Looked today in Adelaide for shoes.
I was one of the first to have black Jordan's in distrct bball after a Pro ball trip to the states. (OMG that was ealry 90's)
Now I am old and all the shos I see are WAY WAY to glary for someone that is as bad as me.
Please help an old guy find some new cheap shoes online that don't look like clown boots!

Eastbay fabulous if you are prepared to shop for the specials and know exactly the size you need.
Shipping is a pretty steep to Oz but is super quick.
Keep an eye out for specials, vouchers etc and use those to keep the price down.
A dude on these boards called Thomas Schmidt once recommended footlocker.com to me and I found them to be pretty good. Eastbay are always reliable too.

Don't think Nike accept Aussie credit cards (visa/mast). I was able to use Amex to purchase customised shoes and had it shipped to a friend. Nike called my friend to verify my US address though.
Eastbay all day. There are always 15% off coupons floating around online.

Yes, always Google Eastbay Discount Code before making a purchase. You will always be able to save at least 10% off your purchase, sometimes 15% or 20% as Latrentis mentioned. Same is worth doing for any US online store that has a Discount Code section at the checkout (which most have).

Good read Pug. Companies like Eastbay must do really well with all the Aussie buyers they get. I will never go into a Footlocker store here and pay $200+ for a pair of shoes when you can get them for half online. It's disgraceful that our retailers can get away with price gouging.
