Air Jordan 12 “Wings” - April 2, 2016

Went for these and would've been happy to get them. But the wing pattern looks tacky IMO. This might have been discussed, but does the pattern eventually show due to normal wear or does it need to be physically rubbed off? (Phrasing)

If it's like the LM's you have to scrub them off to get the full pattern. I wear all 3 of my LM's a lot and play basketball in them. A little has stripped but not near as much as I thought would.
 
Still says processing on my size 11.  Since the matching shirts on a separate order have already shipped, I am resigned to the increasing likelihood my shoes will get canceled.

Does nike prioritize order fulfillment based on overnight shipping?  I went the mid tier two night route.

Did u mean 2 lance mountains? There is no 3rd LM pair if you are talking about the SB x AJ1 collab. 1st pair are the craig stecyks.

Maybe I'm partially biased because my pair is scheduled to arrive 4/7....but I feel like there's 2 main types of people hating on the wings "revealed" - those who are salty from catching the L.....and those who decided to sell their pair and want to convince themselves that reselling was better than keeping...yeah maybe *some* people really don't like the gold wings revealed..but as a fan of 12's..im excited...these will definitely be considered a grail..

not trying to talk ish...its funny how much uglier the black OVO's started to look to me when i couldn't even enter the raffle and got hit with nonstop airballs...they were pretty nice when i thought I had a chance...and that aint the only shoe that lost its appeal to me after losing a raffle or missing out on snkrs lol...

I guess people have to cope some type of way after catching the L. Can you blame them though? I mean what consolation prize is there if you wanted a shoe like this. I guess you could track down a pair of Playoff 12s but the price will probably be closer to $300, if not over for a DS pair.

For me personally, I look at it as not a bad thing i get to keep $225 plus tax in my pocket. And i won the raffle for French Blues. Many people tried their hardest and struck out on both.
 
Those who entered once and won, came out good, because look at that guy who entered 3k and only won 22. This raffle is really hard to win

I missed out on multiple accounts so I'm definitely salty especially seeing as it looks like 20+ people in AZ sneaker groups won. Which makes it hard to believe only 12K were made but obviously they are numbered so whatevs lol. Don't you hate when you miss out on a release just to go online and see everyone posting screenshots of their purchase

hmm i was only in for the black and white look with the gold  accents too.. dont like the wings look.. but i was thinking..if the wings are exposed after you wear..couldnt you just put some black leather dye over the wings so they look like playoffs?
 
So the gold come through when u rough them up? I thought it might be heat activated or something like that. I put one entry in and won so congrats to the others who won the legit way [emoji]128175[/emoji]. This by far is my biggest hit I thought the db 13s were going to be my pride and joy not no more lol

I don't know if this is legit or not. Completed listings show pairs sold for much cheaper than that bidding price.

Most of the auctions I see don't even have bids if they're listed over $1,100. I see a size 15 bid up to $2,500 with 5 bids, seems believable since they didn't make that many pairs in a 15.

I also see another 10.5 up to $15,300 with 35 bids :lol: :smh:

Congrats to those that won. Since Nike started the draw/raffle system, I have not had any luck. 0/6.

Very frustrating to not ever win, but I only enter once so I'll probably never have any luck.

I'm curious - if it's not legit what would be going on exactly? like that $15,000 pair, what's the deal?

Well when it comes to eBay a lot of those prices are purposely inflated. If you take a look at a lot of those bids the user will have 0 feedback, which in MOST cases means a fake account. People will use multiple accounts just to boost the price sky high to troll everyone into thinking that's the real value. 15k for a pair? You can bet money that shoe wont be sold and pair for. The resale value is most likely around the 1k-1.2k range just depending on size
