AIR JORDAN 12 RETRO - BLACK/WHITE/RED - 130690-001 - CONFIRMED 4/2012

[xdesmond]

Stayed in a hotel with my girl to celebrate the 20th, and I wasnt familiar with the way releases go down at the local mall. Got there at 9 (a hour before they opened) and saw people walking around with Footlocker bags. Parked and ran in, Footlocker apparently sold out at 7am, the other stores in the mall opened at 6. Waited in line from 9-10 at a place in the mall, got up to about 4 people in front of me and they sold out. It's all good though, was able to cop some CG 4s for a great price off Craigslist.

Rocked my pair today in beautiful Southern California weather. They do seem to go half a size big. No problems though.

yeah i been lucky enough to  get all my pick ups online  i haven't had to do the mall thing in a while well anyways i got  my pair on finish line.com  but after hearing all this about them canceling orders i wanted to be on the safe side so i went to the mall at 7:30 in the morning and they dont open till 9 there where allready people sitting in there cars in the parking lot when i got there so as soon as i pull up people start getting out and strat getting ready to stand by the door so im good cause im right in the front but there is multiple doors so i stand by the one i think there gonna open first so as im waiting out there more people start to come by the time it was almost 9 it had to be a 100 plus so the secuirty start walking toward the door to open them and i see he's not walking towards the doors im standing at so im like damn ima have to push my way thru to the other side to get in so i get in there and start running along with everybody else there is 4 total shoe spots in are mall so i run  to the  closest one witch is footlocker i get there pretty quick and get in the line there was only 11 people in front of me im 12th so im like yeah i should be good so he starts handing out tickets tell me why he  stops at the 10th person in line talking about that's it im out  my footlocker only got 10 pair that was some bs so i try and run to the other store only to find out  from everybody walking back towards my way empty handed that all the other stores where the same way they only got 10 pair aint that some bs i thought this was a GR anyways moment of truth is for me tomorrow to see if i get a shipping email from finish line or a  cancellation  email

question for those of you who have had these before... how hard is it to keep the outsole clean or is it just inevitable. I know Im gonna want to rock mine in a month or 2 when the weather gets nice up here in NY and it seems like these will get dirty quick. bottom and mudguard are all crispy white and it seems like they will be impossible to keep clean

^ Yep, if you're willing to pay that much for the 12s, might as well pay some extra and try to score the 04 version.

Also, don't rely on Hilton Wi-Fi to try and cop something from NDC lmfao

I, on the other hand went to my usual spot down the hall and scooped up a pair for retail and left the building to hit up Ihop with the wife lol.S/N: I think i'll get there early next release to take advantage of the mili discount lol

thats whats up...glad you got your pair

 

[Jumanji]

Went out friday night and missed out on these.

Really wasn't expecting to be out all night, but thats college for you. Whenever they drop to the 200-220 range is when ill get them. Bright side, won 80 dollars beating these fools in 2k yesterday so i guess that'll make up for the resale price

Believe it or not they contacted me lol... I was HEATED when i heard the guy say they prevented my jimmyjazz order on release night from going through since they saw so many pending charges from fnl and nike... whatever i ended up copping my size 9 off snipes hopefully they get to my house by the time they retro these again

Hell most people outside our world don't understand why we do what we do. So if I see a fellow sneaker head young or old then that's what's up...don't care if it's foams, Js, or lebrons. Judging and hating take too much time and energy.

Same here. Wore my js today swoopin up my pair.  Wasn't trying to impress anyone either, just haven't wore them in a while.  Just reminded my about them because of this release and decided to throw them on. And it was still comfy cuz we all know how comfy the 04' retros feel.
