    Love StockX, especially when you can find things under retail.

    Totally agree! I can't wait for my new kicks to arrive!!!
    Remember those "Taxi" Nike's I showed you?  

    You won't find them on Stockx.

    I believe Flight Club is closing down so StockX is the new wave.

    Yea, StockX and GOAT are driving the traditional re-sellers out. Which to me is a good thing because of their usually way overly inflated pricing. You do still have eBay, but I don't deal with it as there are many sketchy buyers and sellers on there.

    That is why FC was great.  You knew they were authentic.

    I was going to start a business where I would authenticate Jordans and attach a tamper proof tag to them.  I never went through with it but I though it was a neat idea.  Maybe I could have made money on that, who knows?

    I remember Lebron doing this when he was wearing the 6's.  This became my favorite shoe and my favorite player after watching him give his kicks to a kid fan.  I believe they were the Chalks which has become my favorite Lebron colorway.

    It really is great that the pros are doing this.

    Again?

    Actually I do like this but they, NIKE, is killing their brand.  They need to not make these every few years and keep people frothing for them.

    On the other hand I love that I can pick a bitchin retro up every few years.

    This is going to be the OG Black Cement IV with NA on the back. The BC IV with the jumpman on the back was last retroed in 2012. So it has been 7 years.

    Fellas, I love my new Jordan 3 Retro Chlorophyll's.  They arrived last week and look sweet!  Now, I'm scared to wear them outside. ;)

    Wear em and pick up a second pair for later.  They won't ever be a ton of money.

    Enjoy them!

    Similar colors, the McEnroe shoes had the big black strap over the bottom laces.

    Love these shoes.  Been wearing those a lot lately.  It's nice that they're not super white so I'm not afraid to wear them outside...

    Kanye was killing it when he made Nike Yeezys then when he went over to ADIDAS and killed it some more.

    The younger crowd digs what the stars are wearing so hence the Yeezy phenomenon.

    They've over produced them so there is a slight fallout right now.

    I get that kids will want anything a star sells, but they’re still ugly fuckin shoes. You’d think common sense has to kick in at some point.

    I’ve questioned what people like for years. Then again I question what I like too, lol. 

    What do do you think of these?
