Air Jordan V "Black Grapes" QS

[lbrigs]

The blak/grape V's dont look that bad pic/vid wise.. I guess little things like that dont urk me because I like the mold of the 5's and like the colors.. I guess you can compare these to the foams how ppl were tripping because "lint" was on the shoes out the box.. I just wiped mines off like no big deal and wore them.. I bet they will look nice in person and on feet when not so much detail in on the shoe rather than your clothes and your appearance.

Rip Hamilton is such an annoying attention ho whether on the court with his annoying accessories i.e. that ugly face mask. I mean the guy broke his nose years ago, it doesn't take that long to heal.

He broke his nose, years ago, for about the 3rd time. Doctors told him that if he broke his nose again, he wouldn't be able to do any physical/contact activities EVER again. The mask is there to try and prevent that from happening. smdh

Yep.

I wouldn't doubt that hes required or ''encouraged'' by the NBA to wear it due to insurance purposes etc.

plus he also feels comfortable with it. its part of him. he wont play without it. amare is the same way now.

Your statement made me recall a guy who worked with me on a job 4 years ago. He told me he used to own a sneaker store in the 90s when he lived in New Jersey, I think Newark to be exact. Anyways, he told me he was always busy around the 1st of the month because a lot of his clientele were on welfare.

They even dubbed the 1st of the month "Mother's Day" out there according to him. I guess its a Jersey thing, and no I ain't quoting that South Park episode that lampooned Jersey Shore. The welfare peeps designated it that because they were thankful their mothers gave birth to them which gave them an opportunity to collect welfare.

At least they weren't rappers with record deals with an album released coming in limos being on camera with their welfare checks like how the late, great Ol' Dirty Bastard did on MTV that time in 1995 I believe. It don't get more ghetto than that!

That ODB/Big Baby Jesus bit collecting his welfare checks was classic. Dude had some major screws loose.

And now off the court, he has to constantly show off his supply of Jordan stuff. Yes, we already know he's a JB guy. And we already know what the upcoming retro sneaks look like, its called the internet.

With all the attention he needs and wants, I swear he's actually a woman trapped in a stick figure man's body. He just seeks attention worse than a woman.

True story. Maybe it's reverse psychology??? Lol

 

[1c3m4m]

Lol why is he mad at Rip tho? I love seeing his pics of his pe's and pickups, imagine the heat he HASNT shown? You know he must have some sick pe's, i know yall seen the gold/green 11's Ray worn, so the possibilities are endless, the black grapes in rip pic makes me want to buy but i will have to see em in person

 

[therealest1]

If you guys see a player wearing or posting photos of their sneaks, you shouldn't let it dictate your decision to get something in particular. You should get it if you like it yourself after seeing it in person. Make the assessment based on you. This is America anyways so you do have your freedom of choice.

There is such a thing called surgery. That clown has the money and insurance for it so he should've gotten it. Like I said, he needs attention wearing a mask like the Kardashian family. I wouldn't be shocked if he's a long lost black family member of theirs with all that attention prostituting.

Legitimate superstars don't need gimmicks or accessories like Hamilton wears. Real superstars like Magic, Bird, MJ, and Kobe let their games earn their deserved attention for their play on the court.

 

[therealest1]

Im pretty sure he wears the mask for luck. IMO hes a attention ***** on IG not on the court.

Do you feel the same way about CP3 or Melo? They IG PEs that we will NEVER get all the time. I would have more of a issue with that then him showing a pair that is coming out. Helps some of us make a decision on whether or not to cop.

Perhaps the biggest attention ho ever is Gilbert Arenas. That clown would do anything for attention, even ignorantly incurring legal repercussions for stupidly bringing guns to his workplace. Thank heaven he's no longer in the league, it doesn't need attention seeking ******s like that.

You sound like a straight up you know what man. Cut it out you're a male son.

 

[therealest1]

And the ashy comments and feedback continues to plague this shoe today. Yes, its still keeping me on the fence about trying to get them or not. I guess if the June 15 release date is accurate, it buys me more time to think about them.

Just speaking my mind, not here to sugarcoat anything I'm thinking. Yes, I'm a male, one who speaks his mind. I value my right to free expression thank you. "Have a nice day!" - Mankind

Ron Artest aka Metta Worldpeace also comes to mind

Repped for addressing that before I did. I wonder what dude thinks about Amare.

 

[jaysfordays9]

can we get back to the shoes?

[SteveSteve72]

can we get back to the shoes?

Sounds like a good idea.

do you REALLY think its a coincidence major jordans retros are spaced out to release every 2 weeks!? Smarten up

Thank you JB marketing 101... That last part was unnecessary, but no need to bring up my educational background up on this forum. Most people generally get paid every two weeks...On another note, to prove your point WRONG....what OH SO MAJOR retro is being released on the first, that these were pushed back two weeks later??? Ill wait....

the main reason they delayed them is the black toes on the 25th, plus tons of restocks that same day. they didnt want the black grapes to "sit". they want instant sellouts like hollywood wants major first weekends. They delayed it to give the people time to get paid. its common sense. look at the dates 6/15 these.. 6/29 playoffs, 7/13 etc

nah its production issues...they did a short run on wc3 88 and right now the factories are at 100% operating then account chinese labor day was 10 days ago...the success of the grapes have them rethinking the qs on these now 

 

[therealest1]

This shoe makes me think it was something that should have came out 23 years ago, but didn't, and JB just came up with the idea to milk this line since there's demand for it now.

so you also think its a coincidence that also looking ahead in august the 3 major releases ( fire red 3, green 4, fire red 5) are spread out exactly 2 weeks between them?
