Wow, no restock? Got my pair, but I know how many people were looking forward for the restock! They have no "plans" but a miracle could happen?

LOL so they've said no restock on NDC, and they've said that it was an online only release (which is already false since they sold 3K pairs out of two malls in Houston). This doesn't exactly instill confidence that they are being honest about no in-store releases on 3/23.

If I'm wrong about the in store restock, cool, if I'm right, cool. Either way, I'm trying to find out for sure instead of speculating.

how about being careful period. some if not all sellers my try to cop a pair of sneakers from a early release site and then on release day they purchase the same shoe and swap it with the early release and claim its real. INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT THE SMELL OR EXCESS GLUE. LETS TALK ABOUT POINTERS TO MAKE SURE U HAVE A LEGIT PAIR. for starters i know in the inisde of each sneaker box there is a stamps on the inside of the boxes.....

Yeah, I've also noticed that on all Nike shoe boxes there is a suggested retail price tag which can be ripped off, fake/variants/early releases or whatever you want to call them normally have them as a complete sticker. Also, if you're unsure about your pair just check the insole of your shoes. Normally, in III's and IV's that I have owned so far they all say something like DURANPONTEX on the other side of the insole which is by JB. You should also seem some glue on the insole as well it should never be easily taken out.
Just something I'd like to share on people who don't know about it.
EDIT: Production dates and the US size sticker don't mean a damn thing.

This right here, I never understood why people would buy shoes off of instagram or twitter.
Yeah, I've learned my lesson from instagram sellers even though they have offered refunds it was too late when I found out about all the small details.

Now this is a good direction for this thread. (Or any thread.) Let's all collectively get together and dissect, gather data, and inform one another of these unauthorized abominations.

Exactly, I just feel like copping from Instagram can be very sketchy.

Being new to the jordan retro game I did not know you have to go half a size down for a TTS fit on some models. I was lucky enough to get an 88 pair off NDC and bought my regular size 8. Right away I felt the shoe a little off. I had recently bought the fire red V's as well but had never tried them on. So I went ahead and tried those on and those were worst than the 88's, they felt like clown shoes to be honest since they are heavy as well. I was lucky enough to catch a restock on NDC and bought a sz 7.5 on the fire red V's. I received them today and I can definitely feel the difference and they feel TTS now. I guess I will have to send my size 8 back to NDC.
Now the 88's are not as bad as the fire red V's but I know it is going to bother me that there a lil big than TTS and I like my kicks to be a snug fit. So my question to you veterans, since this shoe is so rare and the days are gone where you can go to a store and try them on before you buy or just exchange them, how can I go about acquiring a 7.5 on the 88's. I have heard of people doing trades but how do I go about looking for people trading? Should I just suck it up and maybe hope to grab another restock somewhere and sell my current ones?

lol.. Not really a follower son! Honestly I never could afford Jordans back in the days and I didn't have parents that would buy me sneakers this expensive, now being a 30 yr adult and being able to afford a few pairs of jordans without thinking of the cost I wanted to buy some of my favorite Jordans that I could never gotten in the past. Yeah I'm a little late, no big deal... just worst quality jordans now a days though..
