We know you probably missed out on the Flamingo release this morning, but just like there are always other fish in the sea, there will always be more sneakers on the shelves. So instead of giving hundreds of dollars to that 15-year-old brat that camped out in front of Kith for a week and had his mommy bringing him food and drinks, take a look at some of the other dope shoes that are available this week at Kith and other retailers around the world. You might just find trying on a pair of shoes is a good way to decide how much you actually like them. Here are some Dope Sneakers You Should Check Out in Person This Weekend and if you make any pickups, hit us up on Twitter and hashtag #complexkicks.

Reebok Answer I

In the words of the great E-40, "I got my second wind, pimp!" is exactly what Allen Iverson's sneaker line would be saying if it could talk. Reebok Classics has been bringing back AI's best and most recently dropped two All Star inspired colorways of the Answer I.

Jordan Super.Fly 2

There is something to be said about "unlocked" Zoom Air and Flight late technology in the new Jordans. If the Air Jordan XX8 was a little too adventurous for you, you're in luck. The Jordan Superfly.2 has a similar tooling and an incredible feel, all while looking more Jordan-esque. Hit up your local retailer to check them out and if you're in Los Angeles, the Nike store in Santa Monica has an event this weekend.

Nike SB Project BA

Brian Anderson is one of the OGs of skateboarding at this point. Hell he was skater of the year back 1999 and some of you were still in diapers then. Nike SB finally got around to giving him his own signature this month and it's been arriving at local skate shops. It's basically a running shoe designed to skate, which by all accounts is sick.

Reebok Pump Paydirt

The first cross trainer with the Pump system, Reebok's Paydirt originally released as a football (and baseball) trainer back in 1992. It's been a while, so definitely check these out for real.

Ewing Focus

The second classic silhouette to release from Ewing Athletics, the Focus features a neoprene liner along with a built-in ankle strap. It doesn't get much more '90s than this.

Vans Madero "Tiger Camo"

The Madero isn't a classic Vans silhouette like the Era or the Authentic, but it has that same minimalist feel. Add in the tiger camo, and these are summer perfection.

adidas Springblade

Simply put, this shit is so crazy, you have to check out the Springblade in person.

Nike Free Flyknit

Nike combined two of its signature technologies to create what might be their ultimate running shoe. The Free Flyknit can even be run in without socks, but please wear a pair if you try them on.

Air Jordan III "Fire Red"

It's an original colorway Air Jordan III. It hasn't been seen since 2007. It will sell out. Set your alarm. There's not much else you need to know.

Nike Solarsoft Moccasin

Somehow it's August already, but summer still has some heat in her yet. The Solarsoft Moccasin is the ultimate in casual comfort for the (rest of the) summer of '13 - the floral print is just a little extra.
