Got my SB pair from ebay yesterday, the process from purchase to authentication to delivery was about a 7 days total. Not bad.
The shoes are beautiful. I really love the 8's. When they first released I bought the black and red colorway on the spot. But i didn't wear them for about 2-3 months. When I finally wore them I was just blown away by the comfort. The insole they used on the OG's were just really really plush and soft. In that time that passed I missed the SB and Christmas releases and was upset because If I knew how they felt then, I would've got both pairs. Safe to say I didn't miss any of the other releases and I doubled up on the all blacks. (Still hoop in one of the pairs)
The SB 8's are and absolute classic. I actually wish they were released in GR Jordan retro numbers.
