Man I am having the most difficult time trying to find a pair of 3M fire reds. Searched eBay Craigslist and amazon. I looked in the forums for them and no luck.. If you kno anything pm me plz, thanks in advance.

I have it but most likely not in your size. No one want to buy it for some reason lol.

Picked these up twice already! LOL

you must me da man wit all da inside hookups

As we have seen time and time again, Fire Red anything is pretty easy to cop. White/red colorways aren't as hot as other ones. Lesson learned, I hope.

They didn't sit like most fire red colorways, so no lesson learned. These were def harder than the FR 3s. Not super hard, but def not as easy. Fire red colorways aren't the only ones that "sit".

I didn't say they would sit. I said they would be easy to get. I saw some at Champs two days ago.

These things are butter

Damn man if I miss out on any other releases this year I won't even be mad

 

[beelzebub45]

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

It's a shame that I just had to go to google to find out that these retroed last month. Gotta get these. I'm not even worried about the upcoming Jordan releases until I at least get the Navy pair. Easily one of the most underrated sigs ever.

Agreed, I think they came out nice. I had lil uneven paint and glue but not even complaining. It's a fresh shoe.. The sizing still needs some help tho. Even after sizing down .5 they are big, but think ill try insoles.

So guys, quick Q.
This may have been answered already but do tell; do these have the "twenty-thirteen" insignia etched on the tongue just like the Grapes(I think) and last year's Fire-Reds?
Appreciated.

Just got mine in the mail. They look great but disappointed to see a paint chip on the shark teeth. Gonna have to hit that with a sharpie

 

[babyjs23]

Mine came in today and had a few small flaws, but it doesn't bother me any. It's not like people are gonna be checking my shoes out with a magnifying glass to see the flaws.

Flaws or no flaws, they will wear out and eventually be flawed...by me.

Onto the Bel Air V's

i never have issues with the quality of my shoes. I do feed into the people who do their own quality checks by performing my own

Btw quise2024,
Care to check both feet of your black grapes?Mine came through just this afternoon and only the right foot got the "Twenty Thirteen" insignia. The left foot's got nothing; though I'll go check again for good measure. And I compared with my '12 Fire-Red (which got the insignia on both feet mind you) and that of the grapes appears much smoother.
I kid you not. Thanks in advance.

Might want to check them again. I felt on both feet and the "TwentyThirteen" is on the outside of the tongue on the left and right shoe

I bought these the day they released at local footlocker and the quality on mine is overall pretty really happy with these probably my favorite retro. what little flaws i do see dont bother me much because i plan on wearing these so will get beat up either way.

 

[rowdyrocket25]

Nice collection.. Regret selling my Stealths until today... Still on the hunt for the Toro's for a good deal. Hoping JB retro them soon.

But there aren't any stealths there...lol. But yeah the Toro's are awesome. Definitely one of my favorite.

Rechecked and I can definitely confirm that I've been had. No etching and the left shoe and that on the right shoe is barely even visible.
I'd take some pics but I'm just too damn pissed right now.

[quise2024]
