nah, rmk was $450 shipped (for my size 12, they're higher for the bigger sizes for some reason, i really preferred a 12.5 but that wasn't an option). small mark up to pay to absolutely ensure i get at least one pack imo. you can bet they're gonna go for a lot more than that from the resellers...
right now it's looking like i'll get at least 3 packs without camping or waiting in any lines (one with the $100 rmk mark up, one for retail + shipping, and one prolly with 30% off)...
either you can't read or can't do math, or both...

Hm...wonder if i can snatch this pack off any major website come release date. Sure as hell beats camping out for them, though on the plus side, it is warm in June, so camping isnt as hard as it is in Chicago during winter time.

I guess i should say to each his own..to me it jus seem like a huge gimmick

I dont disagree with you, sadly it will work for JB because sneaker heads will still buy the pack...

the varsitys didnt sit because of suede, they sat cause of the lame color red they used. i gurentee if the varsity was infrared, it would of be sold out instantly.

nah..not at all homie.. if they would have changed the suede to durabuck the rv would have flown of the shelves..like if this package would have used durabuck rather than suede it would have even more hype..but jb does this purposely so the worth of the og/2000 dont drop..just keeping the hype alive is their game..str8 playin puppet master to alot of people showing us that people will pay for what ever they put out..

I haven't wanted a Jordan release this bad since the OG Spacejams.
Copped 2X.
I don't see how this is a gimmick. The fans asked for something and they finally got it.
Jordan Brand has been beyond terrible since about 04 but I'll give them props on this pack. Resonable price, US release and 2 gorgeous OG colorway classics.

You asked for a pack?
You asked for suede instead of durabuck?
What's classic about black and suede?
They tacked on $10 for a box that wasn't even special.
Seems like the gimmick worked on you. Like I've been saying slap limited on anything, and watch them drool.

Am I the only one who noticed the sloppy paint job on the White/Infrared Pair in those pics??
I have been doing some heavy mental gymnastics on the sensibility of getting this pack. I think I am going to cop the Varsity Reds and have my own pack.. LOL I mean, A lot of people are going to be stressing, paying astronomical prices when basically the same shoes have/are releasing. I respect the fact that the latter are not "OG" colorways, but come on... The brilliant marketing of JB continues.. And thus, nothing will ever get better, it will only stay the same.

i would rather wait for true retro of the black/infrared colorway, i really dont care if i have to wait another 10 years. i simply dont understand how they couldnt make them durabuck.
i will probably try to get the white/infrared colorway eventually, but if people are going to be charging ridiculous prices il probably just pass on them its not that serious.
what i dont understand is how people flock to cop these packs, i really believe people have forgotten that shoes actually used to release individually and actually gave us a choice to only buy the pairs we wanted.
aside from the first DMP, every pack has been nothing but a gimmick.

Why does the infrared still seem so dark? Is it because there's varsity red underneath it?

I've been waiting for the white infrareds to retro since I started collecting in 05. Might be a gimmick to some but this is an opportunity for me.

lmao you people crack me up. Crying over a shade of red. No retro will ever be the EXACT same, whether it be the shade of red, or the material (durabuck or suede). What's funny is, JB doesn't care what you want, and they will still get their money. They are already %+++%*$ you guys over by releasing the EXACT SAME TWO SHOES THEY ALREADY RELEASED!!!
