AJVI Infrared Pack *OFFICIAL THREAD* NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING/SPLITTING!

i'll just wait a little bit to obtain my pack. all this hype. i agree with sthebest that the longer you wait, the lower the price goes down. and the more hype a shoe gets (like this pack), the better it is obtaining a better and older ('99-'04) jordans since everyone is so focused on the current hyped shoe. more for me. hahaha
 
no regrets for me on this pack except i wish i woulda waited a little longer and got them a little cheaper (paid $400 shipped). other than that i'm very happy. def. more satisfied with the pack than i woulda been with the Vreds (even tho i coulda got both Vreds for $150 total on the 50
smh.gif
). not sure when i'ma pull these out tho. will prolly wait a while. i'm thinking next summer sometime.

[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]I compared the infrared shade of the 2000 retro and infrared pack, the infrared's between the two was obviously different.[/color]

The restock is coming from stores, I actually have a reciept from a store in Texas so..if your looking for the packs, try Finishline, and have them stock locate cause apparently they are still still sitting on shelves...

Good luck everyone!!!
that's where my FNL restock came from TX. I guess there was no demand in that city...

  
 
Went o my boys house on Friday night...After running and hiding from one of the extra 4 packs that he bought...I ended up picking them up. Was 'so,so' on having copped, but once I got them home and put 'em on...Couldn't be happier man! Brings me back to the J-days of old. Well, not completely, but at least as close as I've ever been! Not completely mad at JB...For a change! Could have done with an actual infrared lacelock on the White joints...as opposed to black.

Yes, I do own a pair of DS OG black infrared's.  That's a good idea.  I'll have to compare them when I get the chance.  I have them stored deep in my closet. 

But I'm 100% sure they will be different.  The truth is the '91 OG's, the 2000 retro's and the 2010 retro infrared's are 3 different shoes in both material and coloring.  (A lot of people seem to think the '91 and 2000 are almost the same, but they're not even close in material breakdown.)

I believe they are online only; they were restocks because some pairs got "stuck" in people's shopping carts on the website during RD after it crashed/sold out, and they were unaccounted for until a few days later when FNL had them for sale again.  Stores only got "restocks" from sales returns.  That's why I'm not surprised in reading about horror stories about pairs getting switched out on store bought pairs.  It could easily happen that way.
 
I finally got my pack today. I'm happy I passed on the VR's for these, Its not a big difference but I'm happy.

exactly.

people think this pack is hyped and will retain all of the hype later on? wait until later on when the cool grey xis come out. that would be the perfect time to buy this pack because all of the focus will be on those. and when white/cement IIIs and bordeaux VIIs drop, they will be nothing more than a fond memory commanding a mere $50 over retail.
  
 
$50 over retail is still $50. You can buy many things with other peoples' $50. Including more shoes for yourself if you add it all up!

lol bordeaux's? we off that my dude. they aint droppin. but i cant lie i am dissapointed at how this release turnd out...bet the whole script woulda been flipped if the V-reds were non-existant. trust n believe dat. but its hilarious how ppl dog out the infrareds. its the varsities that need doggin cuz becuz of them ppl dnt care about originality the whole mission behind tryna cop this AJ VI. the v-reds are basically knock off infras that u cop if u cnt get the infras. the imma settle for this shoe. it makes the hype lower, it lowers the chase, it lowers the want, n the value n if u walk on the street nxt to sum1 who knos jordan but not the shoes n he sees u wit the infras on n the next guy wit varsities on, how aint gon look at the color he jus gon say hey u two got the same shoe on. even when i copped the infras the finishline employee says to me "aint these the same thats over there" pointin to the previously released varsities. i did feel kinda dumb sayin its a different color....true story. now lets look at that situation if the varsites aint release or even f it was more of a noticable difference to the average guy...material different, reds much farther apart (im talkin the varsities close to burgundy), stuff u c when walkin not side by side....like who gon c ur air unit while walkin? what difference duz it make lol. i guess it all falls down to what u kno that U have n who cares what others notice...but truth b told we all want ppl to notice

why do NYC get re-stocks? because other areas in the country can't move products like here in NY. so we get the left overs and still sell out.

peopel make it seem like there's restocks everywhere...stop lying to yourself
