Everything comes back full circle eventually.....
Did 2000 Infareds sell out in 10 minutes? Did 2000 Concords sell out in 10 minutes? Hell, did 2000 Spacejams sell out in 10 minutes?
The answer is hell no to all 3. I strolled into Athlete's Foot on release day & copped all 3 with no problem. Back then shoe buying made sense.....no shoe sold out of all stores immediately. I copped my 96' Concords 3 days after the release date!!! Matter fact only the Black /Cement 4s sold out in about a day in most spots cause that was the first shoe in this recent retro boom. A hot shoe took about a week or so to sell out completely...& I'm talking about a "hot shoe". There were no camping out or line ups for Fire Red 5s, True Blue 3s, Cement 4s in either colorways when they retroed years back. If you wanted the shoe, you woke your !## up & copped with ease. And some you could do days later. Why was that?
Cause only mofos that wanted the shoes were copping!!! Wasn't no internet persuading necessary. Wasn't no " I don't like the shoe but I wanna be cool, so I'll buy it anyways" happening. Nobody was buying multiple pairs of everything like they got more than 2 feet!!! You got your one pair & kept it moving. And lastly, poundscums known today as resellers didn't exist!!! Remember Laney 5s went on sale when they dropped, the same shoe some of ya'll would line up for if they re-released next week. But to clearance it went because nothing sold out immediately when things made sense. Matter fact....The first I EVER heard of lining up for a Jay was the DMP pack which would explain why I don't own those. I was like, "Who the #%&@ camps out for shoes?! " & went back to sleep.
So now ya'll complain when a Jordan doesn't sell out in 5 minutes due to un-necessary hype & reselling. Insane!!!
Btw...thou it's not infared, these black/red 6s are on point. And I prefer the material compared to the recent nubuck offerings that JB have been putting out. Maybe I can actually wear these without the toebox creasing like a muva' after 2 wears. For example...check Black/Metallic 5s or CDP 4s. But ya'll on this board crying for that paper thin nubuck?!
Please.......
Well said..I feel this is more of a "sneakerheads" release. Only true sneakerheads were out this morning to get these, not everybody and their momma trying to look cute and put them on right then to "stunt " on people. Everybody I was in line with appreciate a good shoe when they see one. Not one was arguing semantics about the shade of red or materials. These are mos def one of the better quality retros in the past years.
that was your opinion yes, but do me a favor until you find something more sensible to come out your mouth log off and come back when you do.
Those are def the good old days. Anybody who missed out on actually seeing these moment as they transpired really can't fully understand why some of these kicks mean so much. As soon as you see the shoe, it automatically takes you back to a certain MJ moment. Nicely put!Originally Posted by McCree23
Man I been on Niketalk since it started. I barely even post anywhere on the site. I probably registered a few years later. But reading you guys posts really got me. I got to reply to this. Back then Watching MJ on TV was REALLY the good old days. Its a certain feeling you get seeing the man step out on the floor with those shoes on man. or when Ahmad Rashad held the Concords in his hand, or when MJ wore the 1's at MSG, when he was laying on the floor crying after the 4th championship. The black/red XII's during the flu game and the Bulls down by 16 in the second quarter. Sitting there biting your nails. Coming back on March 18th against the Knicks with 45 on and the Chicago X's. I can go on and on about these moments I seen live. But the point is these moment accentuated the experience of buying these shoes.....hence why we still buy Air Jordan's today. For the truest and sincerest reasons. The MAN (MJ) himself. Shout out to HAGS and 23SOLE. You guys are on point. Keep trying to school these youngins.

I had the originals in 7th grade too! I still have mine actually. They are quite torn up though.
