Yeah Onizuka.
I copped them Kermits on the first day they launched lols. Now Dark Horse is in KLCC damn jahat wei the colour damn nice!
Btw, I found out there's this shop in Sungei Wang which sells vintage kicks and all that for quite a bargain, some second hand but most of them brand new deadstock.
A friend of mine copped a pair of Tigers for like RM200+?
That's real cheap.

qhw, you can get the latest release of SB's in Miz, Resident and Zone 5.
They have the black pack dunks and neptune dunks in store now.
No hype, no queue, can get cheap. ;D
As for tweeds, they're probably going for 700 - 1k. Shanghai 1's are 1k and above. Very rare to find cheaper than that. Shanghai 2's are about 600 - 700. Hunters are about 600 - 800.
Ahhh the dunk hype. I can't wait for Sbtg's and Dia de los muertos to drop! ;D

They shouldn't release like for say 25000 pairs for palette 4 and 5.
I think it spoils. They should actually limit 5000 pairs only.
Hrmmm like the leather one in my picture?
I'm letting them go. They are used once and condition, obviously I would give it a 9.9.
No creases at all, no dirt stain on white leather. I think the sole also has only one small dirt stain hehe. Interested, feel free to PM me. Size 8.5 but they fit 9 and 9.5. I'm a 9.5 Dunk sb as well.
OT in the US normally about $85 for mexico 66's. But sometimes you can get cheap clearance sale and they go for as low as $19.90 a pair but not so attractive colourways.
OT in SG is about SGD149 to SGD199. You can get them at LimitedEdt, Sole Central and Star69.
OT in AU is about AUD169 to AUD199. NOT worth it at ALL.

Ahhh ic.
I guess the only way to replace your CT's is to get a new pair haha.
I almost bought the john varvatos x jack purcell while in singapore. damn shop owner didn't want to give me the limited edt wooden box with it then i didn't cop them haha.
I started wearing OT's like quite some time back. Nobody knew or actually seen OT's before in my area. Then the hype spreaded and all of my friends are suddenly buying them from overseas and all. But lately, I've seen alot of ppl wearing it. Anywhere, everywhere you can see it occasionally. I kinda stopped wearing tigers awhile now haha. Rarely put it on.
Music? It's too bad that Libertines had disbanded and babyshambles isn't up to expectations but Dirty Pretty Things is somewhere there. I love the strokes. Oooh and the rakes as well. andandand maximo park!
I think it's time to stop listening to these and start putting on my bape camo parka and ice cream jeans and start listening to teriyaki boyz to keep up with the times haha.

jceh83, I'm sorry if I am not mistaken, those asics are asics. I have not much information and knowledge about them. If it's an Onitsuka Tiger then I can tell you.  It is, very hard to find them. But you might not know, try digging areas in Sungei Wang and stuff you might be able to find a few interesting Asics shoes. If you're really desperate, just head down to Singapore in this Complex called Peninsula. There's quite a number of shoe shops and alot of them are vintage and stuff. Hope this helps. Godevil, those UTT AF1's if I am not mistaken retails for RM399 or RM429 and it's (probably was) available in Nike Culture stores in 1U and The Curve.

Yes, I second BapED.
Get a can/bottle of Timberland Water Protector or you can call it, Suede cleaner. It cost about RM20 something. It's a good one. Definite remove.
Or, you can still stick to the old skool' method, which is, toothbrush and well, water. ;D (But use with ease and care and don't scrub to hard, but i reckon don't because it'll eventually spoil the suede material. Only use on rubber midsoles or leather, depends what kind of leather also.)
On buying shoes online. I've bought a couple before. They are, actually quite costly because of it's shipping cost. Goddamn you FedEx. And also, problems with national posts like USPS, sometimes, things can just go 'missing' and it's very disappointing. Normally, I seldom ship back shoes which is worth more than RM300. Such a risk.
What I did was;
I bought on Zappos.com before. Charge it to my CC. But what I did was I had them sent to a cousin in the U.S., plus Zappos doesn't charge for shipping within the U.S. no matter how many pairs you buy. So it's pretty cool. Zappos.com is a very reliable site to buy from in the U.S. But, they do not carry hyped out kicks and exclusive kicks. They just carry normal kicks, performance and casual. They do not carry Nike as well but they have heaps of other brands.
And then, what my cousin will do with the shoe is, he'll post it back to me through USPS and it only costs like RM50 but it takes a really long time. Sometimes four weeks to six weeks. The chances of them getting lost too, is high. Better to buy insurance when postage.
In another scenario, I bought a pair from Zappos.com, apparently, I bought the wrong size and I went like "oh f*ck"! The shoe had already been shipped to my cousin's place in MN. So what my cousin did was, called up Zappos and told them the situation and voila, two days later, the delivery guy from Zappos came and dropped off the requested size and took back the other pair at NO cost at all. ;D
If the US, I recommend Zappos.com. They do have great discounts as well.
As for Hong Kong, you can get from www.kix-files.com or www.samplekickz.com if you want to get exclusive hyped out kicks but of course they do some with a nice hyped out price tag as well. And, in USD too.
Cheers.

QUOTE(jceh83 @ Jul 9 2006, 09:54 AM) what do u mean asics are asics bro??hehe...i tot onitsuka tigers were from asics..blur edi Hey jceh83. What I meant was that, those Asics you were looking for is a pair of Asics. Not Onitsuka Tigers. Yes OT is Asics and they are the same. But it's the sub-brand for them. It's more like a division between performance and culture. For what it is like Adidas with the /// and Adidas with the three leaf clover? Nike with with the Swoosh only and, Nike with the word Nike and the Swoosh beneath. Reebok with the, Reebok and RbK. Get the big picture? ;D

Lols. Gardener. You can get it from Macropax in Streething for about RM4500 I think.
Anyways goliath, there's someone selling the West Coast Lunars in Streething for RM520 and I say it's a damn good price.

Goliath. You just bought yourself a pair of Court Force Low.
Pangkey. Those Adicolor Palette 6's are only exclusive to Foot Locker worldwide and there is no Foot Locker in Malaysia. The nearest is Australia if I am not mistaken.

There's quite a number of shops in KL selling Onitsuka Tigers now. BB Plaza, Gardens MidValley, Sunway Pyramid but don't expect to see massive varieties, models and colourways.
Singapore's the best place to get any OT's. Every mall probably has at least a shop carrying them with 325412321 styles.
