Jordan XIV Black Toe - November 2, 2024

[sharpshooter718]

That's the biggest difference over the past ten to fifteen years.

You used to have one big retro a month. Then it became two and they did it according to most peoples pay weeks. Then it became every weekend. I'm shocked when there's not a Jordan release on a Saturday.

Look at the OG 1, it used to be what, about four a year? Then you started getting one every month and throw in a low to go with it.

It's over saturation, who is buying up all these kicks? That's why I'm looking at all these new New Balance and Asics fans, wondering, do you realize most of those kicks basically all look the same? You aren't thinking long term and are just trying to fit in.

New balance has a nice variety of models and colorways. You can dive deep in NB and come out with an appreciation for the dad shoe...I buy mostly new balance and Jay's. Jordan been dropping different colorways for the same 3-4 models the last 5 years so it's kinda redundant

Reminds me of the Boost phase, now those are a thing of the past

Facts. In 2-4 years a lot of ppl are gonna be sitting on too many Asics/NB'S. I try to tell my youngins. I did the same thing with ultraboost/NMD's during their wave. Thats why now I just buy what I know I like which is Jordans and ill get a "popular" shoe every now and then but changing your whole closet out for trendy shoes is just hypebeast behavior. Same dudes on IG with all these asics, are the same dudes that had all the jordan 1's 4 years ago, and had all the Yeezy boost in 2018. Just hypebeast smh

Thanks for sharing. What are your thoughts? Do you think if they retroed the XXI or XXII we would see the samething in Detroit or Virginia? Gangs are using those symbols there as well.

I don't think so. Different time, different era.

I had someone comment on a pair of my New Balance, and I was like, yeah, these are Aime Leon Dore's and I got a blank look. Then I started thinking, yeah, these look just like normal GR New Balance.

Glad to see little to no hype on these.

Still a day one cop for retail for me.

Will look to get the double up on discount or thru trade.

Raffle?

 

[allergic2broke]

My footlocker app is showing this release is ship to me only. Interesting.

 

[knowbeentrite]

It's a GR, pretty sure. I'll call around some places tomorrow or Thursday, as I literally plan on walking into my local shoe palace and leaving without effort.

They still do but these aren’t listed as having EA…

 

[allergic2broke]

Not getting good vibes on this release. Hope Im wrong.

Same with me, I was rocking the 991v1 YOX... shorty at work said "I like those new balances". I need to grab a pair. Then I explained how they were made in UK and somewhat limited. She was like , "ehh ok"...lolololololol

 

[da r entertainment]

They still do but these aren’t listed as having EA…

Next EA for FNL for sure will be the BC3s and possibly the Fear 4s.

 

[trappedintime]

DSG doesn’t show them on the calendar. Wonder if they’re treating these more like a boutique release. Kinda lame cause I wanted to have these in hand for my birthday weekend but I guess I’ll have to wear the crappy 2014’s and wait on em to arrive

 

[urbanmiracle]

So no stores gonna have these in store this Saturday? Was hoping just to get up early and cop out the door…

Not sure where you’re located but City Gear maybe a good option… I have like 7 near me and they’re all FCFS
