Nice!

My wife entered her first SNKRs draw ever for those this morning. Of course, she took an L. I welcomed her to the perpetual heartbreak.

This is a really good shoe cleaning kit: https://www.amazon.com/Jason-Markk-Premium-Cleaner-Solution/dp/B00D12KGVW/?pldnSite=1

If anyone has a rec on white polish/cleaner for mid soles, I'd love to hear it.

Depends on the material. For white leather/canvas/ripstop/rubber, you can get 99.9% there with a Mr. Clean magic eraser and some warm water.

For colored, non-suede materials, cloth washing detergent, warm water, and tooth brush is my go to.

For suede, you really just need a soft brush and something to bring back the nap. These erasers as also pretty helpful. Unless you have oil or something on there you're dealing with, I don't find that you need to use any kind of liquid on suede at all.

Also, it's pretty cheap and a better result to just but new laces from somewhere like lacelab if you have really dingy white laces that are otherwise ordinary. If you have specialty laces (like with a fancy tip or something), just soak them in some warm water with a colorsafe clothing detergent.

What an awkward picture. At least let him sit in a chair or something instead of half in a car that's too small

I hated Mack when he was kicking RC's and Fran's ass, but I think Mack is actually a great guy and I hope he wins the ACC every year.

Agree with ALMOST everything you say. The only additional wrinkle for me is that I grew up a Duke fan first, so I hate all things tar heel too. Still find myself rooting for him sometimes.

(I had the same dilemma with Roy Williams on the roundball side of things)

I followed Duke a lot, especially when we were starting the Reed Rowdies. We looked to the Cameron Crazies for inspiration. I just don't have a lot invested in either school and have a cousin at UNC and one at Appalachian State.

Plus, I have to say I've always loved Carolina Blue and argyle.

The shoes in question…trying to get the "white" part white again

You need to treat those bad boys better...

I know I do, they're my favorite pair of shoes

I take the laces and insoles out of ultra's and throw them in the washing machine on delicate. Worked out just fine thus far… now I wouldn't go throwing my new 1's in the washing machine, but for something like ultra's it works great.

And for the record, 90s ship with 54" laces. You can probably size down unless you dig the double tie look.

I don't, they're super long and that's why I did that. But that's really good to know, thank you

I just ordered the shoe cleaning kit so that'll be in next week !

My granddad played football and baseball at Duke so we grew up a Duke family. If I ever wore Carolina blue as a kid I was chastised - I don't have a complete ban on it as an adult though. Having both sides of my family from NC means I also have several cousins who went to App State.

On topic because Jordan obviously made a very poor decision in HS despite eventually becoming the inspiration for the most iconic shoe line ever.

(Will end the derail now. Thanks for the indulgence.)

The tracking of the whole thing was sketchy.

Aug. 18th - inbound scan Houston
Aug. 19th - 7am - out for delivery
Aug. 19th - 9pm - delivery delayed
Aug. 20th - inbound scan Houston

then pretty much nothing until I called today and they said the scan on the 20th meant the driver brought it back to the warehouse in their Houston (south) location. They called me back 20-30 minutes later and said the package could not be located in their warehouse, and the driver had no knowledge of its whereabouts other than he is sure he scanned it back in. I am waiting to hear back from a supervisor at LSO but I won't hold my breath....

Question for the thread.

If I don't hit on the cool grey 11s, I'm going secondary. Let's assume I don't hit. Which is the best option for getting the best secondary pricing:

(1) Buy now before the draws. Price has held right between $315-330 since the shock drops, and is climbing a little bit. Argument: Once people know they lost the draws, they'll flock to secondary and it will drive up the price.

(2) Buy the second the L comes from SNKRS. Argument: Might get lucky on SNKRS or one of the other draws, but probably not. If I buy from secondary as soon as the L comes in, maybe I can hit before people start trying to scoop them up once they lose.

(3) Buy a ways after the draws. Argument: People/bots will flood the market after what looks like it will be a big drop, and might drive the price closer to $300.

The only similar scenario for a huge drop was the Jubilees this time last year. I somehow missed every draw I entered and had to go to secondary. I think the cool greys are much, much more hyped/coveted than the jubilees were.

Thoughts?

Buy now if you really want them. Doubtful prices are going down anytime soon. If you hit on a draw, you can always resell the extra pair.

Agreed on this. If you hit more than once you can resell.

Also my thinking is if you don't hit tomorrow, then wait a while until prices get closer back to $300 like you indicated.

Rumor has been they made a **** ton of pairs so I think a lot of people who really want them will get them

Any of y'all really want these? Post your size and I'll enter for you.
