Air Jordan Altitudes 13's: Remember the hype on these?

they started complaing because they were too limited. i never cared for these, i don't like the
shiny midsole and the bumpy leather on back, a very overrated shoe imo.
i couldnt have said it better myself

I remember cats getting held up for these in Jacksonville, and they rushed the Finishline store at Regency mall and broke down the gate. That was the craziestrelease I ever saw and I didnt even like em that much at the time. Still dont

yeah i remember nikewiz, what ever happenned to them?
 
i rememeber being on this board and ppl mention that Niketown NYC was crazy cause they only had limited amounts of these..i think the employees was giving outnumbers the day before so that ppl where secured for there pair
 
these shoes were very nice, but extremely overrated. this release felt like the peak of hype on jordan retros, which opened Nike's eyes on how much moneythey could be making on these shoes. Therefore leading to the decline and release of 10-20 retros a month. "Packs" were non existent, and jordanheads werent forced to buy 2 pairs in one day. It's better today though because people now don't have to wait 3 nights prior to get a pair of kicks. but here's a better question, which was more hyped...these or the grape V's?
 
Tight I passed on these when I coulda got them for retail+shipping...

Overhyped. I don't remember how I got mine but I remember it wasn't easy. Then I rocked them a few times and they just look terrible with jeans on likesome cheap plain black leather shoes. I let them go pretty quickly.
