Mmmm... you do realize that these are international release only right?  So unless you don't live in the U.S. the chances of you copping these for anywhere close to retail are ZERO.  I'm predicting resale prices will hit $475 as soon as they release.

Another prediction... the white/infrareds will be similar to the Orlando 7's and feature some sort of funky scribble design (or maybe splatter like the oreo's) on the midsole.  I'd bet my collection on it.

Deal. If youre right, Ill give you $1.

o_O
 
My vote is for jb to make the 6 a NikeID, and give us all the O.G. colors + more and all the O.G. materials + more,and let everyone go crazy. charge us like $200 a pair and call it a day.
 That will solve this problem, and we will all be sooo friggin happy. /end of story.   

I know it wont ever happen, but jb could bank off of that so hard. I would make 2 pair a week probably!!  

Fug being that everyone is so anal about the last releases, jb should do this with every number Jordan. Everyone will always be happy and have the colorway in the materials we love.
c'mon jb think about it. That would be to easy for you though, Shoot you could even charge $400 a pop, and ppl would do it.  (hence $850 a pop for some, IMO CORNBALL Bespokes)


I'm In
 
I've had both the og infrared vi, sold the white air and still have my black pair. Would just like to get another white pair so I'll still cop. Honestly, I doubt JB cares about the people complaining. Those who know the history of the shoe or know that it is the newest Jordan in the store will cop. Buy what you like. Stop complaining about the quality. Next thing you guys will complain about the quality of your shirts that are made in china and would hope it was like og shirts that were made in Vietnam.

Wow i guess nike will hire anybody if you really work for them

This explains the low quality Jordan's

Just because he doesn't speak English that well doesn't mean you bash him. He's worked on J's before. If you don't know him, or what he has done, how you guna bash him? For all you know, he could be on here to help out with knowledge or something. You a shoe designer? You been running your mouth on this thread for a while, but seriously man, stop threadcrapping and bashing people. You haven't helped this thread out at all. The least you could do is chill out and get back on topic. Seriously...

It is confirmed international release, and it is suede. We're still waiting for pics on the white/infrareds (To see what JB did to them). If you have nothing to contribute to this thread then I suggest you %!++. Idiots like you get threads locked. Posting in a large font and oversized pics.

Go form your JB revolt somewhere else. I bet you could go to ISS and tell them to go on strike from JB. They'd even laugh at you.
 
Will you two shut up already. I am so sick of coming in here only to see you two triple quoting each other with big graphics and big font taking up half my page. I'm coming in here to see if any new pictures or information are out, not to see people arguing over nonsense. Seriously, if you guys want to do that, exchange AIM names or something because this is contributing nothing to this topic but headaches.
 
international release only, i hate gentry. i know he is the one behind this pack. why does the US only get the v/reds why the rest of the world gets v/reds and infrareds. what is wrong with jb's marketing team. great way to maximize profits. jb is headed by a bunch of damn idiots.
 
they cant mess up the white pair too can they? cause the black pair is jus awful wit the suede, i want to atleast get the white if they do it right.
tired.gif
 
Until I see pics of the white/infrareds, I'm just going to cop the white/varsity pair and be happy that I won't have to stress over getting this pack and the big coin I would have to drop to do so.

Unless...the white/infrareds are totally on point, then I'll split this pack w/someone.

Exactly what this guy has said.
I can't believe some of the absolute dribble I am reading on here and the same people whining about the thread being locked are the same people who have about 50 posts in this same thread which have contributed absolutely nothing.

On the other hand I do appreciate Zero 0123's Korean translations at least, but c'mon guys lets keep it moving...
 
this thread is terrible.

Designers dont always get to choose what materials, colorways or decide the cost of production, that is always up to the big dogs.

Designers are given a list of materials to use, often suede and durabuck because its inexpensive.

So even if a JB designer wanted to use premium leather on the infrareds its not up to him, hes told to use suede so thats what we get.
 
I just want to add that as far as JB saying that they want to keep the integrity of the older retro versions and OG's by using different materials and no NIKE AIR now.. and give respect to the collectors.. and keep the value of the shoes genuine.. and blah blah Busheet busheet busheet..

That's a load of crap. The White/Infras have never been retro'd. How can all of that be true?
laugh.gif
They're playing us because they know the shoes are like a drug to us. We're screwed.

If you think that is English, then you really must have been studying in a different place. Grammar, Punctuation, and Spelling were all over the place. I never knew "worken" was a word. Fail.

But back on topic, the Infrared Pack is confirmed in Korea and China, but hasn't been confirmed in the states yet. I was just at a few local places and they still couldn't order them, but then again, they still don't know what is going on with the Silver Anniversary XI's that are dropping in two weeks. We'll have to sit tight for more info on these. I got my packs locked up in Korea already.
