If shoetrends has kicks in stock the process is painless. Things get a little crazy on pre orders though

I'm not a fan of Shoetrends, I wouldn't suggest anyone pre-order from them
Just looking at NT, I'd like to see how many people actually receive their kicks and not a cancellation e-mail.

Being from Long Island I copped a pair from streetgear last year for $130. Now they will flood the market with them and take away the rarity of the first release. SMH at nike, they release something [ala eggplants] see how well they do, and re-release them. It seems to be the new trend for nike. These will also be available in footlockers, champs and footactions according to a newspaper acticle I read.

normally I wouldn't agree with you, I'm all for nike retros i.e foams being made widely available but I do think it's pretty unfair to make a limited air force 1 then make it un-limited. Imagine if they did that with the cartoons or entourages etc it would take away from their appeal/value.
In saying that I would love to cop the Jones Beach's at retail

Yea this was pretty bad on Nike's behalf. Why would you market a shoe as limited and then flood the market with them? This is why sneaker prices have crashed, instead of focusing on other styles they continuously flood the market with the same stuff that they market as "special" and "limited." If they were going to make this shoe widely available they should have done that last year as well.

If you need something to be limited for it to have appeal then you're definitely in this for the wrong reasons.Originally Posted by teekay

I see both sides. it sucks for people that got them the first round but at least everyone gets their pair. Im still looking for a size 10 since shoetrends dropped the ball and worse part is I LIVE IN NYC!!! I should be able to cop a pair no problem

Nike/JB will keep doing this from now on.
They figure why let the resellers make all the money.

I don't own anything really limited in my 60+ collection I just cop what I like and can afford at the time, just don't think Nike should release something limited like this then again in large numbers I'd prefer them to just release them from the start like that.Originally Posted by DownyBoy

Trust me I'd cop the entourages at the drop of the hat if they were a GR it's my fav show and one of my fav kicks.

Ive been collecting for 15 years, not for nothing, IM IN IT FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. Being from LI and having a sneaker released for LI was pretty exiting for me personally. Not so much now that they're going to be everywhere. I do collect for the rarity sometimes [as ALL collectors of anything would] this was just kind of a smack in the face this time. The area code here is ''516'' and last year they released that many. Im just saying greedy ##$ nike didnt need to re-release them so they are sitting on shelves. Being from NY you see everyone with the same kicks on constantly [coppers, eggs. spacejams] the list goes on and on. And now add jones beach AF1. Im just saying.
