I have mine. One pair. Finishline raffle.
He asked a question that I answered sincerely. If he wanted the answer that he knew and wanted to hear, then he shouldn't have asked because he knew anyway.

Opinions are often misunderstood as facts.

Honesty. I agree with you bro. When you choose hype over facts that's what happens. Some people on this this thread were claiming high quality before they even got them in hand. You notice on most Youtube videos they only brag about the red tumbled part. They know the rest of the shoe is bs.

I read your post and didn't have to write a story proving who or what I know to prove anything.
He feels Jordan did enough to make him happy with his purchase. It's 300$ bucks not that deep for some. To him clearly not
He didn't aske about quality he asked about was his resell purchase a good deal. Which given the climate all things considered it is.
Ur answer was based on ur bias toward quality not that towards the question at hand.

Probably different factory made specific pairs that went to specific markets

But he didn't have to do all that to advertise. Dudes already salty that they missed out, don't throw it in their face.
If I'd been robbed before this isn't what I would do.
And before it starts, I have pairs at retail.

But I didn't state my opinion as facts. I stated them as opinions. And have since characterized them as such.
I feel fairly confident, though not 100%, in a few things that I mentioned that could maybe masquerade as "facts." The 2011 banned 1 and the Shadow 1 in 2009 were arguably better quality. And an athletic shoe, on average, costs about $9.00 to produce.

My quality comment referenced a different gentleman who made reference to the quality being good.
I didn't make a quality point in response to the gentleman from Australia's post. He asked a question about was something worth it and I answered.
And just because someone can afford something doesn't make it wise. But people should spend their money how and when they choose. But you can't have it both ways. Don't ask if something is a decent price if you're not soliciting sincere responses.

All right, we get it, dude. You don't like them.
I take them as what they are, a pair of $160 shoes.
for that, they're better than average.

NT loves to paint the picture of resellers as broke snake in the grass know nothing opportunist. 99% of resellers are looking for a quick easy flip we're not talking stocks here 
I wasn't planning on getting 2 pairs but it ended up happening that way, and I made enough to cover my pair and that was enough for me. Lord knows if my personal pair is still DS in a year and they're going for $500 I'll gladly let my pair go for market value

If it cost $9 to make then $160 isn't a decent price either. But since you entered a raffle for the right to overpay on something you yourself deemed not of value, guess you needed it for your own satirical needs. Carry on.

In light of the 23Penny talk, I though it appropriate to revisit one of my fav vids of all time.

This is always my retort to those who say that it's financially prohibitive to make a good quality Jordan at a fair price. It's very possible. It's actually easy. Michael Jordan's cut of the profit was 100,000,000 last year alone from Jb. And he is the lower end of the profit margin food chain. Where are all those profits coming from? The marriage of decreased quality and increased demand.
I have two pairs of shadow 1 from 2009. They are an uncompromising shoe with remarkable quality. It can be done if people want it and talk with their wallets.
If folks would stop gushing over everything Jb excretes from its rectal cavity, then they would increase quality to generate demand.

Man I struck out yesterday, really need these best I have found is 300 shipped. Thinking about waiting a bit to see if prices go down I don't want to jump on these to quick. Hell I got SBB for 260 shipped a week after release

Apparently there was a lot of support for him when he got robbed. Even Bun B put out a vid supporting him. I don't want to see anyone get robbed, but don't put yourself in position for that to happen either. No way I would be broadcasting after that happened. Especially after a release like this with many people salty.

Doubled up and definitely keeping both. Won't even bother selling any as these are collectibles that should rise in value overtime. Beat the hell out of one and have another on ice. Nows the time to buy from resellers if you missed out as they try to unload.
