Nooooooooooooo

according to the Head of Counterfeit Investigation at Nike, Sneaker Freaker Mag and a large list of legit retailers, a MASSIVE percentage (around 90 - 95%) of Nikes on eBay are FAKE

If the Nikes are fake then it's pretty safe to say the other brands will be too

I'd never buy kicks off eBay if I wanted the real deal

www.pickyourshoes.com - US website, but they deliver really quickly and can get great deals. I bought a mad pair for Joe which ended up only costing $135 incl shipping.

Napisan + Toothbrush + 1 Hour = Clean Kicks

I swear by footlocker sneaker cleaner. Foamy shite that you leave on for about 10 mins, wipe off and then use toothbrush.

No sweats are hella uncomfortable, hurt my feet real bad. Plus they just don't last..... at all.

Post by **breaksRbest** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 11:20 am

such a waste of a good idea/concept

If the shoes were actually any good they'd be very popular

mixtress · Post by **mixtress** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 11:57 am

I almost tried on a pair of these at the Mind Body and Spirit festival but the hippiness of the place was making me nauseous.

I'm curious though, cause my back's fucked. They're ugg to the max but if they're good for me I might give em a go.

Oi, I was being respectful in my disagreement. At least I didn't make fun of your choice of kicks unlike some people around here.

And it was Mr Happy, thank you very much......smiley faces indeed *grumble*

when you feel lost, you can always turn to someone for guidance.

as it is written thus, "buy 3 pair, one to wear, one to store and one to lose somewhere in your house"

Yeh, thought i loved the polka dotties but on close inspection a bit blah. And those 90s are missing something. In love with the new stabs that have come out... Bright yellow ones... no more sneakers for me for awhile. Still need a pair of the Infrareds tho... To xy tho... mmmm sneakers

Looks shit with something on them, got someone in the US who comes back about 3 to 4 times a year, gonna be back in just over a month.

Plus I wanted a pair of the Infrareds, not that its exactly the same, the tick is white compared to dark grey on the originals.
