For me, my first intention was never to resell; I wanted to get my size. But after me and my brother camped out all night for 9 hours, get cut by 20 people and only end up getting a size 14 each I really just want to make enough money to make up for the time we spent in line. I feel like I went through more work to get these than most people on here and still couldnt come up with a pair. And if I wouldnt have bought the size 14s to resell, I know there was 20 people in line behind me that would have.

I don't understand what all the fuss is about concerning resellers. Nike/JB released essentially the same exact shoe/colorway 3 times now in less than 3 years, albeit these are better quality I admit. I passed on these, and I don't regret....and if paying a high markup for these isn't your deal, pass on paying up high dollars for them and get the DMP 1's or the straps if you plan to wear them....

We all know this "community" has always been big on reselling. Concords will be the same exact way later this year....I'll have mine and certainly don't plan on paying resellers either.

Hah, I was told these are supposed to drop tomorrow at House of Hoops London! I'll believe it when I see it!

I struck out with the outlets, The few that do have a few pair left wont take phone orders and i ain't driving 4 hours for a shoe. This is the1st release in about 8 yrs im having major issues getting.

CONCORDS WILL BE A MASS PRODUCED GR. DEMAND WILL BE HIGH BUT EVENTUALLY MOST WILL GET THEIR PAIRS. LOOK AT THE COOL GREYS. WILL BE AN EASY COP FOR CONCORDS IN MEMPHIS FOR ME. RESELLING GR'S IS A FAIL. IT WON'T EVEN BE WORTH IT REALLY UNLESS YOU ARE GETTING THEM AT SWOOSH PRICES.

Mass production does not always indicate an easy cop for everyone...and XI's always move regardless if they are general releases or not. But regardless, there will be pandemonium for them come release date and there will be boat loads for resale. But I digress...

Also swoosh has been really weak lately as far as launch product. we have been getting no discounts the past few releases.

Thanks. My 10's don't have the mark but my 10.5 do. Btw did you happen to get yourself a pair?

 

[cornzilla]

Why is everyone getting on 160 for? Does dissing him make you feel better, honestly if he had info and didn't want to share I don't blame him. I didn't share info until I made sure I had my pair first. So I don't blame him cause the minute he lets that go the outlet will be flooded with people buying up all the sizes and when he gets there it will be sold out.

 

[cjdynasty]

I believe that it might have just got leaked out...

 

[ckauffman23]

maybe this is all a brilliant scheme from nike... take a scrapped shoe that may have sat say theyre gonna be limited and flip them at outlets for regular price... kinda genious instead of just scrapping all together

NOT DEBATING THEY WILL BE A HOT ITEM OR NOT MOVE BUT THE FACT THAT THERE WILL BE BOAT LOADS FOR RE SELL DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR RE SELLERS. MOST WILL GET THEIR PAIRS FOR RETAIL OR CLOSE TO IT. ONCE AGAIN REFERENCE THE COOL GREYS.

Yes, I did finally work a deal out with a NT'er. I'll give him props as soon as my box arrives. I'm working a deal on another pair for $200 shipped or less. It looks promising. Know your stuff people. Believe me...reality is settling in on these sellers. You don't have to be so anxious, because they're/the sellers are becoming more anxious to get rid of them by the second. Don't bend over and eF yourself.

From a business standpoint, its brilliant.

Reason why Nike is a billion $$$ enterprise!

Just think about it.  A "screw up" made them a million, easily.

And without "middle men" bka stores.  They sold it on their own turfs.

We dont have many so hurry up. Limit one per person. We will not be putting this on hold so please do not call and ask us to put it on hold. And strange request... Do not ask the cashiers to buy the shoe for you.

THIS WAS DEF A PLANNED MOVE BY NIKE. PORTLAND AND CHICAGO WAS JUST THE INITIAL TEST. EXPECT MORE RELEASES LIKE THIS IN THE FUTURE.

Yup, indeed. They figure, why not just contain the hype within your stores. Only complaint I have is that they didnt send it to any stores in OHIO, or this area for this matter.

 

[metallic]

Rumor has it that certain outlets will be receiving small re-stocks of banned 1s. Any truth to this? I'll be calling a couple outlets to see what I can dig up.

OUTLETS having released dates?

E-mails being sent to OUTLETS.

C'on now.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID ABOUT THIS RELEASE INTIALLY BUT I WAS PROVEN WRONG. LIKE I SAID I CAN SEE THIS HAPPENING AGAIN AFTER NIKE SEES THE SUCCESS THESE BANNED 1'S HAD.

CAN'T BLAME THEM THOUGH. BEFORE THIS RELEASE IF I SAID I HAD ACTUALLY VISITED AN OUTLET STORE IN PERSON MORE THAN TWICE, I WOULD BE LYING.

not taking anyone's side, but the difference is:

If you have info and don't care to share it (which i don't blame people for doing), why tell people you have the info?

 

[stevedensmore]

I'm still bitter neither outlet in Michigan got these. Complete BS!

NO OFFENSE CJ IF YOU ARE FROM THE AREA BUT I SWEAR FROM ALL THE PLACES I'VE LIVED AROUND THE COUNTRY, OHIO IS THE WORST SPOT TO COP LIMITED RELEASES. ALMOST NO ATTENTION IS SHOWN TO THE ENTIRE STATE. YOU GUYS WERE GETTING LOVE ON LEBRONS WHEN HE WAS HERE BUT EVEN THAT HAS DRIED UP....

CLEVELAND IS RUMORED TO GET A HOH NEXT YEAR DOWNTOWN BUT WE WILL SEE....
