nope. i got some spots that get everything, so i just go and see the kicks before i buy or pass. i have ordered once before and they sent wrong size and scratched pair, so i sent it back. problem with that was the pair i ordered was a limited release much like the majority of my sneakers, so the store was sold out leaving me without a pair.U dont order at all?
I mean u can send things back if u dont like
ok i feel ya now! i forgot to remember not everyone lives around all the types of retailers i do, so i guess you do have to do some ordering from time to time. i just had a bad experience ordering, plus i overslept on a pair before and was bout to order, then i saw em in person and was glad i didn't fall for the photos.I don't live by any HoH and couldn't see them in person. Loved all the pics I seen of them. I still like them but was just a bit thrown off.
i think people buy retro js not just cos they r iconic etc, if its for streetwear, looks comes first and then quality. most of the retros practically looks good wit pretty much anythin u throw on and i think thats the main reason why they r so popular cos they look good. i can fully understand the guys whos had originals(now unwearable) dont wanna buy into the retros cos of the quality+price hike, but u c not every1s (especially the younger guys) had the chance and man if u like the look of somethin u gonna buy it. i know this is a kobe thread but i think its all related
my thoughts exactlyI couldnt agree with u more guy
Every other pair that releases Im tellin my lady "Had those" or "Been there, worn that"
My ship is also sailing if not completely gone from Jays
Exactly. Lebrons and the Kobe line (especially the 4s, 5, 6s and now 8s) just trump JB retros for me.
The only thing that has been able to compete with the 8s from JB is the XX8.
But $140 > $250 all day

would u agree the design of the retros copied from the originals still look good even in 2013 ?That's why I said I'm not knocking anyone who buys retros...
I was lucky enough to watch MJ while at UNC, both Team USAs, the Chicago Bulls and Wizards *trying to wipe the White Sox ordeal from my mind tho).
Retros are a 'Been there, done that' thing to me...but that's cause I'm an older cat. I know some younger dudes feel as tho the retros are new to them.
And a lot of my originals are still wearable, which really kills the need for a retro for me.
didnt say anything about common sense. he said if you like it price dosen't matter.Your analogy is FAIL ! if you pay $500 for a coca cola then that's stupid. You have to use "Common Sense"
If Im gonna stick to size 11 kobe 8s probably Im gonna end up having dead toe nails again LolHave to agree on this one. I'm a size 11 in all Kobe's. No way could I do a 12 in the 8's.

My thoughts EXACTLY. Soon as I saw em that's what I thought...
yeah man i buy into a bit of everythin - js new and retro, foams, new kobe+lebron+kd, hyperdunk 2012 and the odd am90 and am95 here and there lol 2 many nice kicks out there to be stuck loyal to just 1 particular line. i dont often double up on shoes but even then like u i dont get to wear some of my shoesAll Day Long
Youre right
I guess my time is up, cuz I dont see myself really buying anymore Jordans
Dont even wear what I do have, much less buy this new old stuff
Lucky u Curtdiggs
Wish I had it like that
Well, Im good with the SM at FL in my mall, but they dont get jack **** anyway
better then the heros... wouldve liked to have seen a milky translucent sole on emHome elites tonight!
why would u do that to bhms....Been a while since i posted...here is my kobe collection.
The three in middle are customs solids...no rear shozokus (colormatched). I like it better without any logo under the heelcup. Looks more like an old kobe shoe.
why not?!...since nike wont give us solid uppers.
It looks like a milky sole to me... On my phone anyway.better then the heros... wouldve liked to have seen a milky translucent sole on em
looks stadium grey 2 me im on PC... the inner out sole of the right shoe where it looks like its translucent is just the herringboneIt looks like a milky sole to me... On my phone anyway.
wore VIIs today... got home, switched to sulfurs nuff saidSame exact thing I though, except those VII's look better.
I'll wait to reserve my final judgement till I see Hi-Res pictures. I would like to see some Elites that are the same as those "Aways", except in white.
