Official Air Jordan XI Concord Release thread 12/23/11 NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!

Hopefully all the posts about FNL (Finishline) are from newbies who haven't experienced this before...

Because this is NOTHING NEW from them.

Nothing has changed. 

BTW, "picked" means that your order is accounted for and should be getting prepped to ship out.

exactly my thought.. straight disappointment to see glue on the sides and bumpy Patent leather.. For shoe that used to be $125 there are no excuses for bad quality at the $180 price tag

don't feel bad same thing happened to me. I was just a little more stubborn and did it about 1000x until i about 12:15 and I finally came to nt hit the link and got stuck in the nike.com error matrix then it was mad dash 2 the mall which equaled a whopper of a fail smh
 
I was getting anxious because the twitter link wasn't posted right when 9pm hit. So I started searching NDC. It was about 9:01 once it was posted. I didn't want to leave the twitter page and start searching and miss the link by a few seconds. Haha.
 
I don't mind how H-S does releases like this; they don't even fool around with a cheaper option, they know we want the shoes so they just charge the £19.95 for shipping and they get here quickly.

"Picked" means your order has been processed and packaged ready to be shipped out.  The rep told me that over the phone and when I asked her about the tracking number, she says "Oh we will send that to you via email".  I said to her that I would like the tracking number be given to me over the phone.  She insisted that the tracking number was going to be send me to over email, again I told her I would like the tracking number over the phone.  After a couple of minutes (I can hear her typing), she gave me the tracking number.  Unfortunately, UPS is closed today, so once they resume business and pick up the shoes from FNL, then tracking status and delivery date will be updated.

Hope this helped!

  
 
What are the chances that an order gets canceled from Eastbay? I actually got through on the phone to a rep, but I still haven't received a shipping notice yet.

I saw a pair with 3 holes in the patent. Looked like Dracula got a hold of them.
 
i wish they would do another XI of the quality the anniversary XIs were. the quality on those were amazing. but i gota say, the concords are better quality than i thought they would be, since im sure they cranked them out as fast as they could.

Your order will be shipped tomorrow on Dec 28th and will take 5 to 6 business days to get there. Thats what they told me on Christmas Eve.

True story... the only way to accomodate this is to split your servers up and then partition them off in sections to handle the amount of traffic.  Thats not something Nikes going to invest in for ONE release or even several during the year. It aint cheap.
I think all the retailers should do what I think FNL said they did.. hire temps to come in and do phone orders only...
 
Had a girl place an order on eastbay while I was camping but it just got cancelled. Or so she says..
I had a feeling it would get cancelled.. Thats the main reason I placed the order on Snipes.
Please believe I'm making her show me the cancellation email tho.

My pairs look like this in terms of the carbon fiber

Annoyed me quite a bit as it doesnt look like carbon fiber
I tried using a high grit sandpaper but that didn't really even scratch the finish
So I decided to refinish it with a layer of automotive clear coat

Before:

After:

I'll resand and polish to remove the orange peel on the carbon after it's done drying
Hopefully it'll do the carbon better justice

EDIT:
This pair was bought from Champs
