Air Jordan 14 Retro - "Black Toe" White/ Varsity Red/ Black ~ Summer 2014 RD: 9/20/2014

 
These are a nice shoe for the fall IMO, I don't see myself buying any other Jordans for the rest of the year...some Playoff 13's would've been nice, and those 6's, I'm kinda over it, as my favorite pair which I have are the Olympics.
I still haven't worn my Olympics. the midsole just pisses me off. I wasn't following Jordan releases like I used to when those released but I just happened to catch that release on the actual RD on eastbay. Checked out so fast I didn't even realize they flipped the midsole until after the fact

. contemplating repainting it myself but I don't want to mess them up even more
 
Copped a laptop instead of these Saturday. If I can get em on NDC I'm in. Those Elmo Ferraris got nothing on these. JB gimmick at its finest...
 
Now I will say if the Ferraris were some type of BIN release or something idk, and it featured real, thick carbon fiber on the teeth and midsole, they'd be a hot ticket.
 
Can't believe these are still available. If only they were all this way.


makes you wonder how many black red vi they will make if they have been releasing tons of vi and xiv retros this year...


one BILLLLLLLLLLION black infrared vi retros this black friday :lol

Demand for the "VIs" will be greater so hopefully they did produce more of those and everybody who wants can cop team retail...

With all that Real carbon fiber that would be one uncomfortable and insanely overpriced shoe

Straight raffle material
 
?

The shoe is $150

The cheapest shipping they offer is $12

So the cheapest they go for is $162
Its funny how ppl forget about shipping, but to feel better they just focus on retail price minus shipping
 
these sat when the OGs released.. so much they went to the outlets and thats where I copped mine..deja vu.

black toes (NO RIBS), last shot, and indiglos.. thats all you need on the XIVs
i guess ferrari if you like whats hype :p

i love when shoes sit.. has some psychological thing going, if these sold out quick with no restocks, i prob would have been hitting myself like man i shoudl've copped. its also a benefit because when you feel/know a shoe is going to sell out, Nike makes you end up buying more shoes you don't really need--so when they dont sell out, it doesnt make you feel bad. all releases should be like this.
 
OK I just received mine and can share e few impressions before I upload the video for them:

- These are TTS at best, don't ever go down half a size on them, even in my regular size it will probably take time to loosen up a bit and feel comfortable, that being said I could have grabbed half a size big and be fine too.

- Over all craftsmanship is OK, nothing too special, but nothing to really complain about, if I have to be knit picking, there are small parts where the outsole is not completely glued on tot the midsole, but they are very small. 

- No glue stains, I guess I got lucky

- No crazy glue smell that makes you lose grounds when you open the box, similar to last years V's and lll's

- What is up with the heel padding, its hard as a rock, I don't remember being like this back when they originally dropped, I know the inner liner use to be suede/nubuck type of material, but the padding it self is super hard, like there is a very dense memory foam in there???

- Both Jumpman's are facing upright :-) again, got lucky...

That is it for first impression. 
 
Early delivery from eastbay today.

Do eastbay allow returns on jordan retros? I know some footlockers dont allow you to
