Yes, and happily.  Not to mention the More Uptempos are one of the most iconic shoes of the 90s.  I distinctly remember the only kid who had these in my class and staring at his feet like

EDIT

And yes, definitely Uptempos over VIs.  I just wore my BCIIIs today and I'd forgotten just how crappy JB quality had become (and how apparently that doesn't matter since their year over year sales are the highest in the corporation).  All the pictures I've seen of the leather on the VIs looks to be the same quality.

Yeah, hypebeasts are taking over. 89% year over year sales increase with this BS quality means it isn't gonna get better

Actually the quality on the BCIII's arent bad at all compaired to lets say the 2006 Milatary IV's if you want to get technical. And i saw tons of Olympic VI's for sale yesterday at Sneaker Con NY and the quality of those were excellent, maybe not the same as 2000 but definitely not as bad as your making every JB product seem.

will they sell thru their website too? 
 
@stabilz - not 100% sure but you can check. I think phone order will be easier because they sell out quick and usually take forever to update that website. maybe if you follow them on twitter that may help as well.

I will not wear them. Thought they were odd looking is the mid 90's and still feel the same way. 
I'm strictly sticking with the AF 180's. One pair is all I need. Hope they release. Wanted to pay the
expedited shipping and wear them to a July 4th party at my buddy's farm in the boonies. 
Beer, barbacue, bikes and .....
 
Called my local Finish Line/Champs. They've got the Pippens releasing the 7th. Weird how retailers have them the 7th and Nike Stores have them today.
 
Anyone in the Fort Lauderdale area Athlete Foot in the sawgrass mall has their shipment but they told my friend they are holding them for employees. Can anyone confirm this? A friend of mine who is down there says they're only selling a size 8. This is for the More Uptempos, they supposedly have a full size run.

Terrible if true.
