The blue tint Yeezys actually look really cool to me. Wasn't feeling them before. Priority are the McDeezys for me tho.

Too bad that I won't actually be able to buy them because they will all be bought by resellers and not people that actually want them to wear.

I've seen black Camo ones that look fantastic. But I've got big & wide feet, UK 11. So I've not seen them in my size yet. £500. Phew!!
I'm UK too and my mate recently bought the black camo ones. They're nice. I believe he bought em off instagram. Theirs few of instagram private shopper type folks that are legit.

Try them on and see. You might need to go a half-size/full-size up. Primeknit is flexible and stretches out.
My Ultra Boosts are very snug and tight fit but at the same time stretchy and padded.

Apparently the 4.0 aren't changing much from the 3.0 so might be best Shy to head somewhere to try some 3.0 on just to know. Depending on the color the 4.0 might sell out quick.
Thanks so much for the advice. And sorry to took so long to reply.

Damn kind of wish i waited for 4.0, only bought my black 3.0's 6 weeks back or so. I still love wearing them but do feel the pattern looks a bit like stretch marks. I did however get them for £95 brand new.

Worse is subjective, difference in knit pattern but still primeknit and same amount of boost and conti soles.
And yet £20 more expensive. Even if they were still rocking the 1.0 knit I'd call them out on it.

Nike isn't changing the pattern on the VMs and jacking the price up to £190.

There was somebody on SneakerGAF that was going to try to dye a pair of sneakers but I can't remember who it was. If you're out there and did it post pics please lol.

I get that, don't like it either. Actually was thinking, since the 1.0, the addition of conti soles and primeknit all over the upper, mesh was used on the 1.0 iirc around the tongue, surprising they didn't increase the price earlier.

I'm also late to the sneaker game; interest was piqued after I started noticing all the knit shoes around the city. Started out with the Flyknit Free RNs at the beginning of the year, then leveled up to the Ultra Boost Uncaged a few months ago. Total Boost believer now, and I'm itching to get my hands on the 4.0s once some cooler colorways drop.

Gonna gift my brother some Uncaged's this month and show him the light.

That might have been me. I made a post asking for advice on how to dye my flyknit trainers. I bought them in the pale grey colourway and thought they'd look nicer in a dark grey colour way. However, in the end I decided I have way too black/dark colour shoes and I actually really like the pale grey so so I kept them as is.

My first time posting in this thread. Just started to recently get interested in improving my sneakers.

I'm starting out with these, which should be arriving tomorrow in the mail:

Janoskis are great. Depending on what the upper material is, you may have a break-in period which may cause some discomfort, but after that, great affordable shoes. Be prepared to lace them up a lot though.

Had to choose between the 11s and the Packer X Solebox joints, went with the Jordans.

Jordans have long fallen out of favor with sneakerheads, nobody really cares about them any more unless it's an OG colorway or some hyped collab (Kaws, Off-White, etc). That said, the Win Like 11s are great in hand and I don't regret my purchase one bit. I got these to replace my sole-separated '11 Concords (will eventually fix them I guess) and I'll happily rock these till the Concords drop again next year.

Colorway on the Soleboxes are really nice, but I just don't like how the Mids look on feet. The ankle cuff looks so chunky, having that cuff stack under your pants cuff...not a good look.

Ah ok. After seeing some of the custom AF1s that came out of complexcon I'm thinking about dip dying a pair but wanted to see if you'd gone ahead and done it and if it had turned out alright.

Yeah, I heard they're nicer in person.

Jordans were always a niche shoe in London, hyped more in recent years but never took off with the larger market.

Janoskis are nice, had the blacks with gum soles. Wanted a pair of the koston 2s really badly a few years ago, sadly never got

Jordans are falling out of favor cause JBs pricing is fucking dumb.

At the same time Jordans will always be Jordans, they're the G.O.A.T. OG colorways will still sell out cause of history.

Also at this point in the game adidas is doing nothing but rehashing silhouettes and pumping out shit colorways. I blame the new ERA of sneakerheads who just eat up shit hyped shoes with artificially inflated stock so when the new CW appears people eat it up like starving beasts

Yeh, I remember posting something in the old thread about how Reeboks are so big in London/UK yet dead in the North America. But it makes sense, the cultures are different. Reebok is a UK brand, has been worn for years here and was part of many "scenes" (Notably the Garage music scene). Basketball isn't huge in the UK so it makes sense Jordans aren't that popular.


On topic of Yeezys, do they do in-store releases? How are they? Also confirmed app is free from bots? Whats the best way to use the confirmed app?

Good joke mate, people have different kinds of jigs with everything. You best bet someone knows how to exploit it.

" yeezy in store releases "

No. Its usually raffle and the confirmed app.

" best way to use the confirmed app "

Unless youre in the know just pray to lord yeezus and click that button as fast as you can, even then its gonna be luck.

Multi came with yellow laces as extra. Nothing with the Glows.

I'm headed to an outlet store today or tomorrow. Gonna see if I can grab any bargains on NMDS or UB. Hell could get lucky like that guy who got the 750s.
