nice, that's pretty hot i'm sure you know this, but just remember that air/light oxidizes the shoes faster when they are out of the box over a long period of time. it's happening to 2 of my pairs already my AF180's white swooshes on the sides are slightly yellowed now from being out of the box for almost 2 years now, and the midsoles on my suede oxide dunks are getting a little discolored from being out for a while.

Lol does it really matter it's not like they'll get a prize. But I would say March because that's when he got them.

Those spy vs spy pumas are siiiiiick. Those get my vote for kicks of the month. Not sure if its the hype, but I reaallly like those, and I'm not a big fan of pumas.

I just bought those. My deal on some Shy Pink SBs fell though. I was sad, those are serious heat.

Im sort of kicking myself for not waiting for another pair of shy pinks though. Oh well, Im definitely going pink/silver box baller status with my next purchase, hopefully some blue avengers if Im lucky.

Or Supreme Hi's. I was thinking about picking some up but I've got more important useless things to spend my monies on.

Like Dolce & Gabbana eyeglasses.

Yeah Supremes are expensive but awesome and Irons are starting to get expensive now too.

From what I can judge, I can expect to play around 130-160 for VNDS Irons. I plan on rocking them so I can do NDS stuff.

Ah I see yeah NDS is usually cheaper than usual on rarer Nike's. But I'd rock DS Supremes if I actually bought them.

Good man! I couldnt stand to keep any sneaker DS unless I had 2 pairs. If you do go for supremes, get the blue ones, they look best.

Haha yeah I'd really be happy with any of them. But I doubt I'll be buying any shoes anytime soon, maybe like one pair of CR's but that's it.

Yes they do. If you find the shoes at Nordstrom and they refuse to price match, I'll take a copy of my receipt and you can show them its from Nordstrom.

Sadly the toebox and the lace part aren't cracked leather like that. Only the heel.

I like those. Some of the non-sb Highs are looking good lately, but not good enough to steer me away.

Didn't end up going to Austin today so I'll probably pick up a new pair of CR's after I pay for my D&G glasses.
