totally agree...and some folks keep forgetting microecon 101...something is only as valuable as what another person is willing to pay....

Not to be a d bag or anything...but AirUpHere23, do you know what your talking about....the whole point about the XI's...ANY XI's...is that they stand to be the most classic basketball shoe/pop culture icon of SEVERAL generations...I see hipsters wearing XI's as well as school kids as well as 30+ year olds...
The CDP XI still go for a premium AS do the space jams.....they are not any near retail anymore...they average $240+ on eBay and over $260 on the retail spots like UTA, PYS, etc....

I guess I just take exception because NT is split down the middle between the kids still in school and working adults...being on both sides of the fence at one point, I don't understand the knocking of someone because they are paying a small premium to avoid the perpetual and almost certainly unavoidable December 24th NT post of "DAMN FNL/EASTBAY/FL....STOOD IN LINE 5 HOURS AND THEY SOLD OUT MY SIZE 9..."

QFT. This is the realest statement from the JB Forum.

^^^^^
Both the airuphere 23 and litflynt is right on point. The airuphere23 is right because many people do spend more money than normal than just waiting, but its those peoples money and they should be able to spend it the way that they want to. Some releases should call for immediately buying such as shoes that are limited or a GR popular retro that will ideed sell out. Litflynt is right also because the 11s are popular and i dont see them after they sell out being anywhere near retail. In this case, if you are going to pay crazy resellers rediculous prices for them then why not just pay air randy or jay some extra dough get them early and stunt and also avoid any lines come release date.

Is white Marsh pretty crazy last year for the Spacejams?

Girls don't realize how played out they are (Any shoe) when they first come out because everyyyyone has them. Example, Flint 13's were soo played out the first week I almost paid someone 160 to just take them from me lol.

Flints "played out"?.... Thats dumb.

 

[solecity]

Are any places selling them for under $240.00 shipped?

yea super crazy so no need for u to come there and try and buy up the whole inventory. wont happen

 

[delete1234]

Gradeschool sizes are $110 or $115?

 

[pelimpe]

Let me put it this way... If you want them go early and u ll be fine. These were mass produced
But with that being said... They ll be sold out in most areas before noon. Depending on
How bad u want em... Go camp out ... Wake up early... Find ur connects.... Be a regular at 1
Store gt all ur shoes there .. Mke sure they knw u.. And I bet u ll gt ur shoes without hassle
Most of the time....
People wait until days before release date to try n mke it happen ... It might work but most of
The time u need to link up in a timely manner

Good of luck to ebdy though

DTLR doing a midnight release? If you guys do decide to go out there, be safe.

I have heard/seen midnight releases, and releases period get ugly in Bmore/PG county.

Yeah, it's kind of hard to believe that a footlocker would risk losing their JB account for you.

Let alone two Footlockers.

If these supposed Footlockers already told the public they are releasing and they don't even have any pairs to release, I'm sure someone will complain to Footlocker corp

If it happens though more power to you

 

[shake n bake718]

My spot has them but they want $300 for them

. They're making you buy the jacket and socks which I don't care for either.

I went to Owings mills last year for the space jams at midnight.... I usually do because I gotta be to work at 8am... I have seen worst... Like 2 other stores did it in there too... Got there at 10 and was 3rd... Hopefully I can find something like that again because of work..

 

[aquagrape2345]
