Little heavy (for me) past weekend:

Nike KD III ASG Retro.

This takes me back. This was before I came to this forum. Had different colorway bought at the time, back when there were things to find at Ross. Doubled up.

Kyrie Low 5
It's the closest I've experienced to the Kyrie 3, which is a pair I like using.
Just struggling with traction atm

Jordan XIII Playoffs
Key essential. Revised toe makes this a really good retro. Glad to say I have all my favorite 13 colorways (Black Toe, Brave Blue Mid, this).

I-95 ACG Foamposite boots for the snow storm

Looking for someone possibly in the NY/NJ area that does reputable repair. Will ship as needed. I have a pair of Oakley kicks that are pristine looking but the sole is separating and they will need to be reglued.

Anyone have any contacts nationwide with a knowledgeable sneaker repair individual?

Sorry if this is an unwarranted name drop, but I think @Chris A Hardaway had a restoration done on one of his Jordans a couple years back.

thanks @Ventruck go check out The Cobblers - Luxury Goods Repair & Restoration Marketplace

The Cobblers in Florida were great quality craftsman. They aren't cheap. At all. But good work won't be cheap. You want to be able to wear them, or restore them to original condition!

Good luck

Yeah Feb 3 was the drop. Still might be in a few places. There's supposed to be a white pair later this year.

That one might be the hotter buy because it might have real leather. I mean this synthetic stuff is not a problem at all when playing, but just superficially it's a bit of a sting to think "oh, I think I'm wearing all plastic".

Original was 2010-2011 season indeed. This red pair was part of an All Star pack that included the Kobe 6 in a red makeup.

I do feel like modern shoes just got better (which is what we'd want to expect), but yeah the KD3 really still does the job. As equipment it's totally up for it.

Nike Dunk By You

Really puts the exclamation point on thinking twice before buying another GR Dunk. had the GR Panda high just to see if it can pass as a beater, but no. I can't believe people are after that (well, the low version). Materials here are eleventeen times better. When this exists, getting those is like ripping yourself off — even if you kinda have to wait until you can unlock this.

I'm not even sure how good of leather it factually is, but just straight up behaves way better period. In the category of shoes that make me want to go outside just so I can wear them. I'm on the fence about any of my AJ1's actually comparing to this.
