ijapino is on point.  I was working at Louisville Sports Unlimited at the time.  The III's eventually sold out, but we had stacks upon stacks of I's on clearance for $19.99, and even at that price, they sat there forever.  Man, if I only knew then what I know now.

Just clicked on to NDC (and Jumpman23.com) and they're showing 12/23/09. Man, this ruins my plans - I'm off work on Christmas Eve, not onChristmas Eve EVE!

Don't know if it changes your thought process at all, but the Bulls lost to BOTH the Celtics and the Magic when MJ went for 60+. Jordanscored 60+ five times, and the Bulls' record in those games was 2-3, the victories being over the Pistons and Cavaliers.

I also used free Ground Shipping - got my shipping confirmation last night. They're coming out of Memphis and estimated delivery is 10/31/2009. I'min Kentucky and ordered at 8:05 AM.

Just got mine - they are completely DS, laces aren't undone or anything. My box is even in really good shape - you can tell it's been on and off ofshelves, but no dents, scratches, or euro labels. I'm impressed.

Shane McMahon has rocked III's in the ring many times. Other wrestlers have worn athletic shoes - John Cena, Insane Clown Posse (back in their WCW days) - may have worn J's at some point. Hollywood Hulk Hoganeven wore Reebok Iverson DMX's during his nWo time.

In this situation, it's not such a big deal - it's 6 months after RD, and everybody's pretty much taking a flyer on them, placing the order, andkeeping their fingers crossed. If they don't come through, no big deal - it's not like we could've gotten them somewhere else. Where I (and...

finishline.com is notorious for taking your order, then it will stay "pending" for up to two weeks, and then they'll let you know theycan't fill your order. Most recently, happened to me with the Max Orange Retro I's.

Great post - couldn't agree more. I'm not as much worried about what they call it or what it "symbolizes" - I just know Ireally, really, really dig V's! Can't wait to cop the AJV Bubbles pack tomorrow!

I called the number every time one of those ads came out. For this one, you got a recorded message of a conversation between a Nike tech and Tinker (I think),talking about the features/technology - patent leather, gum rubber, etc. (the XI was really revolutionary). The phone message for the...

As well as the Air Max CW and the Air Ndestrukt (maybe the Shakes too). I loved getting my Sports Illustrateds with these ads on the back cover - Icouldn't dial fast enough on that rotary phone!

Dude, those black/dark charcoal AJF 9's are nothing but a cruel, cruel joke . . .

Go to www.jumpman23.com and click on release dates. The pic there will be as accurate as anything you'll find atthis point.

MJ scored 60+ once in 1985-86 (I's), twice in 1986-87 (II's), once in 1989-90 (V's), and once in 1992-93 (VIII's). Who knows what this thingwill look like . . .
