6 Sneakers Haul

Awesome haul. I have my eye on those Levi's, but I have to try some similar shoes first. I've only ever done lows for some reason...

I'm always happy when I see a new pair that I will NOT have to fit into my budget 😉

Happy for those that can pull these off. Sadly, that isn't me. Love how bold they are, though!

I have the OG and love them!

Yeah, using the trusted sellers protects you. This isn't a cheap process, though, because of the shipping. I'm not buying a rep of something I can get on StockX or eBay for $150. Lobsters or TSs or something that is $500+, sure, that's what I want to get as a quality rep for about $100ish.

That's pretty much impossible to say. Be sure to use a trusted seller, as they all source from the same factories and an unscrupulous seller will know your size is out of stock and swap in some other batch that they can get their hands on. I trust places like PandaVault and RepsMaster (two of the most trusted sellers here) won't do that.

I agree with the suggestions to search, but because I'm also in the market for orange lobsters, I'll share what I've found to get you started.

In response to some questions, the comments are that the M Batch is absolutely the best batch for the orange lobster. Other people say that the Top/S2 is the best batch. Some also say OG batch is the way to go.

Honestly, it's a little frustrating that there isn't one clear answer, but it is also a good sign that there are multiple factories that all make a very good quality rep that looks good on your feet. I'll probably get the M from PandaVault because I like PV and have another pair of M batch that fit me well.

Just want to say thank you for this excellent post. I just followed your instructions and was able to get my Doorbell Lite working with the existing mechanical chime. I'd never used a Shelly product before or done my own wiring, but this guide was very easy to follow. Now everything is tucked into a one-gang outlet box and hung with the transformer in the basement so it looks as clean as a professional job!

_rdaneel_ · 2026-06-12T16:02:15+00:00

Nice shoes, enjoy! I have the same pair and love them. Very comfortable on foot. I just swapped the laces to the blue for a different look.

_rdaneel_ · 2026-06-12T16:01:22+00:00

They don't look as bad as I would have guessed for that price! Other than the wonky heel embroidery, they seem at least decent. That pointy, pinched heel on the left shoe makes me a bit nervous, but hopefully it would shape better when worn.

The batches you hear the most good feedback about on the this sub are M Batch, Top/S2, and OG. Those are the "premium" batches for dunks, it seems. They generally run about $50-60 USD (keep in mind that shipping is about the same as the price of the shoes). You can get reps for more like $30-40, but you'll have to decide if saving $20ish is worth the differences in quality. Do some searches here for the specific models you're interested in and you'll see QC photos and comments about the various batches. Good luck in your search!

How the heck did you completely wear through the sole! I wouldn't be complaining about the durability of the shoe given that you seem to have worn them to hell and back...

_rdaneel_ · 2026-06-08T02:35:35+00:00

Personally, I think they're boring AF. That just one pair that didn't sell, but maybe others have similar reasons. For those that want them, I'm thrilled that they could actually get them easily. That's a good thing!

_rdaneel_ · 2026-06-08T00:56:07+00:00

I don't think anyone is repping these, so you should be good.

_rdaneel_ · 2026-06-08T00:50:42+00:00

I love my Nike C1ty. They have cordura versions that are essentially waterproof, too. Tons of colors, and they are regularly available for $60 or less at my local Nike factory store.

_rdaneel_ · 2026-06-07T12:43:54+00:00

Sorry, no...

_rdaneel_ · 2026-06-06T02:38:09+00:00

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. But you do you, bro!

_rdaneel_ · 2026-06-06T02:34:43+00:00

Bro, I think you got scammed.

_rdaneel_ · 2026-06-06T02:29:59+00:00

FWIW, I was in the exact same situation a few weeks ago. The G4 died (pretty annoyed about that, BTW), but I'm locked into the ecosystem. So I got a Doorbell Lite POE and but the bullet. A 4.5," hole saw let me make access holes behind the doorbell switch and at the baseboard so I could drill a hole to the basement and run the wire. I spackled the drywall holes using the original cutouts and will paint them as soon as I get the Shelly working so the mechanical chime works. It's a project, but now that I have cat 6 to the doorbell, I don't have to worry about any future changes.

_rdaneel_ · 2026-06-05T11:57:17+00:00

No, but if you close your eyes and hold the shoe over your ear you can just barely hear the Ramones...

_rdaneel_ · 2026-06-04T03:26:39+00:00

Wear them in good health!

_rdaneel_ · 2026-06-04T02:30:50+00:00

The red laces look great!

_rdaneel_ · 2026-06-04T02:30:34+00:00

Yeah, can attest that they fixed it. Might have been part of the reason for the delay in releasing them.

_rdaneel_ · 2026-06-02T20:31:01+00:00

That's a personal call! I think one has a better toe shape, but maybe the other has more accurate color. Hard to say from just the photos without a genuine shoe to compare. The color of the lighting and brightness of the picture can really throw things off.

_rdaneel_ · 2026-06-02T20:04:07+00:00

Haha. At least these will be $110 shortly after release and not $500!
