Regarding your post about how each store should get 80-100 pairs, RIDICULOUS. This goes back to the hype Nike WANTS to garner for these 12/23 releases. If they make these pairs more readily available and easier to obtain, sure it might make more money for Nike on THIS release, but Nike isn't Puma. Meaning they don't need the money. They are looking at the big picture. Hype right now = people talking about Nike = people buying Nike products = more $$$ for Nike down the road. C'mon man, wise up.
That's what hypebeast's have been lead to beleive cough cough**. I see i touched weak spot. Believe what you want, nike did a horrible job with this release.


Please let me know EXACTLY what "hypebeasts" are led to believe. I'm talking straight business. Disregard the shoes. For ANY product, hype = $$$. Yikes, man. Read the Walstreet Journal much? Probably not, but let me inform you that they wrote an article about how smart Nike brand is for pulling stuff off like this. You're kidding yourself if you think they handled this wrong. They handled it completely right. I'm absolutely positive you don't know a damn thing about business after your flurry of pedantic posts. Boom.
That Nike inc has zero flaws in their decision making. And what i'm saying, and what you delibertly fail to ackowledge is that certain shoes( i.e, concords) don't need the hype that jb is trying to instill on it's ( and future) consumers. Lol @ read the wall street journal reference; if you're going quote an article post your reference. I don't need a random columnist from the "wall street journal" feeding me bogus articles to help me sort out my finances. Like i said, beleive what you want, nike handled this poorly.
Btw, your weak attacks have proven that you've sunken beneath contempt and have resorted to name calling as an attempt make your argument a little more sound. What's next? typos?
Take a seat.

I don't remember there ever being a line when new Jordans came out, especially the first colorway of each model since they just seemed to show up in shops in the early fall. The All Star colors would sometimes get a line since they dropped at the same time every year, but even then because it was a General Release and restocks were just a phone call away it never seemed like shops would be sold out. I know it was really easy to pick up the previous release after the new ones came out, but you'd get laughed at in school for wearing the old model thinking you were it. They didn't figure out how to really work older shoes into big sellers until the late 90s and even then some models didn't sell out that quickly.

Granted this is my memories and I live in New Orleans where we're REALLY late on getting on board with anything, Reebok Classics and Fila high tops were what everyone wore when I was in high school and these originally came out.

mine look pretty good too. Patent leather cuts between left and right shoe are off, but that seems to be the case with all my pairs.
 
Snipes customers who are told they're getting refunds:

so did you not read any articles or see the videos posted in the past few days?
 
I see same sellers reposting same shoes for 400$ on cl. Meaning it's not really moving at that price. Today I saw that they
Are averaging about 325 to 350. Which is still high. Once it drops to 300. I'll start calling

Name calling aside, I agree with you. This was a great release for Nike. I don't see how anyone who knows anything about business would say otherwise.

You had people talking about Jordan's who would not ordinarily, who looked them up to see what the big deal was. I had family members asking me to explain it to them. Every news cast had news of the new Jordan release, which is better than any commercial.

It's going to make demand increase next year. Think about all the kids in schools envious of the other kids with the "hard to get" Jordan's going for $400 on ebay.

At the end of the day our opinions just differ. You see blue, i see it yellow. I agree that Jb wanted the hype, not sure for this particular release they needed it. Jb got a lot publicity over this release -- none of it was good. Weather it helps them or not  can be a matter of subjectivity.

I think the average going price is right around 350 for good sizes; it could drop to around 300 as you've alluded to, but I really think 325 would be the lowest average price.  I doubt the average will ever drop below 300 for the concords.  Anything below 300 would be a steal in my opinion.
 
After emailing Offspring a week ago I just got this email from them and have no idea what to think now.

"Thank you for your email.
On checking your account, I can see that your order from the 23/12/11 has been placed.
You will receive a despatch email once despatched and will be able to track your parcel.
If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us."

The pending charges were taken off of my CC so I have no idea what to think now.

Hope this happens to me on that size 7 I'm waiting on.

Actually this just happened. Got the shipping confirmation and tracking for the size 13 but the 7 is still processing. UPS dropped off both pair today. Now just waiting for one more size 7 so I can surprise my sister at her graduation.
