As the S.F.U. midwestern chairman explained to us earlier, when you are in the presence of a comeup… You. Must. Copp. You must do it for all the SFU representatives across the globe. For your SFU brothers and sisters in Australia. For the SFU reps in the great Canadian region. even for SFU noobs in your own neighborhood. We do this for them.
During a cruise thru one of the many Marshall’s stores here in NYC I was fortunate enough to witness a subsequent markdown taking place. These markdowns usually happen during slow periods of store activity. It was a Sunday afternoon and I was cruising for a pair of Air Jordan 2009 in the white colorway since I have already smashed them with the black pairs.
My attention was pointed to a salesperson putting the vaunted ‘yellow’ ticket on sneakers. This is the designation in TJX stores (Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, A.J. Wright) that this item is receiving a final clearance price. These sneakers were getting several yellow tickets placed on them. When I saw what the final price was marked down to I had to copp.
I’m still a snob however and I wouldn’t buy the Under Armor sneakers at any price, but there were some adidas and Nike that fit my high standards. Now I just need to find a little girl to give them to.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT THE FUCK
cop just on the strength. co-sign.
My wife tried to buy some UA’s for my boy. No dice.
I told her the story of how, in Jr high, my dad bought me some Keds to rock for P.E. class & how, although he did his best, I was humiliated beyond repair. I have troubled writing the word “kids” to this day, without holding back the tears. The UA’s would’ve rocked. My little man’s elementary universe, especially since he uses terms like “they gon’ hate on me” in the 1st grade. He’s a snob, too.
I’ll be cruising the Marshalls out here in MD looking for the come up.
3 dollars shitttttttttttttttt i would go get change and pay the bill in quarters.
Let ’em know, D! It’s not all about your Jordan retros and quickstrikes. I definitely not a AJ hater- the ceelo set-up is O-ficial bone gristle! (4’s, 5’s, 6’s). You gotta have some premium sh*t on ice, just to splash on cats just to let ’em know its not a game for you. But at the end of the day, and I quote “it’s all really just leather & rubber”. Normally when you spot a come-up with the plastic string holding them together, it’s usually the end of the road for them sh*ts. For now. But you go diggin’ in your closet 5 years later and you come across some joints you caught at the outlet for 30cent, and they lookin’ like new money?
One of the many reasons I love this sport.
The AJ Wright special Air Tech Challenges are in my everyday rotation, but I’m mad as hell I slept on the rest of them joints when they put the yellow tag on them. Because now I gots no backups and on eBay they’re going for no less than $80.00.
^ Jerz I co-sign you on those ATC’s. When they came out retro’d, Dallas and I balled out [||] across NYC for those. super official. i’m still waitin for the right spring to stunt on em with that pair
Word is bond Jerz. Say no more. The only pair of J’s I have are official #2s.
“I love this sport.”
I don’t know where everyone is who comments here, but those in NC, SC, VA, MD, TN, GA, KY, DE and PA should make a trip to Rugged Wearhouse if you see one too…

I copped a pair of murdered out (black on black on black) Adidas Campus ST about 3 weeks ago for $29.99.
Last week, I copped a pair of white/ice blue Air Force 25’s for $49.99.
My best friend works across the street from the one here, and Ross is between my job and the highway, so we keeps and eye out and pass the info back often.
