How do you know his credit card was declined? You got proof? For all we know, it was a cancellation, it could've been extra inventory that Eastbay decided to hold on to and chose not to make available on the 10th. How is it that all of a sudden, on the same day I ordered the 10.5, there were others here who were also able to cop size 10s, 10.5s, 9s, 9.5s, 11s, and 12s - ALL ON THE SAME DAY? That was no credit card decline bro.
And I wouldn't consider it "taking food off someone else's plate." It was more like I went for seconds because the chef had some leftovers in the fridge.
He's trolling

Don't think I'll be seeing a pair for a while
thinking about just buying one of the gs sizes that's sitting at DTLR and either giving them to my sister or flipping them to be honest. Looks very plush in person.
To everybody who offered me a pair earlier, thank you for the offers! Got some resell prices and some slightly below resell prices that I couldn't deal with but I definitely appreciate them.
Need a consignment shop near me

You'd figure with his income and price of his car he would have paid for it in full or paid it off by now and save on interest. No point in keeping a payment if he already has an 800 credit score. Based off of his SN, I think i have some idea where you would be paying 400.00 a month for mortgage.

A few days ago the topic of resellers came up. What some people don't realize is that Air Jordan "re-selling" has been around since the mid-late 90s when we, the sneaker nation, was doin it with the OG J's. There were no crazy raffles, no bots, no sneaker sites that published RD's in advance, no tweets... u just had to know who to talk to and network among the people who worked at the stores. EVERYTHING was fcfs. Shoes weren't as "limited" because they were originals and all of em were pretty much GR's. And here's the kicker: there was no strict enforcement of the one pair per customer rule. Hence, collectors, hoopsters, and yes, resellers, would cop multiple pairs at a time, which created scarcity and eventually the shoe would sell out within a day or two, thus creating demand. It was very rare that Nike would re-stock because a brand new colorway was set to release within a couple months.
I remember when the OG 12s dropped for the '96-97 NBA season, the first colorway to drop in the fall was the taxi. Instant sell out- retail was about $125 or so (cant exactly remember off the top of my head) and resale price reached upwards of $330. By Christmas u had the Obsidians, which was another sell out. Before the All-Star break, MJ had already broke out the white/red 12s (I refrain from calling them "Cherry" - that's the worst nickname ever for a pair of J's) during away games. Mike wore the taxis primarily during home games. So by Feb., the white/reds dropped and sold out instantly but all the hype that year centered around the playoff 12s, which was the last colorway released right before the playoffs started. Resale was easily in the $300-350 range.
Believe it or not, resale value was actually higher for GR og's back then than they are now for retros and remasters, particularly because there weren't really such things as "limited size run pairs" or "quickstrikes" or "special collabs" which are the types of pairs that generally have high resale prices nowadays.
Pretty lengthy but hope you enjoyed taking a trip back in time with me....I miss the good ol' days when sneaker collecting was much much simpler, obtaining a pair was hassle-free, and people actually appreciated re-sellers because 99.9% of the people who copped em for retail WORE THEIR J'S! Which means if they were still available for re-sale, you were getting a very limited aftermarket DS pair in spite of the $150 markup because more than likely there was only a handful left out in the market that hadn't touched concrete.

Today's first wear
Glad I went a half size down from my true size.
Did you go half size down on Chicago's too, or a half size down from those on these? I haven't worn my UNC yet, but got 9.5 in both, and just after trying on thought they both fit about the same. I can feel my toes at the ends when I walk in Chicago's, but my heel feels like there's a bit of room. Wondering now if I shoulda went with 9's
I've always just stuck with 9.5 in J1's for the narrow toe box, but 9's in most everything else. I hate that we can't try sizes in current stuff given the scarcity.
