DOERNBECHER JORDAN 3 RELEASE AT NIKE SANTA MONICA

Went from Carson - Santa Monica - Carson - Long Beach - Carson - Los Angeles(Fairfax) - Downtown LA Little Tokyo - Carson. (Yeah, what-a-day).

Arrived in Nike Santa Monica around 7:ISH AM with Shoe Affliction.

Shout out to Malcolm for actually checking out my blog!! Haha.



A couple of sneaker shots.
Doernbecher Jordan 1's.

Altitudes Jordan 13's. (Can't tell whether it's the 2010 or the OG-Retro)

Possibly one of the most anticipated Nike Zoom Kobe VI - "The Grinch"

Phantaci x Nike Air Max 1 - "Grand Piano".

Berto of Nike Santa Monica handling the raffle.



Kobe Bryant's number. #24.

Raffle begins. Berto actually let's a person from the crowd to pick out the winning number so no bs raffle. All legit.

Yeah, bum rush the guy who's doing the raffle... Hahah.

I wish I had extra money to buy these Free Run+.



Or these Air Zenyth, but they didn't get their shipment. I'm also surprised that they sold out online (Nike.com)

Eh, pass...





Copped.

Still doing the raffle...

Bin23 - Air Jordan 7.

They look so nice!

Esco's dog - Max.

I think Max is looking at me. Haha.

Shoe Affliction won after taking this picture.



Breakfast at a Italian Deli in Long Beach. Got a cold sandwich - Roast Beef and it was good!

Then headed back in Carson and got picked up by Drew and his friend - Javier and Brian.
Went to Dino's (which is located at 2575 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90006) close by USC.
Their chicken has lots of flavor. That spicy tangy sauce which made the fries taste good too!

Then we went to Fairfax & La Brea.
I didn't know that these Stussy x Nike All-Court Mids release that day and had a line outside of Stussy.
They're also selling fast in the store and sold out online.

Black = dope.

White = Not so much.

Clear bottom sole with visible "Stussy" logo.

Went next door to Undefeated to check out their stuff and talk to the employees.
Almost bought myself either a shirt, a beanie or a long sleeve.

Beanie and the long sleeve are nice and affordable, but I don't know about quality wise...


Afterward, went to RIF-LA...

SAMPLE NIKE SB DUNK LOW - KOSTON

Thanks again to Jeff of RIF-LA...

The difference between the released pair and the sample pair is the translucent bottom sole, insole print, and possibly the slight blue fading(?)
Took some pictures with and without flash.




Wallpaper?













Translucent/Transparent.











No insole print. Just regular SB insole.

RAW TO BLEACHED

Alex aka sole10288 did a great job bleaching the Supreme x Vans Era - Raw Denim making them into the Supreme x Vans Era - Bleached that was released a couple of months ago.

TAKA HAYASHI x PENDLETON x VANS SK8-HI & SLIP-ON

ITS ACTUALLY RELEASING

A spy shot of this collection surfaced on the forum awhile back, and now we have found a few nicer shots of the Buffalo Boot, thanks to Swish36 on SC forums. Some rumors have been going around, that the W)Taps leopard sk8-mid is a Japan exclusive, but not sure about the Buffalo Boot. Syndicate never fails to deliver on the goods, and these preview shots are a nice glimpse into the future of Syndicate, despite another rumor! Not much info about these, but samples have been shipped to your local “S” dealers, so if you know somebody, then you better ask somebody!

From: OffTheWallSite Blog.

Previous post of the W)Taps x Vans Syndicate Sk8-Mid Leopard Print and Buffalo Boots.

Definitely copping the leopard print Sk8-Mids and definitely the resellers will hop on these real quick like hot cakes! Possibly asking prices will be around 150+ and it'll be sold out every Syndicate account skate shops right away just like the Black and Navy-blue W)taps Sk8-Mids.

REMEMBER, THEY ARE ONLY AVAILABLE IN VANS SYNDICATE ACCOUNT STORES. NOT A REGULAR VANS!

SAMPLE NIKE SB DUNK HIGH - KOSTON/THAI TEMPLE

During RIF-LA's Black Friday sale, I kept on eying these Sample Nike SB Dunk High - Koston aka "Thai Temple", but I could pull the trigger to buy 'em for 95. Also, a lot of people just kept on passing by it and not even looking at them thinking it's the same as the released pair, but it's not. Haha.
After the cleaning up the store, Jeff was giving out crazy deals. Like 3 pairs of shoes for 120 and those were worth more than 120!! So, I went ahead asked how much...
Eventually I bought them and sold them the next day.

Thanks to Jeff of RIF-LA for giving me a good deal on 'em!

The only difference between the samples and released pair is the back part of it.











The back part for the released pair, it has that grid type of patterned on 'em and it doesn't have that stitching under the tip of the swoosh.
