Air Jordan 17+ Retro "Copper" - The Aftermath - NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING

Footlocker on 34th and 5th still got them, did a little window shopping during my break lol. They def. are nice looking shoes but Iike what everyone's been saying, price is crazy
 

Wth?!?! And mine took a long time to even ship. People quitting at the Nike dispatch centers.

Yea it's a pretty odd situation but expected from what I've been seeing lately.
I mean, they are really delaying by 2 weeks :stoneface:

You'd think they'd toss you something for the troubles. If you can't find local, I'd wait it out. Worth it imo, and I rarely pay full on Jordans.

Def need to re-release the black/silver 17s instead of these and $250 they def tripping.

All XVII's, aside from lows, were $200 in '02. I don't see why everyone is up at arms these are 250, but willing to pay $250 for other XVII's.

lol this. 17s were always expensive.
 
Got mine in today, I went true to size. They ran a little snug to me so I wore em to break em in and it helped. Putting them on is a little hassle. I can def see why my college blues and white and reds leather chipped at the top of the heel. Wore em to the city and got a lot of love, ppl actually walked up and had convos. I don't normally get that with 1-13 unless their limited or a crazy color. The leather help up pretty good but I usually stuff my shoe while I wear em. Walked from 42nd and 7th to 34th and Broadway and no creasing for me. Def happy with my purchase.View media item 1993302 this pic is from after all the walking I did plus the cardboard I use while I wear all my jordans. I'm used to wearing it and I've gotten good with manipulating it to have more of a custom fit if i add a perfectly cut plastic bag. Might be uncomfortable for some it you don't do it correctly but, I rarely to never get toebox creases.

^^^ Those look good. I initially passed on these cuz I couldnt see in hand or try on prior to buying. Glad Sheikh just had em sitting, so I got see before purchase. Love the change of croc print on the heel.

airthompson airthompson - man they are always stingy with me with codes. Haven't gotten one in years :lol:

You gotta exaggerate, and make sure they notice how disgruntled you are. Always works for me. :pimp: In you're case I'd be pissed. You tell me hang tight, and not even offer anything for the discrepancy? Foul!
 
I was looking at your post days ago thinking to myself, what the hell are you talking bout reverse jumpmen? Anyhow Copper are, and still are flames. Loved the coverless option. Still love the Og blue and white pair. Sold mines years ago cuz they were .5 too small.
That was me when the Blk/Red 13s and the Charcoal 7s dropped in 2012/13. Older retros hold up pretty damn well.
The jumpman by the air pocket on the midsole.

Yeah not a big deal. Reverse Jumpmen are the least of my worries on Jordans. I just want the model done right, subtle chances like that arent srs. These however are accurate with the 02s. One jumpman in and one out.

:lol: they shipped them so I guess I'm good then
 
Quick overview. Mine came in today (shipped to work) from Nike. Popped them on real quick just a little bit ago, to check sizing. I'm a true 11 and I have this thing that I have to be able to wiggle my toes in my shoes or it bugs the heck of of me (and my toes go to sleep). These fit perfectly TTS for me (I know everyone is different). I have normal/slightly narrow feet so these feel good.

I wasn't going to keep them if they didn't fit normally or without the insole (would return to a local Factory Store), but after trying them on, and they fit and look good, these are staying. I'll post pics up in the morning. Overall, very happy with them & glad I entered the drawing and got picked!

I see the Jumpman as a directional logo like the Swoosh. 

Like, for instance, how would you feel if they took the Jordan 1 and stitched the Swoosh on backwards. Its the same thing to me.

The 17s were like this originally I know, but I can't get past the 11s. I don't care what mold they make them from.
