The Official Air Jordan 1 Retro Blk/Red "BANNED" Sept 3 2016

[heatseeker23]

 
Ive always wondered how people backdoor stuff with footstores... I mean do they just walk up to the employee, ask to talk to the manager, and be like "yo hook me up with some releases bro. i got cash. lets talk business."

I mean that's ONE way.

A sneakerhead I know just goes to the mall here in SF with fat blunts around closing time and asks the employees if they wanna go get high after work. Then while he's smoking them out he mentions how he wants the kicks, how he'd pay a little extra if someone could help him, and it goes from there.

But it really depends on the store, the manager, and how well/tightly its being run. I went to the mall one time in Arden-Arcade which is kind of a ghetto part of Sacramento and the guy working there straight up told me to my face in the middle of the store in front of other employees, managers, customers, etc. that they had a backdoor business going and what the prices were.

Yes lol I wasn't planning to backdoor. Even if I knew the amount, I still wouldn't know how to go about it, and I don't have the customer base to sell to anyways. If i'm getting a pair, i'm doing it legitimately. I just wanted to know because I wanted to find out how much profit the big guys were making, and if they're ripping us off. SMH you guys assume so much and get all butthurt over a little question.

You come in here with a brand new account, 3 posts, and your first one is "how much does it cost to get an employee to backdoor a shoe for you", of course you're not going to get a good reaction FOH

Here's some info if you're in the Los Angeles area regarding Shiekh, per someone I know who's been a manager at the company for damn near a decade...

Fox Hills Mall (Shiekh Hub) - "A lot" of pairs

Cerritos/Lakewood/Del Amo/South Bay Galleria, etc - your typical allotment for a 2016 OG release

In sum, they're "Not too limited"

Take it for what it's worth.

Does anybody in jersey know how stores are releasing these?

 

[126006]

If anyone can post the NorCal codes for shiekh it would be appreciated!

 

[starfox070]

bro what you talking about? big sizes always sell for less than the more common sizes of 9-11.

Not 13's

13 can get premium 14 and up is drop off.

Most big footers shop to keep.

 

[askim35]

Let's hear yall's Monday/Tueday routine. Im gonna skip my Monday morning class and hit up 3 malls... Around 10 stores total and pray 1 hits

We're all still waiting on them

 

[hiphopsays]

But everybody's favorite Jordan, the 11, sells for barely above retail. As long as supply is high, resellers will have trouble moving and will have to drop the price.

And these are a GR.

I get it ... These are super-duper-monster-King-King-size GR ... Nike ain't produce these in the numbers of 72-10s (several hundred thousand pairs) or Maroons or even ******* BRed 11s. All those Js are going for around $250 because there are many pairs in the sphere so I get folks being a little frantic about potential aftermarket taxation .... But don't' get all of the folks acting as if this is going to be like picking up a pair of unLM mids or will restock like the CMs.

If you've got the time, got peeps to help you, or are unemployed, your stash should look something like this:

If you're way too busy, be thankful if you end up with this:

If these hit the outlets in anything more than random sporadic busted or returned pairs I'll buy a pair and eat them.
