After taking L's last few weekends finally caved and ordered pair of Jordan 1 Retro High Off-White white reps.
It comes out every 5 yearsI find out after the fact the New Balance just re-released the M1300JP last Saturday.
Prices are too much for me on reseller sites. Oh well.

Only one store in my country selling them... I wish it would release on SNEAKRS, but no bueno. Only skate shops.I don't even want to add up how much time I've spent over the last few days signing up for Travis Scott Dunk raffles.
Where are you? A lot of the shops getting them are shipping.Only one store in my country selling them... I wish it would release on SNEAKRS, but no bueno. Only skate shops.

Check the rest of the European shops that are stocking them on their IG's dude, it'll let you know on there if they're offering shipping within the EU. That's how I'm in so many raffles.
Who do you order from if you don't mind me asking? I use Will most of the time but his prices have been ticking up a good deal over the past 12 months.

Aight entered some more raffles. Still kinda shitty how the sneakers are not released on SNEAKRS though.Check the rest of the European shops that are stocking them on their IG's dude, it'll let you know on there if they're offering shipping within the EU. That's how I'm in so many raffles.
Yeah it's BS. Got my fingers crossed for you man!Aight entered some more raffles. Still kinda shitty how the sneakers are not released on SNEAKRS though.
I might have missed them but looks like I can get regular versions of them next week:

Thanks for the welcoming replies to my introductory post around here — it's much appreciated!
Sorry, my impressions/stories won't have pictures this time as I'm just posting this as I'm killing downtime at work on a long shift.
I've had two major gets recently that I wanted to talk about.
First up is that I got my first-ever pair of Jordans! I got a pair Air Jordan 1 Retro High OGs! Got them in the current black/metallic silver/gym red colorway — I think I saw somewhere they were described as the "satin" black, though that doesn't seem to be the official colorway name? I got them just a couple of days before my partner and I's anniversary and got to wear them for the first time on our dinner date. I get a boost in confidence from styling up every once in a while, as I'm usually just kind of an athletic-fit t-shirt and skinny jeans kind of guy the vast majority of the time, and I sure as hell felt that when I was wearing hi-top Jordan 1's and my slight dress-up I did for our date. Most expensive pair of shoes I've ever bought in my life, but I did once buy $140 running shoes when I was still running regularly, so it wasn't a massive difference.
That leads me to vent about one other frustration I have: I have smaller-than-average feet. US Men's size 7. It makes shopping at physical retail really tough, I feel like most of the big retailers don't stock size 7's and they either sell out fast or just don't get produced in large quantities because it seems like an unusual shoe size. I admit, I feel a bit of shame. Lowest size I could get my Jordans in was a size 8, and the folks at the Finish Line I bought them at hooked me up with some guards to put them in to make them fit a little better (and last longer too as the guards are meant to prevent creasing at the front). They were comfortable to wear for a dinner date and I am willing to bet I could go a day without killing my feet in them if I was doing some on-foot shopping or something, but this is the story of my life — it feels like if I want high fashion stuff, I have to compromise either my fit and go a tad larger or I gotta pay out the ass to get my actual size in many cases. Goddamn my tiny feet, lol.
Winning these is gonna see people m
That's another win for reps when it comes to sizing as they will stock all.
strange though you say 7 hard to find in stores in the states. I am size 7 and buying sneakers generally isn't an issue. When it comes trying to get hype trainers though the small sizes are the first to go.
I'm not quite at the level where I need to enter raffles or anything for a chance to buy
I am so jealous rn. Got a big fat L from Flatspot. And all the others. I think they might honestly be my favourite sneaker of all time.Won a pair of the Travis Dunks from Flatspot. Now I need to decide whether to keep them or resell them as the lowest ask is over £1000 in my size on StockX and they're not my favourite design 🤔
OH COME THE FUCK ON I CAN'T EVEN WIN THE FUCKING PINE GREEN JORDAN 1'S!?
I fucking hate sneaker buying so much.
It's madness. Everyone wants to resell and its causing any AJ1s to be sold it in minutes.
After taking L's last two weekends I didn't even bother trying today.
I picked these up for less than 50 bucks. Still waiting for some better weather to break them out though.Waiting for a pair of New Balances to really wow me before I dive into those. The Chinese New Year ones were close.

Sneaker culture is not a culture right now. Resellers should not dominate a culture.
^^^^^^
like look at this backdooring bullshit
fuck modern sneaker 'culture' full of resellers and people just wanting to one up each other After companies stir up social media hype makes them feel like only limited Releases= Omg fiiire
Right now sneakers aren't going to the people who want them. They're going to people looking to resell at inflated prices to people who get hyped from how high they resell.
Nowadays people are more worried about how much sneakers resell for than getting dope sneakers and dope fits around it. This culture is fucking dead to me.
