nb fans, any idea if the IMM's factory outlet stocks the classics like 576 and 1300 ?

Still deciding whether to wear or sell them.

What brand? What model? What size?

interested to get a pair of converse/everlast canvas shoe, any sales now?

 

[bryando]

Sorry to say this is not anything close to limited edition. Saw plenty of left over stock all over every Nike store in Taipei last month. In fact plenty of stock for all the YOTS Nikes over there, including the Kobe Black Mumba YOTS Bomber Jacket (damn nice but pricy).

To be honest I was eyeing this myself but change my mind after seeing the actual thing. Picts looks much better than the shoe itself.

Take a look if u have the chance, its a personal choice. I just find it looking a bit plastic and heavy as well for the real thing. Personally prefer the below, snake Zoom Huarache. But then note that all these are widely released all over the world, so they do not count as limited edition.

And oh, the so called "very limited quantites" of Kobe 8 YOTS that was brought in by LE recently; ****load of stock since January all over in Taipei.

alot of these can be found in large quantities overseas.

the problem is that in sg only LE brings them in a few only and calls it limited and charges a damn premium.

sigh, no choice.

Hooting this for my gf. Been many years she wanting a pair but all the while can't find a nice pair.

To be fair, LE does not really mark up on the prices. I just dont really like it that most of the time they are simply bringing in stocks that are easily found or over-stocked in overseas and call themselves "limited Edition" as such.

90% of LE's stocks are actually like left-over over-stocks from the regional region. The remaining 10% are direct release that they get from Nike/Adidas/Reebok, but then again most of the time these stocks are like arriving 1-2 months after other countries, except maybe 1 or 2 releases here and there.

Taiwan/Taipei has good stock, but their markup cn be quite scary at times. But if you know where to look, you may still find some good deals compared to the risk of resellers on Ebay. Just saw some Yeezy 2s over there going for about 2K SGD, which is a better price compared to ebay and minus the risk.

Best is still Japan, really good limited stuffs, good pricing and highly reliable shops too.
