OMG both of those are great shoes. Black spy's are better to me but the grey ones are just as great.

Loving both Spy v Spys. I think I actually like the originals more though, I might have to get into this whole Puma thing.

I've been out of this thread for awhile, but I ordered a couple of new pairs of NB's today that will be photographed upon arrival.

Oh, and my new sig will really only be funny to the people in this thread.

Apparently the 11/12 23 collection package will include the SPACE JAMS and white/red playoff 12's definitely a must have for me...I kno this excites someone else. Also OG I's Hi's *with the strap* are to release this Dec., and they won't be in a package. I'm so happy I can't see straight.

Ok, I know these aren't kicks, but rather than start a tees thread, I thought I'd just toss them in here. I'm sure it's all the same people who'd care anyway.

I checked out a store in DC (Georgetown) today called Major. It's a tiny crowded cluttered little store, but they stock The Hundreds, Rogue Status, Alife, etc.., and they are also a Tier One (ST33) New Balance retailer, Adidas Consortium, and so on.

Check out their website here:

http://news.majordc.com/

I thought I'd pick up a few tees, so here they are:

This The Hundreds tee is currently sold out on their website in every color but "banana", and I really wanted black. Luckily Major had me covered:



Next up is a Once Upon a Time shirt that, AFAIK, Major had specifically designed for sale in their store, although it is now also available a couple other places:



Last and anything but least is an offering from the newly-revived Alphanumeric. I am the first person in DC to own this shirt, as they had to cut the box open and put the SKU in the computer just to sell it to me. I am a HUGE Alphanumeric nut:



There you have it. I'll be heading back to the store in a month or so to pick up some other stuff, so I'll try to get pics of it all then. Additionally, I'll be heading over to the DC branch of Commonwealth as well as our new Stussy store.

And who knows, I might even post some sneakers next time, lol.

Haha nice, I saw your post on Zilvia but I didn't think it was you. Major from what I've heard is a pretty good spot. I really want that Alphanumeric tee though.

Also you're probably right about making a separate fashion thread. It would also attract too many haters.

Major is a cluttered messy-*** store, but the people are friendly and they have everything I'd ever want to buy except for Kikstyo, which is impossible to find anyway. As for the Alpha tee, I'd like to eventually have one of each of the spring 08 designs, just to have the whole line from their first year back in awhile. I'm a nut.

I don't know why it would, either. It's not like it's some gay emo shxt, it's just cool t-shirts, who doesn't like cool t-shirts? Calling it the "fashion thread" probably wouldn't help though, lol. That title makes me think of manpurses.

Anyway, I've got a bunch more stuff enroute to me in the mail, 4 more tees and a pair of 574's. Hopefully it'll get here soon so I'll have something else to post about.

Awesome that this thread has stayed alive.

Unfortunately, there are haters on every forum so it wouldn't matter unless the shirts had something to do about cars, haha.

Why not fashion thread? I like fashion, everytime someone asks me why I buy so many clothes I say "I like fashion." Nobody thinks I'm gay or fruity.

Also I went to the San Antonio Sneaker show on Sunday and damn got to see a lot of shoes I never would have seen unless I bought them. Saw Visvim's, rare Jordans, and other rare Sb's.

I finally got my much-coveted 574 Family Marts yesterday in the mail.

Couple posts about these on like page 2 or 3 of this thread, IIRC.



I'm not sure why the pic came out so dark, lights were on in the room. Anyway, I <3 these. I'm debating whether or not I want the 7-11's and the AM/PM's to complete the set.....but probably not.

I was really happy with them. They look great in person, much better than in that crappy photo.

I just went back and re-read this thread from the beginning and saw the 7-11's again. I AM sorta starting to want those, but I've been on a real bender recently with the NBs/tee's and I need to stop myself. Hopefully they won't turn into unobtainium in a few months.

I need to try and find those TH x Gravis kicks you posted awhile back.

Does anyone like Onitsuka Tigers? Anyone own any? I'm thinking of trying some, they look cool in the blue/green/white.

Yeah did those TH x Gravis shoes ever come out? I want those myself.

I want this certain pair of Onitsuka Tigers that I saw last week but I can't find them now.

*edit: These

Don't think so, and all blog entries just say "later this year".

I just emailed TH and asked, figured it can't hurt. I might honestly even buy the luggage, because I need sweet luggage.

Those tigers are sweet. I was looking at these:

Oh I saw those, too. I wouldn't mind those at all, anymore colorways?

Also check out Kanye's personal Nike's. Word is that they will make a public run. I'll get 'em definitely.
