As of right now these and the "Flu Game" XII's are the only retros I'm planning to get.
Will have to see what Black Friday and the holiday XI are.

There isn't much to say about them until they release more photos, we already know for a fact they're releasing.
We will probably see photos May or June.

Chill out airsak I wasn't coming back in this thread lol jk I forgot these was on my list man the collection will be growing on the 13th hopefully it's hard to find time to wear all these shoes we only have two feet then I hear guys talking about doubling tripling I never wear the same shoe two days in a row and I got kicks from 5 yrs ago that still look fresh. I'll take these 5s tho I won't complain they'll be next to my black supreme joints [emoji]128533[/emoji] I just do it cuz I got it.. One day this will all stop cuz after 2016 I can't see them dropping anymore grails I need. I mean between bred 12s, bred 1s, space Jams (that I had before but a dirtbag stole them) and these metallic 5s. I quit lol [emoji]128173[/emoji]

Hopefully I will have one more shoe on the 13th as well. A majority of NT'rs like to purchase three and four pairs of the same sneaker (for various reason) and I don't understand why either but that's them. I have a small collection myself and I keep my shoes clean with standard soap and water and a suede/nubuck eraser with brush. To keep my shoes looking decent (with creases) I just put the shoe inserts back in when I put them up. How I see it the people who purchase numerous pairs of the same shoe:
A. Don't know how to keep their shoes clean/in good condition
B. Use for trade bait (which is contradicting because the money they used to purchase multiple pairs of the same shoe could be used to purchase the shoes they wanted to trade for).
C. Just to brag they have more than others
I still need a lot of shoes myself so I'm far from retiring from the hobby, I still need:
1. Black and Red 1s
2. Concord 11s
3. Fire Red 5s (3M Tongue)
4. Cement 3s
5. Grape 5s
6. Black Metallic 5s
7. Black Infrared 6s
8. Black and Red 12s
9. White and Red 12s
10. He Got Game 13s
11. Black Concord/Space Jam 11s
12. White and Red 13s
12. Black and Red 13s
13. Black, Cement Grey, and Red 4s
The shoe I would secure first (excluding the ones that are releasing this year) are the Fire Red 5s (3M Tongue)
I hope you're able to secure a pair of Space Jam 11s when JB decides to release them again

Yo airsak real talk those are all on my hitlist also. I'll be done once I get those. Bred 12 13s and grape 5 are the top ones for me. We picked a good time to collect we bound 2 get nike air and better quality than past few years

I know it's a long list, at least some of the ones that are on the list are releasing this year. Also I see what you did there, I'm going to be the very best (collector) like no one ever was.
Well it depends on how JB excuses the releases with Nike Air and such. Great thing that the Black and Red 12s are releasing so we can both cross them off our list.

While I highly doubt a re-release of the Bel Air 5s, it's good to stay optimistic. I was always into sneakers and you to have a lot of Jordans growing up. When I got older I wanted the shoes but never had the money. Also I started wearing a size 12 in 2014.

You're welcome my friend and I envy you on having the Concords, I was a Junior in high school when those released (my mother wanted me to focus on my studies: NHS, BC, Honor graduate, Yearbook Club, and number 29 in my class) so no job. 2013 I bought the Phoenix Suns 8s and didn't focus on the 5s. White and Red 13s are my second favorite 13, the first being the He Got Game 13s and third the Black and Red 13s. Black Infrareds are nice but people want to much for them, I can secure them for $279 on SS. Thank you, I just love those colorways the most.

What is it with the grapes or the concords? I just dont see it, and don't tell me about their significance to MJ eether i already know that.plus most people iknow young and old could care less about their signif to MJ and still will kill over the grapes and concords.

I like the Grape 5s because of the design and unique colorway and:
As for the Concords they're just a beautiful nice and simple colorway. The season 72-10 and Jordan getting fined for wearing them. I can't wait until they re-release, I will pay resale if I have to.

I rarely double up, and believe me I keep my shoes looking DS (I take good care of all of my belongings.)
For my absolute favorite Jordans (Chicago 1's, White Cement 3's / 4's etc) I really really like having a fresh pair in the closet, knowing that if something horrible happens, IE I scrape my foot against a jagged piece of metal, or something terrible like that, that I will have a brand new pair that I can start wearing. It happens, I have some Jordan 1's that the tread has almost completely worn down, and in another year or so I will have to retire, but not to worry I have a fresh pair ready to go when that day comes.
I don't double up often, but the fact that we can't just walk into foot locker and pick up a pair of Chicago 1's off the shelf (believe me I wish we could) makes me want to have a double of my absolute favorite shoes of all time.
You excited for the WC 4's bro? Let's get em!!!

It's trade bait for shoes that have released in the past, not the future. It's less money for you to front by paying retail and trading for a previous release that's on resell levels.
I do this. Traded Supreme 5's for Concords yesterday. I don't give a **** about Supreme hype. I spent $208 versus spending $350+.
