It should be made illegal to leave your VIII straps undone -yes it's that serious

 

[beyond the glory]

one of the best colors of the 8s!

 

[nostalgia]

Was recently looking for a DS pair on ebay. Some ppl asking for around 300-350. Ridiculous. Shoe is nice, but not that nice.

They're not even DS though. And worse than that, they're creased slightly and scuffed. Why would anyone voluntarily pick those over any other pair just because of an upside down Jumpman?

 

[yadigjoey]

I need to find a fresh pair mine are damn near beaters.

 

[dlee2703]

I sold mine to a friend about 2 years ago for retail. I liked them but never was in love with them.

they most likely will paint crack after 1 or 2 wears

Classic shoe.. I had to double up on them..

They're very popular in my neighborhood. . Seen them all the time on other people's feet..

 

[lanzer23]

I still have mine. paint began to crack but i used to wear them for work.
I love the aqua's

 

[king26]

I wish I woulda known they would blow up like this when I bought mine. I beat mine the hell up. I mean... $90 for VIIIs? Used them as play shoes. And now they're worth $300. Ridiculous.

I sold mine too with similar sentiments. Great shoe, but i don't regret letting them go and don't miss them.

Playoff VIII's were better quality, wore them a lot and no paint chipping, wore the aqua's about 4 times lightly and they chipped 

 

[riverdale road]

Love my Aquas. No chipping after 10+ wears

 

[bdis1986]

I have two pairs ... feared the paint chipping situation so I doubled up .. still have one DS sitting on my shelf ...

also have the women's color way ..

I should've doubled up too upset I didn't. Love these way more than my Playoff VIII thinking about selling those along with my Cardinals.
