Ooh which 95’s are they? Also have you had any dispatch emails for your J’s?

Its those, I love that colour combo so ordered from Kickscrew in HK. Was a little awkward to register but all worked out ok.

Havent had a dispatch note yet for the J5s. Just the order received email with the order no, est delivery date of 18th.
Cool, was there any additional fees buying from HK?

Also they arrived early biggrin, did you get yours?



These run a bit bigger than usual so I have put a thicker lunarlon insole in them.

@Melman Giraffe correct. Didn’t your son win some Off-Whites last year too?

How are people buying releases from Size? The preview app doesn't work for me and the website and normal app seem to direct you to the preview app for launches?!

Very nice Matt and you’re making a good case to own a pair of camo trousers cool

You’ve got a few pairs of OW’s - where do these rank?

I was disappointed to miss out on these although not nearly as gutted as I was to miss the ‘85 J1’s a few weeks back. That one still hurts weeping

Haha, get some! I love me a bit of camo every now and then.

It’s difficult to rank, but from the ones I have they are near the top.

I missed out on the 85’s too, they would have been nice to have, didn’t really try hard to get them though as I only tried the SNEAKRS app, none of the other sites that were selling them.

Quick delivery from Sneakrs - first pair of J3’s I’ve got up close to but ultimately not for me so back to Nike they go.

Hadn't bought any trainers for a couple of months but saw last night that footlocker had a restock of the AF1 Type - Triple White so ordered a pair of those and am in for the Yeezy raffle on Saturday

For those of you with both Dunk highs, and AJ1 highs - are the Dunks chunkier?
Gameface said:
Let me know your thoughts on the Spectrums when they arrive please.
Ok, just got around to open the box, first impressions - the colours are spot on, exactly as expected and Nike used a very nice soft thick suede what I assume is natural leather. The sole is slightly softer and more rubbery to touch than your normal AJ1s.

Re size, they look and feel slightly chunkier than AJ1s especially at the top due to, again, slightly thicker ankle guards/padding, I'd say they weigh the same as AJ1s. On feet, they feel softer and slightly more comfortable out of the box and a tad tighter which could be due to materials thickness or manufacturing variations, mine are made in Vietnam. Overall, a nice classic pair of highs well worth a hundred quid, defo a keeper and nice way to introduce softer palette into collection.

Would be nice to compare them to AJ1 Milano biggrin
Cheers for that, Gromm. I appreciate the feedback.

Right then, time to get my first Dunks!

Today and yesterday I received notifications that the UNC to CHI J1s were back in stock (SNS and Offspring) and on both occasions I missed out, despite getting on it within 5mins.

Madness.

Google raffles/launches at the following (off the top of my head):-

END. SNS. Hanon. BSTN. Footdistrict. SNEAKRS. Adidas (for Yeezy). Kilates. Allike.

There's a sticky at the top of the lounge with our trusted shops.
