That illusion does nothing for their yearly sales numbers. I suppose they could repost a FSR, and claim it's a "restock".

That could be true. I didn't want these until later on. I liked them because they had ep on the lace holes and no other 3s have that I think. Def true about the grape 5s. I remember I settled for the grapes in 8th grade because they didn't have any of the other colorways in stock.

I hope if and when they release the BC it would be of better quality.

I hope that "when" is soon lol. And yeah, hopefully they actually resemble brand name shoes next time around.

Hopefully Nike has finally learned their lesson, and quality control will match the Space Jam XI release from here on out. *I know, wishful thinking.*

It might increase sales though, especially short term

My how conditioned we all are
$220 is too high
$190 is just right
For a shoe that costs $0.23 to make
Nike stay winning

Not that it makes these inflated prices anymore justified, but Jordan retros cost anywhere from $16-20+ to produce; that includes materials, labor, overhead, and factory profit.

I hope to God.
They were supposed to put the 3 in the vault and then bring them back remastered. They really jacked that idea up. These in no way are remastered.

I think they are definitely more comfortable than any other 3s. I feel like I could play in these.

Probably could, but probably shouldn't. I finally accepted the fact retros shouldn't be my first choice to hoop in anymore since technology has come quite a ways in the past decade. Roasting someone in a pair of Jordan Retros, primarily XI's or XII's, looks so good, though!

This color really only resonates with the older heads. It may be an OG color but I doubt a majority care for this color.
When it was last retro'D it was just a beater type shoe among my group of friends

nike dumb for pulling them. its christmas time. holiday shoppers were bound to come around them eventually especially after people missed out on the ix and space jams.

They actually pulled quite a few stuff from the website. Included clearances low price stuff
They really sending these to outlet? Could be from the amount of returns and complaints otherwise I see no other reason for this

Check out the videos on YouTube, they're definitely already in outlets. I'm going to check with the Birch Run, MI location to see if they have them so I can swap out the B-grade pair NDC sent.
The Black Friday Aqua VIII's were fully stocked months later for only $140 a pair. You know the Jordan Retro climate has changed drastically when True Blue III's w/Nike Air on the heel get the same treatment. It's probably a combination of many things; knitted runners being trendy, inflated "Remastered Initiative" MSRP, sloppy craftsmanship, the absence of proper quality control, and probably a few other factors I'm forgetting. After all is said and done, Nike is still winning even if these don't sellout at full retail pricing.

I like my pair of TB3's better than I like my pair of SJ XI's. Guess I got lucky with a good pair.

Hey guys, first time in the thread and a first time AJ3 owner. Before I start talking I'd like to say that I'm not very knowledgable in the 3s.
I'm definitely disappointed on how JB executed the 3s. The cyber mondays costed $30 less and had better quality. I'm honestly thinking about this time around JB is taking advantage of all the hypebeasts and the holidays that's around the corner. When I got my TB's mine was fine IMO. I'm looking up a way to loosen up the leather, if I put oils on it or conditioner will that help?

I bet they pulled them because there was so many complaints / returns. Nike does free shipping both ways so if everyone is sending them back that's a lot of cost. Probably shipping them to outlets so they don't have to deal with shipping.
