Official Air Jordan VII 'Charcoals' post! 9/1 Don't call 'em Raptors! NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING! - Page 123

anybody's pair from restock ship or "in process" yet? mine still say submitted. .

Mine shipped today, should get them Thursday

Mine shipped today as well! Passed these up a couple times already, had to get em this time around. Anyone else order them .5 size smaller? Been hearing they run big. 

IDK If they fit like the VIs then either my size for VIs is a half size smaller(than most other jordans) and I got a half size lower than that or these shoes are really big and I had to got a whole size down. (Yah I am normally an 11.5 but needed a 10.5 for the VIs)
So I ordered a 10.5 in these. I remember reading on NT that someone went a half size down and it still fit large. A half size should be good for most

 

Damn so you went a whole size down for these Raptor 7's? I ordered mine a half size smaller. They are coming in Thursday, so we'll see but I think it'll be good. 

You'll be good. My feet are long but not very wide. I like my shoes too tight. 11.5 for jordans and 11 for Dunks have usually been good. But last two years of releases I have gone down a half size for jordans.

My range of shoe size stems from my long/thin feet. (Fire Red IVs, Oly VIs, and these I grabbed in size 10.5). I got all the other 2012 kicks in 11 though. If you have wider feet you should be fine

in b4 some idiot tells me I dont know my shoe size.

actually i did catch a fnl restock then they canceled my order for no reason........

Anyone know where I could pick up a GS size? looking for a 5 or 5.5...

My pair is starting to show some wear. Wish I would of doubled up

After wearing them?

I wear these a a good bit. Very durable, and compliments my Olympics great. To be honest those 2 are the only 7's that matter (tears up looking at hare 7's and side eyes 2011 Boudreaux)

Should I sell my size 13 charcoal 7's for $150? They are deadstock condition, including the box and the receipt. They have only been worn about 4 times in all honesty. I feel like I'm taking a loss. 

How even?

at deadstock after 4 wears

Lmao.

Hughes firing shots. 

Never worn, never tried on, same condition as it left the factory = deadstock

"worn about 4 times in all honesty" = used

I have some really really deadstock ones that were worn only once

Wowww . . .. LOL! They are in deadstock CONDITION! They have been worn, but they are very near DS. I'm saying they have no visible imperfections and could pass as DS. I never said they were truly DS and they have also been worn! LMAO! I figured that was obvious, but I guess not.

I'm sorry to "correct" you but deadstock means never worn/tried on.

Once you wear them, they are no longer DS.

They may "pass for DS" but will never be DS again.

Plain and simple.

At least he didn't say they were VVVVVVVVVVNDS

They are in the same condition of DS sneakers. YOU couldn't tell the difference. You should try reading next time. That's plain and simple. 

You just got in to sneakers, huh? He's trying to educate you and you're still choosing to remain ignorant.

When someone ask what condition are they in? Deadstock is the CONDITION of never being worn.

Que the hypebeast alert gif.

Your post is bad, and you should feel bad

Deadstock actually refers to availability in store for retail. When a store runs out of a shoe that will not replenish the stock they had on that shoe is now "dead" hence the term "Deadstock". Most have adopted that term as a condition of the shoe being brand new but it was NEVER really used like that until lazy "Sneakerheads" fell in love with calling their "Limited" shoes "DS". Just saying.

Yep. Y ou'd be surprised how many people don't know the true meaning of "deadstock." Oddly enough, not many people realize that the way we use the term is simply "sneakerhead" slang.

First off, I've been collecting since 2007. sunshineblotters as of right now, you have 2570 posts in one calendar year. That means that you have posted, on average, a little over 214 times per month. If anyone is hypebeast, it is surely you. The shoes are worn or used. I don't understand why so many of you are so focused on talking **** on a sneaker forum. Thanks to PeruWhite for clarification.  

Thanks for the clarification Peru.




So the number of posts per time you joined the site dictates whether you are hypebeast or not?



Wow.

If all you do is hop on niketalk and comment on every single jordan thread, not to mention any names FUTUREDHUGHES, then yes I do believe you would easily fall into the category of a hypebeast. You're excessive comments in Jordan threads have also been noted by "nixonjames" in the Jordan 5 "Grape" thread. Hence these quotes from him, "one of these days i'ma come in a JB thread that you're not excited about picking up Future, one of these days lol" and "i think seein mj eatin popcorn is the constant in so many of these threads XD". He laughs it off, but there was truth in those words. You're even worse than sunshineblotters. You averaged about 411 posts per month in one year! Do you have a life apart from sneakers!? Think about it man. You have multiple times the total amount of posts as what I would refer to as veteran niketalk members! For example, you have over twice the amount of posts as Sneakerfan1 and he has been on here since 2005! You have been on for little over a year and you have DOUBLED the amount of posts of someone who has been on for EIGHT YEARS!

 

YOU HAVE BEEN ON FOR ROUGHLY 1/8th or 12.5% OF THE TIME AS HIM, BUT YOU HAVE SOMEHOW MANAGED TO MATCH HIS TOTAL POST AMOUNT AND THEN DOUBLE IT AND THEN EXCEED EVEN THAT AMOUNT!!!!! 

 

YOU ARE A HYPEBEAST, ACCEPT IT.

 

  AT YOU!
