If anyone wants me to try for them on SNEAKRS for the Dunks, just shout before 8am

Could you enter for a mate of mine? He’s not fussy on the colour so the draw for all 3 in size 8.5. Cheers

[Jordan210]

Always good to continue my 100% record of not winning a draw on Sneakrs

[Matt Cup]

I’ve had an email from PayPal saying that I have ordered some dunks. But nothing from SNEAKRS yet.


Edit it’s these. Still no idea what size they are as I entered for me and the missus.

What shoe predictor spray does everyone recommend

I used to use Collonil Waterstop but have run out. Is designed for all leather used by major brands. But dint know if there is something better for trainers ?

Super happy this morning. Won my first ever raffle to (in my opinion) the nicest Yeezy colourway



After an entire year of L's on other colourways / jordans / off whites and other collabs. This is a good end to the year

After a recommendation from PH'er on this thread, I now use the Cherry Blossom stuff.

Considerably cheaper than the crepe stuff yet just as effective.

Offspring “backdoor” came through this morning.

Genuine Q, do most of you guys actually wear your trainers or keep them boxed? And what decides which pairs will be worn or boxed?

Also managed to get a pair for a friend’s son. Not my thing really, but they’re one of the better colourways recently

I wear all of mine pretty much. Weather and activity dependant of course. Then they go back in the box. I just rotate them all round, but in no particular or set order

I wear them all. I get pleasure from wearing them, not having them sat in a box

Edit: Weather & activity dependant, like Danny.

[Gameface]

Same as above, but there's plenty I've not got round to wearing.

I have 4 pairs I don't wear and 88 pairs I do wear. It's important to maintain a healthy balance.

Santa left his Jordan’s for me !

I won’t buy them unless I plan to wear them. Just been wearing my Chataeu Rouge Jordans today in all the rain!

Those dunks are the only trainers I really wanted this year, went for the green and the yellow, big capital l on both.
Do we think they will stay up at the high resale prices for a while?

Resale prices are volatile, but usually they go down about a week after release as people start to receive their pairs from retailers and the market starts to flood with pairs from resellers.

For example, my missus bought a pair of OW Air Force 1’s last year for £300 this was at the bottom of the resell market as prices have now shot up massively.

Mildly so. Nothing high end in my small collection which are all fairly subdued compared to some.

Thanks for the replies all. Good to see people wearing them rather than keeping them box fresh, though I do understand they can be an investment.
