Jordan x KAWS 4 Black “Cyber Monday” 11/27/17 release thread

Yup I put an order for $3000 but took it down because joints were looking impossible to get, would hate to sell a shoe and have to refund something like that cuz I can't get the shoe :lol:

They had pre-orders for $1.2K then they upped it to $1.5K then $2K. In all honesty, they might've offed mine to the $1.5-$2K customers honestly. Whatever the case, I still don't hold anything against them...

Welp, I got played, sorta SMH. I got tipped off to a site doing pre-orders back on March 17. Thirsty, I went on ahead and bought the shoes for $1220. I never heard of the site but they were really good with communication and were actually recommended to me by a NTer. Speaking with one of the owners made me feel comfortable. Long story short, I do NOT have the shoes. The website apparently lost their backdoor connect meaning I got squat. I have no ill will towards the site as they have done their best to get the shoes for me. I now have to move on and try and locate a size 12 myself for a good price. I...am...salty...

I think that happened to a lot of folks, same for me also. Paid $1250 and the guy raised the price, I asked for a refund

Yeah probably. Luckily I'm a pessimist and didn't expect them to come through anyway. So I was pissed but saw it coming
 
yeah thats why most times I don't do pre-orders because either of 2 things can happen:

1. you preorder on a low price and after release date, the price shoots up and the seller realizes how much more money they can get so they make up a BS story about how they couldn't get it and refund you and then end up selling for more to another seller. Kicks-crew.com is known for this. I've fell to 1 or 2 preorders like this in the past. Paid for preorders on Supreme 5's at $350, got refunded and the seller listed them back up at $550.

2. you preorder at whatever price, and then after release date, the price drops drastically and you ended up spending a lot more than you would have if you had just waited after release date to cop from resellers or something. Now you're filled with regret. This story happened to me with the DSM 1's. Paid $500 something I think, and now you can't even sell them for retail at $200.

Yea, I actually keep my word when I do a preorder so even if it goes up I still sell at the agreed upon price but most don't do that

thats good. not worth messing up your rep and potentially more business for you in the long run.
 
oh a side note, anybody know someone who dose custom clear shoe boxes with like laser etched logos and even size labels? i use to know someone but that was probably 2-3 years ago and dont think they do it anymore.. even remember someone doing it with custom LED lights on the bottom for display purposes

Sounds like a one-sided option since there's no contractual penalties behind it.
 
PJ Tucker is making 3.7mm this year. If you make $100k a year, he makes 37x times. Even if he paid $1500 resale for these, $1500 / 37 = $40. Him wearing those is like someone that makes $100k a year wearing a $40 pair of beaters to the rec.

his tax + agent fee is like 50% compared around 30ish% for the 100k tho
 
Kinda surprised anyone could ball in these or any Jordan 4's for that matter... they are like bricks for my dainty feet... guess those guys in the NBA have strong enough feet though to play in a semi heavy shoe, I guess one Reason to watch regular season NBA is just to see what guys are ballin in

They play barely 48 real life minutes

It's not like us playing a few pick up games one after another for an hour or two

Plus they used custom insoles hence why a lot of times If you see a player game used shoes for sale, it won't have insoles
 
I figured the players had custom insoles but for a heavy shoe like an air more uptempo or Jordan retro id figure they could help only so much and it be a struggle to play in even with low minutes ... Kd 9, kyrie 2, or Jordan 31 for me right now... About to try out some Kobe 11 ids and the PG's and see how they feel on court... Kinda would be fun to play some pick up ball at the ymca in some cement 4's tho...
 
New insoles or not, its no way I'm ballin in a pair of lifestyle retros or whatever you want to call it.

That's his way of bringin light to himself because he's not really a star in the league....ala what Nick Young, Nate Robinson, Gilbert Arenas (Even though he was killin at the time) did.
