So glad I copped. Wa a bit iffy about the patent leather but man ok feet these exceeds my expectations. About to head out and scoop a second pair.

My local FTl had reserve but they were selling them regularly on shelf too.
 
Got these through the DTLR raffle.
I like these a lot. I always liked them back in 07., but just never got to get them. Maybe it’s my age, but do anyone here just isn’t feeling the same excitement of getting shoes anymore? Like, it’s a “blah” type of feel?

May be b/c recent retros, despite not being perfect, have been the best we've seen in decades, and tons of OG colorways as well. I'm feeling pretty satisfied with my collection at the moment and even offloading more than I just don't wear even when they're super sweet (ex. PSG 4s, which are great quality and look amazing).

All I'm looking forward to are the WC4s. And, realistically, I'll be happy to have them back in rotation, but I doubt they'll give me any super amazing feeling as I have so many amazing sneakers to choose from each day.
 
I went ahead and copped, friend convinced me on not to pass on them.

But I won't rock right away. Just for the simple fact its not a immediate need.

Most likely will do the same with Black Metallic 5s next month as well.

Only gripe is the laces but nostalgia for the shoe is still there from 2007.
 
Nike employee store didnt stock the men black cat 3s at 10am to 12 pm (only toddlers) they wouldn't say when it will get stocked.


Picked up my footlocker and champ pairs. People are actually picking then up fast and not sitting.

They were on their pass play reserve. Pickup window open til Monday , probably release unclaimed pairs after.
 
Glad it was a fairly easy cop for who wanted them. I was on the fence and passed. The reminded me too much of them patent lemon peppper steppas I used to have to rock in the Army with my dress uniform 😂
 
These look mad small in hand. I had to look at the box a couple of times to make sure it wasn't like a size 9 or something.

These look better in hand to me. I'm probably changing to basic black laces though.
 
If anyone sees a 13 somewhere tag me please. Middle school I work/coach for has been playing in a tournament all day and we were playing during the drop. Got some down time before we play the championship here in a couple hours, so I’ll be trying to look out.


 
I want another pair now :lol

Wore this for drinks this evening and they feel great. It's been a while since Had a predominately black shoe.
 
Why are these hyped? Can someone please tell me lol

Basically resellers hoarding these on the off chance that they shoot up like the Black Cat 4s did in 2020.

Only explanation for why these are sitting in stores, but instantly sold out on Snkrs, FTL, JD, FNL like a botted 2020 release.
