Yea August has been brutal for my pockets too... Just glad its going to be an easy next couple months. Going to try for the DB5 and Lab5, but knowing my luck on limited release. It looks like it's going to be an easy Sept/Oct.
November light weight. I want the Laneys for sure. And if the NA BC3 really dropping during Black Friday.
December will be brutal again Taxis and Bred 1 for sure. Maybe the Gamma 11s depending on how it looks in person. Plus Xmas shopping on top of that.

i remember buying 2 pairs of the 06 and one of the pairs cloth under the mesh was all wrinkled and deformed
another pair had a small 2 but a gigantic 3 
and most of the shoes had crooked 23's either i sent one pair back or sold it for retail...a couple months later i sold the other pair...
I am definately keeping this pair... i think lol

JJ just notified me that my order was cancelled and they'll issue a refund. It'd apparently ran out; after I'd paid for it.

lol my pair came. the craftmanship on my pair is pretty good. only a tiny white dot on the rear black part of the midsole...which a sharpie should help
Now what the hell is up with the leather?? mind you i havent bought a white leather jordan retro since probably 7 years... The leather is worse than my flight 89 retro. and it smells like a roll of tape
with that said im completely satisfied. kinda bummed the lacelocks dont have nike on them but eh i probably wont use um anyways
and did anybody ever get the official reason why there is tissue around the tongue of the shoe? got my shoes looking like they ready to chow down on some kfc...
my last 6 shoe buys have been perfect. shaqnosis, shaq attaq, olympic fila hill 2 and all star hill 2, toro iv, and now black tongue v... shutting it down til the taxis
