Try eBay uk, I've bought for $280 shipped and got 10% eBay bucks.

struck out. still on the hunt.
got a few more resources left, if they fall through, ahh well. on the CHI Xs and Cement IVs.

to all of you still in the same boat as me, best of luck to ya. hope for the best.

Wow, all these different threads, hard to keep up.

Anyway, hope all you guys that haven't got yours yet end up with them. My NatterJacks order finally came through, no customs luckily.

 

[jordanxi45]

I was able to order one pair from Nike.com and another two from eastbay. No lining up BS, just like the SJ's & Cool Greys.

Also traded some idiot on craigslist one of my pairs of concords for some DS 2001 blk/red XI's.

To the people who still haven't gotten their pair, just keep looking on craigslist. I have seen some people asking as low as $280...offer them $250 and they will take it.

Actually, I just found some NDS Space Jams for $250, check em out...He said he wore them 3 times max and has the original laces too. Good deal??

Amidst all the shipping and "fake or not" comments, I needed to get an answer to the question I asked 30 pages ago.

Does the paper aid in the yellowing of the soles. MY CG's have been in the box with the paper since RD and have just started to yellow a bit in the very middle of the bottom.\

Any info or insight would be greatly appreciated.

tried locating my local delivery depot from the DPD website and it came back with nothing.  Is that only a UK thing?

I ordered on the 23rd as well.  My shipment is still in NY @ customs based on tracking from USPS.
I emailed Parcel Force earlier today to try and get some further information since they were the courier from the UK.  Someone mentioned that once it hits the US it may get a different tracking number ... I don't know.  

I just know my kicks are sitting in customs since the 5th and if I need to do something to get them moving how the hell can I do that??

My first order was through Parcel Force.  I think mine sat in customs for like a day or two.  You can always take the tracking number that ends in GB and plug that into USPS tracking.  It'll be the same tracking number

DPD is only UK - you need to contact DPD to get your US tracking number

My CG's have been in the box in a cool dark place since release day in 2010 and there is no yellowing at all. I don't think the paper makes a difference but I could be wrong. Also, do you keep silica packets inside with the shoes?? If not, put some in there. It will help.

Was lucky enough to get 2 pairs...still in the hunt for one more size 12 but will not pay anything over $250 if not then watevs! Also trying to help a friend out on getting his pair. Patience is the key on getting a pair for the price you want.

Our release here in Vegas was smooth at my local NT...they even had some contest on who had the nicest/rare Js and they had to be worn. Winner would get a pair of cords. Needless to say that there were some sick Js out there that night but I know most dudes didn't want to UNDS their heats for a chance to win a $200 shoe. Best release party I've went to, no riots,fights etc.

My NT made everyone go around the line once so everyone could at least get a pair of their own size. If you wanted to buy more you would have to go back in line then when you get to the front you need to pick a chip from a bag. Black chip=1 pair so if you pick that you only get to purchase the first pair you got and pretty much stood in line twice for nothing. White chip=2 pairs and you get to buy another one then go home. Red chip=3 pairs so you could buy the second pair and go back in line again. Max was 3 pairs if you were lucky. Was semi lucky and picked a white chip.

Thank you sir for the info!

Where can I obtain silica packs?

 

[yoadj]

my order from snipes still says that it's in germany what the hell is customs doing with them for this long???

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.

a lame from the other site flaked on me today like a lil bish.

 

[tuxracer88]

finally got around to posting and a new thread started again..lol

anyways, got my pairs in from EC finally, I am officially done with this release.

good luck to everyone still on the hunt.

 

[Lizakers]

I've had nothing but bad fortune with this release.
website crashes, standing in line and getting nothing, restocks - getting nothing

Dudes got multiple pairs, still coppin more.
All I want is one size 11 without paying double on ebay.

This release really soured me on JB a little bit.

I got worked on east bay release and nike.com. Server was just too flooded and I couldn't get through at all. I live in Sweden so I just ordered from Kickz.com. Simple fast and safe, Got the shoes within a week. If theres any other big release like that again I don't have to worry about the big sites, its just a waste of time. Sorry for the people who couldn't get them at all....Just a shoe though.

They were a sz.10.5.
Lil young kid met me. Was a little unsure if dude was serious...but sure enough, they were legit. Dude was geeked when he saw the concords....LOL.

That's bs. Defiantly call the dm or corporate. I hate employees who pull this crap, they're not a mom and pop, stock holders(profits) come before employees. Employees can line up like the rest.
