my fault for the double photos, mobile

 

[sickickz23]

Damn sorry it happened. Probably the person authenticating via sneaker con is a milennial and only got into sneakers recently. Culture vulture. Probably never knew bc3s had a jumpman on the back prior to 2018.

Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of the 2001 Retro release.

Speaking of these, I remember my brother joined the Marines after HS in the early 90’s. Around ‘94, after being stationed in Okinawa, Japan, he came back with the ‘94 release of these. It was a shock because he was not into sports in any shape, way or form. Seeing him wear J’s was weird.

I don't miss Oki! There were some really cute Japanese girls, though. Jordans were stupid cheap back them.

Funny you mentioned that. He actually kept in touch with a girl he met out there. And yea, he said he bought them for dirt cheap out there.

Not mine but the white laces look crack

 

[cucumbercool]

i had to finally buy 63 in laces for my 3s. grew tired of lacing mines too tight for a bow. a little long but shrug

 

[rooster]

A little long?!
Good lacelord!

 

[crumps brother]

[Junok]

White laces actually look fire on that pic.

 

[da hen]

To each their own, but I’m definitely not feeling those white laces.

That Elephant Print is spectacular. Please post the other shoe.. I am trying to get me a pair with that elephant print. These had some serious Quality Control issues.

Was going thru my 3 DS pairs last night
One pair is glittered pretty bad and the left shoe Nike air on the back is yellowing
Other 2 pairs are fine
Another sign that I need to start wearing all my shoes…

Man I bought 4 pairs and sold all but 1 I work and only got 2 feet and on top of that I got other shoes still ds so the double and triple up with me now all depends on the shoe

 

[ozboi]

Good thing they retroed a few years back and not now… just imagine if they did it now…. Most pairs would be on StockX/GOAT and no one would wear em

 

[wackazz]

I’ll take anyone’s glittered ds size 12

 

[rooster]

I was doing some serious inspector gadget on all three pairs
Flaws everywhere lol
Uneven elephant print
Mismatch leather on toeboxes
Crooked Nike air
I was trying to decide which pair to un’ds lol
It’s definitely not gonna be the glittered pair with yellow Nike air
I’ll clean that right up and ship to StockX

 

[truenike81]

The best pair I had came from finishline

 

[rooster]

I’ve had pretty good luck with pairs from finishline
The worst retros I tend to get from like shiekh and shoe palace for some reason
Jacked up shoes with jacked up boxes

 

[rooster]

Oh now I remember where I got that glittered pair from
Some spot in China called kix files
It was a pre order I paid like $220 shipped
Hope it isn’t fake or anything
Others on here placed orders also
Haven’t heard anything negative about it
But you never know
I think only authentic pairs actually glitter

So I got a DS pair off ebay back in Feb before the pandemic for my son to grow into as he asked about having my pair when he could fit into it. Selfishly I didn't want to be without a BC3, so I needed another pair for him. I got it for retail; it was some mom getting rid of her kid's collection or something. Anyway, the EP and shape and "leather" quality was better than mine, but I kept them DS until not too long ago. They glittered pretty badly. My pair, which has a lot of wear, has no glitter.

Given the prices, I'm thinking, nope, my 12 year old doesn't need to be wearing a $500 pair of shoes. He can choose a diff pair from my collection, so I cleaned off the glitter and sold them at market price. In '18 I actually hit on these on EA & on release day; I picked the better pair and returned the other one b/c I don't like messing with resale to make like $40 (back then at least)....should have kept them!

I'm truly hoping none of the shoes I want (ex. WC3, FR3, Military 4) retro any time soon as it's nuts; though will the market cool off in the next few years, or will we look back and think that this time period wasn't actually that bad....?!
