Thoughts on Nike Huarache?

I hear they are very comfortable. Anyone tried them? How's the sizing?

Tempted by these as a fun summer trainer:

They are VERY small, in my experience. One size up for me.

Anyone else in for the bape campus?

Fingers crossed they fit then as I'm slightly wider of foot but I'd imagine they won't fit as usual

theyre not nike generous, but they are about the widest originals imo. stan smiths as well. shame as theyre about as classic as it comes. just whenever i think fk it, those are cheap enough not to worry about it, they end up unworn in the wardrobe.

How do you mean? They're not out yet and no signs of release date yet if that's what you mean?

SB Jordan 4’s have arrived and I love ‘em!

They’ll never see a skateboard though - retired my deck up a few years ago after cracking a rib

Nice man. I tried getting a pair on SNKRS but got an L of course!

I’ve decided to sell/send back my Reimagined 3’s. Would love to keep them but needs must!

Probably can’t do this on here, but…if a fellow Size 11 PHer wants first dibs, let me know. I will be selling them for the price they seem to be going for in Stock X/eBay (which isn’t a massive markup).

Thought retail + costs is the accepted policy here.

Stockx and eBay both take between 10-15% in fees of sale price alone. Once you take that off it's not selling for much more than retail and you'd be avoiding incurring these fees selling privately.

Good luck to you though.

Well, if I felt like being kind, maybe

Currently on eBay, size 11 are up for more than I'd sell for anyway. As a buyer, extra charges are applied to StockX items, so buying from me would still be cheaper. We're talking a couple of quid though really aren't we.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone to describe Adidas as narrower than Nike! I’m not saying you’re wrong but I’ve always typified the generic Nike fit (so not the Air Force) as long and narrow. It goes to show just how much of a shoe’s fit comes down to feel rather than measurement.

The Dunks look identical to the University Blue ones which released in 2021.

They do tbf, just an ever so slightly different shade. They also did the highs branded aluminium which are also a very similar shade too

Not sure about these ^^^ the blue tick version look better IMO.

On a side note I've got a pair of the 2017 AM1 OG Anniversary reds in the original box, does anyone know where I could sell them and a rough price, they're worn but in reasonable condition tbh. Or where I can get them restored.

thanks

The og Royal blue does look better and read somewhere they may be getting a release but these are nice too. I'd be throwing them on ebay,vinted or here. Wouldnt have bothered saying vinted but the missus seems to sell everything I say I'm taking to charity shop recently.

StockX is a rip-off though as both the buyer and seller pays fees. You sell something on StockX for £230 - buyer ends up paying about £250 and as a seller end up with about £195 in your pocket.

Whilst the buyer may end up paying extra on top it benefits neither party. You may know that i'm going to pay £250, but I also know that as a seller you're getting less than £200. So there's definitely a middle ground.

By avoiding ebay / StockX and other third parties you can avoid the fees and have more price flexibility although this comes at the cost of authentication (although StockX is questionable anyway) and then the potential risk of being scammed in the transaction (i'm sure you're an upstanding person).

I see the shoes sitting on ebay in size 11 for around £235. Once you take off fees and pay for shipping you'll be lucky to make £15 from the deal.

It's basically why I have recently returned shoes for a refund as it's not worth the time / effort. I did sell my Craft Jordan 4 just because I paid about £8 P&P to acquire them and wasn't getting that back if I returned for refund.

Glad to hear it. You might just have given some folk a chance to buy the shoes they want for retail prices.
