those Dunk forces are growing on me.. but I wont cop those unless I can get them for the very low.. like 120ish.. I gotta stay strong for Datas

I dont see any aways on JJ and Villa, but even when they did have them they were still 200 dollars. those shoes sold well so they had no reason to discount them.  

Bruh, I don't understand why you keep beating a dead horse. All those sites had them discounted. Ask @LyPac  he bought a pair from JJ last week. They didn't sell that well and they were under $200 at all those sites. None of the GR XIs sold well

 

[lypac]

Definitely best part of the shoe is the DM logo on the side of the shoe.

First look at the Akron PE for this season: 




That gold posite 

 

those would be a day 1 cop for me

 

[andfattoo]

I'm guessing we'll probably see Kentucky, Duke, and Michigan State PEs sometime before the Champions Classic (Tuesday)... Akrons are niiiice.

Hmmmmm..... I may hold off on ID if they drop a UK cw.

yes they did

 

[All Ready]

akrons are stupid

the fact that I like them leads me to believe they won't release

 

[illmatic]

yes they did

Selling well is a relative term. When I seen just about every GR sitting on shelves and getting discounted they didn't sell well to me, especially compared to let's say a retro JB shoe. If you're going by Nike's claims that they sold more XIs than any other Lebron model then yeah I suppose you can interpret that as selling well. But thats besides the point, which was that Aways were on sale last week and they could be had for under retail a year after release

you don't have to go by nikes word to know there were some colors that sold EXTREMELY well.

the KP, Miami Nights, and Aways did numbers. Thats a fact.

 

[iks mod]

Akron got a PE, not BC Lebron is from there; but BC of the University of Akron. His high school coach went on to coach there and one of the 4 horsemen played there

I do know that...

wasn't tryin to get all sappy with that post too haha. my bad

3 out 20+ colorways did numbers. Whoop dee doo. And FYI I see Miami Nights on sale in a few sizes on JJ as we speak. 

 

[iks mod]

Looking forward to seeing the final product here

you said none of the GR XIs sold well. NONE = ANY.
Just because you see some on sale, it doesn't mean anything about total units sold.

 

[sneakerfree]

Oh my... those Akrons

I've said it in here (or the XI thread) but Akron VIIs are a grail that I know I'm never gonna drop the money people want for them. These would satisfy me.

 

[illmatic]

I mean if you really wanna nitpick every word I said and take it literally thats fine. This conversation is just going back and forth, so I'll stop. They're a flop in my eyes, regardless of what anyone says. If you believe the XIs did well, I'll respect your opinion and move on

i just don't understand how you can even make that believable. the lebron 11 sales/earnings have been posted at different times and the dollar signs say sold extremely well. you think because it didn't sell out its a flop. thats extremely narrow minded.

2 of his Boyz... Romeo and Dru both went to Akron

Again, I respect your opinion and my stance still doesn't change. And yes perhaps I am being narrow minded, but I take sales figures from public companies with a grain of salt. I've audited enough publicly traded companies to know that there are countless ways they can go about padding numbers. Not saying that this is in fact the case here, just exercising professional skepticism

 

[squatchnt]

Akron cw looks good!

 

[thapointguy]

at not giving us the navy upper on iD. Such a tease with that Akron PE.

um ok. according you your theory then, the only products that sell well are sell outs. only GR products that sell well are Jordan Retro shoes.

 

[The7onius]

11s sold very well worldwide, majority of the releases sold out in Europe. No shoe will do Jordan numbers but most do very well.

KPs, GKs, Aways.. all sold well.. what are you talking about.. and getting them on discount like 160-180 isnt 120..  

go on JJ right now.. they have 0 aways.  

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

i got away 11's for $100 

 let's see if i can get the hol's at that price
