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

[dj proto j]

i still can't believe i got those 2 pairs for $10 UNDER retail, each, no shipping, and no tax, from crooked tongues...

and i got 'em quick as hell. quicker than ndc orders and crooked tongues is over seas...

after all the madness with this release, i feel really fortunate.

My friend said snipes took the money out of his account but it seems like that doesn't mean much because they've been canceling orders, giving refunds, and then saying your order has shipped lol! He really wants them and I hope he good

Did you pre-order from CT? I'm still waiting for my pair. You're in NC too correct?

I would do it banned 1s are soft like butter. Concords will just turn yellow in a couple of years that my opinion.

got through, they're not doing phone orders.

 

[mytoasterspeak]

Anything in Cleveland

 

[g2p0]

Called Niketown Boston and they aren't doing phone orders...

 

[celticsfan9783]

So what is the verdict on the fit? Do they fit like the Space Jams, Cool Greys, or differently?

 

[rocket]

My pairs from NDC are out for delivery in Tempe, AZ this morning?

 

[dj proto j]

i'll admit, i'm not a big fan of how 11's look when they yellow at all...

what are some tips on preventing it?

i heard of people taking DS pairs and dyeing them over and over with blue rit dye (you can either just keep it the same color or dye it darker, or whatever) and it apparently slows down the yellowing process...

also, has anyone had any success with sole savers with these?

i have no plans to wear them in the rain or walk in puddles, but i work in clubs and the floors are wet often. heard that definitely makes them yellow faster.

Man, I preordered ONE pair from CT, & I live in NC, & mine haven't shown up yet 

. Granted, I chose the sneakersaver option, but I saw you said you didn't pay for shipping so I'm assuming you went with the sneakersaver option too. At least I finally got shipping confirmation from EC. Those will be here wednesday 

 

[prodigalson11]

Just an FYI - I had a pair from EC that was supposed to be here Jan 4 according to the FedEx tracking, but it's already in the US and on truck for delivery today. Some of you with delivery dates of 1/4 from EC might wanna check your Tracker.

fit like cool greys...

i'm about to be on the hunt for DS '09 space jams, so what's the deal with them? should i go up .5 or a full size compared to cool greys?

 

[chicagos finest 23]

First thing remove paper, paper makes them yellow

Monta Ellis dropped And 1 ME8 and went with 8.0 and Concords...must be the shoes since they beat the Knicks! Dominque McGuire played some tough D on Melo.

ellis

those melo M6 are the ugliest thing ive ever seen

haven't tried them on concords yet....Sole savers work.  I wear them with my space jams. You just need to make them longer cause of the arch when drawing them out.  
Sidenote,  Becareful when wearing the sole saver on certain surfaces....I almost busted my tush twice....

Anybody hear of any Pittsburgh area restocks?

I got the space jams & the cool greys in a sz 10. The space jams are a little tighter around my pinky toe
