Y'all crazy as hell but y'all still cool I guess, its all part of this sneaker community.

tell 'em. Its like clock work with every damn release. You could come with a top 10 checklist of things that will be said here after every release.

1. HOW DO THESE RUN?! I ORDERED MY PAIR AND AM TERRIFIED IT WON'T FIT..
2. NIKE.COM [INSERT BIG NAME RETAILER] WAS SO SLOW! COULDN'T GET THROUGH...I HATE MY LIFE
3. WAITED FOR 8 HOURS IN THE FREEZING RAIN AND COPPED MY PAIR WITH EASE

. YOU GUYS DOING IT WRONG.
4. COPPED.
5. QUALITY ON THESE IS TERRIBLE!! GLAD I GOT MY PAIR THOUGH

6. YA'LL JUST HATING BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T GRAB A PAIR...
7. FINALLY GOT MY MONEY BACK FROM FINISHLINE 3 WEEKS LATER AFTER THEIR PHANTOM RESTOCK.
8. FINALLY GOT MY SHOES FROM [INSERT UK SITE HERE] THAT I ORDERED IN APRIL JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS

9. ON TO THE NEXT ONE!!
10. SO I EXAMINED MY PAIR WITH AN ELECTRON MICROSCOPE TODAY AND SAW A ALL THE ATOMS IN THE SHOE AREN'T TOUCHING. JORDAN BRAND QUALITY IS TERRIBLE.

    

 

[sportsjunkie]

i went to DTLR on 14 and U st on saturday morning in DC. It was about 30-40 heads out there in line. Lucky i was able to cop a 9.5

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

yes sir it's official FNL came thru for me good luck to those still in the hunt... it's crazy to i just received this fitted in the mail today a little bit after i checked my email and seen that my order was shipped good day for me

 

[sho3tym]

man...

had my usual 2 sz 11's locked up,

"somehow" they sold one of my pairs, now I need to find one...call me bitter but I'm not looking forward to tracking a pair down and going through all that nonsense...

 

[seanj4523]

These run a half size bigger

 

[genegreenrko]

^Thanks for the info.

 

[raptors29]

Does the material on these feel like the White/Red XIIs?

It's funny cause it's true...

  

 

[charmcitykid]

copped x3, but the ridiculousness that i had to go thru confirms i'm pretty much done with jordan retros. simply put, it's not worth the hassle. we all know, that all retros will be limited from now on. this is the only way they can prevent retros from rotting on shelves and hitting sales racks. this also ensures that many will line up, but most will miss out which will in turn fuel each subsequent release. add to that the horrible quality/shape, etc. and it is understood that this new era of shoe collecting is NOT meant for OGs, it's for the new collectors.

 

[younggambit]

Got shipping info from Eastbay.. Anyone in the Chicago area, be on the lookout at FNL in Yorktown next Tuesday! You didn't hear that from me tho. Good luck to those still in the hunt.

 

[seanerich19]

Yeah wassup with ndc?? Is that confirmation same as the email they send after u order... With the order number???

 

[seanerich19]

Oh and i didn't login when i order from ndc...how am i gonna check my order? Just call them?

lmao @ 5, 8 and 10

 

[mister704]

Got my shipping info from FML. Have to admit FNLs way they do online release it good. Being a software engineer...glad to see someone finally developed a system where it doesn't crash because it regulates the amount of traffic. All I did was pull up FNL website and waited for the ticker to count down while watching it on the windows 7 split screen and searching other sites. And after about 5 count downs...site opened and was able to order with ease.

FNL has my support for shoes. My first online order went much smoother than expected seeing that I almost destroyed my basement and LCD tv when I fell asleep at 11:50 est and woke up at 12:33am. Was so mad my wife had to calm me down. Could not believe I fell asleep 10 min before the release.

This release was the exception, not the norm for FNL...so don't get TOO confident in the future with them.

Typically, you would get through and order and go to sleep happy...laughing at all the people camping and scrambling...then on Tuesday they would tell you your order was cancelled...no reason, no gift card, no future discount.  

This time around it appears they had their stuff together...coupled with NDC falling apart (they used to be the steady lock) and Eastbay continuing their ways...Hope FNL keeps this going.

lmao at you destroying your basement over a pair of shoes though...

[coldcity]

got my tracking from end they should be here friday

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered two pairs but one on two separate orders

. Do they combine shipping and will they give me a partial refund and ship them together? Sorry for the questions but this is my first time ordering from overseas and how long does it usually take to receive your order from them? Thanks in advance

THIS! This is exactly what happened to me on the Concord release. I am proud to say that I have been "Finishline-Free" ever since

I make sure to exhaust ALL my options before I even think of shopping at FNL and even if they were the last resort with a FSR, I still wouldn't cop. It's THAT serious son!
