The leather is crazy nice, I never had a chance to own a pair of the 2011 to compare but if this is how the 2011's looked.. quality-wise, DAMN!

It's quality leather given today's standard. It's not the same as the 2011. My friend has the 88's and i have the 2011. The 88 is better.Some people saying same leather some people are saying quality leather.. who is lying ?

The only logical solution is a preorder/backorder system like EB used to have.

^ do you own both pairs? In hand? Take pics and show me that the only difference is the NA on the back. If you can't. Your just talking out your butt.

Cold, the 88 is better bruh LOL. I mean it's not saying much but it is. The price hike still isn't justified IMO.

Thats going to be chaotic. Someone got shot and killed for the Bred XI in Houston back in december and that was a GR (RIP). These are Limited... I hope i'm wrong but I can imagine there will be chaos for these even if it's a line just for the tickets. I'm always hearing about that type of stuff in Houston for Jordan Releases. Good luck and be safe to ya'll Houston Nt'ers if you go out there to cop.

the 88s have a much tougher leather than the 11s had. after wear these will be much more crease resistant due to the tumbled leather being a split grain instead a thinner single layer of tumbled leather. Nike has been doing this to save money the past few years.
i think the people who are saying this is the exact same shoe as the 11s because they are jaded that it isnt a drastic change that it was between the DMP Bulls 1s and Banned 1s. Trust me, these were made with much more care than the 11s were due to this being a online QS with a limited amount produced as opposed to a widely available GR. But even the 11s were made with quality. I see people with beat pairs all around the Chi with not even so much as 1 paint chip.

So this is what it feels like to miss out on a pair. Like I always get the kicks I want. Always had that luck. Not gonna even lie I was sort of bitter yesterday.
Not so much that I missed out on them, but I had them and Eastbay crushed that. I'd probably be fine if I just saw they were sold out, but to get an order confirmation and to get it cancelled? A mess.
Now I'm even starting to question if FNL will ever get their GS size shipment. Sucks when all you want is 1 pair and people are able to cop multiple with ease. Crazy thing after I thought I secured my pair, I looked out for my boy and got through on a 9.5 for him and helped others here secure different size. Who would of known generosity would bite you in the ***?
Ehh what are you gonna do though? Can't be mad, congrats to those who were able to cop. If anyone can come across a size 6 for a decent amount help a fellow female sneakerhead out, please? Yeah yeah I know I joined in 2012 (oh no hypebeast alert!) and it's an all boys club and we like to help just our bros out here, but pretty please? We females like kicks too. Thanx
