I would say the 2000 release was epic if not for the simple fact that I was able to walk in the store and get them without a bodyguard (skipped school actually) and it was the time of the retro they were just getting started and I was scooping up everything, the fact that it was a mere 4 years...
I was thinking that the OG 11's from 1995-96 were the very first MODEL of Air Jordan's to literally sell out. Only old heads like myself can really testify to the fact that those things flew off the shelf never to be seen again.....after awhile. It did take some time to warm up to them for some...
First time ever I experience an "error" message on the SNKR app smh it basically crashed like Footlocker and others do from time to time. Finally I was able to open the app on the desktop after trying on my phone for half an hour and got in line but stayed in "Pending" status for all of 30 mins...
WHAT!!! As someone who was around when the OG's were out, the bred 11's absolutely flew off the shelves, you could not find them anywhere! Those breds were the first riot shoe over 20 years ago!!......without the riot lol
Just took delivery on my second pair of BC 3's today, it is going to take the Concord XI's in that original box with the shiny black plastic inserts to beat this release. I dont care what else releases this year..........including my grails (taxi XII's).
I remember when the 13.5's and 14.5's were available years back, they were the first sizes (at least the 13.5) to sell out online. It took no time for them to sell because "it wasn't a common size". And for some reason they didn't make a lot of those bigger half sizes to begin with.
That's the thing right there, you could not walk into your local footlocker and get a 13.5 when they were available. You could only get them only, employee's at the stores told me to my face 2 years ago they don't make 13.5's I had to take my shoe off and show them. What I'm saying is they could...
