Many NY mom and pop shops don't sell for retail on Jordans anyway. There's at least 3 spots I can walk to that have a lot of recent retros but all are for resell prices.

Paying resell price in person? no thank you. doing it over a computer dulls the blow a bit. doing it in person would just be a slap in the face

THIS. Really wanted a pair as well. Even buying a so called "No Mold" pair off ebay would be risking it. All you need is a miniscule amount on the inside where you cant see it and thats it. The risk is too high just for a pair of AJKOs.

Same. Gonna call again on Friday.
If my store still releases them, I'm gonna have detergent ready and let them sit in my car garage for a few days.

im sure not ALL pairs were affected. there definitely have to be some places, that received flawless pairs, and will still sell. the only way that EVERY pair is mold infected is if they ALL were stored in the exact conditions. i highly doubt that nike only sent over 1 container ship and the whole damn thing is infected. the question is whether they left china infected or got infected here.

I bet this material (Canvas) was laying around at a factory somewhere - and Got WET!
they went n made the shoes thinking the material would be ok
after the shoes are made they ship out to storage - Mold starts popping up prior to shipping out to stores...
NIKE does Massive Recall

im not 100% sure on the incubation period for mold but these have been out of production for 4+ months. if they came from the china side id say theyd look far worse.these got this way sitting in storage somewhere where the humidity/temp wasnt being regulatied.

makes sense. the only way mold forms is if the material is wet. so if even one pair got wet and was stored where there is no ventilation, the moisture couldnt evaporate. so really one pair couldve affected them all. spreading like herpes....

Is the US Govt going to look into this? I suspect an investigation will likely occur if people start getting sick...

Now, reason I say it's the material and not where they stored the Shoes prior to making them for the other simple fact is - I Haven't Seen Mold On the Boxes! And Everyone Knows Cardboard would get the mold faster then the canvas being paper-
Nor have I seen boxes that look like they would be Damp or Wet from Storage!

thats true, but i also dont know at what point the shoes are even put in the boxes. mold spreads fast right? just i just feel like these would be covered in white by the time they got to us. production on these started in March/April

Wonder how this will affect the other AJKO releases. If those still manage to come out, then I'd guess there's a good chance they will remake these in a year or two. Issues or not, this probably generates a little more hype for the shoe in terms of getting a "clean" pair.

At least it is not Pizza Party season because we would be upset if there was mold on our pizza.

"Most experts agree that the most perilous mold is the one that is unseen such as in air conditioning units, duct-work, or with in walls. These molds can swell up rapidly while undetected. In most cases, hidden molds can be discerned not by eye but by the stale odor or the frequent need to clear your throat."

I think this is partly your fault as well since you posted the link."Most experts agree that the most perilous mold is the one that is unseen such as in air conditioning units, duct-work, or with in walls.
