Canada had been left of of the shoe mix for years, often being excluded from exclusives which landed in the US, Europe and Asia. Now that the Canadian dollar is surging, our own Bobbito decided to send over some ol’ Mac n Cheese and Beef n Broccoli… ay!
The Beef n Broccoli and Mac n Cheese will be available tomorrow at LiveStock (Toronto and Vancouver).
Cool beans, bro!

cool beans indeed, but unfortunately i can’t take credit whatsoever. nike sales totally made all the decisions on where my seven af1s were available at. i wish i had some say, and am glad that livestock will be in effect as i spun a party in vancouver last fall and the store was a sponsor. good dudes over there, and very clean store. shout out to sean la la and the notic!

Being from Toronto, I have felt no love from Nike at all. Sure with under a dozen sneaker boutiques we do get exclusive shit every once in a while but that’s it. It’s always a couple months later, or very limited quantities, or most commonly for much higher than American retail. Only because our dollar is on par or sometimes above the US dollar that am I able to import most of my sneaks, despite having to pay shoes/shipping/customs I still save money compared to Canadian retail. Just to give you an example AJ XX3 were $180 US, and $230 plus 13% tax = $260 Canadian retail. I’m hoping Nike will try to do something about this inconsistency sometime soon (though its been 2 yrs now). Anyways I love those Mac n’ Cheese af1, which I copped from a reseller in the US a couple weeks back.

23edge,
I totally agree with you. When I sold shoes at Athletes World back in the earlier part of the decade, Nike Canada had the prices dead on with the US exchange at about 1:1.5-1.6 depending on the model.
Nike Canada has kept retail prices the same despite the USD and CAD being essentially 1:1. Sales tax is a killer as well. I remember when it was 14.5% for PST + GST.
Steve, nice looking out, eh?
