Official Air Jordan X black/stealth release thread: 3/24/12:::NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING:::

[kontraband1911]

I picked mine up earlier today. They definitely look 100x better in person. Really calm release. I got to the store about 5 min before it opened and saw a couple people that were obviously waiting in their cars. I took advantage and started the line. I was standing there for all of 2 min before a FL employee opened the door and let me in. These are really reaaalllly clean. I might get a second pair but imma wait to see if they go on sale. From what I've seen i dont think they'll sell out right away. People might reconsider buying these once they see them on people's feet. I'm extremely pleased with my pair! I suggest people go check em out in person before passing.

At this point if you can pre order you HAVE to do so, otherwise you're just rolling dice waiting on release date. I'd imagine ppl who really wanted a pair of black and white J's would wait until next month's Playoff 12's so these selling out are def re-sellers. But if you reaaly want them im sure you can find these online somewhere or at a store. Just added a size 9 on Eastbay just to check, thet still have them.

I just checked on eastbay.com they have size 9, 10.5, 11.5, 12, 12.5, and 13.

The thing about the playoffs is that they're almost half white and half black. The stealths are about 94% black. I suggest people check em out. they are not ashy looking at all like they are on a lot of pics I've seen online.

I had this ploblem with the Chicagos and the Royals. 10.5 is my TTS and they are too tight so I get an 11 and there is too much toe room so they crease like crazy in the toe box.

or maybe folks dont like the shoe

That's never stopped them before.

People are beginning to realize that buying every release is effecting their wallets, that tax return is running out

[kontraband1911]

Yea i'd be surprised if they were really sold out. I went to three different footlockers to check out the lines and there weren't any sooo i highly doubt these are sold out.

 

[23since85]

Not surprised these didn't sell out.

 

[ricfawse]

I don't know what sites you guys are looking at but they are sold out online. These are super clean, so glad i got my pair.

 

[kontraband1911]

Damn you're right. I just checked Eastbay and they only have sizes 12 and 12.5 left

 

[lewbez]

these sold a lot faster than I thought, I passed...

 

[irock]

Of course they are going to sell out. Depending on the store, they could be gone by the end of the day. If you really want them, go to a different store.
I bet you they are going to be sitting around for a little bit.

 

[crh1979]

You can have these. Easy pass for me.

 

[hibb304]

These look clean in person. Copped

 

[penalize]

i dont get why everyone is so mad these sold out..if you dont like em, dont buy them.......

 

[balkiny03]

I dont like this color way I am more of a og color way type of person but I got these for my son and they should of done the mens size like they did the kids the smaller sizes has the gray stripes like the steels by the laces unlike the mens that are all black.

 

[Magic33]

These will be back up on NDC in a few days

 

[bdub313]

I liked, I copped way cleaner in person.. This release reminds me of the stealth 3s that dropped and sat on shelves nobody wanted them... But then when a couple rappers twittered the stealth 3s wearing them they were sold out in a instant lol SMH... I predict these will be sold out by tonight

It's not that anyone is mad, it's just that they're a VERY lackluster shoe.  Kind of shoe that is really on the fence, and you either like them by personal taste or you can't be bothered.  Used to be that a shoe like that would never sell out that quick:
1. Stealth III's

2. Cool Grey IV's

3. Do the Right Thing III's

4. Varsity Red VI's (both black and whites were still on shelves a month after release date)

5. Oreo VI's

6. White, Red, Orion Blue VII's

7. Miami VII's

8. Wolf Grey V's

9. Raging Bull Pack V's

10. white/carolina IX's

That's just to name a small few off the top of my head that, IMO, all looked at least a little bit better (or more interesting I should say) than these X's.  It just shows we're at a time where people are whoring out for almost every pair of kicks that comes out, so every single sneaker release is starting to turn into something hectic, even when  they're dropping stuff at such a high volume.  The days of just walking into a store to try a pair of something on are pretty much done.  Now you order online and roll the dice, or cop whatever size is left when you get to the front of the line on release day and try to trade or resell.
