Air Jordan 6 "Hornets" To Release All-Star Weekend

I don't even think the jacked up price matters to be honest. A lot of the beasts ran to the other brand, leaving us to eat well.
You see em pop in here when they start bragging about how comfy their boosts are compared to retros :lol:

What was the problem with JB though, was it lack of quality releases or the price increases?

I feel like some diehard Kanye fans might've left Nike/JB but it seems silly that others would just stop wearing JB like that.

This was an interesting article written August of last year that I found:
http://www.highsnobiety.com/2016/08/02/retro-jordans-price-hype/

In a nutshell: It just comes down to hype, supply, and demand. JB did too good of a job weeding out resellers by increasing prices and quantity. In a way the Hypebeast is a double-edged sword.
 
Damn, these came out to $180 with the 20% (off $225) at EB literally Sunday night.

Now with this new "sale price" at $189 across the board, coupon code "doesn't apply to discounted items." Gee tee eff oh...

I explained the problem in my post my man.

This! And I don't mind a bit. Haven't bought J's in a minute, but if my guy can come through with 30% off this 190, it'll be a toss up between the obsidian 15, Alternate 6's, or these. Don't wanna go HAM just cuz so like Indiana Jones I must "choose wisely".

I'm hoping they sit a bit longer. Trying to give myself a shoe budget. Will grab from the connect if they are around next week tho.
15s don't look good on my feet so I'll only grab for the dumb low. Alternate 6s are clean but I'd only buy for the low.

After thinking about pickups most of the day today...I am exactly in this place as well, except how 15's look on me lol. Vulcan Mind Meld
 
If you all are looking for NDC promo codes, hit up nikepromocodes on IG. He has 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% codes for sale. Totally legit. I bought pair of Alternate 8s off NDC using a 25% promo code from him. Just a heads up for anyone looking for a discount.

Just packed up the return to Ndc for these. Saved almost 70 bucks off retail buying again.
 
This.

I'm low key hoping JB jack up the price and mass produce them for every retro now, so nobody buys and these sit on shelfs and we can get them in a deep discount.

I haven't bought a pair of Js at retail for so long, it feels good

folks tired of the same ole same ole....they will get tired of adidas too if the same kicks keep releasing over and over.  Gotta wait for the next generation to give a damn about j's so they can sell off nostalgia....only folks i know that still buy j's are collectors.
 
v2oak v2oak No problems here and I didnt mean to offend you. I posted because folks here asking for discos. Then you posted like; why I couldn't get them for the same price you did. Like you said everyone posts there savings when purchasing kicks. No worries....
 
I don't see the black 6s on ndc or niketowns so I'm thinking they'll be in outlets soon. same will happen to these likely.

Saw these at the outlets during f&f weekend
Was gonna grab them but didn't have my size
It was only on display so not sure how many pairs they had
These will def be hitting the outlets imo
 
What I'm saying is while they sit in warehouses after production, they're being backdoored just like any other commodity. I'm going to leave it at that. Peace.


we heard that "theory" before from your brother ninjahood


and if it were the case....why are there differences between UA and retail pairs.........?


the insole jumpman logo magically changes colors?
(jordan xi nightshade)
stitching undoes itself and moves?

if they were "backdoored out the warehouse" they would be EXACTLY the same

it isn't a theory, verified documented cases happened with other brands (Ewing's come to mind)

I digress though.

To be fair, Yeezys are turning into the new Js. Kids who are teenagers now will go crazy for Yeezy retros in 10-15 years.

I think retro J's have become a streetwear staple (at least I-XIV) so I can't see them totally dying in popularity, even after MJ and all the people that saw him play (us) are long dead. The same thing has happened with Chuck Taylors... The dude died long ago but All-Stars are the most popular sneaker model on the market.

display usually doesn't indicate a fsr but they'll probably pop up
 
FNL online has these for 189 right now and with a $15 off 150, code RMN15OFF150 comes out to 181-ish (pre-tax).

Hey all what is the consensus on the sizing for these?

I wear a size 9/9.5 AJ1s
 
True to size. Previous recent retro 6s seem to run a tad big but these were perfect for me.
