Its trends , i know yall remember when any retro jordan would sell out.......

Trends will die out over time , But i have never seen anything like this Were all the limited kobes,lbjs, and GR mikes and foamz make so much noise.

Its much tougher now. I'm 36. So I can give you all the old Oscar Robertson stories like Hubie Brown....some of my friends are in their forties and have some good ones too.So back in the day...late 80s early 90s. I lived a block away from a sneaker store in New Haven CT. This mom and pop sold sneakers, clothes, bikes, fixed screen windows, and we played spy hunter when that was the hot game. So Jordan's cost say $110 in the big box stores. We bought them for say $85 all in.So here's the equivalent of what you guys call hype beast moves back then for me. When Jordan's released at that time it was two different colorways a white and black pair, they released on Fridays so we skipped school (that's why they changed it to Saturdays years back). Playoff pairs followed later in the year. Kids would rock the pairs they bought the Monday after release....since we were the neighborhood kids our local store would sell us the pairs early, we paid cash and no receipt, we'd rock them on release day. Well other kids got hip to that and started doing the same. So we raised the ante, copped both the white and black pairs and wore one on each foot!.....Game over! Hang tags got nothing on those old school moves....I may need to find the granddads on this site and start shooting short films....

Was like 11th in line at Footaction, apparently they only had around 10 pairs. I needed a 10.5 or 11 and they were long gone by the time I got in. Ended up with a 8.5 smh...

Just amazes me how quickly things changed. What exactly was it that set off all this hype, the Retro Blue Pros?

And yeah, half the cats who got these don't even know who Penny Hardaway is. The whole thing has turned me off to Foams majorly. All sneakers for that matter.

I dunno. I'll be 25 years old this year. Starting to think I'm getting to old for this %%!%.

I submitted under a minute and were gone. Luckily I was fast enough to get a different size from ndc.

Wasn't too bad.. just not enough pairs to go around.

Footaction got 16 pairs, 40-50 people in line. I was number 12.. got there at 7, they didn't open til 9. Had to get a smaller size, time to trade.

Snagged some few pics. I got to the line at 5 in the morning. Homegirl and I were 24 and 25 in line for the 8 a.m. opening. They let us in 10 at a time. There were a total of about 60 or so people, so I'm pretty sure they sold out. Got my 10.5 and 12 for my brother.
