Forgive me; I've not been in the forum for a while, and I'm not familiar with the lingo, but are you saying that you bought your first pairs without going through the twitter link when you say you went through the "back door"? Were you just checking the FNL website and saw them?
Oh no. Several years ago, they would help with identifying fakes, but not anymore. But I never had to use it because it was easy to walk into any of the "Big Two" and get anything you wanted if you had the money.
I just called Nike and asked about some characteristics of the shoes and the...
Cool. Thanks. I may have to check with you all on some pairs.
Don't get me wrong; I really do want to go to ASW for the events. It's the NBA's marquee event. That would be the reason that I would be going, if I decide to. I was just wondering what other members thought about a possible...
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO---Weeeeee!!!!! Man I hate that I missed that!!!!!! Thanks for letting me know. I remember reading about it after it happened, but I could not find it tonight when I was looking for it!
I totally understand what you're saying. But did we know that there was going to be a restock at ASW last year? Did we know that Indiana was going to get a huge Concord restock for the Finishline in Greenwood mall? Did we know that Finishline was going to have a Cyber Monday restock? Did we...
You are a wise man. I've seen some really good fakes that the CSRs at Niketown were able to point out to me. One of my buddies got burnt last year with a fake Concord. It looked real to us, but unfortunately, it was a variant. The sad thing about it was that he could have kept them and worn...
That's true. I guess that there could be a restock and that there would not be enough shoes to go around. But last year, from what I understand (I say that because I read about it online), if you were there, you got your pair. I don't know anything for certain.
No. That's not what I said.
Part of the reason why I am cautious of resellers is that some of them do not know that they are not selling authentic articles. Some of them know that they are selling fakes straight up. Since I did not get a release day pair, I don't have an authentic pair to...
I'm still not sure if there was only a restock on just the Concords or not; I imagine there were alot of sneakers. But remember, Kobes, KDs and LeBrons all hit at the same time the Galaxy foams hit. I can't find the website now, but I want to say that there were a bunch of other sneakers being...
Yep. That's what I work a job for. Pay bills, save a little, and with the little bit left over, enjoy myself. And, an occasional pair of J's. And by the way, not to buy shoes; to go to ASW and then buy shoes.
Thanks. The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards taking my chances and waiting. If I go, I'll have a good time regardless. If there aren't any restocks, then I can still buy from a reseller.
Maybe, I might want to go watch some pro basketball players do what they do best. Again, I won't have to pay for plane tickets to go to ASW; I'm planning on being in Dallas visiting family(during that week and the week after), which is less than 4 hours away from Houston.
See, that's what I'm talking about. None of us know what surprises Jordan Brand has, but I was mad when I heard that there were tons of Concord restocks at last year's ASG. The potential for a restock is there if you consider last year!
