It’s my birthday coming up and wanted a pair of Nike 98s from my youth.

Looking for the vast grey and mint green colour way.
Does anyone know of some obscure shop where they still have them in a 9?

They had some on distance just last weekend but my sister ordered the wrong size and the correct size is now gone....

Thanks guys.

The ones on distance were only £90 and was hoping for something along those lines.

The rerelease is 95s, thanks for the thought though.

My bad. I get confused with Airmax's as not my thing.


Stock x might be a good bet. watch out for all the fees. But might be worth a bid. (depending on your size)

Thats the same reason I have been putting off. But I realy want some light grey shoes. So as I could not get the smoke grey 1;s might as well make some smile grey af1's.
Dont think anyone could get them, i had the Grey 1's on my watch list for ages and never got the opportunity to buy, though im seeing more places like this;
https://specialdeliveryldn.com/pages/about-us pop up (maybe via targetted cookie advertising) charging obscene amounts for said shoe. Yet stockx has them for £120

Another example from that site is the J1 low gym reds, they want £190 yet Foot Locker have them available for £90

Another weird Nike thing is recently i purchased some black/purple J1's low from pro-direct basketball, who acted as the middleman as the shoes were shipped from Nike themselves (does say in the small print this might occur), yet the Nike site doesnt feature them

Since lockdown, lots more are becoming customisers it seems, you should see the extortionate amounts people are charging for heat transferred applied stickers and calling it 'custom', its shoe plus £100 for anyone interested. I know the 'hustle is real' but thats just taking the piss

Its all very odd. The stocked and restocked on Footlocker but sold out super fast. End never had them but say sold out. Offspring put them on insta and sol out with in seconds.

Nikes own site they had been listed as coming soon and then disappeared. The hulks have still not launched on Nike.

All very odd for a pair of mids. Nike must be all over the place at the moment.

Doesn't help since lock down when some Jordans drop. They Trent on twitter with tons of people moaning they could not get them. All people who only want them to try and sell them for a quick few ££

I’ve had a similar issue with Digital Pink mids.



I waited months and months checking daily for these to drop with the Nike App saying “coming soon”, then all of a sudden they appear not available. WTF are they playing at, no notifications or anything they just seemed to have either sold out within seconds or they have pulled the product?

Probably the latter, I'd say, purely on the basis of mids not being popular enough to sell out that quickly - imo.

They are though... Perhaps not as much as highs but since the Fearless Collabs they have gained popularity.

Also considering they are on Stockx going for over double they must have been sold somewhere.

Think Foot Locker has the Hulks if your after a pair.

Im guessing theres a supply issue, but wondering if theres some contractual thing stating they have to supply shops 1st, themselves 2nd? Id just make my own if it wasn't for wanting the grey bottomed sole though i guess this could be resolved via China

I know they've gained popularity, but enough for the metallic pinks to sell out instantly? Can't see it.

(and I'm kinda irked that mids have became popular, coz I've been into them for years!)

Never been keen on the finish of those 1s, too shiny!

Looks like the laser orange SB Dunks are restocking Thursday, on the Nike website.

You can remove the patent/gloss quite easily. I tried to get a pair to do so but they are sold out.
