Mr Musashi did you make it to SNS? Stores pretty cool had a few gems in there on Saturday. Spoke to Mubs and I dnt think they're getting the FO's. Nike haven't given them TZ status yet, being a bit funny apparently.

What I don't understand is why it is so unacceptable to be a 'lurker'. Not everyone has something to contribute in the way of valuable information. Others don't post because they're afraid of being flamed by the regulars. I spent months 'lurking', desperately hoping I could help someone out and build my rep up. But I don't know that much about shoes.
The fact is, I'm not a reseller. I wear every pair of shoes I buy the same day I buy them. I'm not an Agassi fan. I don't like tennis. I also don't like basketball. But I wear Jordans and ATC's. Why? BECAUSE I LIKE THE SHOES.
It's not about what other people are wearing or how limited they are, it's about what appeals to you.
The reason you've never seen me on this forum before is because up to now, I haven't been a big fan of any of the ATC's i've seen. Then the other day a friend shows me the pic agassi posted on socia media of the FO's with red laces and at that exact point, i didnt care they were ATC's, i didnt care they were agassi's shoes and I definitely didnt care that they were Nike. But I thought 'wow what a beautiful shoe'
So I came on here to see if I could find any information on how to get myself a pair.
IS THAT SO BAD!?!?! I'm sick of feeling like I'm not welcome in these threads. Forums are for everybody. If they weren't they'd have a password. Ease up on us 'lurkers', because some of us would be regulars if we knew as much as you guys do.

Sick!... my aussies just arrived yesterday and I'm more than thrilled about them especially will the price since it was the first shoe I got for resell. Everything is on point with them most likely gonna be my favorite shoe outta the slams (the dutch orange on the shoe helps a lot lol which i know Koen will appreciate ha) however gotta wait till my FOs arrive on Wednesday to confirm my judgments.

Stating that you're not an Agassi fan isn't the best way to introduce yourself in here lol, but hey do you I guess.

that shouldn't matter!!!! this is NIKETALK. a forum for sneakerheads. It's not a tennis forum, it's not a basketball forum. It's a sneaker forum. I'm not saying I dont like Agassi, in fact he's one of the coolest athletes ever, but would I say im a FAN of Agassi? no, because I'd be lying. I dont watch tennis. Growing up in Canada, we were surrounded by nothing but hockey. None of the people I knew watched basketball OR tennis.
But unfortunately friends, I can't wear the latest hockey skates out on streets. So here I am, 'lurking' on what is apparently YOUR forum, looking for help.
Sorry for googling ATC French Open.

Actually Nike Talk has tennis and basketball threads and isn't just for sneaker heads, they even have threads on computer games and Latina models.

I like those mint hybrids. Now if they would just do that with the black pair that was sampled years ago. Still never understood why Nike refuses to use the plastic material on the heel instead like they had on the iv's.

Relax buddy. I didn't take any shots at you. I just pointed out the irony, especially considering the current climate of the thread.
No offense, but I really don't understand if you state that you're "not a fan of Agassi" and also "not a big fan of any ATC's", why would you take the time to be "googling ATC French Open"?
Doesn't really add up

Just a note on Agassi himself, was a big fan back in the day....the ATC 3's were the first pair of shoes I really really wanted but could never afford, loved those neon yellow accents & I even had me the cheaper model Donnay & Head signature rackets of his for knocking a few balls about but f**k me does that guy play the victim in his book, am about halfway through now
"woe is me I hate tennis, woe is me im a millionaire in my early 20's bla bla bla"........actually kinda ruins my memories of being in awe of him as a kid to hear him moan so much

come on man, i can't believe im replying to this. if you read my post you'd see that I was shown the ATC FO's by a friend, hence the reason I googled ATC FO. It does add up, you're math skills just aren't the sharpest.

lol well you'd know better than me, I remember the 2007 retro being regarded as terrible & it wasn't even the correct shade of yellow was it?
What year did they originally release? Can still remember staring at them through the shop window in lust

can we just go back to the shoes please, I'm sick of all this nonsense..
for the people that did their research and where ready to buy it 3 months ago it is an impossible shoe to get so why bother asking for links..
on the other hand almost every online information about the ATC retros has come from the dedicated members of this thread, so it aint strange people come here and ask for info.
we all just got to live and eat together..
I hope somebody can shed some light on a EU release for the royals?

You make some very valid points. I myself am a huge PETE SAMPRAS fan..... U MAD?
No i kid i kid. But seriously this thread is just as bad as most popular JB releases. The elitist mentality and the constant whining about noobs is no better than the idiot buying mulitple pairs to resell or paying a size 12 when he is a 9.5. I recently got into shoes late 2010-early 2011 completely oblivious to waiting in line for shoes, camping, quickstrikes, the term hypebeast, resellers etc. I had no idea what I was getting into. But at the end of the day I just like shoes. And when it came to the FOs. This cw appealed to me more than any of recent ones and I just would love to rock the **** out of them. So clean! I was oblivious to the fact it would be limited or "hyped". I just cop what I like and what I think looks dope. In a good world I could walk into my local spot see these on the shelf, ask for my pair and just walk out.
I entered this thread for info just to see if it could help increase my chance of grabbing a pair and maybe post on the reg to chop it up and contribute when I can but got more bickering about noobs and elitist style posting than I would care for. Like some of yall own this thread. Or because someone who doesn't post in here frequent is a hypebeast for liking the shoe. I can see why some just lurk instead of chopping it. There just shoes its not THAT serious.

The retro was a terrible shoe. Too bulky was the worst thing. The yellow was slightly off, but that wasn't the main problem.
1991 was the OG, but that was called "Hot Lime", which was commonplace with a lot of Nike shoes at the time.
