I look at these 'restocks' the same way i look at going to the casino/gambling. You really have to assume you lost and be OK with that before you even set foot in the casino. Then if you win, its a bonus, but if you lose you aren't that salty about it - because you never planned on winning in the first place. These "restocks" are next to impossible to grab something from, i dont even bother anymore.

This is my thoughts exactly. I think my fore reds from 07 look great with the slight yellowing. Love the vintage look so I too have learned to embrace it.

About to buy a pair of these from a local reseller, I've watched a ton of Youtube videos already, but are there any tips you guys can give me so I can make sure the pair I'm buying is authentic? Appreciate it.

Just bought a second pair through eBay for 200 shipped. (Worn once) and yes authentic. Anyone have any paint chipping or cracking ?
My other pair is holding up after about 15 wears.

Your best bet is to post pics in the legit check section. A few quick things to look for are widows peaks, bad elephant print and choppy tongues.

I've worn mine almost everyday this past year while they do have some midsole cracking, they have no paint chipping what so ever. I even wore them through the winter. They have held up really well I must say.

Been sitting on a DS pair that someone is asking for $300. Trying to get him down to $280, crossing my fingers hill give in. But yeah, 300+ on line is pretty typical!but not sure how many are actually spending that much.

Ok. Thanks guys. Was thinking about selling my 2nd pair. They are worth more than that to me though.

I think that's where the sky high prices play a role. There is more emotion involved in these for most people selling is why they are asking so much. Even if I sold a pair for $400-$500, that money will only be good until I get another couple pairs and guess what, I won't have the 88 III's and that right there would kill me. For me the III's go way back to when I was in sixth grade and only 2 guys in town had them, both basketball stars and I used always say to myself, wish I could afford or have them thinking I never will. Now that it's a possibility with the "Nike Air" is bringing back so many memories. So yeah, I feel yeah on meaning part of it.

agreed. I'd let them go for 450-500 but even then I'd feel some sort of way about it. I have no problem keeping them. Don't really need the money.

Paid double retail for my pair - I didn't bat an eye lash and I love my pair. I wear them. Wear yours and you'll appreciate them more.

oh i have a pair that i wear. I picked up a second pair a while ago though, and was thinking about selling it for the cash but its just not worth it to me. Id rather have DS pair of '88s on ice than a couple hundred bucks..
