You might have noticed that we don’t really have sales here at Laced but with so much new product arriving and much more on the way we need to make a little room in the shop. We will be starting our Winter Sale on Friday the 18th of May at 10am in store and online which will run through ’till close of business Sunday 27th May! That’s 10 full days of cheap heat! We are giving 15% off EVERYTHING (even new release items) both in our physical store and online store! We have set up a discount code for our online store – just enter WINTER during checkout to receive 15% off your order! There will also be stacks of heavily discounted last size shoes on sale as well as some really cheap last tees and clothing. So there’s no better time to buy than now!

We’ve just received two Nike runners that have put a smile on our faces here in the shop. First up we have the Air Max ’95 No-Sew ($200); available in the original Neon ’95 colourway. This is not a retro release but rather a new updated version of the ’95 with no stitching on the side panels of the upper. Instead, the black and grey panels on the side have been heat sealed / welded with Nike’s new Hyperfuse technology. It’s pretty hard to tell the difference from the original which is probably a good thing for all you purists out there but we think Nike has done well to keep the original DNA of the ’95 intact. Don’t quote us on this but we think these might be lighter than the original and definitely will hold up better against dirt and wear with the Hyperfuse panels rather than the OG felt.

And this, we think, is the best colourway we’ve seen in the Huarache Free to date. This hybrid hasn’t been as well received as we expected but it’s pretty hard to deny they look dope. If you’re a Huarache fan and haven’t actually tried a pair of these on before, we suggest you do…they’re a hell of a lot lighter than the original and way more comfy!

So the time has come and we now have the official word from Nike regarding the much hyped Yeezy II release. After it’s postponement in April we didn’t quite know what was going on but we can now confirm that the official global release date for both colourways of the Yeezy II is now the 9th of June (Saturday). We will be selling both colours; the Wolf Grey/Pure Platinum and Black/Solar Red for the Australian recommended retail price of $350 per pair. There will only be three official stockists of the Yeezy II in Australia with Laced being the only official stockist in QLD. It goes without saying that these will be extremely limited, but to give you an idea, there are less than 30 pairs of each colourway in the country! …If you do the math, then you’ll see that each store only has a handful of each colourway to offer. So, due to the limited number of pairs we will be getting, we are going to hold a raffle to determine who gets to buy a pair. We feel this is the fairest way to run it considering the circumstances.

To celebrate the release we will be holding a launch event on the Saturday night from 6pm at the shop and this is when your raffle ticket (if you get one) could win you the chance to purchase a pair! We have decided to limit the amount of raffle tickets we hand out so each person has a fair chance of copping a pair. There will be a total of 70 raffle tickets handed out and these will be issued on a first come first served basis.

Apparently these are even more limited than the first Yeezy (from 2009) and the word is that this will be the last Nike x Kanye West co-lab…so, regardless of whether you’re going to rock, stock, or re-sell we suggest you get here EARLY!

*Strictly one pair per customer, no holds, no bribes, no discounts, no laybys…
