Just Don x Air Jordan 2

[akuratl02]

X1,000,000 to the bolded

Im sick of reading the "they are a business its okay for them to ream us" or some dumb quotes from FANTASY wealth films like Wall Street, The Wolf Of.., Money Ball, etc...

My breaking point has already passed. I havent bought a pair of Jordans since Concords low. Im glad I struck out on Legends and Infrareds. As bad as I would like to have the Chicago 10s and Bred 1 lows i will not give Nike/JB another one of my hard earned dollars. The money I have been saving from shoe releases will go to a possible project car or stay in bank and stack. I have been giving a strong thought to putting my Olive IX/Powder X/Chicago I to the side and giving my 100+ pair of Jordans to a church or shelter. Im not feeling Jordans any more. This brand prestige is going down the toilet. Nike has let the paranoid, google search era yuppies turn the brand from INNOVATION into HYPE. Every week its an expensive gimmick and a goose chase to go along with it. Nike was juggernaut in the 90s and did not have to resort to this weasel like business to push kicks and influence. Nike used to respect and be grateful for its consumers. Thank you notes on the box. Motivating product description and advertisment. Fair pricing. This is what helped create the culture of sneaker collection. Now its a soulless hobby and sheep typical reaction to its downfall is just "u mad" "u old" or my favorite since the fraggle rocks dropped "u salty".

While I do agree with 100% ... There is a but though. As the OG's have said before, I remember Jordan releases (more than a few but I can not recall how many exactly) would literally sit on the shelf in V.I.M. until they went on sale. The majority of us couldn't afford Jordans then, and even though pairs sat, dudes were still snatching them right off of your feet (Pre cameras everywhere era) ... This is just another phase that Nike has let spiral out of control ... Back in the days you worried about the stick up kids, and now you worry about paying resale or crying about bots. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I wish these ***** was black though.

is real. you missed it thas it 

[h1]if you really want the shoe...[/h1]


[h1]"YOU GOTTA PAY THE COST.... TO BE THE BOSS" CONCEPT[/h1]


Nike don't want some kid complaining that they missed out... They focusing on those who can get it regardless @ retail or flip. Those who cop. will market their product for free


so boss up lil ***** 

who are u, kid? i'll tell u... ur the little green, rookie lame who is nike's target market, who obviously doesn't know any better. show me where the salt is in my post (i'll wait). if u woulda taken the time to read instead of posting some ol' wannabe "slick" response that essentially amounts to IGNORANCE, u woulda saw where i said i don't like/want this shoe. so how am i salty? u must have been waiting to use that gif since u joined last week, huh?

your post shows the thread your nothing more than an idiot willing to throw nike whatever your parents will allow u to spend. clearly, u are not a boss and it's obvious that u don't know what constitutes being one. falling for ridiculous, outrageous marketing schemes definitely isn't part of the criteria. and ftr, i could by this hat/shoe combo 100x over IF I WANTED TO. how bout u? but i digress bc jay-z said it best...

"a wise man told me don't argue with fools..."

 

[bishopstrongbow]

Plug from the crib just hit me... Gonna cost me a little more than I expected.. But still less then what those who paid for the hat paid in total...

 

[memphissfinest]

IT SEEMS THAT THE PURCHASE OF THE HAT DOES GUARANTEE YOU YOUR SIZE AND NOT JUST A SHOE

 

[charmcitykid]

These shoes are not for Regular folks

These are for SPECIAL FOLKS who SPEND $10000000 of dollars on Kicks and wear them MAYBE 5 times a year!


HELLO?

#SNEAKERHEADS

so hol' up, just because i'm a "sneakerhead" and i spend bands on kicks means i'm not a regular person? i mean, it's not like i'm a celebrity. it's not like i'm rich. i just hustle hard and buy wtf i want. to my knowledge, we are all regular folks in here. we just like shoes more than most ppl. just like some like cars or clothes or stamps or coins or whatever else more than the next person. does than mean they aren't regular ppl?

wtf is up with that flawed logic?

 

[k1cks0nmyf33t]

Just Don are selling them for $350 if you either buy the jacket or hat correct? Then Nike is charging $275 as there retail price right?

 

[charmcitykid]

also, just to be clear my post wasn't intended to offend anyone here who likes and plans to buy the shoes. hopefully all that want them TO WEAR will score.

 

[anthracite8s]

these are trash no matter what collab it is lol. like others have said in here, if this was just a gr from jb with no just don name for regular price they would likely sit. this thread would be 2 pages. funny how something as simple as a name can almost single handedly carry the shoe. it's a Jordan 2. why is it any different because it carries the name just don? JB could do a gucci or Louie voiton collab (don't know spelling, don't care..) and people would literally die over them

 sad state we living in

 

[dagreatist]

what about the jacket does that secure your pair too?

Regular as in a Person who buys shoes..

You are not a regular person who buys shoes..

Are you Paying over $200-300 bucks for shoes

Do you have more then 20 pairs of $200-300 sneakers with some that are UNWORN.

You my friend are not part of the Regular Folks, who buy shoes.

 

[robtoofresco]

Same song & dance every limited release about how "if these were a GR they'd sit" 

Don't y'all get tired of saying that?

 

[airraab]

They'll be back when these drop as well

Don't forget!

[joesmo]

Not really new to buying kicks but Im relatively new here at NT. I figured I'd come to this thread and try to like this shoe. Can't do it. Yall got it. I hope you style lords clean up. I will say this: If jb retros the 2s in the correct og mold then it'll trump this release in my book. Don't care how limited these are.

Also Don C 2s = filling pieces much. At least to me. Whenever i start to like these....i think of those and recant my sentiments.

Oh well. God bless those who are trying to cop. The people clamoring for these and the frags make me wanna buy a little stock in jb/nike.

Infrared 2's (and almost EVERY 2 this year) has sold out. That "they woulda sat in the shelf" argument stopped being valid eons ago.

And supreme used quilted leather WAY before FP.

 

[dis is it]

The jacket is ridiculous ... Idc what anyone says it's dope

Good for you man.

Buy what YOU like.

we all know nothing REALLY sits these days obviously. but these would have honestly very likely "sat" in modern terms. as in at least a few days to week(s). just saying

 

[charmcitykid]

i think the jacket woulda been the dopest piece of the trio if not for that terrible sig on the back. still would never cop it tho. the hat is the worst of the 3. all are bad tho. i think they shoulda done a black pair. and they should never have added that terrible quilt pattern. :x

the shoes should be all supple, butter, italian leather. and instead of suede it should be python like it is on the hats. i woulda been down for a pair then.

 

[textmasterflex]

Does anyone know where these are being sold tho? In which stores?

 

[yungchamp]

Damn this thread jumped since last time
I was in here!!! S'only a matter of time

 

[zerimar22]

It's a Chicago thing. The history behind the hats. Hard to explain.

But yeah copping the jacket gets you a reserved pair as well.

Cop me a jacket @BishopStrongBow, it's cold outchea! Lol
