Official Slam Dunk Jordan Release Thread

Anyone know that if I got a call from FTL, can my girl go pick up a pair for me by taking my ID and the ticket with her? Or It must be me only. Thanks in advance. I work early and can't go until 7pm.
 
Why buy a prerelease and take that chance at all?
They'd rather take the chance of getting a fake pair early over the chance they might strikeout on release day.

na if ppl do that that's no bueno. Just try and get em out a legit store and if you can't then buy off a reseller. Ppl out here doing it all wrong
 
I'm a size 9 or otherwise called the chinesemainland size. There's only one footlocker here that got them in so I had no chance of copping on release day. Resellers wanted 800+
 
 
Ive had pretty good experiences with buying prerelease pairs before but this *legit* seller will not believe his contact in china sent me a fake. the genuine authentic right shoe is from kickscrew. The seller i will not mention until the issue is sorted. he is waiting for the US release to determine if the ones he sent me are fake or not. LOL this is the last time im buying a pre release ever. I will let the internet decide if my pair are fake or not. 

btw i was ok with some variations in the prerelease but it was ok as the shoe was going to be used as part of an anime display. this is just outright fake. BEWARE
This part got me confused. So you're ok with variations in a prerelease version, which means you're ok with fakes. But what you received was a different kind of fake so you're not ok with it? Fakes are FAKES. What's the point in differentiating between them

Welp, I'm taking the L already so I won't be disappointed this weekend 
 
Well in this case in particular there is a very good chance of striking out on release day so I'm sure there are plenty of people taking what they seem to think is a necessary risk of buying an early pair... I have never bought a shoe early but I get it on a release with such limited availability
 
I just got a pair of the SD Super Fly 3 and the MSRP says $170. Is this a case where Nike decided to raise the price before changing the tags? Anybody else have heard of this?

most times there will be no box which I'm ok with or laces are different. I'll even accept the jumpman having different stitching. In this instance I specifically asked if there was an authentic box and was told yes. As we all know the release pairs got an entirely different box.

you do realize that the pairs with the different jumpman stitching are fake though right? The release pairs got a different box because they are authentic. If they don't come with that manga box then its fake

No one knew that the release pairs would come with the manga box. I knew mine were fake the day of release as I hadn't even looked at them carefully until I put them closeup with retail pairs. I'm sure all those guys who bought them early and posted on YouTube had no idea as we had nothing to reference them against. I've learnt from this experience but the problem is I have no chance of copping limited pairs in Australia on release day.

Hopefully I'll get a refund or something. That's better than paying a jobless mainlander huge amounts of Yuan for camping out in front of footlocker for days in his target brand dunlops. The new raffle system they have is even worse. The only thing worse than standing amongst that filth is standing there with their gfs and grandmas.

For anybody wondering about the t-shirt sizes, the white tee fits differently from the red one. Size up on the red tee and go TTS for the white. I was lucky to pick both of them up in a store so I could see the difference. Normally I wear a M and I sized up to a L for the red tee.
