Not sure what the next J wave will be, but the hype around 11s and 1s will never go away. Those 2 are part of the culture permanently.Think we will see playoff XIIIs next year? My gut feeling says no. In five years what do you think will replace the 1 and IV and V hype we have now? My gut says VIII, XII, and XVII will be the next wave.
Thank you for that brother, I swear I had to be one of the luckiest shoppers on Ebay last night. Also i dont think he was signed up for the Ebay Authentication system. I cant wait to rock them and shine em up. What is good for shining the patent? I have used wd40 and it works wonders but smells like Wd40 lol.
Perfect price and pickup!I was just going to pay 370 for a used pair on Ebay and these pop'd up for 220 so I cashed in. They only have the 1 crease. What do you guys think?
I think with used shoes on eBay, they only authenticate if the shoe price is 300+. And new shoes 100+.
Right on brother I appriciate you letting me know that. I hate having to wait man I'm pretty good a Authentication and they dont make fakes in a 11.5 size. Idk why but they just dont.
man this couldn't be closer to the truth I hate buying off of someone who doesn't give a damm about the community or what the sneakers actually signify.
Everythings crazy. Scum are botting up or attempting to flip anything these days **** is out of hand.
I don't think anyone was talking specifically about shoes like these. To me, the bubble refers to virtually everything selling out instantly, and enough people being willing to pay resale prices to make it all worth the effort for resellers. We knew it was out of control when the freaking Air Raids, Barkleys etc sold out in three minutes. That's the bubble I'm talking about. Retros of the money OG Jordans are always a thing, and it fluctuates over the years. Most of them aren't "easy" to get ever, in the strictest sense of the word. But what's happening right now across the board is an all-time high of nonsense. People are buying things to resell with no thought given to what the demand is, and people seem to be paying resale just because resellers made them sell out instantly. It's a bizarre circle. At some point, a lot of people are going to stop caring and feeling like they need a lot of these releases enough to pay the extra tax. I mean, I'm a DIEHARD 30-year Nike/Jordan nut, with a strong income ... and I'm losing motivation. Imagine what the casual, hype-based buyers of the moment are going to feel like after this goes on long enough.
Don't put WD-40 on your shoes. For quick duty, I use alcohol free wipes. I also have some Vernis Rife patent cleaner/conditioner I bought from Amazon.
that goes for any brand not just the jumpman
. Welcome to the new sneaker norm.
Ahhhh welcome to the party fellah! Good to see they arrived in great condition.Playoffs have officially landed! So nice in person I love these the outsole should be way brighter but other then that there perfect! Very slight creasing on the toe.
I'm really stoked to finally have these in hand in the right size and everything. Thanks for the invite sir haha.
Does the patent leather cleaner also help with cracking?
People have been talking about the sneaker bubble bursting for years. The bubble was supposed to burst most recently when Covid broke out, but the bubble just got bigger
Everyone started spending their unemployment checks and stimmys on shoes.
Wow man I'm stuck on Unemployment while I look for a new job after mine closing down. I'm surprised so many people are able to do that. I have bought a few over the Year or so we've been laid off but damn man people who can get every release are getting govt money and more on the side. Unemployment pays bad.
Yeah and i didnt mean that in a disrespectful way at all. People are just being resellers and trying to make a buck. I cant blame them when times get hard and its a hustle that you know.
I know I'm going to sound crazy here but stick with me. This Lace company I ordered laces from for my fresh prince 5s has the OG thick Jordan XI laces I just got my pair in from Rope Lace Supply and man they are noticeable thicker in hand. I'm sure not many will care but it's kinda cool lol.
Thicker laces are in the shoes retail are out.
