This 20,000 number is being thrown around so much... but could this number be just THE FIRST PRODUCTION RUN???  Remember Nike/JB is in test mode right now and dropping a shoe that just dropped 2 years ago.... THIS is a big risk with the only true difference may be "NIKE AIR" so why not test the waters... put a so called "limited tag" and see if the shoes sell out. 

Also they drop the shoes during Tax season where they know people have money burning their pockets..... so when they do sell out they have created  an "ARTIFICIAL HYPE" for retros with the "NIKE AIR" treatment.  Outside of some OG's and shoe heads the average joe doesn't know or care about "NIKE AIR".  So many people have posted "hey I got my 2011's so i'm good."

But, with this new artificial hype they can now market these "NIKE AIR" Jordans and make them seem more limited than their predecessors  and everyone and their mom is anticipating the next jordan with NIKE AIR and nothing tojustify the price increase of 40.00 so BAM...200.00 for same materials (maybe a different factory) easy couple of million off two words and a swoosh.

The guys sitting at the JB round table :  "These people are going to pay 40.00 more for just NIKE AIR oh yeah investors and stock holders get ready" And if this test is successful and it will be..... I CAN 100% promise we will either see these again... with a full blown general release... or we will see jordan retro 3 -6 get the "nike air" treatment with a premium price. 

I personally think they are going to milk this as long as possible.... and we may see all 3-6 with nike air treatment.... after that i am done though with JB... and I'm sure many others feel the same...but I know they could care less about losing me or my business, i will be easily replaced.

Best post in here.
 
growth and maturity must eventually transpire

it's a shame that JB controls the display of maturity for most of the veterans posting here
 
Just received an email from SneakerYetti saying they are refunding my money for the pre-order. Prolly because I ordered it when they were asking for a not so ridiculous price, and now they want $500 shipped for these shoes. Oh we'll, guess I'll try my luck at the TLO.

I see this dude at releases in Tampa. I'd rather miss out on a shoe than pay this dude his rape prices.

:lol: no I'd pass because I already have those shoes and I would not cop them just because they have NA on them.
And I'm a grow man with a real job and have enough money to buy any shoe I want so nice try but your wrong. Have a nice day.

$500???  that's kinda crazy
 
^because sneakeryetti is a douchebag that buys all the pairs in Tampa and has no idea how to run a business but charges stupid amounts for relatively easy to get shoes.

This dude literally pays a tribe of like 30 kids, all under the age of 18 who stand in line and buy up all the releases. It's disgusting.

People are gonna pay $400 plus just bc they say "Nike Air" and sadly I can assure none of the veteran NTers will be those people
I wouldn't pay $200

I can't speak for others, but I won't pay over retail for these.
My 2011s are just fine; I'm getting these because I want another pair, NA or not 8)

I do think jb will do a test run with these. They will release 1/2 of the total quantity and then the other half later. I won't be getting these because I feel my 2011's are just as good...but if they release the cement 4's, black/metallic 5's or any 6's with the Nike Air treatment, I will be copping.

I feel you bro... I wear a 14... too.... if it makes you feel any better I live in Houston, like number 2 or 3 shoe capital or easily in the top 5 and getting the size 14 for retail is almost impossible.  Re-selling here is so bad  kids just line to get a shoe on release day not caring what the size, they buy only the intent to re-sell.  I have a connect but have to pay him every release and he usually doesn't get many limited releases and his store didn't even get a sz 14 in the bred 11's and he had almost 100 pair.. and the stores that did all sell there's to the highest bidder...

All HOH's here are a joke if you aren't family or tight with those dudes forget getting any hyped or limited release raffles are rigged for some so I don't know whats worse... not having access to the shoes because they don't come to your town... or having access but it nearly being impossible...you gotta remember too houston has a bunch of celebrities and rappers/drug dealers etc that easily drop a bill or 2 to have their size... so if You don't have it... well you won't have the shoes either:smh:

That is tough. And I am sure those celebs are dropping more than that. I definitely wouldn't be buying from stores there. I have had store workers tell me to just buy the shoe and resell it when I walk out the door. I'm like, "why?" I don't want to take from others and charge them higher just because. And I know stores rig raffles because that is how I got my bred 11's and thunder 4's. Luckily the store got both in my sizes and me and the DM is cool

I totally agree. I even messages them a while back asking if they will fulfill my order. They said they would. Guess not anymore. That's some shady business right there.
