Goes great with this splatter print shirt of MJ rockin the OGs too!
Enjoy them, oh and nice pics

If/when I had a "secret" spot, I wouldnt post it on here either. For what?! So that you all and the lurkers can clean them out before I even get my pair? I tell you the spot, you go and buy everything (even my 14/15 but you wear an 8 ), then you offer to unload it to me for the "fair" price of $300, @!***!
As everyone has mentioned, everyone is talking that "NT Fam" but I am seeing more and more people getting left in the cold. Its a very select few that I deal with, and we have ALREADY been PM'ing each other. Ive been here going on 9 years. You noobs will learn.
Oh and yall going at my dude 160, dude is a beast with his. Ever notice how he gets EVERY top notch release. You all should sit back and watch and learn instead of popping off. But hey, what do I know, just my $.02

I've been reading into this for good 20 something pages and I still don't understand if these are B-grade or an actual release. Haha, anyone can clarify? and good *#*$ everyone that got their pairs

Kicked me off the grounds at Cypress when I got there @ midnight, no one was allowed til 5. I came back @ 4 and there were abt 250 ppl there, and a list was compiled. Pretty pissed, cuz they took the list and decided to make that the line. I stuck around, half the ppl left, and I was 4th in line when they sold the last pair, my size, 14. This hurts, the resellers were in full force, flippin' em for $300 b4 they even left the outlets.

you guys can throw that term "NT fam" around like nothing because to 95% of you it means NOTHING...but to the other 5% of us,it means something....95% of the people i speak to on a consistent basis obtained a pair of these whether it was waiting in line or getting "hooked up" by a friend. I personally couldnt hit up an outlet, and a friend looked out for $150 shipped. thats outlet price+tax+shipping and $15-20 they had to pay to get someone to buy the pair...People i know,like Marc didnt get multiples because he wanted others to get atleast one pair first. I was in constant text messages talking to people to see who needed what and how the pair can be obtained,whether it was hitting up someone across the country to see what can be done....releases like this make you realize whos who on here.
thanks again Jay for the pair. def. owe you one...thanks Marc, Kalv, Mike, KC, Edwin and everyone else whether it was info on outlets or trying to get pair(s)

NT does a lot of talk, but we all see many of the resellers are part of the NT community. Smh

^ "re-sellers" are part of the "sneaker community" in general,not just on NT....in any industry,whether its sneakers,clothes, food, gas, etc, there is re-selling...people need to make money. people re-sell shoes for three different reasons 1. for profit only 2. get their pair(s) cheap/cheaper or 3. for profit AND to get their pair cheaper....the re-seller argument always gets brought up on any big release. yes it sucks some people didnt have their local outlet get these,but not EVERYONE can get them, thats the way it is.whether its limited releases, QS, TZ, samples/PEs, thats just the way it is....if anything blame Nike

It especially sucks when they jack up the release (a random list, really) and ppl buy em just to try to get over on me. I'm off J's now

resellers are the nt community these days. anyone who ++!++#! about them is a hypocrite. like i said found it funny the same people complaining about resellers before june 1st were the same cats buying multiple pairs to flip for profit after. seems like those clowns were just envious others were cashing in before them.

I disagree. Cause I know I have never bought extra pairs of anything just to flip man. I buy sneakers to keep and if I ever get a steal or a deal NT is the first place I come to help out others. Not everyone is out to make a buck off sneaker culture...Some are really in it for the love of it not the profit.

Hang in there my fellow big footer. Ive been there. I was fortunate enough to get these, but that's because I have put the time in to work some connections. Your time will come. Just keep digging. It will work out. Maybe not for these, but there is always heat coming out of JB.

you cant generalize about a whole community when everyone doesnt fit under the statement you made. every release you will have those "I got you nt fam. no rape prices" then you see their sig with a 200% markup of the original price

of course its not going to apply to everyone under the sun but lets be honest it applies to 95% of the people here including myself at times. times have changed most people see dollar signs first now.

With that said, before I forget...
Public thanks to "AirAnt23" and "Bush Man 2002" for being apart of the "5 percent" UPandCOMING32 mentioned...
Of course, I've known these dudes for years, and we all grown and men with character/no motives, so it's different. Its not even about NT/shoes at this point in all sincerity, but still, they looked out. And of course, favor will be returned, but ain't like that gotta be mentioned either.
Y'all "interior motive" kats need to get/develop some character -- or is that rare in the "sneaker community" now days? It ain't "charity" when you gotta brag/mention your past donations/lookouts to "justify" or "vindicate" yourself...
God knows, the people know, and it comes back to you eventually. Isn't that all that matters?

No. Not all boxes are marked, because not all of them are actually B-Grades. This definitely was a scrapped project. Why it was scrapped?...I don't know.
