Official OVO x JB Thread

Just spoke with my connect/HOH manager and he said these are not on the manifest (list that shows upcoming releases).
 
 In my case, I'm willing to pay resell for certain shoes that are at the top of the hobby I've been fully invested in for the last 14 years.
 
FINALLY SOMEBODY SHARES MY VIEW!!!

Mofos out here talm' bout finer things in life.

You got to be #%&@-in' me. They SHOES!!! If you can cop for retail..... Cool. If not? That's cool too. Something else will release. Let them resellers sit on their stock. Or lose money trying to flip wondering why those FINER THINGS can't turn a profit. When this happens, OVOs & any other shoe will be available to those that actually want to "wear" the shoe. I'm just saying...
No way did you guys actually think I was referring to piece of crap Jordan's as actually being one of the "finer" things in life. You knuckleheads overlooked my entire analogy. My point is in this HOBBY OF SHOE COLLECTING, I AM FULLY INVESTED! If I want the top of the line things IN MY HOBBY THAT I AM FULLY INVESTED IN, I PERSONALLY AM PREPARED TO PAY A PREMIUM. I'm a shoe COLLECTOR, chances are you guys are just "sneaker heads". There's a huge difference so I'm not expecting you guys to understand what's going on here. When you become invested in something, you do things that others may not understand. I know a guy that sunk $50,000 into an old school car. The car is now rotting away in his garage where it's been for 4 years. At that time of building he was fully invested in that project so he had no problem paying those prices. I know a guy who spends thousands of dollars on old money. Dude paid like $2500 for an old $500 bill. My coworker collects old Lego models. He spent $1400 on some old Lego rocket that's still in the box. I don't question what they do with their money because that's their hobby that they are FULLY INVESTED IN. Again, "sneaker heads" don't understand the mentality of an actual shoe collector so you all have passes. Do y'all know the worth of DependableJay's collection? $1,000,000+. If he were to break his collection apart, do you think his shoes would sell for cheap? Of course not. True collectors understand the value of his shoes and are willing to pay TOP DOLLAR TO ADD THESE UNIQUE PIECES TO THEIR OWN COLLECTIONS THAT THEY ARE FULLY INVESTED IN! If you want the best, there's a premium to pay.

Last but not least, y'all aren't exactly talking to someone "hurting" for money. I am in no way a "baller" but I do have the means to get these nicer shoes that I speak of and pay that premium. Exhibit A is me and my $1350 Bibby XII PE's I wore a couple weeks ago. Not my most expenisve shoe either...

but for the most part a JB collab doesnot release in the quantities and locations of other jordans...
 
Just an idea of the crap I go through. Dude hits me up because he's interested. I shoot him a price that he likes so he asks for tagged pics.





Another one bites the dust SMFH. Flakers are at an all time high SMFH. A bunch of broke individuals who wanna be down but don't have the means to participate...
peopleare stupid af like atl east respond, this happens to me a couple times a week too
 
couple times a week is an understatement... ive started typing like memphisfinest under my listings asking flakers to keep their bs to themselves ahead of time :lol:

or even worse, when your vending at a sneakershow and someone walks up and starts negotiating and talking about the price of one of my shoes than at the end of it says thanks im just trying to see what i should price my pair at. Or I'll think about it or yeah let me go get my wallet and you never see them again.

I can beat that... going back & forth on a price only to agree on a #, get pp info, send the invoice & then , then they COMPLETELY stop communication :stoneface:

Just trying to get a baseline to figure out what will happen with OVOs imo I dont think too many more will be released. Its just like any release those who got wanna sell and those who dont wish for a rerelease.... But no retailers are saying anything and stores have no shipments in stock ... I hope Oct 3 comes and goes and nothing gets dropped, not because I got a pair but because I like seeing people get butt hurt over stuff that does not even matter.,

Copped online, went to mall after to get some shirts, ftl had pairs and dtlr had I beleive 2 size runs
I wouldn't consider 2 size runs a huge release, and also, the demand was not as high as these.
Chicago 1s was a "huge" release compared to slam dunks
