Saw the news on the chukkas this morning. I can safely say that the risk of those selling out are next to nil.

Just sharing my observation on the Wood Wood UB on-line release on Saturday. They released at 6 a.m. Malaysia time so as I was up early (due to my baby), I figured what the hell ... just try to see if it is actually possible to try to get these on-line. I tried on Slam Jam and Hanon by the way.

To cut a long story short, I honestly don't think it is actually possible to get these on-line for us here. Their servers will crash and by the time it's back up, everything will be sold out.

This got me thinking, why bother releasing it on-line if you don't have the IT infrastructure to handle such a load? I believe users who are geographically closer to the respective sites servers (i.e. UK for Hanon and Italy for Slam Jam) are those who actually stand a chance. Might as well have an in-store release/on-line raffle or something like that to make sure everyone has a fair go at the sneakers.

As for us here, our best chance is a Sole What/Crossover x Adidas collab not too far in the future

man any forwarding service skyrockets the final price

u mean the forwarding company will jack up the final price??
me and my colleagues has been using hopshopgo for the third year already and we never face this kind of problem though
we always bulk order (from various online store/website) then have these merchant send to hopshopgo and one go send back to m'sia
and we saved quite a lot as we always wait for the "EXTRA" mark down or discount then only buy

True. However, for single shoe purchase it becomes not practical as it'll probably cost around USD40 to USD50 to ship.

true... thats y i mentioned buy in bulk...get a few friends who wanna get things online (anything...from attire to sneakers to accessories...) that way it would be far far cheaper...
for example, eastbay having 20%, if we get three pairs of sneakers (take furylite for example) it will roughly weigh (in volumetric) at 6kg
at hopshopgo 1st 0.5kg charges will be USD29, subsequent 0.5 at usd3, so 6kg total charges only at USD62.
share with three friends after currency conversion is ard Rm90 only
the shoe itself after conversion is at RM135, so in total only Rm225
at least in the whole kuching (the city where i lived   i cant even get any of these sneakers at this price...i'm not sure maybe KL has wider range of option to choose from
just imho 

I get what you're saying and you're absolutely correct. However, it'll only be cheaper if you get the sneakers at deep discount from the US. Unfortunately, this is something that's not going to happen to hype sneakers such as UB, NMD, etc. We're just going to accept the fact that we're triply screwed here because of cheap currency, high shipping costs and import duty/GST charges.

Hiya, need some advice here. I really like this Fred Perry shoe but I feel like the price is a bit too much (RM659), its almost marked up by RM 200 as it only retails of 75 pounds in the UK. I did consider buying it online but then it adds to the same price when shipping cost is included. So do you think it's worth the money?

Plus, any recommendations for similar shoe styles, preferably below RM500.00?

Is that the full name? Nike AJ4 White Cement Retro 4 "1989 OG"? Because of that swoosh on the heel tab? I mean its nice, but the materials used are very different from the OGs!
