The Official Jordan XXXI Thread

i just wanna know what fine print means lol (other than the literal sense)

Curious if it's some sort of wordplay on the fine he had to pay for playing in what is now known as the 'banned' Jordan 1. So rather than 'fine print' as we understand it, the fine print being related to something on the shoe specific to the fine. Just total guess here.

USAs are $185 or $200 as it was at the Golden Air event in SF last month?

 

[shaw333]

So no USA on snkr/Nike tomorrow?

 

[thapointguy]

No. FTL in-store

 

[rcole757]

Well, the FTL here in Pensacola isn't getting them. Surprise, surprise...

 

[shaw333]

i'm really surprised ppl are feeling these. i personally think they're terrible. 2k9s, 2010s, 2011s and 2012s were much better imo. at least they somewhat looked the part of a signature jordan. as opposed to jordan hyperdunks. i can't foresee myself buying this shoe for any reason.

Everyone has a different taste.
While some models have a wider range of fanbase, there are also models which are much appreciated by certain individuals.

To me, the 2012 are underated Air Jordans from a design perspective.
28 and 29 belong to my favorites even when I wear them casually.
30 I skipped because I simply could not overlook the fact that they completely reused the 29 sole while
the toe cap didnt make them appealing much and the XXX at the heel isnt too. The upper looks super wrinkled.

The 31 look quite conventional in shape like the 2011 did. They look cool on the feet and I'm really looking forward to get some.

Anyone in the USA got their pairs from retail stores?

I guess j23 was wrong about Jordan.com releasing USA today

 

[munchy]

Exclucity (local shop, ships in Canada only) released them today:

http://shop.exclucitylife.com/products/air-jordan-xxxi?variant=23172681153

Pretty much sold out though.

EDIT: In store as well, Downtown Montreal and Toronto.

Footlocker.com (USA) says different though. They listed the AJ xxx1 USA and Rio for August 10 as "store only" items.

 

[PKilroy5]

Just picked up my pair from a local footlocker House of Hoops. If you're on the fence, I say go cop them ASAP!!! These are well worth the $185 price tag, they are a QS though so my HoH didn't let me use my military discount... Sucks but they are still nice! BTW, I went TTs and they fit great with just a little wiggle room for the toes.

 

[PKilroy5]

Also, per my HoH employee, the Rios got pushed back to Friday.

 

[munchy]

Oneness has both the USA and Rio in store only.

 

[si3n4]

Just want to get the USAs or Rios. Would prefer to get them from NDC. Local HOH may release the USAs today. Hopefully I don't strike out.

 

[toneloc2002]

Super nice! Couldn't use discount since they are a QS View media item 2128718

I would grab them, they only had 2 pairs of size 12s at my HoH but I was the only person there.

I'm hoping for an NDC release between now and the 16th so I can use my coupon
