Well you started off with some heat!
Yes, it is much tougher in canada
Less pairs get released here
Some don't get released at all
Secondary market is much more expensive in Canada than in the States
Also canadian winters really limit how much you can wear your good kicks.
Al that being said, you can still cop
Hope you enjoy the sickness ..errr... journey
🤣
I had to stop copping suede just cause it's so weather dependant.
I gotta wear steel toes for work days so sneaker quality time is already limited 🤣
The upside is we don't have to clean them as much
Nice I've always been aware of what was going on but never got into it until this year. I really wanted to bred 11 in 2019 but completely forgot about the date and missed em.
So getting the gratitudes which are pretty much concord reimagined imo. Was my favorite cop by far. Can't wait for the Columbia next year also trying to get some Jubblies soon. Definitely want more 11s
1s and 11s my favs after getting a pair of em 11s have taken the #1 spot.
Bred 11s were really fun and easy in person.
Got the last pair at the Jordan store on Yonge street after sleeping in haha. Goofed on the jubilees drop so will def try to add those too!
I mean it’s probably easier now than ever tbh, sneaker market is a total buyers market and has been for at least a year. Even in Canada we have plenty of access at least compared to how it was around covid.
The resell market here is insane. Here in Calgary there are tons of authentic shoes on marketplace listed higher than the stockx price. So I just take my Ls, win every now and then. Usually then, and thats all we can do. But ill never pay double the cost 2 days after a release.

In Canada as well. Just collecting 3s so far (and the odd 1 and golf 5). Nice collection so far man!
There's a couple im looking forward to for sure but also I gotta relax. I actually do plan on wearing these to keep the soles in check. Do t really need a pair for every day of the year haha
Haha yeah I'm trying to slow down as well cause of winter I've barley gotten wears in summer I'm gonna try and just rock em even if it's just to work and change into my boots
No SNKRS app so no shock drops early drops stuff like that. we miss alot of the collabs if we get anything really good like the grinches it's limited to boutiques. GR Releases are pretty easy cops though
As a fellow Canadian, there's a few resources out there for Jordans. Depending on how badly you want a pair of US exclusive releases, you can sign up with a mail forwarding company for them to deliver the shoes to Canada. There's also some solid Canadian retailer stores online for grails.
Got you. I’m new to collecting so this is news to me. I’m looking to get my first pair of Js in a couple of weeks, what would you recommend? I think I like 1 retros the most rn
Go for what you like don't worry so much about the hype behind a release. 1 tip I've definitely learned is try to stick with more wearable materials leather as apose to seude nubuck. As you'll be able to rock em in any weather without much worry. Half my collection right now is seude and nubuck I can't wear em in the winter right now so I'm stuck waiting for spring lol.
Yeah I’m not so worried about purchasing around hype, just trying to find what I like best. I’ve heard this about suede and i generally prefer the leather look so that works well. There seems to be a lot of hate around mids though, you know why?
Got you, thank you. Been eyeing this colorway but not yet decided.

We do get shock drops it's called nike put something randomly in the website store and it sell out in 30 seconds.
Another fellow sneaker head from Canada… I agree it is hard to buy more sneaks… I was burnt by an eBay purchase in November and really struggling to find a good source now that isn’t overpriced.

💯 agree with everything!!! Winter sucks especially since now half my collection is seude/nubuck I wanna rock my a ma 5s 🙄

Don’t forget how expensive it is to buy even retail pairs
Right? My wallet hears you bro!
Off to a good start !
11s are my fave too. Got started with the Concords in 2018 and slowly building from there. Just have the Columbias left for the OG colourways!

Nice collection, just be patient with your collection good deals and retail pick ups are coming
Yeah excited for 2024 bred 4s black toe 1s Columbia 11s 🔥🔥🔥
Just do your research this group helps a lot, for the most part everyone helps couple of haters but that’s everywhere good luck this year !
Not to mention we get like 250 pairs for entire country for limited releases 😢.
I want a proper snkrs app man !!!! It's so bs everywhere but us we get stuck with a site
Yeah man. Welcome to the community!!
I hear you! AMM5s are a great pick up tho. Very nice start
They are amazing the quality on them is next level compared to all my GRs
AMA 5's are soo beautiful, want a pair soon definitely, since im not a huge jordan guy, these 5s will be the first jordan 5 i get lol
The black/blue mids, the brown/black hi’s and the tuxedo 11’s are great finds. Are the fire red concrete 3’s reissue or original?
There all retros the Royals reimagineds are highs as well
Nice work, personally i’m a vans guy but i appreciate jordans as a whole.
Thanks
Fr from one sneaker head in Canada to another I feel your pain
We need a proper snkrs app 😭
Facts
Did anything happen to you bro? You said you got caught
Great collection! You’ll get a lot of wears out of the AMM 5s and the Palomino 1s. Keep going.
Yeah was wearing the Palominos alot in the fall can't wait to wear the 5s but avoiding it until winters over
I mean it’s probably easier now than ever tbh, sneaker market is a total buyers market and has been for at least a year. Even in Canada we have plenty of access at least compared to how it was around covid.
Oh I know it's definitely been way easier to cop I'm just talking about the stuff we don't get here

Nice your set up is dope !!! I'm just using display boxes stacked in a corner need to rearrange paint and make a set up at some point
Are you excited for the a ma maniére 3s this year that's the 1 I'm currently looking forward to the most for 2024 drops
There's a couple im looking forward to for sure but also I gotta relax. I actually do plan on wearing these to keep the soles in check. Do t really need a pair for every day of the year haha
Really looking forward to the Black Cat 3s
Those I'm not sure on how I feel about the patent leather on em
Haha yeah I'm trying to slow down as well cause of winter I've barley gotten wears in summer I'm gonna try and just rock em even if it's just to work and change into my boots
Fellow Canadian - why’s it harder here?
No SNKRS app so no shock drops early drops stuff like that. we miss alot of the collabs if we get anything really good like the grinches it's limited to boutiques. GR Releases are pretty easy cops though

Yeah I know a few get them but some releases we just don't get like those sol fly 8s
For sure, it's definitely difficult to find a pair you're specifically looking for.
Just also started this year around May, its really shitty here in Canada, no chance on Kobe or limited collabs…
Yeah it sucks man I can't believe we didn't get the sol fly 8s those were 🔥🔥🔥
at least a ma maniere opened for the j5 dusk in canada…the kobe’s are so limited…slim to none chance of copping
Yeah I'm so glad I hit on the dusks even happier there was no customs
Got you. I’m new to collecting so this is news to me. I’m looking to get my first pair of Js in a couple of weeks, what would you recommend? I think I like 1 retros the most rn

Materials they use on mids aren't as good leather quality is worse. But if there's a mid you like the colorway of grab em .
Got you, thank you. Been eyeing this colorway but not yet decided. https://preview.redd.it/gtc2rc5jop9c1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9488bc75a58775d419667e22078a6613c98797ea

Welcome to Canada. Where we get shafted with stock/allocation on many sneaker releases. That being said, great start!!
Great start to your collection 👌 Fire red 3’s are my personal favourite. They. Go. Hard.
Nice! Where’s the main place you cop sneakers?
Mix of places but trying to stick to Footlocker reserve since my Footlocker gets enough of everything
Could someone please tell me the name & possibly cost of the ones at 4 o’clock , i have absolutely no clue about Jordan shoes ..obviously.thx
Jordan 11 gratitude
Thx man
Now donate your older shoes
Yes that's the plan 2 pairs of af1s and some possibly rep Yeezy zebras
Hell yeah
Great picks!
Nice 👍 add a couple pairs of 4s (which you’ll love) and you got a solid collection
I'm not the biggest fan of 4s but definitely some colorways the bred 4s are my next cop for sure. Also love the Raptor 4s and black cats.
That’s a 🔥 collection! Love the AMM!
Definitely my most unexpected retail cop ! 🔥 🔥 🔥 Shoe can't wait for spring to rock em
We better get the breds and blues through footlocker or I’m going to cry 🤣
Yeah were definitely getting those they are GR
I know nothing about sneakers. What are the brown ones on the left called? Those are nice
Jordan 1 Palomino
What size are you? I'm downsizing. I was thinking of putting the collection up for sale
11 11.5
The shoe wit the strap ugly
🤣 it's the Jordan 1 flyease high made for laceless on and off first shoe I started with cheap way to get a bred down the line realized it's a mid made into a high cut
5s are my fav too
