Air Jordan 6 retro “Carmine” - Nike Air - February 13, 2021

[KanyIZZY]

Ended up w a pair from a local FTL.. 1 pink and now 1 white from EB once they come in. This is BS. Anything not to pay a reseller wherever possible

It’s impossible now though.

Does anybody know if this works at all Hibbetts stores??

The only two in my area are 30 miles apart and they both were doing it.

 

[abovthehorizon]

^What am I missing here?

 

[skills]

I called 1 Hibbets about ordering and she put me on hold and checked for an 11.5 and said they were out of stock. The other 2 just said they didn't have any.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

KINDA NUTS TO REFER TO THOSE ASE FIRE RED 3'S THO

It is what it is.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

No way in hell is this my pair.
A homie let me get a look at his size 10.5

All that & for $200?!
JB...... This **** is unacceptable.

You passing?

 

[teddy45]

These look pink to y’all?

Absolutely

most I’d pay for a DEFECT would be 150-185$ respectfully.

 

[Mr Dink]

Just got shipping info this morning. Now we wait to see if I got a pink pair or not.

SNKRS? Still waiting for mine. Hopefully I get mine soon. I leave outta town this coming Sunday.

That's what I keep saying, I can't even win GR's.

I keep thinking this FLX system is making it easier for local stores to do shady stuff. I can't even win at HOH's.

No, the stores just get the email that’s attached with the winners. No way to manipulate a document that’s sent out to the district stores.

what I think happened with THIS release is a lot of stores “FD’d”more merch than usual.
They used to pink sole excuse as the reason.

it’s like a recall for a product but u “write off” aka Factory Defect the individual merchandise to”keep” it until the audit when all u need is the box with the scanned factory defect.
With this release a lot of stores had to send them back for all sizes. The stores I went to Ended up sending 20-30 pairs per store . Granted maybe 10-15% of those pairs were ACTUALLY defected.

I'm sorry bro but those look absolutely horrendous!!! I mean that looks really bad!! I actually feel disgusted that people went out and supported this terrible production quality.

At some point shoe fanatics have to understand as a paying customer, we can't just accept anything ol' thing. That's like selling a Ferrari with a broken door handle on it and people still going out and buying it up "hoping" they get a car that has a fixed handle.

What kind of message does that sent?

Nike/JB/MJ and their shareholders laughing all the way to the bank... Watch the next round of white midsole retro 6s also have this issue since they bought too much pink paint and they know customers don’t care nowadays and will buy them anyways

 

[therealest1]

Sorry loser a%$ resellers are going to be lurking at the outlets waiting for the f'd up pairs of these Carmine VI to end up there like this now.

 

[rooster]

Gone are the days where you could randomly walk into an outlet and find some good retros
Damn shame

 

[ejb]

I’m not paying any money for a shoe with terrible craftsmanship like a damn pink midsole. Younger me may of looked past it. Me now just laughs and puts the move you back in my pocket. JB going back to their old ways?

Gentry is back and we are back to the 2007ish crap.

 

[D_eezus]

Damn shame

Not even exclusive to retros. Anything decent they
scoop

A lot of my local bulk buyers. Will eat up ANYTHING that’s a good deal to either flip or the they are buying from people in other countries, in my personal experience and from talking to them it’s for their clients back in china and other asian countries for numerous different reasons.

 

[rooster]

Yeah plus these guys hit up the outlets everyday right when it opens
So when good stuff does show up it’s usually gone within that day or so
Oh well
Hopefully when these hit the outlets some of us can eat

 

[staffsgtdignam]

Gone are the days where you could randomly phone into any outlet across the country and find some good retros that they would ship to you for free
Damn shame

FTFY

Gone that morning actually. These outlets have regular bulk buyers and even worse, store associates will have numerous items set aside for them as soon as the doors open. It's cringe worthy.

If or when the Carmines hit outlets they likely won't make it through the day given the current sneaker climate.

Copped off GOAT for my bid of $290, am I happy? Absolutely not. Is this, and will this be a regular practice of mine? Absolutely not. This was 1 of 2 planned sneaker purchases for me for the year. I can sorta live with this decision. Idk if prices are gonna dip much lower than what they are now. I'm getting cement 4 vibes from this cw in terms of paying resell.
