I wanted these, but not paying anything over $180. I work a corporate job where I can only wear Jordans on weekends so even though I wanted to add these to my collection I'm not going to be upset I didn't get them at retail. And to the rumors these are dropping on NDC Aug. 30th, I'm not sure I will be as hype for them. I wanted to rock these with shorts at a summer cook out or bbq.
 
I did the same thing buying peoples pairs while they thought they were eating and I know what Im doing to each is own tho. Who knows, I may have made the smart move or the dumb one. Well see, as for that guy I would never do it on 34th st. at Flight23 too many wolves out there.
I was out there and there were Police out there... They must have followed him somewhere

I agree....things are getting out of hand
Yep, almost time for me to move on, esp with me going to korea for a year.
 
Glad you were able to buy one pair, $350 tho but it's better than nothing, especially when you see all these crazy folks on ebay

I'm a 9 us, on ebay, there are 2 offers from UK in that size,

540 euros and 695 euros, greedy as F....

a guy is even trying to sell the black toe for 630 euros, completely nuts

gonna try end tomorrow, but they'll drop randomly, so i'm pretty F....

hope nike's gonna restock, but it's unlikely

first time i saw that in europe,

still on the hunt for a decent price, but I'm kinda F... right now
You will find them, I'd just wait, those number are way to much.

I usually feel this same way, however there are certain releases I don't want to miss on and since I can afford them, I just go in and cop them.

if this is bad imagine NDC dropping these with all this hype build up....... i dont even want to think about it, most likely a random drop to avoid the madness
 
Lol some of yall cheap *****es need to get ya money game right... Paid $100 over retail for my first pair and gonna double up tonight on my second pair off a local fb shoe group. Seattle Craigslist is dry as hell which is unusual for Jordan releases but who cares at least I got mine...

I don't know if i should sell my pair and take that money and pay resell price to get my size (8.5) or should i just wait for a restock. I love money too much to pay $400+ then to possibly pay retail... Then again i want to grab a pair before UA start hitting our streets

I'd sell now while the hype is there and cop your size. These will rise and NDC is wishful thinking.

^^^^ real spit when you snooze you pay for it big time. The times we in never sleep.
 
I went to go pick up my pair and tons of people waiting in line in case there were extras. Some kid was asking people what size they had and I just happened to have his size. He told me he'd pay $450 and told I just told him $400. I wasn't going to sell but the kid seemed really down about not getting a pair and was stoked to pay so much.

Shoes are crazy now. I remember buying all walking into a footlocker in 2001 and buying the black/red, black/blue, silver, and white/navy  retros for retail and they were like 80 each. Now those were the days. 
I remember going to Shoe city (A shoe store here in the DMV) getting the black/red 1 on 8/25/2001(2 days before the first day of school for my 9th grade year), which was the release day. I remember me and my brother going there and it was only 2 or 3 people there getting them. it was such a easy cop and this was when just going to the store at the actual opening time was almost a guarantee you will get a pair. Back then, they were limited, but it didn't seem like people knew about that release back then until people saw me wearing them..lol! Retail was $80, which was just the good days of buying kicks without hassle..
 
Random NDC drop would be legit....Last night some dude that didn't even know about the Chi 1's scooped up on a unclaimed pair (Size 8.5) at Footaction and sold it to a kid right when he walked out the store for $260 lol. Kid got a deal. Dude thought he came up big time, little did he know he could've got 500 elsewhere haha.

Some dudes don't care, profit is profit to them and with first of the month obligations for most people coming up Im hoping to see more pop up on Craigslist myself.
 
A lot of the buyers are China buyers sending to an international forwarding place. The Chinese market is 1000x more thirsty for these than the US. All but TWO messages (of like 50+) I had on Twitter and IG was from a CN buyer. I've heard the same from other people as well.

ive noticed. thats probably why sizes 7.5-10 are reaching 600

What size do you have? Sell your pair and purchase the one in your size for the same price. It'd be a complete wash.

I sold a GS size and made $115 profit. Now I'm going to use the profit to pay for another pair in my size today so I'm only really paying $235 out of pocket.

Far from cheap I have $1,000 Louboutin sneakers, but they RETAILED at that price. View media item 1558901
I'm just NOT paying $500 to some dirty back pack looking reseller, for a retro sneaker that is worth $160. Unless Jordan himself autographed it.
