There are some good discount shoe places but they are always for older shoes. Nothing new has great deals...

i got those air max 360's for 160 there not bad but when they keep emphasizing walking on air its makes the shoes overrated same with my basketball air max 180's.

Bootlegs? shrug

You can't find new items at discount prices, because they aren't near discontinuation.

ebay has them going for around $90 + shipping.

I dont know though about getting athletic shoes from ebay. Even from a power seller who is selling them new, i still wonder.

Even the used ones (ew, gross) are still selling at a high price.


But they are selling "new" ones. I dont know the legitimacy, but i thought i'd post options.

okay, well ebay is out then. My next suggestion is if you have a friend that works at Footlocker/FinishLine/etc see if they can get you a discount. shrug

How to get shoes for the cheapest price

1) Search eBay for Finishline, Eastbay, Footlocker, Champs, Footaction gift certs.
2) Wait for FootLocker, Finishline, Eastbay to put out 30% off or better discounts. They have these deals once in a while. There will be many decent deals in the 4th Q.
3) Wait till the shoe comes down to a reasonable price, and apply #1 and/or #2.


Personally, #3 has worked well for me. I can't really see the point of paying over $100 for a pair of shoes, considering they don't last very long. Unless you're a serious athlete.

Generally, it takes about 6 months for prices to start dropping, and it really goes down in a year. I bought a pair of Iverson's for $70 when they just came out (they were $125) because FootLocker had a deal and I got free giftcards.

Slickdeals.net, Stealdeals.net will post good deals from FootLocker, Finishline, Eastbay.
