Yeah, fair enough. Not only do I have quite an eclectic taste, I like to generally get a feel what’s hot out there.

I picked up the Hanon Mizuno yesterday, they sold out straight away. Obvs the TS dunks next week with any luck, and then the Liverpool the week after. Sometimes wish I flipped trainers as could make a packet

Must be nice having large/small feet in this situation.

I’ve always assumed that the stock for the smaller and larger sizes were lower anyway so probably don’t help your chances.

Glad I went for the bigger pair as well as the 12s are a little too small. Will await the 13s and see.

Not sure how Adidas get the sizes so different. Pretty much every pair of shoes I have is an 11. Adidas however...

Ultra boosts - 13.5
Swift Runs - 12
Yeezy - 13 (fingers crossed)

All I know is that if you're a size 9 you're right up against it in raffles.

Good luck with your size 13 Yeezy if your UB’s are a 13.5.

I had to go a whole size up on my 350’s whereas my UB are true to size.

Thanks for the heads-up, Gromm.

Now im back from the States. (absolutely awful for sneaker shopping. No good Jordans anywhere)

Will be ordering the green mids.

Where did you go? Surprised about the no Jordan’s comment.

Boston. The only Jordans about in 5 stores are the same ones that are readily available over here. Some of the high end stores had 0 Jordans. Was hoping might have been something interesting but sadly not.

Did you happen to go to bodega whilst you were there?

No chance... people will be queuing all night for the Liverpool. Only 2020 pairs in the world, a proper rare shoe, not a yeezy or Jordan thing

Stop this negative talk Danny, I'm starting to fret that I wont get a pair!! 2020 pairs in size stores. Guessing 500 will go to the liverpool and dublin stores leaving 1500 for the remaining stores and online?! 10000+ wanting them the odds look terrible!!

I will go to the store and check but also try on the app, got several people trying for me!

Those Mizunos looked amazing! The colours and materials even I was tempted to enter for them!

Guessing a video will be made on them?

I did yes. Great concept for a store. So many must just walk past. went in twice and they had 1 pair of mids.

So it looks like the Travis Scott Dunks were released via a raffle on his site last night/early this morning. I don't know if there will be a wider release, fingers crossed.

I also got the Mizunos.

How did you get them Danny? I'm curious how many pairs there are/how they were released. I know about the special 50 boxes thing but not total number of pairs

Yeah, wider release but all through SB stores, as I understand it.

TS website for an exclusive Box. Normal release is 29th I believe

[Ian82]

Took my first L for them, really hope to pick up a pair.

Yup been confirmed by Nike. No sneakrs draw only SB retailers

[Ambleton]

As a general rule I only have AF1 lows as my every day trainer. They seem way better made, sturdy and supportive than most of the crap I find nowadays.

I've had my current pair two or three years and they're almost completely knackered now. I've been waiting for a decent pair to be released but nothing really took my fancy.

I think the "standard" price for most AF1 Lows is now £85, the limited ones are £105 and the gore tex ones £125.

On the NikeID site, custom mens ones are £100.

So these ones are incoming in a few weeks

(it shows out of stock most of the time as they have order limits per day, but I was up early one morning and was faffing about and found I could add a pair to my basket at 5.30am)
