FOOT LOCKER HOUSE OF HOOPS LOCATIONS

Harlem



268 W 125th St

Manhattan, NY 10027





34th Street

11 W 34th St

Manhattan, NY 10001





North Riverside Park Mall

7501 W Cermak Rd

North Riverside, IL 60546





Beverly Center Mall

8500 Beverly Blvd

Los Angeles, CA 90048





Dadeland Mall

7265 N Kendall Dr

Miami, FL 33156







This is how it was done 

And from reports it sounds like only five Nike Stores in total sold them:

- Nike NYC
- Nike Los Angeles
- Nike Santa Monica
- Nike Miami
- Nike Las Vegas

That's only 10 stores TOTAL in the entire country. About as limited as you can get.

There's a slight sliver of hope. This may not pan out so don't hold me to it but I heard from a HOH employee that they heard Nike Chicago MAY have the Crown Jewel in stock as one of their openers when the store finally re-launches under the new branding and layout later this week. Chi NTers can follow up on that thread. Outside of those doors, looks like that style is likely finished for now. It was never meant for wider rollout. Pure Energy type of thing.

^Brilliant, what can we expect for the Christmas color way?

 

[bucsorange]

Do you think the USA's will be crazy expensive on ebay if I can't cop on Saturday--I want theses bad!

Surely not as crazy as the Fireberry's are--right?

There is no Nikestore in Miami. It closed down a while ago.

Yeah from my people on the inside I'm getting mixed signals...Some say No...Some say Yes....Only time will tell..

FROM THE "BLURRY" PIC, YOU CAN ALREADY SEE THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME SHAPE AS THE 9 LOWS. THAT'S ALREADY ENOUGH FOR ME TO THROW THEM IN A HEFTY BAG.

WERD!!!

man HAIL yea... I won't be surprised if I see these going for 1k on the 'bay


I mean even to make a profit you have to charge AT LEAST 6 bills. And you know most retailers don't wanna "just" make their money back, they wanna break d***ks Plus take into consideration a looooooooot of people ONLY want these Xs. This is THE shoe to have for this particular line thus far. Everybody coming out the woodworks.


I'm kinda glad my size isn't available, at least I'm out the game early and know there is no shot for me.

i just cant understand the hype on lebrons. i mean c'mon man its plastic, 300$ for plastic and then complain about JB prices, at least you get some form of suede, leather, not just 100% plastic, plus they look so Generic nothing like the first series of lebrons those were tight, but these, not worth the loot.and im tryin to give em a chance. 

 

[andfattoo]

so you know they arent dropping GS sizes?

 

[thapointguy]

I will try to get the Olympic X this Saturday so i can try them on and return them , might as well, free returns

I agree with what you're saying but it's 'Ashy Larry' suede, pleather or vinyl/leatherette. The consumer has to pick their poison regardless of Nike/JB branding.

These joints are commanding $300+ price points because of hype, marketing and limited availibility not materials and/or craftmanship.

[twnty8]

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT $1000 BUT THEY WILL SURE PUSH $400+, AS THAT IS PROBABLY THE BARE MINIMUM THAT WOULD YEILD A PROFIT WORTH PURSUING. THEY ARE THE ONLY 10 I WANT SO FAR, AND ALSO THE ONLY ONE I'VE HEARD PEOPLE I RUN WITH OR OTHER SNEAKERHEADS TALK ABOUT FROM THE LINE SO FAR. MOST I KNOW ARE GUNNING FOR THESE OR THE KD'S THIS WEEKEND.

 

[mrdozo]

price tag. yuck.
round laces yuck.
limited availability...yuck

 

[sdotc38109]

[fresh money]

WHY NOT TRY FOR RETAIL FIRST AND IF YOU FAIL PURCHASE AT CRAZY PRICE AFTER.

Thanks for the pic of the Blue Diamonds even if they are GS. They are looking good.

 

[de janeiro]

those pink lebrons should have been a gs or girl release only they look terrible..its same to assume that the same guys that copped these would cop the pink foams, these look more girlier though. nike failed on this one the olys are the best pair so far.

LOL WUT THESE ARE IN NO WAY GIRLIER THAN THOSE PINK FOAMS.

um no, youre comparing a retro to new tech, lets compare apples to apples guys

the jordan 2012 (even though its older than the lebron X) compared to the lebron X is a better comparison

if you want to compare retros, compare the white/black XIIs to the diamond turfs or one of the million retroes nike is pumpin back out
