Its just something we have to deal with

I disagree, I got some DS OGs for $250 just last month, you guys just CHOOSE to deal with this. A guy on Ebay had all OG color ways up for $250 and they sat for days.

so clean 

 

[mj4ever2320]

the only thing that scares me about by these is the fear of the soles yellowing like my 2004 pair. what do you all think, any one have same problem with their 04 pair?

 

[dimez81]

I've been also seeing a lot of 04s up lately too...I think a lot or people are selling now cause the hype. There is even another ds og in my size up for ebay. Thats to ds pair in less than a month...unheard of in my size since so rare. def should keep an eyes out.

Outta here with that

I plan on getting the same size I've always bought, not going .5 down

I agree. I wasn't liking what I was seeing so I went back and got another pair of OG's. After seeing them in person, I'll decide if I'm going to get another pair.

I will say that a lot of people never had OG's so they have lower expectations, and have nothing to compare it too.

I feel what you guys are saying and I do agree but at the same time I rather not spend 250+ on an older pair and I think you got a steal on that 250 price.
Im just starting grad school so I gotta save a few bucks when I can especially when it comes to buying kicks. But I agree the previous releases of these are better no doubt.

This. Been getting the same size since my foot stopped growing 10 years ago. Not sure what this size obsession is in every thread.

I've been trying to figure it out too.  Every thread...."are they TTS?"......"should I go .5 sz down?".....

 

[LoX]

Sticking TTS for me...I like a little extra room...Hopefully just not 2010 TB IIIs extra room...

 

[papercash]

this is going to be a tragic release, the numbers on these I've been hearing are not good at all smh

 

[boader254]

girl on price is right wearing them right now

Shes about to show them off in the showcase showdown

Probably. Same thing happened to mines. This was the main reason that had me considering passing plus the fact the soles are dirt magnets. But after seeing all these crispy pics I'm sold. Just gotta expect the inevitable eventually.

Talked to my local footlocker they said 12 pairs, then champs said 18, then when i asked at finish line the girl was clueless and looked at me like i had 3 heads.. a local spot said that they are going to have a ton of pairs so i'm most likely going to try there

General release but this shoe is something special to a lot of people...Newbies and Brett Favre types coming out of retirement for these.  This will be my first Jordan purchase since the Concords...

Side note...the shiny/plastic/chrome looking lace hoops at top look really cheap in person...No matter...will be wearing with jeans 80% of the time anyways...

Honestly I don't think $190 is bad considering release date is the 21st.

These will sell out and I believe in the days after the release prices will be around $230-250, any one agree?

Try $290-$320

Probably gonna have a bunch of resellers posting for $275-$300 right after release.  I think avg resell price should be around $240-$250 though.

 

[bence23]

You new kids kill me. all you guys care about is reselling. Just cuz people gonna post em for that much doesn't mean thats what they're gonna get.. !%%! even beloved shoes like the 3s go for like 230.
