Off-White x Air Jordan Thread - Rest In Peace Virgil Abloh

[SoleByThePound]

Just spoke to a very good friend of mine who owns a store in cleveland (begins with a X) said there is tons coming this week and Nike is floodIng the market.

I’m not buying flooding the market at all.

Seller shipped.. bitter sweet knowing I wanted to wait it out a bit more . Hoping for a second official release to recoup some. Either way at least I got em.

What size did you cop?

If you're ever considering buying for resell, i'd buy today. Stockx discounting seller fees by 50% until midnight, should result in even lower prices - I don't think they'll be getting any lower than they will today.

Edit: As of 8am pst it seems to no longer be working for Off-White

If everyone drops their bids knowing folks want o hurry up and sell.... This discount dont mean **** lol. This may benefit buyers even more if they play market right.

I got my pair in from Nike.com and the blue laces were already unwrapped and the printing on one lace is completely messed up. They missed so bad that the plastic aglet was half melted.

 

[KingCloudIX]

So basically they early-released defective kix?

 

[megatran]

Here’s my pair from the surprise drop. Seems like Nike always finds a way to get me the best quality sneakers.


Won’t be too noticeable on foot but still a bummer. It will just make it easier for me wear and enjoy I suppose.

 

[solefx]

I need this to drop below a stack in the size 8-9 range SMH

Dealt with not being able to re-route because of that many times. I went into the My Choice preferences and added my name the way it appears on that particular shipping label to my UPS list of names so in the future I could have the option to have it held at an Access Point. Also, you can go in and set it up to have all your future packages get shipped straight to the access point of your choice. That way if the label is screwed up, it will automatically get re-routed without you having to do it every single time for each package.

I did this also.. I actually went and put my phone number in there in hopes of catching it in the future lol. Something about SNKRS orders that they do that phone number thing and mess with my choice; not all of them but I have had it happen like 2 times.

I’m thinking about buying a pair for resale if if they drop to $850 in my size. This may be a stupide question or 1 that was asked earlier (too lazy to look through comments) but do these run the same as ever other Jordan 1? Thanks.

I didn't try mine on before selling, but I'd imagine they would.

I can believe it. Theyre kinda doing this by releasing more colorways of the pre-exisitng colors. By the end of this year, we will have:

-3 Jordan 1s
-4 Prestos
-4 Blazers
-3 Vapormaxes
-3 Air Max 90s

If Nike wanted to keep this collection limited, they wouldnt be doing additional colorways. Especially so soon after the original drop. It hasnt even been 6 months yet.

 

[KingCloudIX]

The real question is...Is StockX accepting the flaws in boxes and shoes or missing laces?

If not, StockX may be the place to buy since they would come with everything and un-damaged box....thus driving cost back up.

 

[KanyIZZY]

I know my pair better have all the damn shoe laces.. paying hiked up resell. lol

 

[unctarheel22]

I just talked to Nike and got a 15% off code for the messed up shoe laces they gave me.

GOAT already has this standard.

StockX has been known to pass shoes without all extra laces and accessories and give a bogus excuse for it.

See previous off white releases and ppl who got got on StockX purchases and received bogus emails.

 

[KanyIZZY]

You can't even use any of those codes on SNKRS lol. What do ya'll do with them? Buy tech fit?

 

[joseph8764]

Lol pretty soon people will be saying “Off White is dead”

They make a point to mention boxes must be undamaged, but extras that come with the shoes aren't deal breakers for them.

My experience buying from both GOAT and Stockx is that my pairs from GOAT are 9/10 it comes in flawless condition. For Stockx it's more like 6 or 7 out of 10 times its a good condition pair, I've had a few with defects, hair in insole, look tried on, etc. I have no idea why, it's either a coincidence or GOAT really does have stricter inspections?

What does GOAT take in commissions from their sales?

 

[krayzsb]

Just noticed mine didn’t come with orange laces..

^ somtimes you can call CS to ask them to apply it. Some will do it for you and some won't.

Yes GOAT has stricter inspections. They have 2 step authentication. Make sure the shoe is real.
Then make sure the shoe meets QC standards.

Used shoes are a different beast obviously but still has QC apply.

What does GOAT take in commissions from their sales?

GOAT charges 9.5% of sale price plus $5
The total you get from that is a credit. If you choose to cash out then you lose 2.9% from PayPal.

It's not a direct payout to your PayPal like stock X.

If you're planning to sell used shoes and then buy a pair, GOAT is key. If you're selling for pure profit it's up to you to decide. Stock X you can lower your fee percentage after successful sales, but GOAT usually has higher prices. Give and take on both ends.

Hope this all helps.
