Anyone into trainers/sneakers?

[Rawwr]

I might actually ask Nike if I've been blacklisted for some reason. There is blackhole mechanism in SNEAKRS/SNKRS, which vapourises entries from people on the blacklist. To the entrant, it looks like they've entered successfully but in reality they were never on the list.

Why would they blacklist you?

You're the only person on earth who buys their Foamposites!

I'm guessing I've won about 8 out of 50 entries. (No multiple entries via other people or different accounts either).

8/50 is way better than my 0/200.

Maybe I get preferential treatment as they might still have my ClubNike registration from back in the 90s ;-) (Did anyone else have this?, I had a Yellow and blue ClubNike membership card) I think I may still have it somewhere......

It doesn't take much, apparently. The slightest bit of unusual behavior on an account and you're knackered. My email expressing disappointment in my Dunks probably didn't help.

LOL. Foamposites are definitely for the American market aren't they?

Are you being serious? Shame on Nike if you are!

Well, I'm serious that the blackhole list exists but I don't think I've ever given them any reason for putting me on it

When does the new End store open?

Apparently today but unsure as their own social media is showing an empty store i.e. no stock on the shelves (though their blog does say today's date).

Like those man.

Reebok seem to be doing really well at the moment. It looks like they're trying hard to stay relevant.

[roystinho]

Like both reeboks

[Gameface]

Me too. I bought both pairs.

Link doesn't seem to work. I've been posting about the DBZ ones for months in advance! All year I've been thinking to myself how I want to buy a pair of the vegeta ones, but i've seen the recent pics and it's more like 70% yes 30% no.

Never tried any of these newfangled mesh trainers (usually I'm in Converse high tops) so ordered a couple of pairs.

Well I have to say I have never seen such a blatant design rip off in sneakers before.

The bottom ones, in particular, are a carbon copy of the Human Race NMDs. I thought Puma would have been above that... what a shame.

They really aren't, much less a "carbon copy"

Not technically sneakers but does anyone have any idea what these Stone Island trousers are called?
