Do we know if the Bel-Air Vs are getting released in Australia.?

And wtf is with the Weathermans being dropped on a Friday!?!

Also ANOTHER pair of Vs on the 31st in the Fire Reds being dropped....! 3 Jordan drops in 3 weeks is fking ridiculous, isn't it??

hey guys I know nothing about kicks but really like the barkley-posites in the blue/silver colour.
My questions are:
Are they rare/limited?
Are they ok to actually play in? (or collect type)
Where in Melbourne would I be able to get them?

Sorry for being a noob, thanks to anyone who can help!

West Oz Cards · Aug 22, 2013

Not really rare or limited, but I'm not aware of how many pairs were released in Australia. (if any at all)
I'd hazard a guess and say that original retailers (US) are sold-out as they came out over 3 months ago, but there are still pairs to be found on eBay, SoleCollector.com, and various others.
As for being ok to play in... that depends on what type of shoe suits your game.
Best I can say is get them, then if you don't like playing in them, you can always just casual wear them.. they are awesome looking thats for sure.

Really appreciate the advice mate, might go try some different pairs over the weekend to get a size average if I have to purchase online.
Thanks again

Yeah just seen that today with the Weatherman's, fucking me right up with work committments. Can't believe how quickly they are bringing out everything now.

It's killing my speaker passion to be honest. All the hype train is pushing out way to many retros. I'm pretty much giving up on my BBall sneaker collection and sticking to my Nike SB's (even though the hype train is building on them again).

^^^ Same think i might just stick with Reebok B-Ball shoes

West Oz Cards · Aug 23, 2013

What's your opinion on the LeBron XI's?

I like the design, its very different. The 'parachute gold' colourway looks nice, but not overly fussed on the reds. Will definately grab a pair when they drop.

I'm really REEEEAALLLYY hanging out for the Reebok Kamikaze I's...

Mr Paparazzi · Aug 23, 2013

Only Reeboks i like are Shaqnosis and Pumps otherwise they're shit. Love foams and J's for me.

Rodman91 · Aug 23, 2013

What about Kemps and Iversons?

Not a huge fan of Kemps or Iversons. Only like one of AIs.

West Oz Cards · Aug 23, 2013

Both the Kamikaze's are a brilliant design, but IMO Reeboks' hexalite technology is not as comfortable or durable as most Nikes' Zoom or Air.
Infact the most comforatble shoes I've EVER worn were the Penny I's with the front part being zoom sole and the heel being air max sole. Closely followed by the Nike Air Flight 96's with a full length Zoom sole as linked below. This year, these have been my shoe of choice which I've been wearing day to day.

If they were US11, they'd be on their way to me right now!

Rodman91 · Aug 23, 2013

I love the Kemps cant wait for them to come out.

PS i have those Nike Zooms great shoe. Got them cause Penny wore then at the Olympics

Yes, infact you probably know they did the Penny USA release of the Flight 96 with the number 6 (his USA jersey #) sewn in gold in the back of the heel.
I had a pair of these in MINT condition... then I went on holidays a few years back and my retard brother thought he would help himself to a pair of my shoes for the weekend to go out in... when I returned from holidays they were half trashed. Sort of looked like this pair.. noe on eBay.. lol

For me Lebron 9 Elites are one of the most comfortable Bball kicks I've had of late with the Max air heel and zoom front. The CP3 VI's are beasts aswel, break your own ankles in them with the amount of traction they offer haha

Mr Paparazzi · Aug 23, 2013

For ball I cant go past Adidas D Rose 3 and 3.5 and sprintwebs.

After tearing my achilles in the army I need the support but also the lightness that doesnt restrict my movement etc.

muzikandme · Aug 23, 2013

I play in jordan 13's and I must say they are probably the second most comfortable shoe iv played in my number one would be the huarache 2k5's I wore them till they basically fell apart!!

twizz · Aug 23, 2013

I usually have a rotation of Kobe 1's, 4's, 5's and 6's but have been on a hot streak wearing my Bred XI's and Spacejams for the last 2 months so sticking with them until my shot goes cold
