Guys, I’m looking for basketball shoes in a size uk9. Ideally after some retro flavour Dada spinners , AND1 , Reebok Answer's but open to anything size 9 really. Budget anywhere upto £100 so no Jordan’s really. Currently wear KD10s and Kyrie 3/4s to play in , so also open to KD's , Kobe's etc

Edited to add , Ive searched the usuals : NBA Store , Prodirect basketball , Nike, sneakernstuff, kickz etc. Got a few things im bidding on StockX too.

Really nice quality, decent box, pleased with these!

As a result of this thread, I bought a pair of these, managed to get a voucher code online and get them for £63, I love them. Box is cool and I love the colour, keeping them for the spring/summer.


.

Also bought these in the Size sale, £120 down to £40, for knocking about and to and from the gym, delighted with them



Pretty much only wear white or black Adidas Stan Smiths so these both are a bit of a change!

Love the brussels, yep the dublin sole would look good, will wait and see in hand pics of how light the gum sole is!

I must admit I have not got round to signing up on the Patron thing yet. TBH I hate signing up to loads of stuff on the net that requires cards, I don't have paypal for this reason! How is it going? getting plenty of patrons? Think its a decent idea BTW
The Patreon is literally because we constantly get DM’d about making more videos. However, as we don’t get any freebies we can’t just carry on buying stuff just for videos, so we thought this would be a decent idea and then give them away.
Can either of you explain this for those of us not in the loop? Cheers.

This thread will broaden your horizons. It certainly did mine.

Get on youtube and watch the annexe, its Danny (roystinho) and his mates youtube channel. Its great!!

They have thought of a way everyone pays a minimal amount to fund trainer purchases to create more content, they then give the trainers away.

Josh pretty much summed it up. It’s $2.50/month to support the channel. And in return we fire a pair of trainers every month to one lucky person... basically the money we get from people supporting funds the pair of kicks.

As above, it’s becasue we are constantly being asked to do more so it’s just a way to make it a bit more financially viable, plus it’s a bit of fun for everyone

Edit - we do the draw first, then buy the trainers so they’re the correct size wink

I thought it was a Facebook or Instagram thing and I'm not on social media.

Will have a look at YouTube.

Have you thought of other ways of achieving your goal?

Im not asking for figures, but if you make money off of putting the videos on youtube you could offer trainers at a discount. As long as this can be done in a manner where it doesn’t tie you in to having to get the trainer, as we all now they do sell out and if your not being given them by retailers you only stand the same chance we do.

This could be a dynamic discount so you can weigh up the videos value vs the cost.

I presume everyone would still be able to see the videos if you went the Patreon route, the Patreon gets you into the draw. Would this give you issues with being classed as gambling? I believe normally you need a game of skill to negate this, obviously this could be trainer related.

We started monetising in around July, youtube has just paid us our first cheque of £75... so that shows you how much you get back off them.

It’s not classed as gambling as you are supporting us making content. We just give the trainers away at the end of the video to one of our followers... we’ve had to say you get extra content being part of patreon by becoming an Instagram close friend, and then we choose one of our ‘close friends’ to win. It’s a technicality, but I know what you mean.

We had a slap on our wrists from Patreon as they said we couldn’t do giveaways. They were cool about it and understood it was all good intentions. But they were fine with the loophole so...

What giveaways you got coming up?

As time passes are they going to be whatever is released around the time?

How often do you envisage doing a giveaway?

Every month. We’ve done a deal with size? to get something that a lot of people will want towards the start of every month. And if work schedules allow and size? get their stock in we’ll do early looks at the trainers - we’ve dine it before a couple of times when they’ve asked us to film a video for them
