This Week In Sneaks

678 days ago - by George Kiel III - 59 comments

Although the “Flint” Air Jordan 13 will supposedly drop during the 2010 holiday season, the Nice Kicks shop has made a way for you to get your hands on them today! If you’re in Austin, head over to the Nice Kicks shop for the Air Jordan 13 “Flint” 2005 Retro Re-release today. Phone orders will be accepted beginning at 12PM.

During the 2008-2009 NBA season, we witnessed every Jordan Brand member rocking the Jordan Jumpman Team Pro at least one time. However, this year, we have only seen a couple of Jumpman Team Pros. Check out Denver Nuggets center Johan Petro’s Jumpman Team Pro PE.

Many of you seem to love the Foamposite material on anything these days. Therefore, what are your thoughts on the “Foamposite” Air Jordan 1 Retro?

The Nike Air Max LeBron VII is arguably LeBron’s best sneaker to date; yet, there is a lot more to look forward to from Nike and LeBron James. This week, LeBron James signed a new deal with Nike.

Lately, Nike and a couple of other brands have been releasing sneakers that feature a classic, old-fashioned, vintage look (see Air Jordan 1 Retro KO). Some of you have stated that the worn-out look is a breath of fresh air, while others wouldn’t dare touch a sneaker that comes with an already-worn look. State your opinion after viewing our, Is the Stained Sole a Clean Look?

    • http://Nicekicks.com JessTheTexan

      Hey Riddla where are you getting your Flint 13′s? I’m very disapointed, I got up at 5 and got there at Nicekicks early, I was 4th in line when they told me they sold out. If you can help me out man I appreciate it.

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/dmvsneakerfreak dmvsneakerfreak

    Is Nicekicks the only place selling these early? I'm in MD and calling seems like a longshot!

    • fhfhgh

      "early" you do know these are from '05 right
      & MD might as well go to NY & find a pair

      • dmvsneakerfreak

        Yeah I saw that after i posted my comment… Didn't read the thread all the way thru… Thanks for th suggestion though… I am prolly better off waiting or going to NY like you said.

  • Friggeddy Fresh

    This is useless…I have been calling back to back since 12 with two different phones!!! BUSY SIGNAL!!! This is gay y dont they have more than one line?

  • Bullshat

    I called 100 times since 11:57…..all busy signals…..Nicekicks, how about you buy more than one phone….what a waste of time

  • Bullshat

    I called 100 times…really 100 times and it was “busy” all 100 calls….NICEKICKS, how about buying more than one phone and hiring more than one person….what a waste of time!!!!!!!!

  • el snizo

    they sold out already i just got thru

  • el snizo

    how the fuck you sell out before the people in line get a pair?

  • riddla713

    oh well, im just going to use my money on some lebron vii ctk's. i already have a ds pair of these 05 flints i just wanted 1 more so i could have a piar to rock. maybee one day soon we will be able to place on-line orders with nicekicks.

  • cg201

    OMGGGG it rang and then i clicked by mistake >=|

  • edddie

    just got through and was told they sold out before people in line could get em.

  • Dr. J2006

    There must only be 1 phone line. Ive called 20 times and the line stays busy!!!

  • Dr. J2006

    How many pairs did they really have?!?! They may have only had 3 pair in each size. What retailer really has a complete size run from a release from 2005??? Nice Kicks should not have even posted this release for availability for phone orders…. This should have been an in-store purchase only…. I guess I'll hit up ebay as long as long as the mark-ups arent insane…. If not, I'll cop in the winter when the general release drops….

  • cg201

    they PICKED UP the guy said they sold out before everyone on line could get them AND the 13s they had weren't 2010 release they are a vintage stock they had from 2005 which is even better but sucks i couldn't get a pair … so don't waste your time calling.

  • Vegas Chris

    Got mine thanks nice kicks size 13 there the 05′s dope
    for sure my new kicks spot great customer service and there fresh ass F*%K!!!

  • el snizo

    they hype up a release and nobody in line gets a pair???

  • j. ViLLA

    Got thru the phone line. They said they are sold out and not everyone in line were able to cop a pair. sucks.

  • Foams

  • IsaacBOSS

    • Dylan

      you trying to sell them?

  • Dr. J2006

    I still love Nice Kicks, but if you don't have enuff kicks to sell to the people in line, don't bother to make them available for phone orders. Also, y'all gotta get more than 1 phone line!!!

  • CRIME13

    DAMN, NO ONE EVER PICKED UP THE PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THESE WERE ONE OF MY FAV'S FROM THE 05 RETROS!!!!!!

  • geovanny dominguez

    took that last 8.5 and 9 drove from Houston man it was cold but matt took care of everyone brought us blankets and mac d's lol

  • Flatsole

    Damn, they had 42 pairs too.

    • cg201

      hopefully they set aside a few pair for phone orders

  • riddla713

    oh well, im just going to use my money on some lebron vii ctk's. i already have a ds pair of these 05 flints i just wanted 1 more so i could have a piar to rock. maybee one day soon we will be able to place on-line orders with nicekicks.

  • http://Nicekick.com J. Paul

    Had a pair of them before… Designs & looks are nice but abit heavy & traction’s not that good. I’d slip & slide all the time. If your into collecting & fashion, it’s highly commendable but if you’re a baller I don’t think this will work for you. & God the price tag!!! Damn!!!

  • http://solecamp.com Dylan

    @el snizo I think he meant "everyone on line" as in everyone on the phone lines…Not everyone on a line in front of the store.

  • Matthew C.

    I dont know why people are bitching about the phone line you should be happy they considered you guys that don't live in texas. They probaly just put that phone line thing just in case some of there sizes didnt sell but everybody should know they would sell out because who wouldnt buy those 13s there pretty much a steal for 175 and there ds and from 2005.

  • skeptik23

    drove from houston i was first in line…matt and nicekicks staff held it down they had at least 30 plus pairs…dont get no better than that…thnak you matt,greg and everyone else for sellin them for only $175 cant wait for the next release………..

  • Flatsole

    Y’all a bunch of whiners. NK does something to benefit the community( selling BELOW market prices) and you complain that they don’t have enough pairs? Call the whambulance, Christ.

  • http://twitter.com/sole_hearted @sole_hearted

    NiceKicks nice looking out. Its was a fun experience once again i havent did the camp out thing in years, I felt like a lil kid again out there with the fellows hanging out talking sneaker talk i had a blast. Matt swung through brung the crew blankets then dropped us breakfast burritos,coffee and hot chocolate. Honestly if you didnt show up and withstand the cold breeze for hours you didnt deserve to get a pair although matt said they would do phone orders. Things happen things change people its life live with it, I bet you will be there on the next release.

  • http://twitter.com/sole_hearted @sole_hearted

    No matter the situation you will have people whos going to hate on you but prevail over them and be the better person. After i payd for my kicks I lookd around the shop for a bit before i left and on my way out the guy that was at the door letting us out asked me to sell him my kicks i had on my feet which were my BRED 13s OGs from 1998. I was like no man im not,going to sell my kicks i said i had apair of the 2003 retro 3 cements in my car if he wanted those. He thought i said $300 bucks and he said man you already wore them and i said i wasnt talking about these on my feet i was talking about the 3s but i never quoted aprice.

  • http://twitter.com/sole_hearted @sole_hearted

    Anyhow a guy that was still standing in line to try to get a pair of kicks who hadnt been there as long as alot of us other guys said as i was walking away man he want sell you his kicks tell him he gone have to run to his car. As i walkd to my car i thought for sure this guy was hating because he hadnt been there as long as everyone else he missed the blankets and breakfast and now he might not even get a pair of flints then i thought he dont know who i am. Ive put in too much time over the years in the shoe game for a knucklehead to even assume that you could ever take something from me that i have earned. People need to have respect and show respect, a person like me is more opt to give a person something if you ask or help you out in some form if i can. Sole_hearted…hope to see some of you guys on the next release if i can make it.
