Air Jordan XI CONCORD AFTERMATH thread. STILL NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!

Probably all those that cancelled on here. They're getting cute with the +10.00 for all those pairs so really its $279 + shipping.

I'm just giving those who care a heads up. Proceed with caution.

We receive a restock shipment today. Only 2 pairs per size. (8, 8.5, 9, 10, 11.5, 12, 13)

Shipping date: January 12-13, 2012.

Seriously, your last 3 posts have been about Mental Kicks but according to you you're in no way affiliated with them. I'm beginning to think you're part of their team because you keep posting restocks they have, you yourself said they sold fakes so why do you keep informing people who out of desperacy might jump the gun and actually purchase from that site. No one posts Air-Randy restocks and certain other companys, if you detest the site so bad stop telling people about it and then in an attempt to redeem yourself warn them to take caution.

I peeped my local Craigslist upon curiosity of reading another NTers suggestion.....

Well lets just say there are some damn fools in the DC, VA area lololol...

I mean what they are asking is a few bucks short of a first born and right arms lol

WOW.

 

[aomrani]

Still bitter about this. 

Can't believe my second pair had a flaw.

After locking down my pairs at midnight at NT I went to a local Champs for 6am release.
The footlocker next door opened at 8am.
Everyone had to wait outside the mall and the Champs manager came out to pass out tickets.
Since I got my ticket that ensured my size..
When security started allowing people in the mall.. I just walked over to Footlocker and started that line.
My boy was too far back to get a ticket from Champs so I told him to just walk in the mall and he can have my spot in line for Footlocker.
Everyone else who didnt get a ticket for Champs lined up at Footlocker. I would say about 70 people lined up for Footlocker.
So after I get my pair from Champs I'm waiting for my boy to get his pair.
Footlocker manager and another employee show up around 7:20am..
At this point.. Everyone is excited.. Dudes are on craiglist already making listings and talkin bout how they are gonna sell for $500.
15 min later.. The manager comes out and announces "We only have 9 pairs for sale!" and then yells out the random sizes they have

The whole line looked like they just got their world rocked.
Sooo Champs gets close to 90 pair and you guys only get 9? I was shocked.. But the majority were angry.
A lot of people started to verbally abuse the manager and they had to be escorted out by security..
But really tho.. How you gonna have a FSR of youth but only 9 pairs of mens?
A lot of people were salty. My boy got his pair and we left to try to execute the next spot on our list.
You could see it in their eyes.. They lied about their stock.. Straight up. But what can you do?
Its a cold game.

You COULD call their district manager or even corporate and report them. I know one manager out here that got fired last year for pulling some "reserve" stuff for some of his buddies, the DM wasn't having it on his watch. 

Its all about store alottment, Im sure he got more than 9,  but there is a possibility that it wasnt much more. Our footaction got 12 mens, YES ONLY 12, The footlocker right down from us got 34 mens, we got around 40 give or take Kids, starting at infants, Of course people thought we were holding seeing as that Footlocker got more. We as employees had to wait on line if they wanted them, and some employees went home empty handed like the rest of the mob that was lined up. Everyone is quick to call corprate when they dont get their pair. Its not hard to become good with a specific manager that will look out for you, IF the stock allows it.

Yea.. I'm not the type to call DM's or corporate..
I just accept things for what they are now.
Lets face it.. A lot of employees are hypebots.
They only work at these HoH, FA, NT because of self-interest. And I cant even be mad at that.
I mean.. I'm even considering dropping my resume off at NT so I can be on the squad when Yeezys drop

 Jp
But for real tho.. Its not often that I will encounter a knowledgeable and humble employee.
Thats why I associate with a select few local spots that are usually able to hold me down..
If not.. I will take my chances on the interweb rather then to have to deal with some of these retailers.
Of course.. This only applies to major releases.

You dont think those are fake? what are they then? ****** box special edition?  They are FAKE

It amazes me that people are satisfied paying $300 for crap like that.

[cashm0neyand1]

We have established that mental kicks sell bgrade/fake/early release shoes. Why the heck are we even talking about it still. Didnt we already know that from the White/Cement 3 Thread?

Can you even see that when you're wearing them?

 

[the truth82]

The only real pairs pre order are from sidelineapparel. Who were the lucky ones to get a pair
Lines where busy and the guy who posted in here during the time of the order made the phones line crazy...

 

[cashm0neyand1]

I have OCD. 
lol

It's not that noticeable but there was also a glue spot on the mesh. 

Again, really minor. 

I'm such a baby.

Not like they will stay clean forever and I do plan on wearing the second pair.

After people began purchasing their sneakers the bums kept true to their word and robbed 2 people up the block. The mob (since it was no longer a line) became unruly around 2am and HOH called the cops and closed down. The cops arrived and told everyone to go home. At about 3am after half the line left they reopened and I was near the front of the line 4 people away and they sold out of 9.5 (fml) so I went in with my girl we both got one pair of size 10 and left. Never again.... My pairs don't have any flaws the quality is great and it came with the shiny paper, no stamp.

 Damn son they closed literally 15 minutes after I copped my pair. I avoided the goons, i brought a backpack.

pay extra and buy early from a mom and pop to avoid this crap

 

[eugenile gts]

from Natter

THANKS NATTER, looks like box got wet or ssomething on corner end:

well on to the important stuff:

size 11 is too small for me. i wanted to double up. got my true size 11.5 from end. compared all 3, (natter, end, and friends from ftl) all look on par. all boxes have the stamp as people indicated.

are DS space jams a fair trade, or are these valued higher where i can ask + cash too?

 

[attitudematters]

Anyone else have CT pair that didn't ship yet ? I ordered on release day

 

[chewdeezy]

Is NatterJ's the only Euro site that didn't double box?

P.S finish line send my sons damn sz10c !!!

I ordered on release day and got my order Saturday (I used sneakersaver shipping). Email them giving your order number and ask has it shipped. They're pretty quick at getting back to you.

 

[lebronh8er]

Check the list or ask Mods, that is the easiest way to find out. One dead give away on a site is to check the "contact us" on there site, if is email only, usually means stay clear. Also check to see where they ship from, even if it the US, they may have in small print where the warehouse is that they truly come from. If they ship from New Zealand or most of the South Ring ( Asia islands) , Australia , stay away, most will be knockoffs and fakes. Hope this helps a little.

I emailed them 3 days ago and they said they will ship soon.

Yea that's what i'm going to try and wait for.. No way i'm paying more than double retail price. If they don't drop any, i'll just have to pass

 

[lebronh8er]

Got 2 pairs from Nike.com, have no clue how with all the website crashes and busy phone lines, didn't believe it even when I saw the order confirmation, not until I had a tracking number was I happy. Ran into the same crap with the Bron 9 xmas with Finishline, only got half my order and I had a confirmation number.

i live in asia(jakarta, indonesia) and i copped my pairs from a nike's official retailer here in my country. so my pairs dont have that MSRP tag like u guys have in the states.
lets say i im gonna sell my cords here on NT or ebay or wherever, because im from asia my pairs are considered knockoffs and fakes?

damn man that definitely sucks..
