Air Jordan Defining Moment Package Appreciation Thread

[nointroneeded]

if only I was into Jordan when these came out...AHHH!

 

[janniely]

um a little tight i missed that pack

 

[mbilla4rilla]

Love that pack! Need the XI's bad.

 

[jc619er]

Definitely the best pack of all time but the worst one to ever get. In San Diego it was the biggest nightmare of all time. There was about 60 pairs in all of the city and half of those were at the Naval Base so that meant really about 30. So one footlocker got 22 pairs, two Sheiks got 5 pairs each and one specialty shop got 5 pairs. LAME. Thinking of that day still puts a bad taste in my mouth. A city of 2 million people and we get 60 pairs. Garbage.

[othelloxtwon]

damn...i slept on the these back then because I didn't want to deal with the lines and stuff

regretted it down the line.

nice post OP

i was actually locked away in prison when these came out(changed my life,gave it to the lord) but my brother-in-law who wears a sz10 copped a sz13 in hopes of reselling..long story short he actually had them when i got out and let me get them for $400.00..i ended up splitting the pack about a year ago and selling them..dumbest move ever.

 

[gottig10]

anyone got any more pics? stories?

 

[lex venture]

the dmp have been the only shoes that i have camped out for n totally worth it, my xi mesh is looking kinda yellow tho, does anyone know where i can buy rit in the los angeles area

 

[gotkickz290]

easily one of the most cherished pieces of my collection...

camped at roosevelt field mall when i used to live in long island...got there at like 4 with no chance of getting em but still waited to see what would happen...probably one of the craziest releases i've ever been to...people got trampled, robbed, etc. long story short didn't get mine on RD but copped about a year ago for $600 DS off the bay...both 6s and 11's have been worn several times but still look amazing...best quality release aside from og's of course

 

[gotkickz290]

i'll post some recent pics as soon as i get home...photobucket is blocked here at work lol

 

[mjshoefanatic]

I second that

 

[sc415]

I remember when they came out I was in the 10th grade.
Tought it would be an easy cop, pshh I was wrong
Sold out in ntsf. Didn't end up copping.

 

[chrismatic413]

IMO, the only must-have "pack" to be conceptualized by JB

 

[wagonracer7]

Wasn't able to get em being I didn't have the money but definitely want the pack, just don't see myself dropping how much people are asking for on this pack. Amazing pack none the less.

 

[loskickking23]

I luv my pair......................Still havnt gotten a chance to wear mine yet.....By far the best pack ever!!!!

Those cool greys look so fresh, cant wait to buy another pair when and if they drop.

 

[dmoney23444]

Ill never forget this release....i had 9 packs on release day....so these 2 ended up being free + $$ to blow.

 

[gotkickz290]

^^^^ nice

 

[youngcurse]

these pics reminded me how broke i was back then 4 yr later i got stacks on deck. Whats the current market on these in a 13. i think JB should release this pack but in white/silver colorway for the anniversary release.
