| Able to order
Looks like you can order from the Nike store now if you are so inclined. Also looks like they have another color combination available. For $220 it's too rich for my blood. Nike Store Link

| I think that purple shoe is the color scheme they were supposedly making for Margherita Granbassi only.

| Blame the media. I recall seeing Lex Luthor fencing on Smallville.

In this case, it's because they're for a specific sport, and there is only one style of shoe in that category. Plus, they all use men's sizing no matter the color. A real life example of this is Converse Chuck Taylors... all of them are sized on the men's scale.

| G'day All!
Considering these have only just hit the webstore i'm guessing not too many of us have tried this shoe yet- but it looks mighty awesome (its going to have to be if there going to extort us this badly for it!) Just a question to those who have tried it, or generally wear nike shoes. How true to size would these shoes run? I wear a 10 in adidas indoor shoes for fencing and im not sure where to go with these nike ones. Should i try on a pair of their indoor soccer shoes to get a feel for size maybe?
Also, and probably more importantly- what are my chances of getting them delivered to me in Aus? it looks like the nike website only ships within the states- do we have any idea who else may stock it though? I generally go through LP but considering their sale on the old adistars ive got a feeling theyre just getting ready to stock the new ones... Apologies for the ramble! Hopefully you guys can sort me out though! | |

I've seen your pre-haircut album. I don't think I'll be taking your fashion advice anytime soon.
The US Army went through a 3-4 year pink phase, believe it or not. I can produce pictures. In fact, you've seen it and just didn't realize it.

And what about the post-haircut albums? Quote:

| I can't think of any occasion that I would need pink for, especially in a shoe. Quote: |

| I don't look as good with short hair. I've had it before, wasn't a good choice at all. Quote: |

| hm... I thought it wasn't going to be onsale until August (2 hours into it doesn't count).
Speaking of August, I still have homework to do >_<

| I don't think you're allowed to use "grow up" and "Miami Vice" in the same sentence.
