Got my countdown packs for 320 shipped thru ebay. Finally, after 19 days post release, I got it! I really like both pairs.

Hopefully I'll have them paid for in time to put the 14/9 on layaway. $336 is just too much at one setting for a couple pairs of Retros at this juncture in my collection career. I'm only missing signature 16, 17, 20, 22, 23 so obviously the Countdown will fill the gaps but I'm in no great hurry to get them all home. As long as I know they're safe in a storeroom somewhere I'll be good. Nebraska weather is very inappropriate to un-DS anything that expensive until at least April or May...
I dont condone this. If your funds arent right no need to buy $300+ shoes.Originally Posted by Agent0024
My spot has layaway it's one of the major retailers. I cop everything from them, and it's not like they hide the fact that they have layaway. It's just that no one takes advantage of it. I'll drop $160 for a single pair of Jordans but with tax in my state the Countdowns are $336 and I WILL NOT drop that for 2008 Retros (at one time). It makes it easy for me to make sure I get EVERYTHING I want that drops even if my funds aren't right at the time. I got these off layaway yesterday btw and they are very nice. The XIII toebox looks kinda funky, maybe cuz I haven't had a DS pair of XIII since 1998. Some others on here did comment about the toebox so maybe I'm not all the way off. Yeah, the layaway plug is dope as long as I get there in time to get my size, I'm guaranteed all the releases and they stay DS while I'm paying for them. Finally, I found a way to make this capitalist pig society work for me instead of against me...

Thats Exactly How I feel!!! I'm in the process of putting a display together and I feel like I'll keep my XIII's for display and rock myX's on a semi-regular basis. I feel like I gotta tip-toe around in the XIII's so I'd rather have 'em to look atOriginally Posted by AirUpHere23
As much as I really needed a pair of XIII's and love my pair. I think the Shadows in the package are beautiful and I actually might subconciously appreciate the X's more. I'm still keeping my pack DS for a while. PA weather is horrible right now.

The 10s fit great and have higher quality material. The lack of quality on the 13s is gonna make me skip all the packs except maybe 2 more. I can't pay 328 dollars for shoes and have them be that bad.
