Nice photo. I'm personally gonna pass on these white Olympic Uptempo's in favor of the all black/volt uptempos droppin in less than 2 weeks.
The black Uptempo's is my fav. The volt pushes them over the top for me.

I have to stop looking at this thread. All I wanted were the 180s, but the uptempos are slowly becoming more tempting.

Just got off the phone with NTSF, got their last size 10 in the 180s! Very relieving feeling because I had called 5 other Niketown before and extrabutter and they were all out of size 10.

Can't believe people are going crazy for the 180s. Times have changed.

How's the sizing for the 180's?
For anyone that asks, the Uptempo run big.

this is what I would like to know can anyone compare these in sizing to some of the shoes releases this year example Jordan's true to size like those or snug like a lebron 9 where depending on width of foot you may need to go half size up?

I think the reseller have there eyes on the Olympic 6s
Most people who know about the Olympic Pack are people who actually are buying to wear

I see what you did there.
Saw the 180s in person yesterday when I went to get some final #s on the Olympic VIs, they look ok, but nothing special. Always preferred that Black/Royal pair to them. Won't go out of my way to cop them, if they're still around in a month maybe. As for the Uptempos, this is one of the few shoes I'm probably going to double up on. Gave my boy my double, but the more I look at these is the more I think it'll be one of the few shoes I'll need to have a backup pair for which is saying something since I only really double up for trade bait.

probably because dudes didnt have access to a HoH so were like F-It. They did sell out tho so its not like they were sitting for people to order after the fact.
When they hit Chi for 80 (bgrades) they were gone with the quickness tho.
These are WAAAAAAAAY more accessible this year so more people will have them.

Def not a kid..call it what you want. That's just how it is. This hype never happened when i was in high school (00-04) didnt see many resellers and these types of shoes hit outlets regularly. I never missed out on any release and the only time I actually had to wait a while (3 hours) was for DMP 6/11's.. Now people are camping out for GR jordan releases just to resell.. What the would you call that then?

didnt get a shoe? blame a reseller. thats the theme.
Blame nike for how they allocate pairs. Simple as that.
Nike didnt used to play the games they play now either back in the day.
