It's actually Ki Ki Ki Ki, Ma Ma Ma Ma. Doesn't sound like it, but that's what they say it is lol

Lol, makes sense since his mom did all the killing in part 1.

Wednesday will be a restock?

I have no clue in regards to a restock, but that's the day my pair is finally arriving.

Necessary to spray the ballistic nylon upper with Crep? Or Nah?

Asking as the father of a messy 1yr old.

I did. I used Jason Markk REPEL on the upper. Taped off the patent and did 2 coats of it. Then I used a few sprays of my guitar polish on the patent leather. Gives it a great shine and feels extra smooth like you just waxed your car.

I still dont understand getting 5 pairs of the same size of the same shoe

He really likes it?

I think the most I've bought of the same shoe for personal use or wear is 4 pairs. A few months later I wonder what was I thinking.

I personally enjoy the PL, medial side and all!

I dont think I could realistically go through 5 pairs. I can wear a shoe for years.

Im not totally knocking the practical aspect of it if you're wanting to have the shoe in regular rotation for say 5 years. I dont feel like Id know when to cycle them out. Id either do it too often or id go for 3 years with my first pair

 

[alsa2009]

Was surprised to see these at my local FL... Random sizes can still be found of these...

Pure curiosity

I'm loving my Concords, but I wish the Quality matched the 2016 PEs. From the stitched number, to the thicker patent leather.

Smh

I have three pairs and will get a fourth within the next month or so. Asking how it makes sense necessarily includes too many variables. This shoe has caused me nothing but heartache (in shoe geek terms) since the OG release in '95. No need to explain why again. Today, I am easily able to afford my pairs because I have a solid income. So I said to myself, I will not be without these for years to come, and I won't have to baby one or two pairs to make that happen. Will I burn through all four pairs before the next concord retro happens? Maybe, maybe not. But the peace of mind I have is where I'm coming from. Worst case, I have an urworn pair in seven or eight years. Big deal, I can sell it then and basically get my money back. It's not like I could have taken the $1,000 I'll have spent on these and invested it into something that is worth $15K in those seven or eight years. So for me, it's not even ridiculous. Now, if you're someone who can't afford it but buys multiple pairs, anyway? Yeah, that's dumb. They're still just shoes.

Interesting. I wore my barely worn first pair of "Space Jams" all day today and while I love them, I kept thinking I wish they had the shape, cordura padding, patent cut and overall look of my new concords. Agree about the stitched 23. Not sure the patent thickness is actually even a thing, I will check. If it is, it's miniscule. The white line on a black upper looks more pronounced than it does against the white upper of the concords. It can also vary from pair to pair. Either way, neither is the same as the patent quality on the OGs so it's basically a wash to me. Space Jams are sick, but these concords are on a different level overall in my book. Not even a question. I'd trade the differences you mention for the padded upper and improved shape/patent cut all day, every day, forever. But that's just me.

If I had 5 pairs, I'll use each of them for different things simultaneously.
- On ice
- Casual
- Hooping
- House shoes
- Display

 

[Bert.]

Does upper deck still do that program where you can send an item certain time of year to get signed by MJ? I know it’s like $1500 fee but think these would be dope to get signed

I’d fork over the cash I think but they might have stopped that

Bruh Im prone to being meticulous and trying to be more in the moment. Thats what I dont need in my life. "ughh i hope i didnt grab my casual pair for hooping.... ****"

 

[oasls77]

I guess I should say something since all these 5 pairs concords are directed towards me. Simply I guess I just love me some concords. And I had the chance to rarely pay retail for an retro pair I love why not. And who knows when these will release again. I know I know they might recycle everyth8ng with the 23 again. But these imo are as close to the 95 og concords as Nike will get. NOW if they release the OG concords with the real full grain leather then ima get 10 pairs lmao nah but seriously

 

[cg23]

I mean no disrespect, just genuinely wanted to know why some buy so many. If anything I respect the passion for the shoe. Just pure curiousity

 

[playaproved]

5 pairs is hella strong!

This is the first time I’m going to actually go through with doubling up. I usually end up selling one pair a little down the line, but these are too crispy and I think I always want a fresh pair to stare at. Makes me want a fresh pair of the Black/Concords even though I’ve only worn my pair twice so they still look DS.

Only other time I double or triple up on something is jeans. When I find a pair that fits perfectly and has a nice wash that I like, I’ll buy multiples to have back ups.

I buy 5 of the same vinyl record just different splatters/colors lol
