damn this is confirming my fears and my jordan pstd is kicking in from when I bought my first pair and ruined them and went back and learned that there NEVER will be more.. now I deadstock everything. I blame jordan for my hoarding of anything remotely limited haha.

Bro the '88s were not easy to get at all. At 4:51 EST on 2/6/13 all hell broke loose online. I got lucky using both a PC and my iPad/iPhone. I added to cart somehow on on the idevice and finished check out on NDC. I actually thought I had taken an L since everything was crashing but when I reloaded NDC on the PC there they were. That was not a GR release and the current prices reflect that. They did sell more during ASW and that was probably the easiest place to cop.

These joints feel like the Oreo's, which is a very good thing.
I can only pray for OG Black Cement 4's on Black Friday.

Maybe they had a million pairs online? Where as the wc4 had million between online and retail stores ? I'm probably gonna hoard these. I have a feeling in a year or so they'll be good trade bait and their value will be high

with leather made from the great grandson of the pig that they used for the 89 pair or from pigs that don c birthed and raised himself

Closer to truth than some would like to admit.
You know how it goes,
To each their own.

Good point. In this case, this can help to explain why the quality control during post-production appears to be lackluster for the most part. Nike can set its QA/QC standards and implement them jointly with the factory owners but the downfall is this: factory owners in China who use cheap labor (whether or not they are contracted with Nike) are more than likely not using lean production processes, no six sigma training & implementation, nothing.

Idk the production numbers but fact is once you strike out on an online release that's it. There were still pairs for sale in stores well into Saturday night for these 4s.

Its luck.. but these were a relatively easy pick up for me.. I got me and two friends pairs with 0 effort.. I swear its rigged by IP or something bc I bought.. created a new nike login.. bought.. created a new nike login bought.. like it was just a normal shoe on a normal day. Like @bigj505 said its just your luck that day (i think thats who said it) bc I struck out for hours on the blk/red (i know bred hurts feelings here) 13's and the playoff XI and basically every shoe between 2013-2015. Struck out on infra/carmine/motorsports 6 but copped multiple blk/rd 1's and too many 3lab5s on 3G in a pool in pr half asleep.. so yea its all luck. Thats why I got so many raffles for these.. online is funny.

I would snatch a pair asap. Even though these were made in huge quantities, this is a special shoe and resale prices will never drop below what they are now. A lot of people were laughing at me, but in a few years these will most likely resell for close or at '88s prices. Unlike other hyped shoes, lots of people bought these to actually wear and keep. A lot of people bought 2 pairs and at least one of them will be worn within the year. Next year I'd expect the avg prices to be $450-500 easily. This is why it is so important to always cop on RD. A lot of people underestimated this shoe given what we've seen with all the previous releases. A NA WC/BC 3 or 4 is a different beast.

not white knighting jordan but the QC isn't the problem, its the disconnect between customer expectation of quality and company minimum quality standards. 1000's of owners are on here accounting for way more pairs than that and we only saw a max of 10 actual defective pairs that slipped. Cars that are 100 times more expensive where issues can be life and death have worse defect rates than this.. check out some TSB's lol

The '88s were the only shoe I was able to get manually in that period. After that I found the free NDC bot and started using chrome. That was the only way for me to guarantee myself HGGs among others. Now I just take my chances online manually, but also go to stores. It was easier for me to double up on the XIs and these by going to the mall and that's what I'll do until that stops working.

Agree except for the bot.. It just stopped working for me after one release and I wasn't motivated enough to fix it bc I was in denial thinking I could cop manually still. Took 2 years and a shoe I loved for me to be serious about copping lol

Yeah the bot I had stopped working for me also and I just refuse to buy a bot for hundreds. I got really discouraged and just started buying Js again with the maroon release. I was out of the loop for a while so I didn't know hype had died down and I could actually buy them without any trouble.
