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

Here in Australia **** got changed around.

Usually Footlocker open at 8am and then you wait to hear if raffle gets called out for you and you line up and choose your size in order your ticket got called. 299 Asian dudes standing around on a saturday morning and 1 white guy, hoping name gets called.
Name gets called and you choose your size when your turn at counter. Little asian dudes walking out with size 16 black metallics. Me walking out with size 7 wanting 11's.

Meanwhile, what usually happens and not alot here know but Nike AU website starts selling till they are sold out. 

Nike changed **** up yesterday. They did a global drop. So same time USA starts selling the black metallics, Nike is also starting in Australia.
On PC waiting for size 11;s to get into cart and 15 minutes later i open phone and try for 10.5 just incase i dont get 11's.

The mobile phone carts and checkouts the 10.5's within 3 minutes and 26 minutes later i cart and check out the 11's.

Nobody here use to Nike dropping at midnight 16 hours after footlocker dropped them in store.

As I hate resellers I managed to sell my 10.5's at retail price to some dude who was screaming for them. Now taking the 7's back for refund tomorrow. 

Was crazy watching all the resellers buy from footlocker raffle and then straight away advertise for $500 not knowing that Nike was dropping online in Australia at midnight a big general release. Everyone got to eat. Resellers got spanked.

The Nike Air logo truley makes these. Now my old BM's can become beaters.

Dunk from above 4's sat in Australia for a month or so on shelves and I love them but now hoping someone will swap my old DS B

In 1990, I didn't care. My parents were forking out the money. And you know I had my black metallic pair on deck for the 8th grade :lol:
This. LOL. Sounds like we're the same age. I had a tough time getting Jordans back then too. Small town, only a Hibbets and JCPenney
 
Did anybody get any bad pairs of shoes? Like uneven sticking or anything like that. My toe box also has a butt crack
 
resellers are hurting. Alp where are you?

I wonder how does the people who have the og metallic vs feel now that these came back. (not so special anymore)
 
i never done that - i just replace the insoles

cause if you ever want to take the tape off, it might rip the logo - and a taped logo doesn't look fresh like a normal untaped logo - imo - it looks altered


but do u pleighboi :nthat:

Yeah should have just took insoles out of another pair of 5s that tape ruins it more you will wear a hole in that tape from wearing them and sock lint and dirt will be stuck all around the edges of the tape and it will start to lift up it will look terrible and if you try take it off now it will probably mess up the nike print

On ebay not one pair of these have sold I'm really liking this and the ones listed you have to bid and the bids are up to only $147.00 but they probably have a reserve on it anyway this is good news to me.
 
Grabbed a pair for a friend yesterday on NDC, loved how quick and easy it was (Eastbay on the other hand had me in line for 20 minutes so I bailed). On the fence personally. Size 12 still available today on FNL so I was about to use my $20 reward and "secure" them but I can't get with that shipping charge. Can't do it...
 
Feeling pretty confident in picking these up in mid-September @ retail in some shape, form, or fashion. Maybe even a little over but I'd be cool with it.

I just gotta see what this black/red 1 drop is going to be like. That's where I'm placing all my chips right now. When that release is out of the way I'll circle back around to these.
 
Man, the adrenaline of watching that count down hit the last minute on the nike website is real. Never had a countdown here before.

This is what I live for!! Every release feels like New Years Eve!! Adding to Cart at the strike of 00:00.... Oh what a feeling. :nthat: :smokin

Not at all. It's not like I can actually wear the OGs anymore; mine have been retired for years. I'm juiced that I can wear these in OG style again. And happy that pretty much everyone that wanted these were able to get them without paying resell. Saw some people in SoCal asking $280-300 yesterday and was like :lol:. These don't seem to be sitting in abundance in my area, but should still be easy enough to find at retail.
 
My only problem with resellers is the fact that they buy all of the stock in store and online which makes everyone pay their prices instead of Nike's which is insane. I don't see how anyone can be okay with this. I'm glad resellers have been losing with Jordan releases.
