Fulton was a disaster today.......some people even got yoked up outside Jimmy Jazz.....mom/pop stores wanted 300 a pair. F that. On the way home stopped at another mom/pop in Bay Ridge. Resale price was 225, better then paying 300+. I had put aside 350 to cop 2 pairs. Im happy with my one pair...
It happened to me for the Powder 9s......paid retail for 2 pairs, only to see them hit sales racks after. Doesnt bother me though.....it was an OG colorway retro'd for the first time. who knew?
At 31, going on 32....I still buy/wear Jordans for many reasons (memory association, reflection of some of the best times of my life, etc). I also say that about Flight 89s, AM90s, 93s, & 95s. Personally I think a lot of the stuff thats being designed and sold now doesn't look appealing. Sure...
Still havent rocked my pair yet...but glad to hear good things from those who have worn them. Weather in NYC is starting to get nice. Will have to break these out soon. On another note, really would have liked to have seen the Columbias or Oreos with the perforated leather retro'd......well...
Gonna try to cop 2x on NDC Friday night.....giving up a night out drinking with a chick who is an easy score. Im not chancing it. Was gonna do it on the iPhone like someone else stated a few pages back, but its way to risky. To be honest with you, I don't want to have to deal with all the...
These are the holiest of holy grails for me, so they will be copped. My <3 for sneakers in general while not completely gone has waned a great deal. I got hooked on getting inked.....so shoes will have to take a backseat to the needle right after this release
Still havent worn my 06 Retros.....SMH@myself......if I can get these as a backup (so that I can wear my 06' ones freely with no worries) will do....if not, more $$$ towards multiple pairs of Playoff 12s
I hear you, I dont have doubles of everything I own....but because of incidents that have happened on more then one occasion its just my preference. Im more comfortable knowing that if something does go wrong I have an extra pair to fall back on
I would love the Oreos over those just barely. As for the mesh......no thanks. Its easy to say "I want mesh now"....check this scenario.......then youll order them from NDC, mesh will come pre-yellowed, you will log onto NT and rage over it.
Passed on True Blue IIIs, the recent Last Shots, & double up on Playoff XIIIs. Now I had the money, saw them in store.....after release dates, but kept second guessing whether to spend on them. I regretted on all 3 SMH
Can't wait......to think I wont even wear the Retro pair in my closet because its my only one (im paranoid like that, cant wear a shoe unless I have a double)
Finally shipped, should have my pair on Thursday.......some of the prices these are going for...WTH is wrong with people. Its only a pair of shoes. Way I saw it, if I got a cancellation.....well its 170+ back in my pocket
After the upcoming Playoff XII Im gracefully bowing out. I own all of my grails already.....I may come out of retirement occasionally only to double up on a handful of shoes.....but this is it at least for 2012
So after 5 prestiges, I am still thoroughly enjoying the game. Some observations.....
-in the early levels ill use the FMG9 & MP9 as primaries on the small tight maps. They level up quick and the 10,000 XP for each one helps a lot early on.
-happy to see campers aren't reaping the benefits in...
