Holiday Pickups and Customs

Well turns out i've gone crazy while being home for the holidays. At first I was online just looking at some releases from the past. I stumbled across these graffiti court forces of which I remember I wanted. I checked ebay and low and behold I found a first time seller who was just learning ebay and wasn't selling for a profit. She was selling these kicks for $2. I bought them and to this day I can honestly say it was the best nike purchase ever.


I then purchased the AF12's; a jordan and air force fusion. I was crazy about them for a while because of the clear blue sole so I finally decided I wanted to pick them up. I got them from flightclubla.com which was great, they have a lot of great stuff but the prices can be steep. Anyways I bought them but before they even arrived I found myself on ebay randomly one night and typed in the shoes i've been wanting for a while; the mork and mindy dunk highs. I found them for a steal of $93 total which was great. I bid on them not thinking I would win, and I went to bed (it was late). I woke up and to my surprise I had won.

This started a sneaker purchase frenzy. I then simultaneously checked two websites for some shoes I wanted for a while and ones I just found out about. The first website I already knew about but never checked was the ISS forums on Sole Collector. This is a must for any sneaker addict. The second website I stumbled upon while searching for a particular shoe. This was premiumlacesny.com. The shoes I wanted for a while were the Chad Muska Skytops 14k of which only 1000 were released. I purchased them from a man in Canada. They turned out to be size 8.5 so I purchased another pair from a girl in new jersey. These were considerably cheaper. The second pair I recently found out about were the ronaldo dunk lows which were released to resemble his cleats during the 98 world cup. They were actually on sale at premiumlaces so that was a bonus.

I also bought one hat that I wanted. I was never really into hats but recently decided I would give them a try. They are both sneaker pimp hats which is a touring show that travels around and displays everything that has to do with sneakers; from customs to rare kicks, anyways they made some crazy hats that I was a fan of so I bought them.

Just when I promised myself I was done buying for now I got back on the computer and bought three more pairs. The first was one of the best gold box releases for the sb's that has come out and that was the skate or die dunks.

The second pair was from a movie that I has always loved; White Men Can't Jump. They are the Billy Hoyle Hyperize's, they even have a tye dye insole to match his hat from the movie.

Then I couldn't help it when I saw that factory 413 still had a few pairs of the supra skytop 2's in stock. There were only 413 released. This colorway is the exclusive one with the gold and black patent leather.
