In some areas...yes..I wouldn't doubt it...and if that doesn't work you can always try stock locating.

I think thats the case with these. for one, the leather is more tumbled (which is closer to the 1988 originals than the 2003s). the toebox is narrower than the 2003s, which the 1994 retros got right. also, the padding and fitting is similar to the 1994 retros.

i also noticed that these dont look extra glossy in person. and i like the fact that midsole isnt shiny. the paint job is reminiscent of the recent IXs, meaning that it will probably be just as durable.

I can't believe it. Three years ago if these had released it would have been madness. That definitely made my day. I've been waiting a long time to finally buy these. Definitely my favorite pair of sneakers ever. As for quality it's decent but the true test will be to see how long they go before cracking. Hoping it's not horrible like the '07 Fire Reds. But the box and the presentation of these shoes was definitely top grade. I gotta give JB some credit on making an overall quality retro release that was fairly easy to come by. 
Think it didn't sell as well because of the increase of price. I don't think many people are willing to spend over $150 on shoes. Especially since the CG XI's just released last December. If you think about it, same thing happened last year after the Space Jams released then the Bred VI's releaed Jan '10, it didn't sell out and I saw them sitting for a good minute. All in all, glad everyone got their pairs and hopefully people that didn't find their size will find it soon.

Good pick up guys!

95% of everything retro coming out of Beaverton is inferior and overpriced.  And that's why my retro purchases between Nike and JB have declined from 15-25 a year to about 3-5 a year.  Nothing new.
Wow, some heads I recognize!!!! Sup with it Noble & ChiTown!!!  My retro & JB purchase is around 1-2 if that since the quality does suck. Tend to buy more of the newer technology running shoes now.  Comfortable as hell!!!


 What up!  Bron's and air maxes for me.

Anyone else notice this description on Nike.com? They are mixing the history of the Air Jordan 2 & the Air Jordan 3.


Ummm Jordan wore the II's during the 1987 dunk contest versus Jerome Kersey in the final... He wore the III's during the 1988 dunk contest versus Dominique Wilkins in that final... Know your history kiddo..

I was at Bayfair mall at around noon time and was able to scoop up a 10.5. Lady said they had about 20 pairs left with size 11 and up but are probably gone by now.
I need a 10.5 and they didn't have anymore and FL lake merritt had a 13 at closing.

Try NTSF. did a phone order there around 8 pm and it seemed like that had plenty of sz

try calling around southland too
