Air Jordan XI Retro - White/Concord/Black - CONFIRMED - Holiday 2011

[rl_wayne]

Wow...this whole thing's got some people spooked enough that they're checking pairs that are supposed to be authentic from regular retailers. Some of y'all just need to calm down and back away, not everything's fake or A+++ replicas or grey sneakers or whatever the hell you wanna call them. If you're that paranoid, just cop on retail and avoid all the potential BS, these won't be that hard to find or get if the release is anything like the Cool Greys from last year.

I assume you ordered from SDS? I ordered on August 5th...order #546. I hit "him" up on twitter last night askingif ALL the tracking was sent out, and he said No. I then said "your day is half way over...yougonna ship THROUGH the weekend?" He said "Not shipping over weekend." so, I'd venture to guess us higher numbers will get tracking by this coming Wednesday. TOTAL speculation though.

Generaiya just received an e-mail from PayPal:






"Hello Generaiya,

A review of the transaction below raised a suspicion that it may have not been authorized. As a result, we've reversed this transaction."

Surprise, surprise. The payment that was reversed was Genraiya's order from SlamDunkSpace. Generaiya has a very good credit card, and they have prevented him from making bad overseas purchases before. Generaiya had requested a refund for his two orders on Monday and was waiting patiently for his refund. While SDS refunded one order on Wednesday, the larger order (a dozen pair of Concords) had not been refunded.




Did not expect to have a hard time getting a refund, but very interesting that PayPal detected fraud with this purchase . . .

Type X thinks it could be just due to the volume of transactions going through their paypal that flagged their account.

200 pairs x 300 = 60k randomly when he might normally be moving 1-5k a month.

inside the tag date saids it was made on 2010, dont remember the exact date but i will take pics later on, just hate going through all those shoe boxes lol

C'mon bro. That's like asking why the Air Max 95's I bought last week have a 2011 production date. 

Obviously you haven't read.  He's saying the launch date of the sneakers were 2009, he brought them in 2010 with 2010 production dates.  Meaning its quite possible for Nike to still create shoes after the launch date.

 

[solesearch22]

finally talked to AR about this. He said that the shoes they had up to begin with were very early production models. But the shoes him and SDS are shipping out are the same shoes and are the same shoes that any other early release site will be shipping too. He said there is absolutely no difference and ALL of these shoes are coming from NIKE directly. He said his website says 100% authentic and if they weren't authentic he'd be selling shoes for no reason because he would gladly refund the money for a fake shoe.

Like I said from the beginning, I don't think these are fake, I just think these people have good connections and know people in high places (or low places lol), if anything I think that they jumped on advertising a little bit early. i.e got pics from their supplier first and threw them on their site, I am pretty sure they go into production this early for a reason, they produced, sent to Nike, Nike said change this change that, so now they're producing again. AR and SDS are not gonna send out thousands of shoes that Nike didn't approve. If they're fake then they're fake and I got, got, oh well, not a big deal, still cop on RD from FL too, but all of this he said she said talk with no proof either way is too much, everybody is reachin right now.

Just sit back and wait til all the shoes come in...and then start comparing this and that, wait til the proof is in your hands before you try to prove anything. But on another note, still waiting for my tracking to activate

heh, good try.   But no one is going to take this info straight from AR seriously, he's the person selling them after all. 

Anyway, we'll see what happens.

Only thing bout that is the pic AR posted with all his kicks... He musta got a $#!+ load of early productions cuz all his pairs had that translucent sole. And SDS pairs had that cloudy toe. Not bashing AR or calling him a liar but that's just the first thing I thought when I read this. I want my pair soI can check these out already.

good try? I wasn't trying to do anything, I was just relaying what he has told me. I have been 50/50 with this thing the whole way, I am not saying anything is fake or real before I see it myself.

As for the pic with all of the see through toes, that throws me off too, but he is claiming that his shoes are the same ones SDS has and the same ones anyone selling these early has. So, I will just wait and see

x2. let it all out people.

Like I said before, its a cut throat business....maybe other sites are claiming that someone is selling "fakes" because they didn't have the funds to buy the shoes at the time. Maybe all these people that are making all these accusations are working for, or promoting a website that didn't get their pairs. Maybe AR and SDS paid more for the shoes from their source then they usually do, for more pairs because they knew people would buy them like hot cakes and there was money to be made. 
I have never bought from any early release site before(until a few days ago from SDS), but it seems that AR and SDS are at the top of the list right (correct me if I'm wrong)? They bought out the competitions supply and now these other sites are mad cause they are losing money and will say whatever to make people think twice and order from them when they get there pairs in the near future.

Lets think about it, only AR and SDS got a bunch of pairs and every other site was pretty limited correct? Before it was more evenly spread out, but now that they missed out they are salty...Nobody wants to spill the beans on where they get them from cause they know that its a shady business and don't want their source to get in serious trouble, thus losing money. Same goes for people that have good connect at FTL/FA/Champs etc. When someone says how you got those on lock or how you getting employee discounts? You ain't telling...

Just my 2 cents about the recent "developments" from all these posters who we never really heard of before.....

I don't endorse any of these sites, just patiently waiting for my pair to come in

the irony.

Anyway, we'll see what happens.

I think that the shoes were produced from a Nike factory, but I think that they were approved/disapproved by Nike. If Air Randy or Jay are selling fakes, it is not done intentionally. They probably have the real deal. But don't be suprised if the shoe look like B-grades. At the same time retail stores have sold shoes that have flaws, but still considered A-grade.Now, I want to go back to the topic of the translucent vs. Opaque soles at the toe cap. Last year at the end of November, I purchased a pair of Cool Greys from a legit ebay seller. The toe cap is translucent like the previous models. Everything else looks legit. The only reason that I brought them a month earlier due to a final for one of my classes for my Masters degree. At the end it was worth it, because I received an "A" in the class. So I am not certain if my shoe is 100% legit, B-grade, or even fake. What's your assessment on this. Thanks!!!
