get black dye (from walmart or something)
mix hot water with the dye.
soak the laces.
done.

btw, i havent tried it myself, if you cant find black laces then you can try that.


OR just buy black laces.. 10 hole... 3 bucks later.. done..

there was a few posts and threads days ago, people wanted to get JB or nike laces and not $3 cheap laces. some people dont want cheap laces onthey're breds. so if you want JB laces, use the method i posted. its an alternative.
 
Dayng I had to work today /Footlocker/footacion DiD NOT GET EM...[BTW im in Austin] NO place here / OR SanAntonio got em only mom & pop stores...]
I called in HOH in Chicago They had em iwas pissed......

No Footlocker/Footaction/Champs got them. They don't even have them on there official website. Most Footlocker/Footaction/Champs arent urban accounts. Mostplaces like Sports Zone, HUF, DTLR, ect.... got them. (Got mines at Sports Zone) : piff

Worst. Release. For. Me. Ever.
smh.gif


I got mines from Active Athletes off Federal in Houston. Got there with my friend a midnight, first two in line.
laugh.gif


Chilled in the slab for an hour, but some crazy stuff started happening so we went to a Motel and fell asleep until like 5AM. NH.
laugh.gif
We weren't from thatside of town, and didn't know what goes down, so we decided just to chill out at a Motel and catch a couple hours of sleep.

We were the first two in line, yeah that was me in the SB Cement Hoody. Mad people were getting mad as I walked out cause some tall dude skipped me and walkedin to get his pair even though he was like in the middle of the line, but when he left he gave me $10 bucks.
laugh.gif


Then some random hispanic dude comes up to me saying he'll pay for my pair if I let him skip, I was about to let him, but everyone behind me was gettingmad and pushed him to the side basically.
laugh.gif


I heard alot of people yappin' and stuff while I was inside buying and when I was going back to the slab. The worker had to bring the shoes for me to myslab.
laugh.gif


smh.gif
I'm never going back to that side of town again, it's hectic and too damn far. SMH!

Oh well, I'm glad I got my 9.5 pair.
eek.gif
 
I went out to Portland,OR Lloyd center and not one store got any colorway! Footaction,footlocker,finishline,champs!

They told me house of hoops was like the only known urban account in NYC to get them and they were sold out except 11.5 up at 9 am! Tried like Dr. Jays, Michael K, Transit etc etc and nothing. Kind of depressing lol... what is your guys opinion on copping these for like 175 !%+
Damn dude... I bet you feel kinda silly now that you didn't order off NDC... like EVERYONE was saying you should do.
 
What a crazy release. I usually get my Jordans with no problem, no matter what release it is. I have plenty of connects to get them and for some reason, thesewere the hardest pair to get. Like i literally called spots up everyday for the past week about these. I almost gave up till a friend of a friend told me abouthis spot. He said they had just gotten them in and this is a smalll mom and pops store. a lot of people arent on to that store so I don't know how theyeven got these. Come to find out, one of my home girls that I work with lives right across the street from the store and I had her pick them up for me. Theyare closed tommorrow and opening up late like at 11 on monday. gonna cop another pair. worth the wait but the quality on them is trash. either or, i'llstill rock them. I was gonna keep the red laces in them till I seen them in person and decided to throw the black laces in. The Charity 1's was way tooeasy for me to pick up but this release?? jeeezzz. Im live in New Jersey by the way, next to Newark so we got a lot of urban account stores over here but thisrelease was crazy!!!...good luck to those still trying to pick up

i have a feeling JB is gonna pull this release crap for the rest of the RETROS in 2009 and are testing the waters to see the reaction and out come of thisrelease......
 
Damn, im hearing everyone saying this was a crazy release :0

I woke up at 9:00 AM sharp :tongue:iff

Then my moms car wouldnt turn on, the key wouldn't turn in the ignition. -.-

Then i started kicking the ignition and slamming the keys on the floor
smile.gif


An hour later, it worked and I went to Sports Zone and got my Sz 8.5
smile.gif
smile.gif


There were like no people there getting the Air Jordan I Black/Red except me and some other cool dude.

Overall, GREAT RELEASE
smile.gif
 
Waited until 330 last night and couldn't take it anymore. Woke up today and this thread had gone up 10 pages in 4 hours. Hopefully can find a 12/13 at adecent price. Congrats to everyone that got em.
 
Copped the breds lat night on NDC and then went to sleep. One thing that's been bothering me though is where is the white/blk/red 1 strap's at on NDC?I brought them from UTA, but curious to know why they aren't on NDC.

Woooooooo woooo HUF had em? That's just shady I called them on friday and they said they were only receiveing black n white ones and the white ones. Dang Ishould have just gone then!
 
i didnt get my pair.
i went to self conscious and they didnt get them (when i called them the day before they told me that they got them)
then i went to saint alfred and their smallest size was a 12, however i was the 3rd person into the store b/c they were letting people in 2 at atime
eyes.gif

i went down from michigan to chicago to buy them but i couldnt get my hands on them
smh.gif

anyone got an extra pair 10-11
nerd.gif
 
I initially went out to purchase the black/red pair, but after seeing the black canvas in person I decided to buy them as well. Also stumbled upon the royalblue phat lows at a local Shiekhs.
