Massive point right here. Up until somewhat recently, we can debate as to when exactly, you didn't know if a shoe would ever re-release. That led to me personally doubling and tripling up on most 11s as I always wanted a pair in my collection and if I didn't I might be without. Fast...
LOL. This was taped before SD last week at the Mohegan Sun. Jobber Lee gets pinned in a few minutes then during thr show is announced as Rey's partner at mania. Awful booking, this guy jobbed out in under 5 minutes. That killed whatever reaction he would have normally got being announced as...
Update: my pair was authenticated this morning. I also had a sports card that was pending authentication for several days that was approved this morning as well.
I've been selling off doubles and shoes a few years old I never wore this year. These are my first purchases for 2024. They will be heavily worn. Great colorway, close to the BC III. I just put in for ship to me on footlocker and saw the charge this morning. No mall, no hassle.
If they have the yellowed midsole, I won't be upset. While I think it looks awful on the white cement pair, the black cement 3 looks great worn, probably more than any other AJ.
High patent cut and a shade that matches the hue of the original is what I want. If the legend blue refers to the 2 jumpmans, that's not a big deal imo. Is the color of the sole included in the color of the shoe (serious question)? I don't remember that being the case with any other xi.
I've been going on a purge selling off shoes I've had for years and haven't worn. The xi and the iii are my 2 favorite aj models, I have well over 35 xis and over 20 iiis. The xi lows are pretty much going to be all gone, I can't with these awful shapes. I'll probably get 1 pair of these sj...
More the height. The snake lows and the Columbia blue patent leather pair had better patent leather (or snake pattern) cuts than the rest of the recent lows. For modern xi lows, I consider the Columbia blue pair the gold standard. While not as good as the early 2000s pairs, they are more...
Agreed about next year!
Getting:
Sj xi low
Green glow 3
Reimagined 4s (most likley)
Wish list
Remastered Gamma xi
White/Carolina xi high top
Black Cement 3s
3s are actually my 2nd favorite model overall to the XI! I ahve 29 total pairs of 3s in my collection. Black/cements are in my top 3 sneakers. I never liked the white/cements as much as other colorways but I still like them for sure.
