MN World Premier: Air Jordan "Bordeaux" VII 2011 VIA Modern Notoriety

Well this was my first major new release sneaker purchase in a while, and I learned alot. First off, I let the hype get in my mind, and I'm not gonna lie but these forums contributed GREATLY to that. I've been checkin out this forum for like 3 weeks now and the pre-hype for this shoe was THROUGH THE ROOF. I'm not gonna lie, I got mixed in with this hype last night because alot of dudes on here just put that notion (that these are gonna go insanely quick) in my head. When midnight came last night, I learned how all this really goes down. Lesson learned.
So from this point on, I know how to handle sneaker releases. The true blue's are gonna be a joke to get, def gonna be mass produced like these, lol it's gonna be so funnie when early sellers like pys get em early and sell em for like 189.99 and stupid people will still make em sell out quick, BUT NOT ME. Oh, and one more thing, the concords are gonna be AN EASY NO PROBLEM COP. As long as you're by a comp by midnight when they officially come out, it'll be a done deal. Lol imagine the hype on those before they come out, but they're gonna end up being a joke for me to cop BECAUSE NOW I KNOW HOW ALL THIS GOES DOWN. Alright I'm done........... have a nice day

Are the tongue print colors different for every pair?

Might ask to choose my pair if that's the case. Have it pre-ordered at FL but maybe there's still some left.

Glad to see almost everyone got their orders in with no issues.  Congrats on the pick-ups.

At this time, the checkout timer is here to stay.

Maybe our old methods were fine from your point of view, but they definitely were not fine.  With our old system, too many orders would go through when the item was sold out, along with other issues.

The timer adjusts itself based on the number of people ahead of you trying to check out and how long it is taking people to check out.

Painless and you know your order goes through.

If you have a long wait time to check out, you may want to call in to try and place an order, as balloonoboy was saying.

Confirmation e-mails can take a few minutes up to a few hours to be received, once you place your order.  If you have not received an e-mail yet, make sure to check your junk-mail folder.  If you want us to check on your order, send us a private message with your customer/order number.

No need to worry Eastbay will ship double boxed as stated by Eastbay rep Ray.
Your Jordan Retro 7's will be double boxed when they are shipped out, even if you only ordered one pair.

The mall around my way, which is not a huge spot for sneakerheads, was pretty hopping with people picking these up. Reminded me a lot of the Cement III release earlier in the year in terms of volume. Saw a lot of guys walking around with 5-6 pairs.

Can I get a PM with the discount coupon for the 30% off? I haven't been able to find this in the forums, much appreciated.

got to footlocker around 10:30. they only received 18 pairs and only sold 5 including employees before i got there. picked mine up with no problem at all. sometimes it pays off to live in a city where no one cares about shoes haha.


only thing i hate is how the laces are soo long.
 
eastbay... i have choice words... but i believe my luck to have more to do with it than otherwise.


Right when the ticker hits zero... i haven't been able to buy the last 5 or so major releases.


The last marquee jordan release i was able to buy from them were the varsity reds.


It's frustrating because i've been buying from you guys since the mid 90's and i guess the
younger chodes are just quicker on the draw.


*changes Depends*
