OG Nike Air Jordan III Retro True Blue BLACK FRIDAY '16

QfT!
You hit it right on the nail... (Well, except the last sentence.) :tongue:

:rofl:

Yea I know....just trying to start something....

This culture simply wants what they cant have, I can almost guarantee in the next 5 to 10 years if Sneakers or Retros are still cooll....dudes will be clamoring for the Jumpman (Insert whatever reason you want)..

Just like the YEARS of NEEDING the NIke Air on the back.....

Now JB does it....and they STILL ***** and Complain.....

Again...

Drop these too $150 I can almost guarantee all that complaining stops.

Agreed.
The price point definitely is the straw. All the complaints people have mentioned is nothing new. I don't recall this many complaints when they dropped in 2011. But then again, at 150.... the "quality" pill was easier to swallow. At 240.... folks will complain because why??....

This hobby is not for the faint of heart...(or wallet.)

serious question: when did buying sneakers become a culture? i always wondered when folk started saying that...lol

i never thought of it as a culture, i just like fresh kicks with my fits...no doubles, collecting and all that jazz.....just rocking fresh kicks because you like them and can rock em well, not for stories or because someone else did something in them...but then again im 36, so i can remember when it wasn't this serious....now if i was in it for money i would care about the stories and when mj wore what, and nike air on back/jumpman.

Its defined as a culture simply because not everyone is into sneakers like we are into sneakers.....

Im not sure how else you can label or define a sub-set that is just into something a little more then your average person....

Im 40...been doing this almost 2.5 decades now....

Im sitting on 2000+ pairs....

I still do line ups (when there isnt some BS raffle)

Still lurk on NT (occasionally jump out but NT aint what it used to be)

And still and will always LOVE sneakers (Nothing like opening that box when you get home or lacing a new pair for the first time)...

Your average beer drinking, chicken wing eating, Monday night football watching....goes hunting on a Saturday cat doesnt understand WHY you need more then 1 white pair and maybe 1 black pair of sneakers.....

And they will never understand.....

But thats why they are not part of this culture.
 
A lot of crying these days about quality...and too many remember when war story's...

Here is the cold hard truth...

Dudes is *****ing about the price...plan and simple...

If these wasn't $220 and was $125 maybe even $150...my local outlet wouldn't have a FSR of returns sitting on the shelves...

Price, availability, and reproduction (damn let the last retro breathe a little) is what's causing the complaining....

Don't let dudes confuse the conversation by blaming it on the fact the there should be 248 elephant print stripes and there pair only has 246 so they returned them...

When these eventually get marked down they will fly off the shelves...as they should

Someone wake me up when they start putting Jumpmans on the back again

The quality should be worth $220. Simple as that. Your argument is mute

Drop these to $150 and I still wouldn't cop. This shoe is the biggest piece of trash and bust of the year. It is straight up bootleg. JB should be ashamed of themselves for releasing this to the public. Put this up to an OG as far as quality, shape, etc. and you'd understand. I'd cop the Cyber Monday 3 for $150 before this Payless edition. At least the Cyber Monday 3 has good leather. The 2016 True Blue is a joke.

Crazy the amount of hate for the shoes... compared to the negative comments on this thread my tb came out perfect. No glue stains, stitching issue or paint issues. Definitely going to bring out the high quality camera and take some pictures. Comparing these to my mr v1 the tb 16 is far superior. I have more issues with my yeezys than my tb and those have less details.

more remember when war stories...

Stop it fam...

Drop the retail to $150 put Nike Air on the back and trust me all the tears would stop...

Let's talk facts....do you even know what sort of leather Nike uses as compared to the "OG"?

Nike Air on the back doesn't equal materials, just letters

Have you ever seen the actual mold (not the production model) as compared to the retro mold??

Cats like you kill me...

If it's such a TRASH shoe..just buy the OG...I'm sure they are available on the bay or flight...

BUT...

Cats like you want to buy a Benz but pay Honda money for it...

Im cool with a Honda...at Honda prices...

But if I want the luxury of the Benz I'm prepared to pay for that too...

Can't have it both ways
