well yeah that's what i meant... MJ's personal pairs... those factories can crank out clear soles, but people are buying them with the blue tint. probably makes production easier too

 

[deezrsackolishus]

Hell yeah playa

Same soles on all three xi. Super simple and maximize profit.

That and charging americans more than retail for **** they are getting for probably $30 a pair....or less

 

[castomere]

Any thoughts on the grey market Black Grapes?

Definitely less. But Nike and Jordan do the same damb thing.

 

[deezrsackolishus]

Hahah the one shoe i bet GM is better quality !

Jk

But i would be heated if i got an ashy pair

 

[jchambers]

Any thoughts on the grey market Black Grapes?

I got a pair and they are dead on. Not ashy either. Great quality and fit exactly like retails.

 

[jyung101]

What comparison pics do y'all see?? I see 3 pairs of grey markets?? Or is one pair GM other ones real? Just trying to figure out what's going on

naw dont think so, back in the day i spoke to a few of these sellers and shoes are pretty expensive for them is what they all said.

they aint getting no damn shoes for $30. maybe if Jordans werent popular yea but look at the prices of Jordans now, resell value, and how crazy people go to get them early. These mobsters or who ever is pulling the strings aint sellin shoes at $30 a piece.

Even if your fam is the source?

Them taobao sellers are in with or ARE the source

Maybe the american resellers like randy and sds pay more. But my bet is if ur buyin it from overseas, they are making that guap


And oh hell yeah nike does it?

Hell it used to cost them less than $7 to make a pair of jordans sellin for 160.

Even on the wholesale thats BANK.

 

[Mr Dink]

I think the price Nike is selling the shoes to the stores is like, $90 or something.

My dad is friends with a former executive for Adidas Philippines and he said that they markup their shoes by 100 percent. Might be the same or Jordan's and Nike's. That was a long time ago though.

did i hear a echo? sounds like **** i been saying from day one. bout time da news is finally going around.

 

[frenchbreadbuilds]

cycle continues

yes, its roughly 50% of the retail price of the shoe

Yeah we had to let em know even mr ninjahood himself had to admit we can tell the difference with the xi.

those grey market icy bottom space jams dont come close to surpassing the 09 space jams. My boy has a pair of the taboos and its like night and day. I compared my 09 pair to them and you can easily tell the difference

Umm anyone that says the 09s look better than those GMs posted above is either blind or delusional. The cut and quality used on the 2009 jams was the exact same as the disgraceful CDP blk/reds.

2009 Jams are straight trash just like the CDPs.


Those GMs look just like my 01s sans the "JAM" tongu label and gummier soles.

 

[htxstunna]

I see alot of those SJ on CL here in Houston. Look just like those pics

Thanks for backing up my clams. When I get my 2001 pairs back from restoration, I will do more comparisons, but I know that show because I wore it daily. Minus the jumpman jam, these are just like my 2001 pair. Thicker patent, softer midsoles and comfort is on point. I would swear this was that shoe and not the retros of late. AND I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING FOR 20+ YEARS AND HAVE OG'S TO COMPARE IT TOView media item 459301View media item 459302
Patent cut on these jams compared to my of concords are on point. Sorry. It is no denying. And my thoughts are these are even better than the official release pairs. JB got a problem on there hands.

 

[deezrsackolishus]

Haha yeah a big "problem"
Nike got such big problems, riots and madness actually make this company more money


When jordans start sitting for days on NDC,
THATS when nike got problems


And taobao got their hands full with the new wave of dudes willing to cop fakes....


At waaaay higher prices
