Jordan 8 Doernbecher on the way...

You joke about that Alp but I already have. The only thing I mainly wear and collect now are Jordan 1s. I don't like most of the Jordan line now. I'm a 10-10.5 but a 13 could have at least got me to a trade or trade bait for something I missed out on. And it's just not this release that made me decide to hang it up, its a couple of things, namely getting older and putting my life in perspective. Not to mention when I get a pair now, I barely wear them. And I'm not down with paying 200 for a "remastered" retro that I already owned for half the price years prior

I feel where youre coming from. I personally enjoy the madness of releases and they give most of the shoes I cop a nice little backstory to them. makes it a little more interesting to me than just clicking a few buttons on a website and trying my luck. plus you get to meet new ppl etc.

nah when you see the two shoes in person they are completely different. plus if that wasn't associated with the bears cw I think they are dope.
 
Curious of to why has one of my orders been shipped, but my other two say "Submitted?"

This was probably the worst crash for Nike this year.  Kobe MP/Tiff , and WTKD and Cigar pack had nothing on this.  Took 30 minutes just to log in but I still got a pair from all the beasts just like those other releases.
 
I don't mind these DB's, pretty jelly im not gonna lie. Don't u guys complain next time theres a international only release, you guys get all the DB's smh.

Might as well share my story. I paid for 3 ATC slots (2 from lightningrsvp, 1 from RSVPers). Well it took 45 minutes to log into either of my NDC accounts and only the size 13 from RSVPers got carted. I get all the way through the checkout process and get the Cary jacked message. I try again and again and about 30 minutes later the pair gets put back in my cart and lo and behold, I get cart jacked again.

So, while at work today, a lot was put into perspective. I've wasted a good amount of the past decade and much money buying shoes with nothing to show for it. So, this release was the final straw. The sole decision that made me realize that buying these shoes aren't even worth it anymore. At 30 years old, I'm finally free from this hobby for good. Infrared 6s, which I have a pair on lock in store, Fragment 1s, and that's it. I don't want to go to another sneaker show, I don't want friends who base their life around sneakers, I just don't want a part of it at all. I feel like I kicked a major drug habit and have had a real epiphany. I've had my run, and am blessed enough to say that I have had just about every colorway and mostly every sneaker I ever wanted

I know how you feel. I'm older than you and my first Jordan was the "Chicago 1's" in 1985. I'm almost at the same point as you. I'm buying less than I used to and the prices and how hard it is to get what I want is just ruining the whole thing for me. The joy is almost gone. I completely get where you're coming from.
 
@maddman8023 I highly doubt that was the case, a bunch of bots got thru. I think nike's ****** servers is what made the site crash and actually give some non bot users a chance, not the fact that nike cancelled so many orders lol

SO I GOTTA TELL THIS STORY:


As you know, I've been busy begging for carted pairs and asking people for help. On twitter the homie DM'd me tryna send me a carted pair---but she couldn't. THEN THIS RANDOM #NT'ER who I asked this morning to help RANDOMLY asked for my NDC info. I give it to 'em. FIVE SECONDS LATER I CHECK MY ACCOUNT AND THERE'S A PAIR IN MY CART AND I WAS ABLE TO CHECK OUT!!!!


Man I swear I love #NT and the sneaker community. It's a lot douches out there but it's still a handful of good people. HERE HERE!!!! I COOKED! I FINALLY COOKED!!!!

Having them release here and being able to get them are worlds apart. Complaints will ensue next release

Waiting to see on feet pics of the janoskis and 8s . I really wanted both of those. I have not got through on anything really hyped since the gammas but I'm sure NDC alone had like a couple tens of thousands of them so not that significant. I see pretty much every buy it now pair that was there yesterday still there at $650 shipped today I expect prices to go down, not Db 10 go down but not that high.
