NT is a pretty good place to gather a consensus on if a shoe is gonna be hard to get but with this release it is was totally off. I thought these would be super easy to get. Seems like 75% of people STILL talking trash about these but some how everyone still bought them. "My 04s are so much nicer" but ill rock these. Why in the world would you buy a duplicate of a lesser quality shoe?? You DONT have to actually purchase them when its your turn, open box look at them buy or walk. Jordan has people hooked. Buying something you don't even like sounds like a fiend to me. Im mad.
Exactly, I checked this thread out the week leading up to the release and there was nothing but hate for these shoes.
No 3M, blah blah blah, the red isn't right, cry cry cry.
Now everybody that hated on them wants a pair or bought a pair and is still hating on them.
I actually wanted this release because it was the first pair of jordans that i worked for and payed for with my own money.
I worked 40hrs at 6 bucks an hour, got my check and bought them 2 weeks after they were released back in 98.
Funny enough they were the last pair i bought for about 5 years, why?
Because it was an irrational purchase, my check was $180 after taxes and i spent $150 of it on shoes.
Fast forward to 2013 when i can actually easily afford my obsession with shoes rather than beg, steal and rob like i see some dudes doing to buy something they don't even need. I walk into Nike Chi to pick up my rsvp and the damn shoes have a scuff across the toebox, leather literally ripped.
I ask for another pair and they say its the last size 13, i say i'm good, cashier and 3 other people standing around literally look at me crazy like why not?
Shoe game has gotten out of hand, on my way out i see about 30 vultures waiting for 10am so they can go in and buy all rsvps and gs sizes not picked up.
Don't know how old you dudes are but back when these were first released, nobody had camera phones nor gave a d*mn if they had 3m or not.
I understand wanting something to be as close to OG as possible but are we really that concerned about how shoes are going to look when someone takes a picture of us?
