Kicks has posted images of the new Nike Basketball release Transformers branded shoes. The most interesting aspect is the packaging, which now mimics G1 toy boxes! Pictured are the Soundwave and Bumblebee models.

^^^ cant go wrong with those g1-styled packaging, congrats coz you were able to get them for retail!
i've seen people across other boards posting having bought stacks of them just to resell.
marshall dusty
well that's a bummer about no restocking. unfortunately, i'm no shoe collector but i picked them up due to the retro packaging.
Mobb One
there's a soundwave pair at my HoH and i'd totally wear them i like the style. the price isn't bad ($100) however the only size they had left was 15

^^^ nah, its most unlikely that there will be a restock, especially on HOH-only releases. congrats on getting them! shoe collecting sucks nowadays coz most of the people buying exclusive releases are only in it for the purpose of reselling. props to those who really buy to collect.

thanks for the props, been working overtime so they kinda paid for themselves! it sucks that there are only 3 HOH's in the states. i didnt even know we had one! the mall that HOH is located is about 5 miles from me. 15 minute drive with some traffic on a busy main street. my buddy told me about shoes showing up and i was like whoa really? i thought they only existed in the east and west coast. apparently this HOH store opened less than a year ago.
my buddy who works overnight waited in line for me for at least an hour at about 9 am.
I wish they had more stock, i'd help out any of you in purchasing one. i'd only charge cost plus shipping fees. you think they'll restock?

I have…being a NikeTown exclusive gives me a better chance with access to the ES and a chance to get it without having to wait in line…

props bro for scoring a set….that's pretty much a car payment and after getting laid off a couple months back, toys are pretty much the only hobby I can afford right now. hahahaha.
even if they were a Niketown exclusive, doubt we'd score a set. Have you ever stood in line at the one downtown? I did it once a few years ago…never again. hehe

These should have been a NikeTown exclusive — that way more people would have had a chance to get them. With only 3 HOHs in the country…not many fans will be able to get them at a decent price.

apparently there were people last night waiting in line, HOH gave out tickets to the folks in line so they could show up today this morning. i didnt realize they were giving out tickets so this morning i was like FUCK. but my friend was around there and there were about 30 people in line waiting….someone who may have been an employee was second in line was offering her ticket, second in line, for 50 bucks! crazy people. anyway my buddy managed to get some and when he left there weren't that much left. another friend from the illinois sightings thread managed to get there at about 1230 and snagged a pair, they had very very few left, handful or something.
what sucks though is that a third of these folks probably will end up putting them on ebay. there are listings for 300 each, or 900 for the set free shipping.
a fellow board member drove from springfield ill to chicago last night to get in line! that's a 2 hour drive. hopefully these ebay prices go down and you guys can experience these. i'll be keeping them misb i think. i dont plan on wearing them.

you said it..these will be impossible to get. if you guys thought tf fans were nuts, shoe collectors sometimes camp out days before a limited release. As much as I want these….I know I'll never get my hands on a pair.
marshall dusty
my friend picked these up today since i was working.
