Air Jordan 13 White/Red To Release Spring 2017

  They (nike/jb) can just keep re releaseing all they want.  My friends ask me sometimes am I worried about the value of my collection.  I say no, because it was never about value in the first place.  I wish theyd chill on the price increases though.  Its never been about hype or breaking necks to me, its about the feeling you get within yourself wearing somthing your truly in to without regard of what anyone says or thinks.  If Jordans became an after thought, Id still be into them just as much as I have always been.
 
Was so excited to grab these, got home opened up the box to take them out and one shoe is damn near perfect and the other shoe is busted. It's got a huge scuff mark almost 2 inches long on the suede on the lateral side of the shoe. The scuff mark makes it look like a pink section in the middle of the red. A ton of glue, black marks, and other nicks in it. I have to go back tomorrow to pick up the 1s anyway so I hope FTL has another pair in my size left.

The right one is bad by chance?

Have seen a few mentions of the right shoe being the one with scuffs.
 
Mass GRs always going to have quality control issues.

I always check 'em out prior buying them. I figure Id rather leave empty handed if need be .
Then to have a pair amougnst my collects that makes me
p!§§3d, everytime I see or even think of 'em.

In this case youre good cause ppl slept, as they have on the majority of retros as of late.

Couldn't have said it better myself, collect for love of Jordans not for love of value/money, shouldnt be about that, otherwise probably collecting for the wrong reasons imo

They seem to be alive and well for me and the people that really care about owning/wearing the shoe and not the hype.

I'll take first come first serve all day, I don't care if I have to buy my retros from a Nike Outlet, I wear/buy what I like - not what 20-somethings deem to he "lit" "cool" "hyped" or "fashionable."

No lie, but while waiting to purchase these, I heard two of these young guys talking about how they are done with Jordans. "The feeling just isn't there anymore, I tired of seeing too many people with the shoes I have on. I'll still go for those OVOs, though." I am so glad "THOSE" people are going over to Adidas and only limited shoes.

The truth in the pudding will be when the Royal OG 1s come out, and "THOSE" people find out that a trillion pairs will be made and everyone in there mommas will have a pair. We'll see how may "I am getting tired of 1s, I am not really looking out for these" we get.
 
As a younger dude who's relatively new to the game compared to most of the Jordan heads, I love seeing all these classic colorways not selling out the second they release. Otherwise I'd have to pay resale on a older pair. If you're in it just for hype and value Jordan still releases the OVO stuff, and of course the yeezy craze is all hype

Guys, make sure you inspect your pairs. There were 2 pairs that I saw today with red marks or dye on them.

There will be a lot of pairs but 1s are always the most limited jordan plus hype on them being that most people struck out and it's been a while since they retroed. Banned 1s were tuff to cop for me so definitely don't expect them to sit. Will be instant sell out for royals

I was incredibly happy with how easy it was to cop a pair of these. For me, its about finally having a chance to buy the kicks that my folks couldnt afford when I was kid. I used to fantasize about the day I'd be able to pick up a pair. Shout out to the folks for pushing my *** and always supporting me; now I can buy what I want without having to worry.
 
My girl picked me a pair up as a gift this morning. They went straight on feet. These are in my top 5 all time and I'm strongly considering picking up another pair off NDC with a code.
 
Had to work today so I waited for these to hit ndc since snkrs don't let you use gift cards or promos. After using my 25% code from my take flight viii's fiasco, Nike $20 promo, and $40 gift card, total balance out of pocket was around $94. Glad a lot of us got to use 25% codes to stack with the $20 gift card. Now let's see if Nike can send me someone else's pair so I can get another promo code!
