Don't suppose any of you flash guys are LV VIP accounts? 
I want those ridiculous green 1.1 sunglasses but currently only available to VIPs.

I know a guy. Loads of stuff is completely sold out tho regardless of any special status. I tried to get one of the Virgil trunks and had no luck as it’s all gone.

Anyway, unfortunately they're completely sold out in the UK. He said there is no stock showing at all in storage or at stores so couldn't even request transfer to store or a telephone sale.

Excited, expecting a delivery today.
Can't remember who gave me the heads up about Stock X but thanks (was in the previous thread), actually not sure I should thank you, it could lead to a dark road.
What did you go for?Can't remember who gave me the heads up about Stock X but thanks (was in the previous thread), actually not sure I should thank you, it could lead to a dark road.
Nothing too exciting, as this thread goes....but... I like em.apologies for,the Net pic as I have to keep them on the low down awhile. The missus is running a strict one pair in, one pair out rule at present.
On another note, I know some of you guys on here are bonkers when it comes to sneakers, but Stock X
some bonkers stuff on there altogether. epom said:

some bonkers stuff on there altogether. First I started by just getting something new ordered each week, then waiting by the door biting my fingernails waiting for the delivery, and snatching the package off the driver and rapidly shoving the package in some crevice in the house somewhere before I got caught.
Then I got caught.
So then I opted for the ‘hidden in plain sight’ strategy. I ordered like 4/5 pairs in one go, and had them all lying around in a spare room. I’d take the incoming Spanish Inquisition on the chin, knowing full well, that she might miss the exact number I’d got this time round, and be able to add a couple more pairs later, and say, “...b
ks!!! I got these three weeks ago and you must have seen them when you had a go at me the other day! bks!!”. Throw a huff, then jump into the car with mock indignance.Now I’m on stage 3: I keep new sets of sneakers in the boot of the cars. The things don’t even see the front door anymore. They get bought, then immediately buried like camouflage in the boot.
Stage 4, if I get rumbled, will be like Hitlers Gold. Boxes wrapped up in multiple tightly wound up bags, and dumped in the fish pond at the dead of night.
Talking of Stockx, wandered into a nearby shop. Asked the yoof if I could get my hands on these Adapt BB jobs and he said, “nahhh bruh...Stockx!”. He did also recommend I drove a few hundred miles to the nearest (bigger) city and try my like with “...a guy I know bruh” but I’ll think I’ll just online the things. Take the hit.

I can’t tell if you’re joking but that sounds like it sucks.

My wife actually asked why I hadn’t bought shoes in a while so I showed her the Off White AJ1’s I want which are about £2k, she said I could have those if she could get the Mulberry she wants for summer. We’ll see.

Well stage 4 might be going too far, but I’ve even been cornered into only having one beer every other night! I stopped playing football a short while ago, so I’m really under the microscope. My diet is under scrutiny, everything...My wife actually asked why I hadn’t bought shoes in a while so I showed her the Off White AJ1’s I want which are about £2k, she said I could have those if she could get the Mulberry she wants for summer.

I’m trying something else though. I’m buying her stuff too...
Smart, right? Yeah...I’ll see how it goes, and will report back.
But Mulberry eh? That will require strong wallet game. Sounds like your better half has marked out a Bayswater, Oak Leather satchel and a small Selby Classic all in one hit. That’s bookoo cash.

And it’s kinda scary how you knew what she wanted. A Bayswater but also a mini Bayswater!
