#WEBSHOPTIME

We added a ton of stuff to the web shop today...as ALWAYS...check our your size chart...




A local boutique in our area dropped the "METALLIC RED" foamposites a bit early and someone dropped them off...the red is more of a "CANDY RED"

SORRY...

We've been extremely busy this week so I apologize to those who haven't received quick responses on email or ebay...we also haven't been sending out too many picture requests as well. Shoes have been moving in and out like clockwork...most of the time the shoes sell before we can take the pics...

Just FYI...while you're emailing asking for pictures or trade requests, someone else is thinking about clicking the purchase button. We can't always respond to email/messages right away so if you really want a particular shoe and don't want to lose out, you should make the purchase.

We will have over 100 new auctions go up this Sunday. We still have hundreds more to add but we won't have time to get them up. We will have a HUGE auction week coming up the second week of February.

We will NOT be accepting anymore trades at the moment from NON LOCALS due to shipping time and the amount of overstock we have at the moment. We will mostly likely start again after we get back from February break...

Thanks again to everyone who supports what we do...

S A T U R D A Y

PHYSICAL SHOP WILL BE OPEN SATURDAY THE 28TH FROM 12 TO 3!

BOXES EVERYWHERE...

We added a ton of items to the web shop today(as always, many are NOT pictured.) Make sure to go through and check your size chart to see what's new. If you see an item on the blog and it is NOT on the web shop, it means that it $OLD!






Still tons of items we have to prepare for auctions...it NEVER stops...I really don't remember the last time we had a clean table and/or floor. We are attempting to get as many auctions up this Sunday as we can(mostly size 12) and we will add re lists on Tuesday(not many this time, thank GOD) and we will NOT have auctions the following week and then have a big auction week starting on the 2/12 which is the next BREAK for the shop.


Thanks to those who continue to support us on the daily...we truly appreciate it. Remember to FOLLOW us on twitter and LIKE us on facebook if you aren't already.

#BOOM & NON PAYMENTS


It's coming...if you wear size 12 stay on the look out. We received around 100+ pairs today from ONE seller. Most in excellent condition or brand new. Most are SB's but there are other random Nike's and Jordan's.

PLEASE READ...

For auctions and payments, you have a total 0f 8 days to pay for an item after the auction ends; BUT of course we prefer payment right away. If you DO NOT pay for ANY reason an unpaid item case is filed with ebay. We DO NOT send cancel requests for ANY reason. We know people run into issues with payment for "X" amount of reasons, we've heard them all but we are NOT responsible for you placing a bid or not having the funds available. We did not take your hand and make you enter amount and confirm your bid. If you DO NOT complete payment you will be BLOCKED from all future auctions. Non paid items stay in our inventory for another 2 weeks minimum!!! 7 days waiting for the payment and 7 more days of re listing them. We attempt to run a smooth operation and non paying bidders DO NOT HELP at all. This doesn't mean you aren't allowed to purchase from us ever again. You can purchase items from our web shop or you can make buy it now offers for items on auctions, you just won't be able to participate in bidding and us taking the risk of non payment. Please HELP US run our business as smooth as possible. If there is ANY REASON you don't think you can make payment, it's simple: DO NOT BID!

PART 3

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

AMAZING...

SMH...IT ISN'T WORTH IT...

EARLY LOOK (NOT EARLY RELASE) CHICAGO X 2012

Our boy who works at an actual RETAIL store was able to sneak a pair of the 2012's out the back door once their shipment came in...LOL...which is now my first personal pick up of 2012...After seeing the shoe in person I give it an "A-" overall for quality. Of course the leather isn't anywhere as nice as the OG's but there wasn't any excess glue or issues I found on the shoes after giving them a thorough inspection...






RUMOR: Most pairs will NOT come with Hang Tag...




Size sticker(these are important)

Stamp of approval...



Another RANT on EARLY RELEASES...

Again...again...and again...DON'T BUY EARLY RELEASES anymore...whether they come from overseas or the US, they all come from the same place...do you think just because they ship from the US means they're legit/authentic/a-grade? The shoes aren't made in the US so how do you think they got here???

A supporter of mine who I've dealt with for years purchased a pair of Concords and Ray Allen's online from a seller who was supposedly "legit" (I didn't have his sizes in stock) and he brought it to my shop to get them checked out because he thought they looked suspicious. After comparing them to the authentic(retail release pairs) there are major differences in the quality of the product.

Checking the carbon fiber plate, space between the 23 on the back heel, jumpman jordan lining up with the 3rd lace loop is NOT a legit check anymore(though it helps)...

All pairs which are APPROVED by JB will have a sticker on the insole(99% of them) with the size and the box will be stamped(pictures above)...however, still check the shoes because some sellers can just switch out the insoles and boxes with actual release products after release date(SHADY!). It's just another way to HELP ensure you have an actual retail release final product in hand.

FACT: 99% of US re-sellers who sell early release products are convinced/think that they are selling A-Grade authentic pairs and can't even tell the difference themselves(the BIGGEST issue). They are just in it for the $$$...All of the overseas companies who wholesale to these people KNOW what they are selling but they can care less...

I don't like calling early release products "FAKE" because "FAKE" is a strong word...they might come from the same factory, early productions, early samples, same materials(well some), etc...but early releases are definitely NOT 100% authentic...maybe 90%...maybe 75%...maybe 50% authentic...they are just "GREY" sneakers...it's really up to you the buyer to decide your thoughts...

I know people are going to go on the comment section and tell me I'm "HATING" on "X" people whether they are sellers or buyers...I'm NOT...Due to the support I have received over the years, I have a voice and I'm using it in the best manner I can...I blog about information I know or have to help inform my true SUPPORTERS of what's going on in this sneaker game...I'm here to HELP...I don't want people who truly SUPPORT us, to spend their hard earned money and NOT get what's expected.

***There "MIGHT" be 1 or 2 early release sites that are actually "LEGIT" in terms of selling shoes that are actually approved by JB/Nike but 99% are "GREY" shoes...

***Tons of "GREY" Cool Grey's, Concord's, Ray Allen's, BHM III's and more are floating around...#BECAREFUL

FACT: If you've noticed, No "BIG TIME" consignment shop like FLIGHTCLUBLA.COM or RIF.LA accepts or sells products months early anymore. Maybe a week or so at most(which is when most retail stores get their shipments). Why is that??? The biggest names in the game DON'T do it and there is a TON of $$$ to be made...Think about it...
