I saw a Chicago Fire Department Paramedic there for the release and this guy got up early to wait inline (in uniform I might add) and I was going to be so mad if he was unable to get his pair/size. Thankfully it was an easy release and he was able to do so. Don't ask me why but I just felt like for all they do, this guy deserved to get them. He didn't seem like your typical shoehead, just a regular guywho really wanted the new pair of Jordans coming out.
There was a lot of cool people in line this morning...albeit unnecessary.

Easy cop. but I had that thought that I wasn't going to be able to get them.
Woke up at 6:30, got to the mall at 7:45.
Only one dude in line and he told me they pre-sold them to him already. and i'm like "finishline pre-sells these?"
So we both talked good while about why we buy J's, how many we have, and future and past releases.
I was 2nd and cop the last 9.5. and I was going to buy two pairs. but like i said earlier they pre-sold them. but I'll wailt till next month to buy anotherpair. . . maybe.
i give these shoe an A- grade. why? cuz the ones that I got were a little messy. little scuffs and glue spots. Someone wrote a # 7 under the sole with a greymarker. (i'm trying to erase it rite now).
but yeah this shoe catches your eye.
yea i agree w/ Shuges that the XX's are better looking. i took out my XX's and compare them and if I had to choose one pair I would probably pick theXX's. IDK thats just me.
Oh yea, whats up w/ these pre-sale?? I don't think thats right.

Went to almeda mall here in houston about 30 minutes ago and got them with no problems. I went to finishline first, and looked at two pairs, each one havescratched and glue marks. So I didnt buy. Then went to footlocker, and had to go through three size 9.5's to find the pair with no marks or excessiveglue stains. You figure for 185.00, you would get a perfect looking shoe.

Thanks...yeah my camera is just a crappy PnS (Point n Shoot) nothing fancy at all! Remember...its not the camera that takes good pics its your eyes!hahaha!
and I just have to rant on FINISHLINE preselling..I dont think it is fair. The do it at all their stores, pre sell their whole inventory so you can wake upearly go to your mall and wait there for nothing. Pretty sad. I dont like that practice...champs or footaction for me...or online.

I figured I might as well post mine too...
The sweet bags NikeTown busted out for the release:
The ones far left are the ones I have been wearing since Wednesday, middle pair will belong to a one "Flint Grey"

I am right there with you. If it werent for my tax refund getting back to me with a quickness (you cant beat that online refund!) i wouldnt have been copping either. My priorities looks the same as yours pretty much.
SO WAIT A SECOND HERE...you are NOT allowed to cancel an order on nike.com after it is placed? What kind of crap is that? Now i have to wait for them to deliver them and then return them. SOOOOOO WACK.
LOL- not to mention I owe taxes on top of it all...but we'll see if I can circumvent that. These are a necessity for me, as I will most likely retirefrom Jordans after this.

Woke up at about 8 went to my spot (Champs) and had no problem gettin them. They had quite a few pair and were down to a small number though. On the way out ofthe mall I saw a good number of people walking that way. I love these and can't stop looking at them. Time to grab the All-Stars I slept on.

not as easy a cop as the all stars here in LA. nobody had anything bigger than 12. would have preferred a 12.5 but went with a 13. I was able to have it put onhold at shieks at the crenshaw plaza thanks to dude at the beverly center shieks callin them up for me. all in all I'm happy. didn't wanna cop onlineand not be able to rock this weekend. I'm bout to hit the court in these bad boys in a couple hours.

Sucks that I didn't get it off of Swoosh but oh well...I don't go off of if I can get the sneakers on a discount or not...these shoes were gettingcopped no matter what. After all the negative reaction on here in the beginning, I'm glad people finally got around to seeing how dope the 23's are. JBdefinitely didn't disappoint for the last Jordan release and I'm feeling like a little kid getting a brand new toy right about now.

The card in my pictures is something NT Chicago had sitting out on their display describing all the features of the shoe.
The shoe raffled off was the same shoe everyone else was getting.
