I was def wrong but I will attribute this to a few things
1) coming off Concord hype means every bum thinks they can flip this for double (get a job)

2) it's Jan. so their isn't much else to do right now

3) first time that we have seen these in a long time

that being said; I really don't see the IV's being like this

I was able to get two pairs got to Springfield mall about 7 am after clearing the snow off my car and only a handful of people up there. By the time the store opened they pretty much flew of the shelf looked liked each of the two stores got 12-18 pairs. also no hangtag with either of mine.

Just came back from the local mall and saw that three spots had them, even noticed that they had signs posted and more security, LOL!! Where was all this when the Concord's dropped?

 

[jordanxi45]

IMO it was easy as hell to get these if you wanted em.

 

[swagadelphia]

@stilln729 honestly I felt the same way about the IV initially but the way people were talking there is a very strong demand for that shoe as well.

see I hit up my spots in the burbs so I generally have an easy time copping as long as I go at opening; I think the snow and ice in Philly really made it hard for people today and what happened was people who take public transportation or could drive in this crap really cleaned up because people couldn't get there.
I was shocked that the Plymouth Meeting Mall sold out; no one even goes in that mall and half the stores are closed.  Their Footlocker had the 3's forever; that mall is like a senior citizen track and that's about it.

Ok, I have to say that the amount of people coppin J's nowadays is absurd. I have been in the game for 20 years, bought and sold my collection twice and this is getting crazy. I recently joined the community after reading posts for years and have lent some info and some help where I could. Back to my original point where is all this coming from, where are these 12 year old kids getting escorted by their parents to a line up coming from. %$! do they know about this? I don't know man it just all seems a bit too much of late, 
A tip for those of you that desire the hang tag and didn't get one, go into any sneaker store and try on the Air Max cmft 10's or what ever those are and just take that one. Its the same exact tag, I had tags on my pair so I'm good but my boy runs a mom and pop shop and I seen them sitting there on that shoe (CMFT 10's) and we checked a bunch of pairs and they all had em. good luck. 

 

[a55a5in11]

got to my mall and was like 6th in line. but they didn't have my size 11 so i took a 11.5 than some #*#+@ had the audacity to offer her size 11 for $350 to me. i was like

nah i will take a 11.5

 

[jordan23kid]

Do you have a pic of the tag?

 

[space doodoo pistols]

ugh. no luck finding these online. i realize now how lucky i was able to get through and get my Concords... I'll chill on these and wait for the hype to die down as well as the piece of trash reseller prices.

@#$%!@$#%

Chutes and Ladders is a game; liking sneakers are not. This throws off the 20 year credibility IMO.

 

[SteveSteve72]

I just got back from the mall, easy cop. The quality is good IMO. And they smell great

 

[blazilla]

I can possibly take one later but I'm not home, trust me, two tag one red x and the black part of the tag says 10 collection or what have you. Its the same. Go check it out.

 

[lockdown36]

Whats wrong with kids getting into the shoe game?

Good parents get involved with their kids.



I wish my parents would take me to shoe releases.

 

[stillin729]

I really hope mine have the hang tag now; I putting it on eBay for Buy It Now of $30 because I know some clown will buy it.

Your #2 point makes no sense, because there wasn't much to do when the WCIIIs came out either and they did not sell out the way these did. Your #3 doesn't make much sense either with your finishing thought because the IV's are being retroed for the first time in 13 years. I think there is more hype for the IVs. I can't answer to if they will be easier to cop because I don't know what the inventory is for those sneakers. If its the same as the X's, I would assume the hype would be worse.

 

[drillest]

me and my daughters pair

Possibly the reason I stayed away from these sites for so long.. I have nada to prove to you homie..just the way I'm feeling.
Father and Son getting kicks all good, some kid telling his mom I gotta get the 1.0's....REALLY??

 

[tarpnation]

Nice to see these on the court. Couple guys on Arkansas sporting these against Michigan...

 

[windycity45]

IVs dont look to good in my opinion . Probably will never buy a pair of them .

I can't help you didn't get your pair 

be salty at someone else and I can assure the white cements were made in 3x's the quantity of these
