Official Air Jordan X & XIII Countdown Post!

[ooiron manoo]

You must be new to the Shoe game. Because almost everyone had to get a shoe over retail at one point. Got mine on PYS so no need to worry. Just gotta wait on UPS to drop off my package.



Not speaking for the other cat, but there are a lot of people that have been in this "shoe game" for a lot longer and have never paid more thanretail.

I've been buying Jordan's with my own dough since I got my first job in '98. Most Jordan retro's from 99-02 I bought with my cousin'sdiscount or when they hit sales racks. Even when $!$! hit the fan and this culture exploded into a "game", I never paid more than retail. Ihaven't paid retail since 2004, swoosh keeps me happy.

The only shoe that was bought at an inflated price is my Retro Flint XIII's. Long story short, I was in Vegas when they dropped, my girl was supposed toget them for me (w/ my money, didn't want to take a party break to hit up NTLV

). She overslept, called me, I tried to get to NTLV but they just sold the last one in my size. She hit up a few spots in LA and she bought apair from a worker that had a pair on hold for himself. $!$! happens, she wanted to cover the difference, but I didn't let her. Paid it with house money(

).

Thought I try and add something to this thread.

People need to relax, they will be available. I ain't mad at all these guys hustling on other peoples insecurities.

I think these should be fairly easy to cop, even though I'm not going to. They're on eBay right now for about $380 all sizes. After tax/shipping you will have to pay at a store, it's not that much more considering the hassle some of you might go thru.

got to my local finishline they only had 1 pack per size and luckily 11.5 was the only size left that wasnt reserved yet and luckily thats my size so i putdown 350 cuz u have to buy some shoe cleaner and some other bs but at least i get to sleep in on sat.... good luck everybody

But like I said we all at one time had to paid over retail for a shoe. Thats my whole point. Unless your just buying Jordan's and Gr then maybe.

Sydney, australia NT'ers listen up

footlocker pitt street will be the ONLY store to get this countdown pack. they're retailing at AUD$499.



i think i'll just import the two packs i want.

 

[goldenstatewarrior23]

this is one of those many times i wished i lived in ny. i only know of one place in the bay that sells kicks early and they will charge and arm and a leg.where can i cop in the bay?

how does EVERYONE have a damn swoosh account? i hope everyone with a size 12 falls asleep that night! (yeah right) i wish swoosh would at least set up aregular time they drop the shoes. therefor you know if you got them or not at 12 and then can make your next plan if u took an L.

 

[cucumbercool]

like i asked before what should the price be about.

 

[redcar802]

off topic question

you need to be an nike employee to register as a swoosh member am i right

 

[redcar802]

in la ... very nice i noticed no rapper on the hologram this time around on the xiii and the x is better way better in person then the all black 10 from lastyear imo http://www.myspace.com/djsubflo

 

[ctjordanfiend]

Little ? NTers to all the people that are splitting the packs with someone else, ok I was just thinking about this whille looking through this post who getsthe box too the package because personally I like the box a lot and its IMO wat sets apart the realg from the knockoffs... but to the people that are splittingany insight( as for me my pair is 70% in my hands)

 

[wesdenzel]

they like cut the box in half lol
so you still have half of it^^^

 

[leftyjeenyus]

i think its such a downside that you gotta take the who thing outta the big box in order to wear one of them unlike the bmp, which you could just get the shoethat you placn on wearing out.

i find it funny a few resellers in here are trying to pump these two shoes up like they are the greatest things in the world and are gonna be extremely hard tofind. news flash. both models werent exactly flying off the shelves the first two times around.

Name 1 OG Jordan that flew off the shelves? Hell alot of retros had hard time selling before the hypebeast age.

 

[stuntin07]

Whats the quality like for those who copped early??? DO they seem to crease fast??

 

[dezmond123]

does every finishline reserve the shoes cuz thas gonna piss me off if everyone reserved and i go and like all 20 pairs be gone
