Well majority of the folks complaining are the ones that keep buying should know what to expect from JB no surprises here will I wear mine ? Yes.  Do I expect to get the most out of them them playing B-Ball or as a daily shoe? Nope.  Remastered or not these were coming into my collection just glad this year has been kind to me with the majority of releases I've wanted.

Hey Guys, new here from Australia, but being referencing this forum for a few months. Thanks for all the excellent knowledge here.


So I'm mid 30's and when I was 13 I started collecting Jordan's until I was 20. Spewing my feet grew two sizes since then from 9-10.5.

Anyway, as to the comment above, a few months ago I couldn't sleep and started thinking about my favourite shoes as a teenager, the black/infrared sixes. Wondered if I could maybe find someone online selling them but knew it would be impossible to find a pair.
To my surprise u started reading that they actually released them again, twice. Though after investigation all I heard was complaints about them. So back to lookong for the originals and then thanks to forums I realised even if I could buy a new old pair, that they would probably break apart due to age.

A few weeks later and damn was I happy to realise I woke up in the ear of Jordan releasing every original six. Seriously, what a year to start thinking and craving Jordan sixes. After 23 years I just suddenly think about getting my favourite shoes I ever owned and they are dropping every few weeks. Fully Stoked! (that's my real name by the way - Fully Stoked- changed it by deed poll a few years back as I was always getting pulled up by cops and wanted it on my license).

So I've started spending around $1500 a week on Jordan's for past two months and I've realised just how easy it is to buy Jordan's. Some people get desperate and we have this classifieds website in Australia that get around 10 new Jordan listing a day. Retail over here is $220aud, which is about $250usd. Couple weeks back I got carmines for $220 (retail). Infrared for $240 and my missus lined up for me for the sport blues and there was only ten people in line. What's great is we found out you don't even have to line up anymore as the week of release you put in a expression of interest at footlocker and they call your name out for you. I saw pictures in this thread of people waiting 100 long lines. These dropped in about twenty stores over here and they still have sizes from 10 and upwards all over. Far too easy to cop these.
Im just the black infrared from having all the sixes I owned when I was a teenage criminal. Carmines, infrared black, infrared white, sport blue. Went to my parents home and got all my collection from when I was a teen and supposed to see I only wore the other shoes two or three times and are in mint condition. The black infrared though we're smashed. Sole coming off, leather ripped everywhere etc.

Anyway, I spend so much time in here lately I thought I'd sign up and introduce myself and I also wanted to put a tip out there I have never seen mentioned and ask a question.....

I've watched some YouTube videos of amazing replica sixes and I then spent hours trying to find the key to spotting fakes from the best fakes and I couldn't find it so thought I'd share what I noticed.

If you look below the first lace cross replicas have a bunch of perforated holes and originals have three.

The big thing I found though that I can't find mentioned is if you look at the ankle support, that bulged part. There is 7 holes coming down along side it on one side of the shoe, and six on the other side of the shoe.
The best replicas I seen video of all had seven holes on both sides. The worst have any stupid number, but I thought that six holes and seven on each side was a good spot, which I haven't read anywhere.

Also I wanted to know if anyone can post a picture highlighting the Jordan sole and showing where the number two is on the sole. I remember the sole is meant to read 23, but I can either only find the 3, or looking at the three from another name it looks like a 2. I'm sure you're meant to see 2 and 3 together though. I know it's on the upper. Outs the sole that's really bugging me.

Also if anyone has trouble getting sport blues I'd be happy to help out from Australia so long as I can work out a way to trust you'll pay me for them once they arrive. I wouldn't ask for anything lore than the cost price but it's probably not worth it to you guys in the states as our retail price is probably your guys reseller price.
I also read somewhere that nike australia is restocking carmines. I cant believe how many are for sale on this Australian classified site for $20 above our retail.

One more question....
I find the red material on the carmines down near the toes is really tight on my feet. The other sixes are all TTS for me but these ones pull from the sides scrapping the toes and I'm wondering if that is going to be the material used on the infrared black sixes? Does anyone know?

I'm sorry last question...
We got a guy over here already selling Jordan six black infrareds.... How can this be possible? If they aren't released how can he already be selling them and have them in stock? He is known for originals, so I'm wondering if you guys would know how he gets them. They don't have original boxes though.

Anyway sorry for the long reply, I've had a few things I wanted to say and ask for weeks now and figured I'd sign up and spit it all out.

Thanks for the Jordan book of knowledge.

Btw, wasn't a fan of the true blue sport 3's but damn they are growing in me. You take a good look at them for long enough and I think they really start looking better and better. I'm thinking these will be something everyone will want in their collection one day. With them being the last sport 3's being released for a while, and maybe that for awhile goes for a decade or so as maybe Jordan is remastering their promises as well I think the sport blue threes are worth coping. I know I don't know **** but they are fine shoes in person with a real old school feel with the colourway. Even though it's new.


Well thanks for putting up with my long assss post.

 

[ozskydiver]

Damn that really was long. Sorry.

Well thanks for putting up with my long assss post.

If you've been following this forum for months now, u should already know the answers to all these questions. And we all know about the replica videos on YouTube.

 

[anthracite8s]

Ya know ur exactly right. I do need to join that. Prob go for the gold club membership tho.

there's really no need for it unless you want the one time discount code real bad. I have silver and I get my stuff within a day or 2 everytime. I do live a little closer to the shipping origin than most but I don't think ATL would increase shipping by anymore than 1 day tops

Always someone who has to be a jerk to the new guy in the forums.

I never said you didn't know anything about replica videos on YouTube. I said something I noticed on them. Had you noticed what I pointed out?

Btw, how the fuk come you get to speak for every single person in this forum?
Who are you to take that all high and mighty position where you speak for every other person whose a member here?

I'm guessing the answer to that is a twelve year old Muppet who gets mummy to pay for his shoes if he is a good boy and goes to the dentist. Clown.

 

[rgs87gn]

Well said Oz. Hate when one random **** tries to speak for the masses.

Lol ok guy. I spoke for everyone cause its common sense. And yes I have noticed the perforated holes on the fake 6s. All that info is in the legit check part of the site. Which is where I spent most of time here helping people decipher between legit and fake shoes. So I think I know a thing or two about fakes and what is commonly known throughout the forum. And sorry no kid here. 25+. And wasn't trying to be a jerk either. Slow your role player, your the newb here, not me.

 

[airsully23]

everyone was new once

Sorry Sir. It's just that you sound like a twelve year old. You're also really terrible at apologies. You say sorry and then tell me to check myself.

Sounds like a twelve year.

 

[ozskydiver]

Sorry peeps. Please continue. These are good threads, and I don't want to be the cause of this thread losing its amazing run of being abuse free.

Kermit can keep his moaning, I'm ignoring.

I dont see how I can SOUND like a 12 year old through a non verbal typed message. And i wasn't apologizing either.

 

[ogretro4me]

Did not read the new guys research paper.. Who tf got time to read that? Better yet who has time to write it? Can we limit characters on here or something mods?

 

[ryanjumpman420]

Sorry peeps. Please continue. These are good threads, and I don't want to be the cause of this thread losing its amazing run of being abuse free.

Shouldn't have came in here and disrupted it with your long *** soliloqy about nothing. Carry on now.

 

[ryanjumpman420]

U got a thing with 12 year old boys or something? Is that what u want me to be? Nutcase.

 

[Magic33]

Even Proto would be amazed at that

 

[fresh out dabox]

 

you could of wrote one word in each thread and got at least a 1000 post.

 

[rcjbbp1313]

so after finally seeing these in person i don't know how you guys can honestly say you like these. yes they havent retrod but this is a disgrace to 6s, shape looks bad, quality looks bad (not the worst but for that price its horrible), the blue tinted soles looks like garbage i mean how much blue does a blue and white shoe need? the ones i saw the paint jobs were horrible and i flat out didnt even give them a second look they were that bad. i truly truly think that JB has most of us by the balls for some reason and i understan the "if i dont get this colorway it may never release again" thought process but this is bad. i remember seeing OG pics and saying "man those look clean and i wish i had a pair" but those things at the store werent anything i would buy. sorry for the rant but im at a loss of words for people going HAM on trash and it happens with lots of releases which is why JB aint changing ish for many years to come cuz yall cant pass on junk for $150+

 

[ryanjumpman420]

there's really no need for it unless you want the one time discount code real bad. I have silver and I get my stuff within a day or 2 everytime. I do live a little closer to the shipping origin than most but I don't think ATL would increase shipping by anymore than 1 day tops

They've been taking 4 business days to deliver on my purchases. I wouldn't really care for the faster shipping so much as I care about the discounts that come with the silver and gold memberships. I'll prob just do what u said to do and get the silver. I buy alot of other stuff from eastbay besides shoes so i think It's def worth the $10 imho.

 

[squatchnt]

All retros are trash compared to the originals when Nike/JB was trying to get 'put on'. If quality is what you looking to spend ya bread on you in the wrong section of NT. Sounds like you already know this but want others to be upset with their purchase. If anything JB got you by the balls.

 

[seriouslynogame]

hey, no worries, he is probably a pothead judging by his 420 handle, americans are generally ********** anyway, welcome buddy!  

No we aren't
