Nike Air Jordan Retro Metallic V - 7/23/16

FULL size run still on Nike.com.  These definitely outlet bound.   Wonder how much these will hit for once they get to outlets ?   Did Maroons or WC4's ever make it to nike outlets ?

They don't send them to the outlets until they have one or two sizes left on the site is what a sales representative said.
 
Thank you for responding to my question with an in depth perspective. I guess i want 3 because i would want to save the 1st 2 pairs and keep them on ice for at least 3 or 4 years. and ware the 3rd pair without worrying about the ware on the shoe. These were restored when i was about 10 or 11 years old and want to ware them out. Plus, they will go well with my raider jerseys(huge raider fan). Im going to go to the  mall and see if the guy still has them for me. I'll update you guys later today. No making fun of me  lol repped pw for your response.

I think much if this has to do with the $220 price tag, and over-saturation of retros being released. As I mentioned above, they're still going to bank when retros hit clearance. Now they're just raking in that extra reseller money.

Yep, push the resellers out and get that margin, plus push to the outlets at a 'discounted' price of say $139.99-$179.99 which was roughly the old retail
 
You sold me man. I rarely wear my pairs maybe 2-3 times a year. That's why I never thought of using any of those crease defenders. But I think I will start to invest in some so I can get my kicks in my rotation more. Will I still have comfort with the force fields if I went TTS with these 5s?

I can vouch for the force fields comfort. It might take some getting used to but after a while you won't even notice them there. They have done a great job in preserving all of my 3-6s. They will eventually crease but it will be slowed down dramatically. Worth every penny.
 
I hope other big releases are this easy, but I think this just wasn't as sought after.

This happened with the 2011 WC3s and it happened with the Aqua VIIIs last year. They will definitely be very sought after heavily when they're no longer around in such quantities. I hope this keeps happening for all of my favorite shoes.
 
Got mine yesterday and opened them up today. Had contemplated returning them but I just can't do it. :pimp: :pimp:

I can't believe it. I could've saved myself the trouble going to the mall last Saturday morning and protected by NDCs return policies if needed. My boxes were perfect but if I had received messed up boxes I would return them to the store and order from Nike. Everything I've received from NDC has been in perfect condition.
 
I haven't been to Woodbury Commons in a while. Does anyone know what releases have been available over there in the past 2 years besides the usual 28-29s that usually always end up there like all the new signature releases?

If it's possible these will hit the outlets than I might just buy from NDC, return both my pairs to FNL and FTL and try to score outlet pairs down the road. Always down to save cash no matter how much I save.

Of course.  JB has lost their minds charging $220 for these.  After tax in my location that equals $230.

   Being an older guy I just don't see spending that kind of coin on a shoe that cost $125 when I was a kid.  Negative Red Leader!
 
These won't be outlet bound. They will be pulled from the site here in a week or two. Only to pop up on a "restock" after a couple months like the iv's did. Because it's a "restock" they will sell through the remaining stock.
 
If these ever happen to hit the outlets, the price will be around 215.99 or something like that. True O.G.  Retros, never really price mark below $5 - $10 now-a-days.
 
I managed to score two pairs for $136.56/each after using free gift cards and promo codes. I really hope Black/Red I's, and True Blue III's will be this easy to pickup. As for the Space Jam XI's, I have no hope for those being an easy cop, unless Nike produces a million pairs.
