I ordered AJ Is, IIIs, VIs, XIs, and countless other shoes that way. I remember ordering true blues and black cements 4 months before they released. Did the same with the Concords. Now THAT was a good time
YUP!!! Do yall remember the Concords hitting the outlets in the tens of thousands on the first retro? Maaaan, that was the good o'll days lol Can't remember if it was $69.99 or $79.99.
when the 00s dropped. i went to the mall at 12pm lol.asked for my size 11 at Doumits,what yall youngbucks and hypebeasts know about that in the bay area. guy said oh that guy over there has the last size 11, and points at dood.
dood is over there TRYING THEM ON, seeing if he likes em. he was with his girl.
so im hovering em and shadowing em. like white on rice while he is trying them on. he ASKS HIS GIRL, "you think i should get em?" his lady goes "its up to you" guy pauses, which seemed like the longest pause.. cause i already had the OGs but they were beat to hell. then he goes "ill just get em NEXT TIME"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! swooooooooped
paid cash money $125 IIRC + tax lol
i wonder where that guy is now, telling this same story when these concords just came out saying damn, shouldve bought those first retros..
cue cool story bro pic please
