QFT.

THESE ARE SUFFERING THE SAME FATE AS BLACK VARSITY RED 6'S AND WHITE CEMENT 3'S RELEASING AFTER THE 11'S. REALLY EASY COP. THE WHITE CEMENT 4'S MAY MOVE A LITTLE QUICKER BECAUSE THEY ARE A LITTLE MORE DESIRED AND TAX TIME BUT THEY TOO WILL BE AN EASY COP. GR JORDANS (BESIDES 11'S)  HAVE PRETTY MUCH BECOME EASY COPS IF YOU JUST SHOW UP WHEN THE MALL OPENS.

RE-SELLING GR JORDANS BESIDES THE 11'S = FAIL. SEEMS INTEREST IS STARTING TO DROP OFF ESPECIALLY WITH WHAT KOBE AND LEBRON ARE PUTTING OUT.

UNLESS YOU MOVING HOUSE OF HOOPS QUANTITIES, IT'S NOT EVEN WORTH MY TIME.

WITH THAT SAID, CAN'T WAIT TO GRAB MY PAIR LATER ON TODAY AFTER WORK.

Has anybody gotten through to the employee store?

I must say that these are pain in the a** to get on at first, I have a wide foot and a size 13. I feel like the fronts are very long looking and creasing will be heavy short term on these. I don't think the smaller feet peeps will have this much of an issue.

 

[drose22]

Got my pair on discount, they crease bad but can't pass on these especially if your from CHI.

 

[melofan15]

gonna pass on these to get the iv's. hopefully I can find them later for a decent price

Lol I keep getting excited when it rings but nobody is picking up. I wanna stop but I need these in my life for the low.

 

[freezyfreeky]

still contemplating whether to go a half size up because of the narrow lacing and elastic.
hopefully i can try on a pair before placing my ndc order.

Yes yes and yes, all that has to be done is show up before the store opens and youll be ok. Last year when w/c 3's and playoff 13's drop all I had to do was show up 20 min before they opened and copped my size, and they did sell out later that day. So I ain't even tripping

So are they supposed to come with the hang tag or not?

This.
And for the WCIII's last year (which are my Grails)...like a damb fool I went out the night before with all the fellas and got way too loose...

Was so damb sick the next day I couldn't even make it outta bed...I remember calling all the stores asking if they still had my size available at least 5 times throughout the day...tried to make it to the mall before they closed and it just wasn't gonna happen...I was in no condition to drive...

Luckily I went in the next day and and copped the last size 11 they had at FNL...my dude that usually reserves kicks for me or holds me down early was laughing at me cuz I was adamant about taking it back to the old days and wanting to walk into the store and buy the shoes myself in person and get to pick out the best pair I could find...

::Cool Starry Bra::

you'd rather blow 90 bones than wait 5 measly days?

ball on, baller.

$220 for a $160 retail is plain dumb. Mom & Pop shops near me asking $225 to buy early....smfh. These aren't xi...damn hype beast f'n JB.

lol. i should probably explain. i'm definitely not sweating it as i think it will be an easy cop despite what others on the board say. my daughter is supposed to be due on Saturday and pretty sure the missus wouldnt be happy with me taking a time out while she's in labor to cop a pair lol. would rather just get the cop out of the way and focus on meeting my bundle of joy.

lol. hypebeast? assuming you were making a general statement. certainly not a hypebeast my good man. been doing this far too long for that. just other factors at play and, frankly, willing to pay a bit extra for the convenience (see my previous post). criticizing how one chooses to spend their own money (without knowing their financial situation to begin with) is "plain dumb".
