Official Air Jordan X "Chicago" release thread 1/21/12! No buying/selling/trading!

hate to say it...but 2 pairs copped on RD whether on NDC, Eastbay....

one of my favorites
 
Got my pair on lock, the only Xs I'll need...unless I get another shot at the Steels of course.

Diggin' these "sleeper releases", still love my WC IIIs.

Well, this is good for us. You can tell us how they fit with respect to recent releases.
My buddy got a pair a few days ago. We're the same size, and to me, they fit a little bigger than my 2005 steel grey. But they're still tight as hell because of the straps. I recommend getting your true size, or max .5 up.

I'm really diggin' the heel shape on these...leather looks nice and tumbled...hopefully it's more pliable with wear as it was already stated in the last thread that these were a bit stiff and squeaky in person...

Overall...I'm hopeful...

Co-sign.  If they're anything like the last 10's I'll be satisfied.

I've always liked the tumbled leather look.  It gives it that "worn" look which makes it a very low maintenance shoe.  Wear them as much as you want and they still look the same as when you unDSed them.
x2 On the Low Maintenance part. My steel grey 10s I had for like two yrs in highschool, Worn them like 20x's. Dudes always asked me if I re-copped them lol.

Alright. For those that do not have the Steel X's, wouldn't you say that they would fit similar to the TB/BC III's then?

& to quote memphis " THESE WILL FOLLOW THE SAME FATE AS EVERY OTHER JANUARY RELEASE AFTER AN 11 RELEASE."






basically if you wake ya @!% up & get to the stores when they open(or cop early from a mom & pop store) these will be an easy cop....... NO QUESTION...






i was the only person in the store buying the white cement iii's last January

I was disappointed in some of the lines I saw last year.
 
Still ave my steels in great condition from 2005. those were easy cops and sat around for a little bit. Now everyone seems to want them
 
Got these in today. They look really good. I'm gonna try em on tomorrow and hopefully a size 10 will vanish before release day...
 
These I not real big on, yet, but I will probably cop just in case I change my mind down the road. Hyped for IV's not so much on the X's, still look like boots to me, and to plain.

I have the black cement 3's from 2011....i'd say length wise its a good comparison. Unless you've tried on a pair of  X's though, you wont know how annoying those straps are

Thats up to you. What can you see yourself wearing more often? To me it would be these.
 
Originally it was a no go, but I just got a 180 dollar gift card in the mail from Nike because they oversold and weren't able to provide me with my 2 pairs of concords. Apology accepted. FREE SNEAKERS!!!

I'm in L.A.  Where are you located?  
I wish releases were like that.  The "Last Shot" 14's only lasted a few days on the shelves over here. 


I live in the bay area. The Last Shot lasted only a few hours here. I had to go to niketown to pick up a pair -_-
