Screw that. Might be exclusive but there's no wow factor in them. Right now, there's nothing cooler and exclusive than Chrome Hearts (sunglasses, jewlery, clothing, etc). |
one would think that it'd be pretty wow if you have a sneaker that was 1 of 500 across the world. I'd be pretty wow at that fact =)

everyone has their liking, i started out rocking dunks but then quickly realized how many kids were rockin them. personally didn't like that feeling all that much so i went to the Air Max line.
JDat and I are probably one of the biggest AM fans on this board.
Also if you are into buying and selling, the image in my link refers to BlueSole.com, soon to launch an auction site ran by and backed by InStyleShoesForums and Sole Collector the magazine. ISS/SC has collaborated into one of the largest online sneaker communities on the net, and now that we have all the key members in the sneaker industry working together to bring this auction site, it'll probably bring over the likes of large ebay sellers and users from NikeTalk as well as ISS. You should cha-check it out....write up will be on Hypebeast and other large sneaker news distribution outlets. Our launch is 09/19 so stay tuned.... |

The dollar amount is based on the exclusiveness of the sneaker. The pigeons for example are part of a world wide "pack" of sneakers representing certain sneaker cities. Tokyo, London, Paris, New York amongst the few who were identified by STPL Designs as a prominent sneaker community.
Pigeons actually caused quite the ruckus here in NYC. The line for this sneaker had gone on for about 3 days worth of camping out infront of the store. Shortly after the sneakers had released, as people were leaving with theirs only to be mugged, stabbed, and even shot for these sneakers. The incident was reported in the news here in NYC.
This is great news to hear FCLA has opened, (as FCNY-FlightClub New York can also be viewed online @ www.vintagekicks.com) as LA has one huge sneaker community.
I for one am a huge sneaker collector so I understand what the fuss is about, but before you start throwing out random insults about pricing, just think what collectors pay for a MJ Rookie Card, or Barry's homerun ball that broke the records, or any collectible memorabelia for that matter. Sneakers are just the same, just that the collaboration with various designers and the amount of sneakers made during that collaboration is what is most sought after. |
lol, I knew you'd show up in here eventually :p |

not knockin ya but 3 for $500 for retro 11s - i hope those aren't part of the DMP (defining moments pack) cuz no way would you get 3 for $500. The pack itself is selling at about $500 for the retro 6s and 11s which of course the 6s are the lesser of the two.
Just want to make sure you got legit kicks cuz there are trillions of fakes Js out there.
Anyways if you did get them for 500, then I say super steal since the 11s are probably one of the nicest Js outside of the 4s, 5s, and OG 1s. great pick up =) |
