so u can return your shoes to nike if they wear out quicker than they should?? In that case, I bought VC 3's for a bill 40 and they started to look bad and ugly in 4-5 months even though i tried my hardest to keep them in a good condition. From what I know, Nike uses cheap material to make their shoes. Cheap for a pair that was originally priced at 229.99 canadian.
Those Pump Bringbacks will never be worn by me on a court to play basketball. I'll just wear them outside to chill and sh*t. They are too good looking to be messed around with. I have never seen Huaraches 2k5 at Si vous Play. I have been to champs a couple of times but never seen them. But those are basketball shoes and are too expensive as well.
BTW, how long does it take for nike to ship brand new kicks for a pair of old ones?

Yes, you can return them, I've done it myself. After it worked the first time, I got tired of my next pair and ripped part of the sole off with a fork, they sent me a new pair no questions asked. The second tim I actually got a really nice pair, the ones Nash was in commercials for way back when. THey were more expensive than the ones I sent back.

SO did u send a receipt too (as a proof of purchase or what have you). And when they send you a pair back, they send you any kind of shoe? They dont send you a brand new pair of the old one's you sent them!??!?!
If that's true, i'm sending my vc 3's for sure. Those shoes were made of very poor material. ( So cheap!!)

So I was hanging around HMV today sorta browseing and whatnot with agenda of buying George a. Romero's Land of the Dead which I have been eagerly awaiting on dvd since seeing it in theatres (my friends and camped out a couple hours some even dressed as zombies, while fun it waspointless there were like six other people there on opening night...) Anyway the point was I noticed they had Batman Begins on a display rack at the front with the one disk edition which just has the movie and some usual sound options. Then right above it they had the 2 disc deluxe edition which had an MTV spoof, a comic book, trailer, interviews, behind the scenes, A look at the origion of batman, and a little documentary about how Bale got ready physically and mentally for the role (some think that isn't too big a deal given he was so ripped in equilibrium and american psycho, but the last movie he did before the batman shoot was the machinest where he is down to like 120 pounds) Anyway now that i am done sounding like I work for warner bros (which I don't, just a movie whore) The 2 disc edition cost a dollar more! One freakin dollar! And just in the short time I was there I saw 3 people walk up and buy the one disc edition. Does that make any sense to anyone?

It was a while, so I can't recall the exact process. They Give you a random shoe, the first time I sent one back they gave me a running shoe and I was like WTF? I want a new pair for basketball, so I sent those back and they gave me a new pair of basketball ones.

Thanks for the input on this matter homie.
Snoogans, you sure the 2 disc edition costs a dollar more? I mean that's pretty stupid for warner bros to come up with 2 DVD's that are a dollar apart from each other (price wise). One's got the movie only while the other's got everything you could think of including the movie. LOL. If this is true, Warner Bros need new marketing peeps!!

i sent a pair back after the bubbles broke and they sent them back to me and told them they wore out from normal use, i was barely over 150 lbs back then and they were only a few months old
i got the huaraches at a foot locker when they were brand new, so i got ripped big time... if they weren't such good shoes, my ass would still be sore. here's a question, anyone know where i can order timberlands off a website in canada at a decent price?

sorry, but i don't live in toronto, i'm a 20 hour drive away up in thunder bay. the only time i ever saw a decent price on a pair was when i was in minnesota this summer, they were 80 american but it was a really basic pair and only in gray. i still shoulda got them but i already had lots of stuff i bought and probably would have had to pay duty. the only store here sells the pair i want for $245 plus tax, and i can't bring myself to do that, especially after my ass is still sore from buying my textbooks and i've got a little over 2 months until round 2 of textbooks
i've had a lot of problems finding websites to order shoes in canada, so i was wondering if any of you guys had an idea
on another note, it snowed last night, i'm not sure if i'm pleased or not. although i'm more prepared for winter, clothes-wise this year than last, i still don't know if i'm ready for that kind of weather yet

Ok so i just bought those Reebok Pump Bringbacks and they are ill. I got them for only 89.99 plus taxes which is pretty cheap compared to their original price of 239.99. I bought the white/blue/grey colour. They dont look comfortable because they are high and all but they are pretty comfortable for high cuts. Putting them on aint a problem either. My pairs numbered 1163 out of 1989. They are more comfortable than those gay ass VC 3's that i bought which suck like sh*t. I hate nike cuz of those shoes.

greetings gentlemen, how about some random conversation?
back when i was in high school, i used to buy a lot of clothes from the gap, but they progressively got gayer and gayer. the shirts got progressively smaller and tighter, it's terrible.
my little brother is in grade 9 and has some strange aversion to wearing pants. he wears basketball shorts to school every day. it wouldn't be so bad if he lived close to his school, but he walks 2.5km to school every day, so it's a 5km round trip and it's about 4 degrees in the morning now. i told him he's gonna get pneumonia and die, but he's like "i wear a toque! i'm warm"
i hate nba live 2006 so much, i just play madden every day and i'm loving it. on all madden mode, i am consistently getting qb ratings over 100, completion percentages of nearly 70% over the course of the season... i'm so much better than i used to be a couple months ago. maybe i should be doing my schoolwork instead...
speaking of schoolwork, i have 4 essays due by the end of november

Try a place that sells costumes/wigs...there are about 1000 of them in the downtown core of every major city in Canada these days. In Thunder Bay specifically, I have heard good things about a place called
