Because of you little nuggets. Jordan's no longer retail for 125. You guys buy 3 pairs each so the next man can't get his pair turn around and wait 2-3 days and sell the shoes for double what you paid for. You killed the game. U can't get j's for less than 160 3s retailed for 200!? Please. I joined NT in 03 for the jordan forum. Now I only stay in general. This is no t directed forward EVERYBODY if it don't apply let it fly. IM just ranting. This is why I am sticking to Maxes. Don't get me started on foams. Half of ya don't even know who penny hard away is. No I'm not broke, he's i can afford Js. But the games ruined.

Haha, I had Grapes, my first pair of Jordans. got them on my 10th birthday. Which was in July...these things sat for months. Lol. Or maybe Nike just kept restocking. Who knows...all I remember is that they released 3 color ways the same day and my Moms was like "NO" only to surprise me months later.

My dude got the latest Nikon camera or something :lol: . Pics are lovely!

These were a tough cop for me. May have been a general release but that doesn't mean stores got a ton of pairs. Just means more stores carried them, than usual.

Penny Hard Away sounds like it would be Penny Hardaway's porn name if he was a wildly uncreative individual.

Part of me wants to upgrade my shipping from Eastbay, I hate that they charge $8 for UPS Surepost now. Also I'm impatient and high school kids camp out at every Jordan release around me so there's no way I'm copping in person.
 
Alright I got my shipping confirmation, but when I click the tracking number, it takes me to a package that's already been delivered in 2012. Is this just because its not update? Anyone have this issue?

UPS recycles tracking numbers.When the shoes are picked up then the status will change.

preach! when the royal foam ones retroed in 07 for the first time stock was just sitting in stores and mad dudes on this forum hooked up everyone lookin for retail, myself included. I cant even begin to fathom the madness that will ensue when they retro it again... dudes will be selling their kids as slaves on craigslist to get a damn pair. between the concords and the galaxy foams things really started to get crazy and hype aint even close to dying.

Dang, I just realized.... I'm truly old I was born in 72 and still copping Js. Should I see a doctor to get my head checked, NAHHHHH I;m alright  8)

My man!!! I was born in 73. I don't think you need to see a physician. If anyone ever gives you grief about buying Jordans, you tell them what I tell my wife. "Chin up honey. It could always be hookers and dope."
 
F this man, I'm returning my pair as soon as they arrive. Too many lames are all over these. I know that should have no affect on what I wear or purchase but this is ridiculous.

I'm just curious. For the people who were not born when this shoe originally dropped, what is your main reason for wanting these?

Is it because they are that sweet, because MJ was your favorite player, just to buy n sell, to fit in, collect? Just curious?

MJ has always been my favorite player too

Jordan is my favorite player as well. Grew up watching him play every game on tv and on the court with my pops (may he RIP). I buy Jordan's for a few reasons:
1) Sentimental value- reminds me of the good times my pops and I had together ( RIP pops, I love ya boss[emoji]128532[/emoji])
2) Shoes are fire 1's-14's
3) Significance behind them. 1992 Olypmics Championship "Dream Team", Two 3 peat championships (6-7-8 and 11-12-13) all in which I was able to watch happen on tv and
4) Always had the newest Jordan's so I was accustomed to always wearing Jordan's growing up.

My youngest daughter, who is about 8 months now, is also named Jordyn

Question from a desperate man... Anyone know of stores that still have any stock? Would love a 9.5. My 10 is huge on me.
 
Man, I had a chance to get a pair on FNL but the 7.5 size was gone online. Sucks that the 5's are .5 bigger as I am regularly a sz 8. Last time I was lucky on a restock on nike and grabbed the 7.5 size and sent my sz 8 backs(previous V release). I hope I get lucky again when they restock them. sz 7.5 is so limited there gone in seconds!

Grapes were my first Jordans too. I vaguely remember wearing them when I was 3 or 4. I was looking at old family photo albums and saw that after I outgrew them my younger brother wore them.

Who's penny hard away?

My mom called me last week asking me about Jordans, completely random. Just found out she went to 6 different stores to get my baby nephew 2 pairs of size 7C...ruining them young, baby sneakerheads.

Yeah... I stopped by the mall yesterday afternoon rocking my Royal 1's pretending to be looking for the grapes, everyone kept starring at my shoes.   Great feeling when you got everyone wondering about your shoes.
