reasonable.
Is ebay a reliable source for dunks?They had some cheap kicks but are they authentic?

strangely enough, i just broke my nike ban a couple weeks ago and bought some dunks. They really fucking comfortable...
I am totally not qualified on where to buy though. I got my in a shop in calgary, which isn't near you at all.

I've hear the Bay is pretty sketchy for Dunks.
I don't have any but I really want a pair of the Huff Hippy Hi's.

In my idealistict youth I thought NIKE was bad,child labor, and they were too "commercial".
I wear a size 10,maybe 9.5, depending on the fit.

Cool-I love sneaks but work in an industry that dictates safety boots/shoes and wind up throwing loafers or hiking boots on after work..

I got a pair of SB Pushead dunks size 10 1/2 still in the special artwork box. Never worn. I'll either sell them for what I paid retail $180 or we could work out some vynil trade. They run a little small because they are extra padded for skating.

Cool or uncool?

Real Converse All-Stars in my size are too narrow for my Fred Flintstone feet, so I get the union-made high-tops which are juuust right. Comfort for the sole and soul.

Thanks for the help everyone.I would like to see pics of the AF1's ,I dont know the different color combos very well.
The pusheads are cool,did they cost more for the box w/ the art work,or did they all come like that.
Union made shoes are dope,Im in the union,I should buy more union stuff.

I'm a confirmed Nike Head, check this post: http://www.skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1608
As for ebay, bapestas and dunk SB's seem highly questionable in many cases. They are popular and expensive and seem to get bootlegged pretty quickly. I was amazed how many pairs of Tiffany dunks turned up for cheap prices months later. If someone has every size available of SB's or Bapestas, be suspicious. If someone is selling them too cheap, with BIN for like $60 - be suspicious. Regular dunks and AF1's I got from the bay a few years ago were cool, but I got ripped on a fake pair of Heineken SB's....so have rarely bought since then. I only buy SB's from local skate stores, as I'm lucky enough to have a few in the vicinity.
A safer way to buy off ebay is if someone is selling their collection, single pairs of different shoes in the same size.
Btw, the new Adidas Adicolor line I think are great. The camo shell toes are my new fave shoe, and the artist series drop tomorrow...Keith Haring hi-top, here I come! http://www.press.adidas.com/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-195/
Another shoe to look out for is the Skullbrain affilliated DoggPony shoe coming very soon from DC!

they all came with the box, but is quite unique to Nike to have anything other than their regular pink box for the SB (Skateboard) dunks.
I think it's the smaller run they do these special edition SB dunks which drove up the price. Who knows. When a shoe you like drops, you gotta have it. Just like toys.

I haven't worn anything but Nike since 1994. I only recently broke my adidas ban for the Twist shoes. Never go back, I am shoe horse, but not a collector. I collect toys, and wear my shoes. My supreme's are wrecked because of this. One day I can spin yarns about working on the first AF1 reissue in 1995.

yeah, i'm the same way. I skate in practically every Nike I own.
I just could never wear the Pusheads because if I wore them once, they would be wrecked and figured they were too nice.

go there they are one of the only places i trust enough to buy nikes from online. I've ordered from them a few times. But they do bump the price a lil cuz they gotta make a living. ie: nike at store for 69.99 you find there for 79.99.
Hope that helps

$75? Read what I said above. Highly unlikely u r getting the real thing, and if that disclaimer says what I think it does, then they even say that. Do they sell Bapes for cheap?
