Aqua 8s Black Friday 2015

Aqua's were available when I went to get the playoffs. They didn't get sleepy on but no no one lost sleep trying to get this shoe. But idk if y'all forgot but almost all of retros had high resell back in 2007-8 because the number of retros for shoes was relatively low. Grapes were $450, DMP pack was $900, and the chrome 8s were like $350. Aqua's were not as popular as the playoffs in 2007; that didn't happen until 2008 when kanye started being regularly spotted in them.

Back in 2006-2009 average resale price was $175-$230 on everything that wasn't marked LS.

Grapes, Carolinas n Lasers were going for $300 because those were the only "limited" releases of the 5s in 2006-2007. The 2001 Concords were going for $500+ back then. DMPs were sitting on eBay n on here for $600-$700 back in 2006-2008 because people didn't want to split the pack to only sell the 11s. The DMP 6s could've been had for $300-350 back then.

All of these resell prices are an accurate representation of how much they sold for in their corresponding year. Will rep when I re-gain the privilege. Also, thank you for providing me with a trip down memory lane. Those prices don't seem so bad nowadays.

They weren't slept on, especially with Kanye. They were a massive general release. Despite that and them cracking, aquas had one of the higher resell values for a general release posted within the past ten years. They were easily going for over $350.

Truth
 
I remember '07 very vividly and the aquas were on everyone's feet then. I remember striking out on Pickyourshoes.com and saying F it I'll cop Playoffs as a consolation. December 21 2007, I remember that day it like it was last year. Long story short PYS screwed me over again. :smh:

Aquas have been that shoe I could never get my hands on. In 7 more days IT ENDS!
 
Grapes suck to me anyway. Never really saw what people saw. I think the light blue and purple colorway always looked better on the aquas.

Aquas were in September n Playoffs were in December of 2007.

I still remember on the Playoff release being 3rd in line with two females in from of me and they told us the smallest size they had were a size 11 as soon as they opened the door :stoneface: but the Aquas were easy.

Aquas were never slept on just resale price was through the roof around the time everyone became a "sneaker head" (2011-2014).

I remember trying to sell my used 07 pair for weeks in 2010 for $150 and nobody wanted them. :lol:

I remember copping aquas easily Back then. Just got to the store about a hour early and easy cop. For the Playoffs, they sold out fast and couldn't get them on release day. My connect did a stock locate and I was able to get them a week after the release date.

I entered the raffle at FTL on Tuesday, and they didn't call...​
 ​
​
 ​
Champ's, and Finish Line aren't doin' it until Sunday, so I'll try there...​
 ​
Hopefully I get a call from either one, because I'm tryin' to double up...​
 ​
I'm tryin' to score a pair online also...​
 ​
I hope everyone who enter the raffle, gets a call.​

Back in '07 Here in seattle i was able to pick up the aqua 8s 2 weeks after release day at the mall lol. I dont remember a lot of people wearing em. But i do remember the playoff 8s being way more popular and being on more peoples feet... I actually liked the playoffs more back then that i bought two pairs of those. One is destroyed now and the other still deadstock.

Might cop 2 pairs of the aquas this time around. My 07 pair started separating this month. Wore them probably 100+ times lol
 
I walked in ruvilla today in got a gurranted ticket lady asked for my name in my size and my # & i had my state id with me so i was all good Just cant wait until release day

The only reason I noticed you, was because you were literally the next post....

And then, you replied not even ten minutes later on my tip like a b*****.

What makes it even worse is that, you're all excited that I acknowledged you...

Like only a b**** would do...

I told y'all before, I post this way on every board that I'm apart of...

I don't do it for likes, and I d*** sure don't do it for a** clowns like yourself to acknowledge me.

I could care less if you, or anyone else likes me or not.

So you can kill all the sarcasm, and the b******
 
Asked in store at the only spot I dropped a raffle ticket at and got 2 different answers. One guy says they already called but had some for FCFS, other said they're calling sometime next week but didn't know when. :smh: Also, the Champs at the same mall was supposed to do guaranteed tix Mon but changed it to raffle this wknd. Just want A pair..

Locked 1 in, but was trying to get a pair to ice.
Called 1 of the spots I raffled at ,& they told me they already made the calls ,but they still have a fsr for fcfs. I said hows that ,when I didnt get a call, raffle entries should take priority. Instead theyre holding pairs hostage to stir up some hype come black friday.

I go out after the hype dies down early am on wack friday.
Call me paranoid, but with all the refugees fresh in, and mass amounts of threats getting dished from false akbar all stars, I really think theres a strong chance some wildness pops off.
If not Macy ThxGiving parade , black friday masses out for deals,& all huddled in bunches ,could be easy marks for them ..

-Be Safe
