I want to see these in person before judging...I just hope these don't crease as much as the older retro....

Ive only wore my 05 three times...so they are pretty much brand new. Im not trippin that they are deadstock, its not like Im going to resell them. They were my first pair of XIII and they got the 3M so they mean a little bit more to me than the new ones. For that reason I want to keep them on ice. I think its funny how much you care what I do with my shoes or let alone my moneyOriginally Posted by dtb00201

That makes no sense. So basically you're saying you're going to put a used pair of 2005 retros on ice because they have 3m and buy 2 pairs of 2010 retros to wear casually and play basketball in. So by this logic you will have 3 used pairs of flint 13s and won't even be wearing the one you really like the most. If the 3m means that much to you why would you buy 2 pairs that don't have it ? I could see if your 05 pair was deadstock and you wanted to grab the new pair to beat around in, but this isn't the case. You said on the last page you planned to stop wearing the 2005 pair.

I would rather ball in those '05's than the 2010's, because the retros nowadays are built for "lifestyle" purposes, I don't like it, but it is what it is.Originally Posted by welcome2jungle
well sum people look at their sneakers like wine.. you dont drink the wine you keep it nice for decoration. much props 2 dat i had a pair of 05s i wouldnt rock them either.. beat up the lesser quality one the 2010 version.. you made it this long and kept them clean no reason to dirty them up now for a pick up game of ball

No I definitely agree, but these were an anomaly. My pal also tried them on - he's a a 10.5/11.0 - and his toes were wiggling near the tip. Again, the shoes were a size 12.0! It's probably the excess padding on the shoe that'll flatten out a bit once they get broken in, but just trying them on and comparing the sizes of the soles to my feet - I was wearing size 10.0 AM95s - and it looked like an 11.0.
I'd also like to repeat that the quality on these are GREAT- comparable to the '05. I can only hope the rest of the XIII retros are the same.

I hope they don't resell for anything, or sell out, makes it easier to buy them on release day.

Or he's a hypebeast. People come out of their caves when a shoe is hyped and will resell for a high price.Originally Posted by koncrete kickz

this guy must be a reseller, only a reseller will worry about a release selling out... i hope they dont sellout, whats wrong with a release sitting for a while ? nothing is wrong with it imo
