My guess is that everyone will be going in with this mentality and the phone lines will already be busy by then. I wonder what type of BS the operators will sit thru knowing very well that EVERYONE calling in around this time will only have one thing on their mind...the Concords.Originally Posted by JWiZz3123
would it be a good idea to call in to eastbay 5-10 minutes before the set release time? or no? thinking about small-talking customer service
Don't assume the 00's will be unwearable in a few years. I still have my OG BREDS, Columbia's and BRED low ie and still wear them. No sole seperation or cracking patent leather and those are much older than the 00's retro's. Its how your take care of your shoes that determine the longevity.

Appreciate it broOriginally Posted by scoop99
Oops, I forgot to mention, the Nike Store on the 2nd floor. Although the wristbands are giving out, I know that footlocker is selling them on Friday 6:00 am I believe. Maybe you can give them a call to confirm. Also, I expect Champs, footaction and finishline to have them as well. I just do not know what time they are selling them or how many pairs that each store is holding.Originally Posted by mrhood84
What store was this giving out wristbands in Roosevelt Field? I was thinking about heading out there.Originally Posted by scoop99
THIS.
I went to my mom & pop store last week and asked how much they are selling them for, they told me $300 because the other stores around $400. I said no thanks, but I will probably buy my 1 year old son's pair from them because they are selling those for retail. Anyways, I got my pair locked up by getting my wristband at Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island, NY on 6:00 am this past Sunday without really camping guaranteeing me my size. I arrived at 4:30 am and paid some dude $30 for his ticket which he was selling. After that, I went back to my car and stayed till 5:45 am because it was cold outside. If I did not get his ticket, then I will not get a pair for retail at least. This will be my first and last time, I will ever line up for a wristband because the people who were right behind me were at the mall since 12:00 midnight. If you want to talk about going to Eastbay or Nike sites at midnight, I FAIL.
I will cliff-note your statement - 'Life Goes On'

I do agree with you that the 2010 Cool Greys rarely sold for $300 and the reason for that the the Cool Greys are no where near the class of the Concords. Also, the price of the 2009 Space Jams and 2008 Black/Red 11 CDP prices are currently selling over $300 easily. I think that the price will dip below $300 at first, but then gradually increase. By the end of next year, it will probably hit nearly $400
I agree with castro.
No way these will be $400 in a year. I can see $400+ over the next week or two while people are still beasting but as time passes and people see how many of these things were actually produced, I think prices will be closer to the SJ range.
According to Gentry the XI has been JBs only shoe to sell out 100% on RD every time since the CDP. People would have to be fools to think that these 2011 Concords are "limited" in any way shape or form.
By late January as soon peoples Credit Card bills start coming in you will see lots of pairs selling for the $240-$270 range. Exact same thing happened to the CDP, SJ, and CG.
I mean really... If these are going to be worth $400 next december, does that mean my 2000s would be valued at $700 ? How about my OGs will be those be worth $1,600 ? ... I highly doubt it.
Your statement regarding the value of the 2000's or the OG's will dramatically appreciate, then you are absolutely incorrect. I mean really. Compare the value of the 2000 Space Jams to the 2009 pair, almost the same. Now, compare the value of the 2001 Air Jordan 11 Black/Red to the CDP, and the 2001 pair is higher but not significantly and if you compare it to the OG's, it is not significantly higher. Now compare the 2001 Cool Greys to 2010 release, the gap in price is still not significant. Yeah, they will TRY to sell for $400 immediately, but they will not move fast at all (at least not immediately) especially many stores ans websites are selling for $300. I believe when release day hits and people fail to get their pairs for retail or close to it, will pay the $300 price. But if you think it will sell for $400, then I do not see it yet. Especially when you can get the 2000's DS for $300-$400. If that is the case, I might as well chase down a third pair of 2000 Air Jordan Concords.
The space jams are also a very popular 11 and it took them a long time before they reached $400 and that is a holy grail for many.
I was just making a joke about my OGs and 2000s.
I think you may want to re-read my post though, because I completely agree with most of what you said.
I'm a female too and if you can rock foams which are the epitome of bulky then you should have no prob rocking the xi's. Xi's are one of the few shoes that look right with all ankle and calf sizes...well, except the anniversary's.
Right now it is the calm before the storm at QCM. If you plan on camping tomorrow until midnight then it's best you get there in the early afternoon because anytime past 2 or 3 pm it's going to look like a zoo. For the past 2 years with the Space Jams and Cool Greys the 3rd Floor of that mall is damn near shutdown with the amount of people waiting in line for kicks. Anyone that knows the QCM layout on the 3rd Floor knows that the line wraps around the whole floor like 3 times over. Last year I was fortunate to have my girlfriend now fiance wait in line from like 2:30 and save me a spot when I got off work so I could double up on my Cool Greys and then we headed downstairs on the first floor to get her size from kids foot locker. Had to wife that girl after that dedication!

Legit?
See that's what im having a hard time understanding. I dont get how the value of a recent retro can exceed or even come close the value of a crisp og or 2000. This has never and i mean never happend to an og or old school retro. How is that these concords can exceed the value of their respective senior counterparts? like really, $350 for a 2011 concord. Like just think about that for a second.
yea its unfortunate. but if you look at the space jams, 09 and 00, they are just about the same in resell value. with 00 slightly more. Been seeing 09 space jams well over 300-350 while the 2000s are around 350-400. And 2000s quality is superior to the 2009. 2009s are pretty trashy to me.
The fact that Concords sell "better" than other retros or signature shoes of Mike's does not make them the "Holiest of Grails".Originally Posted by GottaBdaShoes

Thank you captain obvious. Let me elaborate for those that chose to take things out of context. MY favorite shoe are the Infrared VI's and the Playoff/ASG XIII's. No matter what you want to believe or say, these concords ARE the holy grail of holy grails. I understand there are opinions but no other shoe is more iconic and best selling than the concords. I don't care if its the Infrared VI's, the Space Jams or a super limited edition retro. People have their favorite retro Jordans but, when it comes to the concords, they'll shell out $300+ before release date and even more once they sell out. It's a highly valuable shoe. Again, it's safe to say this is the holy grail of all holy grails.
