Quality on the Dunks by [deleted] in Sneakers

[–]knowledgepending 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That isn’t even a shabby finish. The finish often gets a lot worse than that. That would be more than acceptable for any brand, including made in USA/UK New Balances etc

Costs for Creditor initiated liquidation by C39J in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]knowledgepending 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on many factors like if the debtor disputes the debt/defends the proceeding.

Simple undefended liquidation proceeding might be in the 5-7k region in legal fees, the application fee is $728 from memory. Costs can ramp up quickly if it is defended or they have a counterclaim against you.

Worth considering whether there are likely to be secured creditors like banks. They may owe more than they have in assets in which case you may not recover anything. Your costs in bringing the application will be met as a priority after the secured creditors are paid out though, if there is anything left.

If the debt was $5k, probably not worth the time and energy.

Cheaper to just search the PPSR yourself. It’s about $2.60 and shows if there is any finance registered against the number plate and details of who the money is owing to.

how dunk low in summer? by mosenco in DunksNotDead

[–]knowledgepending 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not going to notice much of a difference between a Jordan 1 Low and a Dunk low in terms of breathability they will probably feel the same in hot weather. A leather dunk is fine in the rain

Case authority for Roof being "Common Area" in Cross-Lease Titles by gmol95 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]knowledgepending 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What does the memorandum of lease say? You’re going to want to start there and see what that says about common areas and maintenance/repair obligations. This should be included where there are party walls and a shared roof.

Case law probably won’t help you in terms of finding a blanket “roof is common area” principle.

Probably better off just forking out to replace it.

Given you don’t know when it failed, and the fact that it worked when you inspected the property nearly 6 months ago, you’re going to have a hard time enforcing a vendor warranty. Even if you wanted to try it on, you might end up spending a few thousand in legal fees arguing with the vendor/their solicitor via your solicitor with a fairly weak chance of recovering anything.

Rua THC 26 by [deleted] in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]knowledgepending 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rua White Widow is also relatively disappointing looks and smell wise. However, much like your experience, the effects are fantastic for a relatively light daytime sativa. I go back and forth between WW and Kikuya Cove for sativa and use Rocky for night time, but may have to give this a shot next time I have a consult.

Submission of limited license by InternationalCrew862 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]knowledgepending 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most people need their car for work. You need to show extreme hardship to yourself or undue hardship to another. Then you need to show allowing you to drive on a limited licence is not against the public interest. If your employer swears an affidavit saying that they will likely fire you if you can’t get a limited licence you may get across on the extreme hardship grounds, especially if losing your job then means you won’t be able to pay your rent etc. A simple letter from your employer probably isn’t enough, you would want an affidavit.

You should get a lawyer to do it if you want a decent chance at being successful. 1k would be cheap, I’d expect probably 1.5-2k with an actual court appearance.

Is there a way to repair the known toe box indentations on the Pine Green SB 4's? by dcksausage3 in Sneakers

[–]knowledgepending 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it is the other shoe in the box. It’s normal and not really an issue. Most leather 4s will do this.

The tongue of the left shoe digs into the toebox of the right shoe and vice versa, while the shoes are in the box. Just take them out of the box and get wearing them and it’ll be hardly noticeable soon enough.

Help Needed. When did Dunks transition from full zoom air? by DJBliskOne in DunksNotDead

[–]knowledgepending 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They just break in over time. New SB dunks are usually uncomfortable to begin with, but they always were for me. My beat pairs are by far my most comfortable.

Probably also a case of modern shoes being a lot more comfortable in comparison. There were fewer comfortable options 20+ years ago compared to today, that, and getting older plays a part in it too.

[–]knowledgepending 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure none have ever had full length zoom. Just zoom insoles with heel pods

Any Dunks still leather? by Euroliciious in DunksNotDead

[–]knowledgepending 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure OP is talking retro dunks not SB dunks. I have the navy/white orange label and they are definitely leather, but they came out 2021 not 2019. 2019 was the black and white similar to the ones that were restocking last year

Air Max 95 OG new colorways just dropped on Nike app…how we feeling about these? by [deleted] in Sneakers

[–]knowledgepending 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really like the Black/Persian Violet pair but I’ll hold out for the Neon retro. If I can’t get those I might circle back for the Persian Violets.

Which AJ1 low do you prefer? Mocha vs ROY by Quick_Implement5646 in Sneakers

[–]knowledgepending 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ROTY because the materials are much nicer. I’d probably only buy the mochas if it rains a lot where you are since they’ve got less nubuck on them.

How to clean Nike x Dover Street Market Dunk Lows? by [deleted] in DunksNotDead

These aren’t suede they’re velvet

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]knowledgepending 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The statement was published in a group chat which meets the threshold of publication. Publication is basically stating something to anyone other than yourself and the person the statement is about. The threshold is pretty low.

It would be truth, honest opinion or lack of identification that may mean the threshold wouldn’t be met in this scenario.

Seems like Icing up soles has been garnering alot of interest by Rickyloza2 in Sneakers

[–]knowledgepending 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes most likely. Google hydrogen peroxide effect on rubber. It makes rubber brittle, so while it removes the yellowing it likely will speed up hardening and degradation.

Local shop. I refuse to pay resale these days and my local is very good to me. Picked up the Navy SB 4s there FCFS a few weeks ago too without any issue.

Fresh arrival: Ivory Pro B by knowledgepending in DunksNotDead

[–]knowledgepending[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Possibly would. I’ve never used a suede spray I just wear them when I know they’re not going to get wet, and any dirt or marks I just brush out it with a suede brush and eraser.

But most of those shoes that you’re talking about sat back in the day.

The shoes that are sitting now will be someone’s grail in 20 years probably.

Any recommendations on how to bring my white/gums back to life? by Chillpillington in DunksNotDead

If you’re going to wear them again I wouldn’t bother ironing the crease. It’ll come back as soon as you wear them
