    A Ma Maniere have truly figured out the sneaker copping game. Manual hits every time, so grateful to be able to cop the threes and the ones for retail. A Ma Maniere you the goat

      For real this is my first time trying to buy straight through them and it was a cake walk, a little stressful but much happier knowing i earned it instead of waiting and hoping for a W against bots

      Wouldn’t call it easy. Had them in the cart and when I pressed “pay’ it said sold out…oh well tough luck. At least the bot protection was great. Other stores should do the same

      The choice of maroon, to me, has a deep meaning that makes me even prouder to own a pair. I don't think I'm going to flip this one, at least for now.
