Alien Stompers just arrived! I've decided I'm going to wear them rather than flip them. Tags already pulled smile

I've not bought any trainers in a while, though I've seen a few I like the look of. I keep looking at Air Force 1s and their derivatives, but the original just doesn't fit how I'd like (and isn't amazingly comfortable either). The UltraForce and Flyknit models are really light but I couldn't feel any cushioning from the Air unit and, anyway, I'd much rather the original white colour.



I've also been liking the look of the Dualtone Racer, which is obviously designed after the Flyknit Racer. I loved the look of the Flyknit but it's really designed as a specialist running shoe with a £130 price tag to match. I've not jumped ship to Nike, but these are the styles I've been looking at most keenly in the last while.

I tried to buy this morning but the 20% code stopped working at 9AM. 50% off was still better than nothing

I got these. They won't be to everyones tasted but I wanted them when they originally released and they sold out. Quite pleased to see them available! I also got a jumper.

They do look amazing but I hope you have better luck than I did.

There is a rigid toe 'guard' with a curved top in the front of the shoe and I just couldn't get comfortable in them.

I was in NikeTown Las Vegas and they had these in loads of colourways and said they were selling really quick and in demand whenever stock was received ... good luck on the flip smile

Yeah. I noticed the same. I'm thinking about getting the size down to stop it catching on my toe.

Got all 3 for 70% off on adidas, last pairs for a while.
Bermudas are heavy, its the sole, very comfy though, I wore them for a little walk after lunch yesterday and they felt fine and didn't get too hot!

Adidas NMD prices jumped up £30? I went to Office yesterday the trainers I was considering a few months ago all priced at £100 now seem to be £130?

I thought they were overpriced at £100, it's definitely a no from me at £130. I'll wait for the sales...

Horrible things, I really found them uncomfortable. I know you're only buying to flip, but there is a ton out there... are you sure you'll make anything?

Roystinho, I know you'd be an expert at this kind of thing.

Do you have a rough valuation on the Supreme x Comme des Garcons Air Force 1's?

They look a bit marmite , but could be an investement

Just arrived - big discount and then code EXTRA20 brought them in at £24 I think. Very impressed with what I thought was going to feel like a cheap trainer.
