Wasn't retail like $175 or something?

 

[pumplance]

Yea in the states with tax these was just under $200 so $170 would have been ahead of the game for us in the U.S. You could get a pair for $100 and Jameswould say you paid too much, just cause he's a negative Ozzy like that. Hell, he's been diss'n this sneaker the whole time and he still probablygot a pair. Retail in parts of europe was $110 so that shows you how lame Reedpsace and Barney's are. HYPE kills wallets.

 

[jamesyo]

haha, mate i didn't even come close to buying a pair

i have more pressing things to spend my money on.

it's Aussie btw i have very positive opinions on things that warrant them, but i don't have to approve of everything and anything i come across

 

[optimusp517]

Well just placed an order today over the phone with Reedspace, they're obviously not sold out and taking phone orders Only thing I was pissed about wasit took I called in and they picked up 5 min before store opened and told me to call back to order the kicks in 5 min. Called back in 5 min and couldn'tget a hold of anyone at all. 2 hours later someone finally picked up! JEEZE.

 

[t21d]

One of homies called in and ordered my pair. They answered and had no problem poking my eyes out with a $200.35 credit card bill.

 

[pumplance]

^wow seriously? that place is a joke with saying no phone orders in the begining and charging $175 when Euro shops charged $110-$125
