The Hunt Begins
First things first, I needed to find a pair. These aren't exactly sitting on shelves anymore, so I knew it wouldn't be easy. I started by hitting up the usual spots. You know, those big-name sneaker sites.
I spent a good few hours browsing, comparing prices, and trying to find a pair in my size that weren't ridiculously overpriced. It's a tough market out there!
Digging DeerepeeDper
After !secstriking out on the main sites, I started digging a bit deeper. That's where I learned the real lesson, I mean, really looking for it. I checked out some smaller resell platforms and even some forums. You wouldn't believe the stuff people are selling in those places!
Found Them! (Maybe?)
Finally, I found a listing that looked promising. A seller on a forum had a pair in my size, and the pictures looked legit. The price was okay, not a steal, but definitely not highway robbery.
The Negotiation
So, I messaged the seller. We went back and forth a bit, talking about the condition, the price, and all that. It's always a bit nerve-wracking buying from someone you don't know, you know?
Sealing the Deal
After some haggling, we agreed on a price. I sent the payment, fingers crossed, hoping everything would go smoothly. I got so anxious!
The Waiting Game
Then came the wait. The seller shipped them out, and I tracked that package like a hawk. Every update, every scan, I was on it.
Unboxing Day!
Finally, the day arrived. The package was at my door. I ripped that thing open like a kid on Christmas morning.
- The Box: It was in pretty good shape, just a few minor dings.
- The Shoes: Man, they looked even better in person than in the pictures. The red was so vibrant, and the details were amazing.
I checked everything, inspected so hard, to the tiny details. Making sure they were legit, checking for any flaws. Everything looked good.
Lacing Up
Of course, I had to try them on right away. Slipped my feet in, laced them up, and... wow. They felt great. Super comfortable, and they looked even better on my feet.
Mission Accomplished
So, there you have it. My journey to getting a pair of Kobe 11 "Red Horse". It took some effort, some patience, and a little bit of luck, but it was totally worth it. Now I just gotta decide when to wear them for the first time, and whether or not I should try to get a few more.
