They were cancelled orders (people who changed their mind) from saturday that were put back up for sale. There was a fsr but it also sold out. I was able to add a 9.5 to cart to see if it was there and it was, but I didn't buy them.

The blue on these are too much. If they kept the elephant print black or grey, it would have looked better. This was an EZ pass for us. I was surprised they sold out on most of retailers online. I suspect a lot of pairs will show up later from returns.

I don't know man, not because it's my brother, but a lot of people think they like a certain shoe so they cop two or three if not more and it turns out that it isn't what they expected or had hoped for so they return the shoe. I don't think people should be stuck with shoe's, even though it does suck that a lot of people buy large quantities with evil intentions.

I like them and it sucks that I no longer have a pair, but I do think that they sold out because of resellers. I'm not saying there's a resale market for these shoe's because there really isn't, but a lot of resellers had to fulfill a lot of pre-orders and there were those resellers that probably thought that these shoe's would be the next big thing since it's the first Retro 3 of the year and a brand new colorway. But, apparently this shoe didn't catch on and I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of returns or restocks on store shelves.

Why would anyone buy multiples of a shoe, with the intentions of keeping them, if they aren't sure they actually like it?

I always double cop on 3's and 11's purely because they are my favourite Jordan, regardless of if I like the colourway or not.

I don't know man, it's never happened to me, but I like certain shoe's regardless of color (as long as they aren't hot pink), if I believe I can wear them and have enough money I would surely make an attempt at buying at least two pair's. For instance, the Jordan's I like are 1,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13. It just so happens that next month there's a possibility the Green Oregon Duck V's, and Infrared/Black 6's release right along with the White/Infrared 6's in February. The Oregon Duck V's are a green based shoe, something I've never purchased and the same for the all red black/Infrared 6's but if there was a chance I could get two of each shoe I would most definitely would. I know how they look based on the images surfacing NT on their respective threads, but those pictures are taken in a controlled environment under a certain lighting to benefit the shoe. Who knows what they really look like held in person and in real lighting, it may cause a lot of people to return them. On this thread alone, the Powder Blue 3's weren't everything some people expected and a lot of them returned their shoe's, a lot of people backed out of purchasing the shoe when different pictures surfaced because the difference in the shades of blue. So, there could be many reasons why someone would buy multiple (at least two) pairs of shoe's and then return them, unless they just really like the shoe model itself and add it to their collection but never wear them which may also happen with a lot of people because who knows the place in history of these color's down the line. They could very well be considered OG colorway's to other people 20-30yrs from now, even though they're new to us now.

I saw these in person yesterday at my local mall. Not impressed. The materials did not do it for me. Neither did the color.
Glad who ever wanted a pair was easily able to get them....

By the way... On a more positive note I think Nike is using a new method of paint on the midsoles.
While I was looking at them at the store, I dug my nail into the midsole trying to scratch it and it seemed like it wont be cracking or peeling. That is a very good thing.
Don't worry guys, Nothing happened to the shoes.

Damn, that's a messed up way to test out a new theory lol I can only imagine what would have happened if something happened to the midsole and another fellow NT'er purchased the pair haha.

Well actually, he was going to return them and my mother offered to buy them for the price he had hoped to sell them for. So, I'd say it was my mother's fault for seeing more long term value in a shoe that had just released for the first time than anything. I mean, she is the one encouraging him to find a legal way to make as much money if not more than he would working a 9-5 while he graduates college. She thinks that he should be putting more effort into school and if he needs money, he should get it the easiest, least time consuming way possible, so she isn't so innocent when it comes to encouraging his reseller mentality. Every weekend since the 3LAB5's they're asking me which shoe's are dropping and even though I tell them they hold no resale value, and there's a very limited selection of shoe's that actually do, they both seem to ignore those words of advice from me.
