Don’t give up. Adidas and yeezy Supply Saturday. Also keep an eye on Kith. I’ve already won a pair at finish line in store raffle. I’m anticipating 1-2 more pairs. I will also try on those websites.

Yeah don't feel bad I wasn't even in confirmed app zone haha. JSolano305 is right. I think YEEZY SUPPLY probably easiest way to cop this weekend, just have to be quick. Good luck!

Come on I was just getting over that! Haha

My bank cost me the Semi Frozen Yeezy. They thought it was fraud so they stopped my card from being charged by yeezy supply.

Hmmm no such luck!

4 raffles and then 3 pads and 3 phones on site and still not a single bite, didn’t even get past the waiting room

Wow I’m reading on YM many people copping multiple pairs easy on adidas EU. This was arguably the biggest YEEZY drop ever number wise. I actually won 4-5 pairs easy on digital raffles from footsites. Picking up later today. Gonna try for more when adidas and YS drop.

Well yeah. Getting Rolex is for big boys like us. We don’t have to compete with 16 years olds. Rolex is at another level in comparison to kicks. Now don’t get me wrong. I run a successful business. Been copping kicks since I was 16 now I’m 35. But flipping highly coveted expensive kicks has paid for my Rolex watches :)

Kicks and Ticks

Instead of posting dress shoes or some of my nice loafers I thought I’d go with something different to see if anyone is into boots. I got these Lucchsse Kirkland Elephant Leather boots a few years ago. After I had them ordered I think it was about 6 months before I got them. They are hard to get since the animals are protected and aren’t hunted or anything like that but ones that die naturally. I was told that even poached ones couldn’t be used for leather goods in America. I figure like a nice watch something that will last my lifetime is worth the investment. Just need new soles every now and then. I wear them a lot and there isn’t a single scratch on the leather.

I’ll have to check those out. I’ve not seen them in the US but I like them. I’m also a fan of Orvis Gokey boots. They really aren’t dressy but are fine with jeans or khakis. They custom make them for you and last forever. My dad has had a pair for 30+ years and wears them at the farm almost everyday. Only thing he’s done has been to get new soles.

Nah I got the AM90’s off whites. No secret. I put in my time and effort. Been in the shoe game for 15+ years now. I only mess with raffles by shops that run real fair raffles. Don’t waste my time on rigged backdoor shops that all they want is likes and followers on social media. I also cop manually on many online shops. Adidas. Nike. SNKRS. Yeezy Supply. Kith. Shoe Gallery. Footsites. Many times I’ve paid resale on my kicks but that’s fines as kicks go up up up. If shoe is hyped/limited and I couldn’t cop retail I pay resale. I buy and flip tons of kicks. Doing that I make profits to cop the kicks I truly want and pay resale. It has also funded my 2 Rolex purchases this year. My 114060 and BLNR. I’m a big buyer and reseller. It takes time, patient, and money to be successful in this sneaker game. Many times I have thousands invested in kicks just sitting in my storage accumulating value and when the right time comes I flip. But then again how much interest does a regular USA bank pay me yearly for every $1000 I have sitting in the bank? Absolutely garbage. Nothing. Pennies. I do run a successful business with my father. That’s my daily grind. I live good from that. Can buy my watches from that LoL. The sneaker game is like a hobby to me but an extra income. I’m 35 today with 3 kids. Been in the game since I was 15.
