Disagree...let's review

Concords - General release
Cement IVs - General release

For some (including myself), Playoff 12s > Cements...these will go fast and require game planning...and there will be people willing to pay reseller prices so the prices wont fall far if they do at all...the game has changed for a truly hot release...
    
The hype will not be as big as the cement 4s

you're forgetting that they cements hadnt been retroed since 1999. There are plenty of people who have already come through this thread saying how they're good on this release because their 2004s are still in tact. 

The anticipation of this retro <<<<< The anticipation of the cement 4 retro

I kind of see concords in a category by themselves, cant compare with these.  Cement 4s are a better comparison, but they hadnt retroed in over 12 years.  And I agree the anticipation for the 4s was a lot higher.

lmao if I can get two pairs then I'd def walk out with a pair on but if not then i'm either waiting til everybody +%$#+ up their pairs to rock mine or waiting for a beautiful day where i can't resist putting them on
 
Might not be able to cop this weekend hopefully resale price isn't too steep... I NEED these in my collection lol
 
I hope this release is similar to the cement 4s. There were a lot of people lined up but it wasn't chaotic.

Heard the mall by me has 90 pairs. 60 at champs, 30 at footlocker.

Most say TTS some say go down .5 a size.  I say stick with you usual size and don't make the mistake of it being too small.  Better to have a little extra room than it too small.

Thanks. But if the size difference is only half a size, i'd rather it be half a size smaller because you can always take out the insole. I got the V's in my regular size (9.5) and they crease like crazy because they are big. Same with the Bordeaux's
 
Most likely won't be able to cop. Not stating facts but these will sell pretty quick like in '04. Hopefully I can get a pair if a site restocks or ebay. From my experience on retro 12s, size down a .5. The retro 12s do not crease easily but the shoe to me is too heavy and roomy. Better worn if snugg fit imo.

Yeah, my white/red 12s barely have any creases. For those of you that have these & have worn them, do these crease easy or no?
