I called Swoosh CS and paid retail and they are reimbursing me the difference when management comes in. Swoosh site is messed up.

Finishline.com sold out but for a size 14. In addition ruvilla.com didn't have my size 12. Ended up ordering on snkrs.

After trying them on and lacing them up, I realized they used the cheapest laces imaginable and theyre nothing like the standard thin stringy laces that IX's come with.
These are much thicker and fuzzier. Very disappointing.

Sorry, not sure what you're trying to say. I have no idea how those blue XIIs did.
I'm saying there was a time not too long ago (7-9 years ago maybe?) when it seemed like monthly releases (sometimes more) were always sold out. Adidas hype isn't imaginary but there may be other reasons why Jordans are easier to cop now. (Except OG 1's, which I should add weren't always this desireable.) This is a great thing. I honestly can't remember seeing Jordan retros sitting in stores until recently, much less going on sale. I wouldn't know if JB releases are coming more frequently, but I believe you if you say so.
Having said all that, I'm just seeing now that these purple/blue IXs are sold out in my size almost everywhere. JB is still king!

I'm trying to recall. Has JB ever used the liking of past athletes on retros?

I just knew these were going to be more limited than they are when they first anounced these earlier this year. I was going to pass due to an unexpected ticket, plus all these other kicks this month (3's, 1's) so I didn't even try to reserve them. Okay, so I went to the mall on break, saw them and I had a $20 coupon..., no brainer.

^^ Nah I know the're not but you would think they would have been with Kobe retiring and these being one of the dopest PE Jordan's ever and no one having a chance to get those AJ 3+8 packs from earlier in the year. Even CP3's AJ 13 PE's seem more limited than these but I'm not complaining. Let everyone eat on the good stuff now and then!!!

FSR at my local malls. Went to check them out. All I can say is I'll maybe cop on discount.
At least the patent leather looked and felt decent.

Bro, chris paul beeing sign with JB and his 13 is exactly been treated as exact to his PE n released to the general public. Kobe is differ. JB put out two versions for his IXs...this GR one is slightly twisted with the purple and used tour yellow instead of gold or lakers yellow. I m still happy with the release tho. Similar thing happens with kobe's last released flight huarache. Theres a yellow stripe added on the tongue which differ from the one he rocked.

Got my confirmation right away on these. Easiest online purchase I've had in quite some time. I guess there wasn't nearly as much hype on these compared to a lot of the recent releases.

The 12s overall are one of the most hyped models. I didn't expect these to move quicker the blue 12 from last week or 2 weeks ago. I'm surprised they sold out for the most part online. The 9 is usually one of the models that sit the most...look at the lows for instance. I'm looking forward to getting my pair in. If I can get them cheaper within the next 60 days even better.

I agree with you. The IXs are one of the weakest jordans to sell out. I like the Lows too~ All the lows Colorway here are somewhat like 40% and I still havent pick up the bright mango colorway yet~ Just way too many releases now......pocket running low after a pair of Ultraboost and the Kobe Jordan IX. Hopefully, they will sit till next month. haha
