my favourite shoe is the AM90’s but I got myself some new Air Trainer 1’s yesterday(yellow/black/”touch” of pink;), and I think I am a bit in love with them…
and AF1 is allso top 5 or something. but DAMN was I out shopping at the wrong time. was shopping yesterday(in oslo, an hour away) but today the two hottest stores got the bobbito hikingpack and the new AFJ12’s…
PS: the shoe I want the most right now is the one piece goretex dunks and my mum actually promised to buy them for me since my birthday’s coming up soon. they are ill!
do anybody know about the size of them? cuz I use 10,5/11 in dunks but dont know about these since they are one piece…

PS. TSG has had a great start to the new year! props to G-roc!

^LOVE the story TM. That’s like a dream come true. Heck, that is a dream come true. The tears of joy…lol

Aint’ nothing wrong with that TM. I have not yet had the pleasure of crying when I find a pair of shoes I really wanted, but I know it’s coming one day.

I’m off to bed, it’s 3:37am in ATL (EST) and I gotta get up at 8:00am for church at the lovely WCCI http://www.worldchangers.org/

I always enjoy the chats in the TSG comments section/forum (lol). Gotta go to sleep TM and TSG fam, and I know I’m on here so much people probably think I live on here and never sleep…lol

Talk you again TM in a couple of hours!

Take it easy,

G-Roc

^^exactly! I was shopping FOR A FRIEND who couldn’t get off work that day….I had to drag my 3yr old daughter out in the rain, but I wanted to surprise my friend with something. The floor directory had “shoes” on it, so I decided to go laugh at the no name kicks dept stores usually have, but they had a GANG of OLD DS Nikes!! I dug thru all of em, and on the bottom I found the Dunks, but in a size 6. My heart broke, until I opened the next box, and they were my size, mint condition, and about $50.00….my daughther started crying cause I had tears in my eyes and she thought something was wrong…..even the lady ringing me up was like WTF?!?! It was a beautiful day!!!

Now that’s what I like to hear. I know that had to catch you off guard. I know you was like WHAT THE HECK! Esp when you found out they had your size. I can’t wait until the day comes when I run into a low key shop and find a massive amount of goodies

Edit: Or should I say I can’t wait until I find ANOTHER low key shop full goodies

Favorite shoes….some co.jp textile Dunks I wanted, couldn’t afford, then found DS for CHEAP 4 years later on accident in a department store I stopped in to get a drink on my way home.

I actually CRIED while I paid for em. No lie.

^G-Roc…Shopping here is insane. It’s almost a hassle picking a spot, cause you know you’re gonna see 20 pairs of kicks you NEED, but can’t afford.
I still feel Harajuku and Shibuya are top spot here. Harajuku has Atmos, ChapterWorld, Superfecta, Flight Club, Underworld, Ltd Edition….these spots alone carry almost anything you could want as far as all the SB’s, New Dunks, etc…..you can still grab the NEIGHBORHOOD X Adidas Gazelles, Visvim FBT’s etc….crazy heat!!
As far as the Mom n Pop shops, they’re the real gems….some of em, I don’t even know the names of the shops. The last one I “found” was the best I’d seen yet. They have a display case with about 15 pairs of OG Jordan I’s with the OG boxes, hang tags, etc….I almost tied some shoestrings together and hung myself, cause I mean, DAAAAMN!! I was going CRAZY!!! They’re all for sale too (about $900 a pair for the beaters, and take the price UP from there….)

On a side note, I know alot of dudes who stock kicks, display em, but end it there (to each his/her own, I got no problem with that.) Just FYI, (most) Japanese sneakerheads wear EVERYTHING they own! If I had a dollar for every pair of OG Jordan I-VI’s, Supreme SB’s, Tiffs, SBTG’s, etc, that I seen some dude wearing in POURING RAIN, I’d be a rich dude!! They don’t care about the condition of the gear or preserving it…..they feel like if it’s hot, they’re gonna rock it until if falls off and enjoy every second of it! My homeboy owns about 100 pairs of kicks, but has his regular 6 pairs of shoes that he wears all the time….here’s what I see him in on a weekly basis: Espo’s, Ueno AF1’s, OG Jordan III’s, SBTG’s, HAZE nozzle top Dunk Hi’s, and some crazy BAPE’s from about 5 years ago. That is CRAZY!!! and it’s not a big deal to most Japanese….they love top tier kicks, and they’re gonna rock em like it’s NOTHING.
Stuff like that makes ya have to keep steppin your game up out here cause if not, you may as well be wearing flip flops…..

^LOL TM, oops my bad…lol

I just try to post what I think will intrest people, and try not to report everything Nike/Jordan.

I too agree with ya’ll, I love to hunt. Before I started TSG I was a sneaker selling BEAST on eBay. The hunts suck when you don’t find anything, but when you do it all good

TM what’s the mom n pop shops like in Tokyo? I bet it’s full of old stock. Also, what’s your fav shoe TM and Jimi? As for me, I love the Air Trainer, esp Trainer SC High

JIMI-I agree….most of what get’s me excited about getting a new pair isn’t even the shoe, it’s the HUNT!! Makes it all the more satisfying when you FINALLY find it!! I’ve NEVER bought off EBay and pretty much only hit the streets to get my shit….G-Roc F*cked me up by posting these badboys so I had a moment of weakness and broke out the credit card
