@Rhino: That makes me feel better indeed, my rule for shoes is always =<$100

@PatrickT: congratz with the great deal again, these and the anthracite are probably the best looking Vapors in a while! And good luck with the fit too, I gotta go a full size down for a decent fit

Thanks guys, I definitely got lucky.

Whats the deal with the sample shoes anyway? Are they rare/valuable/etc?

My local Nike outlet store (i.e. it's supposed to be cheap) has the Vapor 8 on sale for $115 so yes, you are lucky!

I think sample shoes are are only valuable if they are markedly different to the regular retail version. And even then it has to be a difference that people actually care about. For example someone here picked up a sample colorway with the RF logo which was only ever released with a regular Nike logo. That is a significant sample because Fed fans are obsessive.

You guys are lucky! Love those shorts, but very unlikely to find those at a Marshall's around me.

zapvor · 04-22-2012, 09:43 PM

i saw the white/black ones but they are like $36

mtommer · 04-23-2012, 05:27 AM

Just found this yesterday for $10. It's the green one though, not the yellow one.

yes, they ABSOLUTELY DO!! I found a pair of worn down Babolat propulses for $10 at Salvation Army once....

Nice *breaksracquet!
Today I also got a PK Black Ace 98 for $5.40 and a PK Graphite Ace 110 w/ cover for 5$. Resisted the bronze ace because i couldnt see myself playing with it. Saw others but I limit myself (or I try to anyways). Also scored a Head Liquidmetal Duffle from '04 for 13$. Found 50 cents and a dampened in it. Lol

I saw a women's pair of Wilson Pro Staff Low Leather shoes around my women's size (LOL). http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Wils...WILSON-WL.html

I didn't buy them though. They were a bit worn out around the edges. And at this point I don't think I need new tennis shoes till holes are in all my other shoes. But maybe I should get them. They're not as worn down as my Yonex's but my mom might get mad if I keep buying. If they're there next time I'll get them. Better stock up on shoes now then later. Am I right!?

Big retailer in raleigh clearing inventory. here's what i bought...

*breaksracquet · 05-12-2012, 07:10 PM

Continuation of previous above post...

what I spent (Fed's winter polo being the most expensive)...

Bought this with a gift card earlier in the week. Cost the same as the other adidas gear found in the receipt.

I had never paid attention before yesterday, but I was in TJMaxx and found several pair of the same Thorlo socks that I frequently buy online for around $12 - $15 for $4.99/pair. The Thorlos were not displayed with all the other socks. They were off in a corner with some clearance stuff. Great find for me.

Today I strolled into Ross Dress for Less looking to buy some black dress shoes. And while I did leave the store with a dashing pair of Steve Madden dress shoes for only $35, that is not what this thread is about. I actually stumbled across a pair of Nike C.B. 3.3's in my size. What price you ask? Take a look at the pic......
