The Official Air Jordan 1 Retro Blk/Red "BANNED" Sept 3 2016

Not open for further replies.
Got a bit of a strange story to tell. Scroll past now if you don't want a long read. No harm.

So I get home from work & there's a box on the porch with my name. Normally I would be excited because whatever I ordered has arrived (I'm inpatient). This particular box just had my name on it & no shipping label. My banned 1's from NDC came the day before & I didn't order anything else recently so I tossed the box aside to start to unwind from the work week. I changed, opened a Deschutes fresh squeezed IPA and proceeded to see what the hell this could possible be. I cut the box open and it's a Nike Jordan 1 box. I crack the lid open and its banned 1's. I run to the closet & my pair from NDC is still there. I go back downstairs and take the shoes out the box and try to find a receipt or note of some sort. Nothing. I text all the people who tried to help me obtain the shoes so I can reimburse and thank them. Every single person denies any knowledge or involvement. I compared them to my other pair & they seem to be legit. Sorry for the story. Here are the pics. Input on LC would be appreciated. Bless the Jordan Fairy whoever you are.

Why go through all that hassle to do that? Hell why buy early pairs or fakes if you work at a sneaker store and you get first dibs lol?

Some store employees tell me they need to enter the raffles also, they just lying?

this and greed. Say they buy multiple fakes for cheap , then switch with the real ones in store, then proceed to flip the legit ones or switch them for their friends. idk could be different reasons i was just wondering if anyone else thought about it.

I guess it's possible.., but IMO it's too risky. How you gonna get in/out of the store with the fake/legit pairs without being noticed? And there's no way you'll be able to put those fakes in the box and make it look DS if you're in a rush trying not to get caught by another employee.

Wow I really just stumbled across this on Twitter and I'm baffled [emoji]128528[/emoji]?.....folks getting mad because I blessed someone with some money and made their day last Saturday.

My first retail pair of Bred 1s I ONLY PAID RETAIL
and the remaining 8 have been in the 285-315 mark

I'm the type of NTer that if you was struggling and needed a little funds to make it to the next week (and If I have extra and can manage it) would throw something in the mail and send it
off to you.

I bless people, that's my line of work in this lifetime.

I'm covered [emoji]128588[/emoji][emoji]127997[/emoji] so I cover someone else from time to time.

If you can't understand that, then the world made you too cold to receive and see a blessing.

Yeah man... I really just wanted a pear but took a lot of Ls... Paid resell on release day with the assist of a fellow NTer (good price) then later that afternoon sister in law told me she won me a pear at NDC.
