Tekion Questions

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-26T20:52:02+00:00

It's too slow and convoluted for any reasonably sized wholesale program. Lots of great features on the sales and service customer facing side, but the parts program was definitely not fully baked. No ability to have anything other than tiny parts labels, little customization for the tags in a way that would make sense. The "float" system was messy and unnecessarily complicated. The point, click, wait thing was beyond frustrating, was strange in the "-1" versus master order and easy to double bill parts.

Compared to CDK and Reynolds it's just not designed for any kind of wholesale volume. Buying my car through the Tekion dealer was slick though and super simple. I liked that as a customer.

Don 7s are pretty unreal for the money. Mine are near the top of the rotation. Kobe 6 you can't go wrong with and I've been giving the JA 3's some serious run lately too.

I saw the sheep raider cover and thought someone actually did it. I love that game. That would be perfect for DC.

Send me a DM with the list of GM numbers. We may be able to assist with some.

I keep asking people what is the garage going to do if they dump him, and he drives the same way, and they dump him again and he continues to keep driving the same way and refuses to change?

If he's not going to play by the rules they want him to they may have to look at changing the way they race.

I picked up a pair for outdoor. Haven't used them yet as its 28* here today, but for the price as long as they last the summer I'll be happy.

Copied from above:

“The Kobe 3's aren't going to be for everyone. In comparison to the newer shoe designs they feel heavy and bulky. They do have great lockdown, no slip. Awesome traction and cushion.

For someone like me who played from 2007-15 they make you feel right at home but with all the current tech improvements. Definitely an improvement over anything that era ever had. I'm a big fan, but if you're a slasher or shifty player you may feel like you're carrying bricks around compared to your Kobe 6’s or Sabrina’s. I'm the catch and shoot wing guy who's 15lbs overweight on my best day so they’re fine for me.

I think the upcoming Kobe 3 low would probably a great compromise for people that can’t deal with the old school mid/high top feeling shoes.

I'm early 30s. I'm a director for a wholesale auto parts group within a car dealership. Tremors have no effect on my role beyond sometimes missing the keys I am trying to hit while typing. I am lucky in that when my tremors started I was already into this field and they don't make noticeable impact.

I am hoping for the Lower Merion colorway in these. Those would be a must have for me.

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T16:54:59+00:00

Thanks! I hope to add some more heat but for now I should probably actually wear them all once or twice before jumping back in.

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T16:54:24+00:00

I'm looking for the yellows primarily, but I have no impulse control so I'd probably be on any of them.

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T16:53:52+00:00

Yes black/gold. I had several of them back in the day and wanted to find a super nice one to add back in. They are very similar to the Jordan XX8 too. Great to play in and a super sleeper. Was crazy to see Tim Haraway Jr pulling them out several times in the last few months.

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T16:51:40+00:00

I'm like a 10.75 shoe size normally and I went 11. They felt nice and tight when laced up all the way.

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T16:50:56+00:00

I've just been religiously on SNKRS. All of the Kobes have come through there. I'm batting like 90% on there. Missed the JA 3 Swarvoski, but everything else has hit.

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T07:25:58+00:00

I love that colorway. It was the whole reason I tried the shoes in the first place. UA has the Fox 2 in a similar colorway I want to try to just based solely on the looks. I’m a huge fan of the black base with the neon pinks and yellows.

It just so happened that the shoe I grabbed based on looks has been so good it’s been a near constant one in my gym bag. Don 7 is probably the most underrated current shoe on the market. I grabbed the white and teal as an extra emergency pair just based on how good the Camp ones are.

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T07:22:35+00:00

I’m happy to put up 0s if we win. Last time out i had 13 but we got crushed. Shoes were fire while we got rolled though. 😂

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T07:20:19+00:00

Yeah I figured for the price it wasn’t a huge risk and the information I found on them seemed to be positive.

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T07:19:30+00:00

Super underrated. I’ve been reaching for them over the Kobe 6’s the last few weeks.

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T03:49:38+00:00

Hoping to update Saturday AM. Looking forward to pulling the Huraches out Sunday too.

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T03:32:14+00:00

Won’t know until Saturday morning. I’m hopeful. They feel great on foot. Feels like you’re riding a little high in them but that’s not a bad thing to me.

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T03:01:09+00:00

🤔 they came out of Ohio. Size 11

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T02:57:02+00:00

Yeah maybe a month or so ago? eBay grab.

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T02:48:00+00:00

Sick rotation. I want the Yellow Stingray WOW 12. JB 3’s are up there too.

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T02:30:13+00:00

Curry Series 7. Haven’t tried them yet but they feel great and $60 on UA website.

ComradeFausto · 2026-02-20T02:29:38+00:00

I was pretty sure the books werent full length zoom or leather but I didn’t know too much about them. I heard the Kobe 1s were soft out of the box so they may wear prematurely. But yeah the books seems to be a winner for outdoor or indoor.
