These look great too (ignoring the stupid watches).

I'll be in for these too.

These drop on Friday at 8am.

Anyone not in for them themselves, I'd appreciate you entering for me. Size 9 please.

There's 62p profit in it for you... wink

Edited to add that if they are listed in Nike's Women's sizes that's size 11.5 for a man.

Will need size 11.5 not 9 if they are listed as women's sizes.

I just had a look on stockx and noticed the processing fee for buying at the moment is crazy low. Not sure if this is an error. But if your looking at buying something you might actually get a good deal from Stockx

Funnily enough, I just looked at J1 Origin Story. They're going for £350 now, up from £188 at release but with/without the crazy fees, the prices are around the same.

Apologies, when i was looking a few weeks ago for some black J1's, some origins popped up for RRP. But looks like the markets changed or maybe it was stockx i saw them.

Just had a look at the sold section of ebay and it looks like they could have been pre-owned but minimal use.

Though in your size, these turned up;

Auction ended in September (i guess that ties in with my timeline) though. So guess right place, right time sometimes

what i want. a trainer sneaker that
- i can walk a long time in
- will keep my feet warm (is not mesh).
- is super comfy
- i can throw in the washing machine. and probably is not leather.
- if i could use for the gym it would be great, but not essnetial as i could bring my other footwear).
- sensible enough for smart/casual office attire. doesn't stand out

I may even make a seperate thread for good walking/work shoes.
Leather Gazelles
Adidas sambas
Few companies do a goretex trainer, AF1 ans stan smith seem popular?

Get a pair of shoes for the gym,and dog walking what do you do there? £50 will get you a good pair of last years running shoes!

IMO you want 2 pairs one for when it wet and muddy and one for office/casual use. Walking the dog can be pretty muddy where we are!
i have a pair of suede gazelles, they're alright. but they aren't something i would walk many miles in.
I do have a pair that i use for the gym (duramos for cardio, converse for lifting).

What i mainly want is something i can wear to work whilst also walk alot in..comfortably. in the mornings ill take the bus to the train station, on the way home ill walk. i think i may need to make a seperate thread on dedicated 'walking shoes'.
