Air Jordan 5 2013 "Elephant print" 23rd anniversary

700



HERE'S MY PAIR... IN MY OPINION, THE QUALITY IS PRETTY SOLID. THE LEATHER LINING ADDS A NICE TOUCH OF LUXURY TO 'EM, AND THE OVERALL CONSTRUCTION OF THE SHOE IS VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER. MUCH LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS MENTIONED, I HAVE SOME YELLOWING ON THE SOLES OF BOTH SHOES, :smh:

BUT, ALL IN ALL, I'M PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASE. :nthat: . NEXT UP: BEL AIR 5'S! HOLLA...

Just got my order cancelled by FNL. ordered 1 pair from them and they cancelled them. Wtf. Not sure why but every time I go to checkout, it denies all my payment methods. Anyone else have any info on the payment issues? If so is it resolved, and how
 
Flagged for what?
Apparently FNL flags your payment options if you spend more than a certain amount a day, something along the lines of that but I've only got one release there and I used PayPal as usual, my payment got rejected 6 times which made completely no sense.
 
OBVIOUSLY, YOU MUST BE AS "BORED" AS I AM TO TAKE THE TIME TO RESPOND TO MY POST,RIGHT?
BUT... I'LL TELL U WHAT... I'LL GO AHEAD AND GIVE U TWO POINTS FOR YOUR ATTEMPT AT TRYIN' TO BE FUNNY,OK?

BY THE WAY, DON'T EVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM OF BECOMING A COMEDIAN... YOU'LL GET THERE SOMEDAY,CHAMP. I BELIEVE IN YOU.

NOW, BACK TO THE KICKS. HOLLA...

No one's trying to be funny. I was giving an honest opinion. You seriously must be bored x2.
 
I figured it was very odd for people to order off fnl with no splash screen for about 10 min. Tried for my second pair on fnl and instantly got the sold out message.
 
My pair was cancelled from FNL and I received my confirmation email at 8:01 AM... Needless to say, I'm pretty upset right now.
 
I'm still upset that I had these in my cart and when I checked out, they were gone. :smh: Oh well, better luck next time.
 
As far as the elements, I think theyre

L = Lizard Skin from the Jordan 2s
CF = Carbon Fiber from the Jordan 11s
PL = Patent Leather from the Jordan 11s
RE = Reflective 3M from the Jordan 5s
W - Weave Material from the Jordan 15s
K- Netting from the Jordan 4s
It = Italian Leather from the Jordan 2s
Sm = Possibly the Hologram on the Jordan 13s
 
Dont forget shipping fees, most likely 90 dollar profit IF you can sell at 400. Not worth the time.
Even less than 90. Don't forget buying the box to ship them in plus transportation/gas to and from the post office/ups store. Shoes are really only worth reselling if your making 100 or more after all expenses are accounted for. And it's more than 2 hours time when u factor in everything. But people don't look at it that way. They just like to cop and resell. Doesn't matter a lot of the time how much profit they make on certain kicks as long as they get back what the paid for outta pocket. For some its a hobby, for some they really need the money. Once again only worth the time and effort if making back 100+ Profit after expenses
What if my opportunity cost is lower than yours?
 
Heard all the comments of those saying they got ther FNL orders cancelled.

So I checked my order status, and I guess I wz one of the lucky ones who's

orders went through. Mine will be arriving Friday at the end of the day can't wait.
 
cancel some of the orders. not all, they sold over their stock. so they had to cancel a few orders.

I was thinking SM for the 13's stands for Side Mesh, as in the side mesh panels, I could be wrong though. Don't see how K has any relevance to Netting on the 4's.
 
FNL is so clueless they are sending out tweets on the Bel Airs that no one informed their Social Media peeps that they are not getting. LOL
 
I feel sorry for all the people getting pairs cancelled from FNL. I tried ordering there too and got multiple check out errors, so many that my credit card temporarily blocked my account and made me call in to reactivate my card. SMH. I don't know what it is about their website but it's been like that for years. I don't think they're ever going to fix it.
 
I was lucky and was able to order 2 from FNL during release day and at least got one shipped and one cancelled. One was ordered on 8:05 and the other on 8:15 yet the 8:15 order was the one that shipped.   I also saw a couple of comments that said their orders were made early yet their orders still got cancelled, so does FNL ship from latest orders to first until they run out of stock and say fuk we sold too much?  (if they do that is stupid)
 
I def agree with both of you, but if I can buy for 225 and trade for some fear 5s, wouldn't u rather go that route instead of coming out of pocket 400+?
Ain't nothing wrong with trades. Nothing at all. I'm looking for a second pair of fears myself. I think they will be the most valuable in the long run.
So you're cool with people copping multiples to trade, but not to sell?
 
Got my FNL order cancelled as well, smfh i ordered at 8:02 wtf!! Lol

I know another guy posted that they got email confirmation at 8:01am... Not sure if thats possible when everyone knew that the sizes didn't really pop up until about 8:03-8:04am. The link was up by 8am tho.

I had a feeling FNL oversold on RD .. too many ppl came in claiming victory, multiple pairs at that, when they didn't have that many pairs online to begin with.

Both my orders from FNL didn't get cancelled. Luck not sure, but I order both right before the splash page came up.
