I dont get why people dont like these at all. Doesn't anyone remember that when the first Foams and some Js first came out, it hit the outlets and it was being sold for $20 and even $10 for the Banned 1s at places like Dr Jays. Wait most people dont remember because they were probably still in pre-k.
Im kinda glad people dont like these as much so that the resale value will be close to retail price for now. Since this was a "mistake" its only bound to raise in price.
My pair is flawless so I dont really consider is "b-grades" B-grade are products made with defects, the only defect i see on them are black soles. Not a defect to me. For Nike or JB to have made so much of them like this is not a defect! It was intended.

yup back home in Cali.. just missed the opening of Nike DC in Georgetown... it was nice getting pairs a little earlier living in the east coast.
shipping is so slow to cali, I would hate if i had an estimated arrival date for friday, that if they missed that day i would have to wait till the following monday :x

funny thing about this color... I was in Brooklyn around 09 I wanna say, and the Africans were selling fakes in this same colorway, and yeah I saw a few people rock em , may have been a little darker gray around the toe box cant remember, but it look exactly the same, funny how fakes come close to the real, passed on these but congrats to all that got a pair, iam sure the value will sky rocket in a few years..

Real nice. Glad I picked them up. The one shoe has a couple creases in the midsole but other then that they look great. Wish I would have picked up another pair to wear. To the closet these go.

Got mine in today, they look a whole lot better in person, even the contrast stitching. Kinda wish i had gotten a 9.5 instead of a 9 didnt realize theyd be so snug. Also i dont see these hitting real high resale prices like the banned 1s that alot of ppl are comparing them to. The leather is no where near the same, colorway's not exactly anything special and lets be honest 9s have never been the most popular shoe. Imo they'll probably peak at 400-500 (closer to 400 tho) in a few years, unless the jordan bubble pops sooner, which i hope.

They look a lot better in the photos here than they did with the stock photos.
