   They sold out cuz they didnt produce as many of these as most of the other kicks that came out this year. I work at finishline and we got 3 times more cement 4's then these. So even if not as many people wanted em they are gonna sell out. Plus og color wave helps to. 14's are great shoes to ball and thats what Im using mine for.

These weren't a general release though. Montreal didn't get any at any foot locker or champs. Only exclucity and uptown sports got them. Maybe some other small shops also but I only know of these two places for sure. These are an amazing release. I can't wait to wear mine but I really don't wanna mess them up. This shoe is *@@%$%@ beautiful. I feel bad for anybody who slept on these
 
To those of you who have missed it NDC still has a FSR maybe a re-stock of some sort, I tried adding one to my cart and it worked...
Call NDC just to make sure they aren't gonna be cancelled...

i pulled out my beat pair of OG 14s (white/red & white/blue) and it looks like they werent made well either. i remember glueing the jumpman shield back in the hole, the paint bubbling up and such. but still one of my favs. gonna have to find a pair, but gonna let the resellers sit on these for awhile(hopefully) before i bite. only 1 pair in each size hit my champs, none at finishline or footlocker...

 great execution

i went to the mall and these were around.  Now everybody thinks they're a sneakerhead.

quality was meh.  leather feels close to 06 if that means anything.  maybe a little thinner.
 
My pair looked a little bent on the corner where the top lace is. I was like @!*? Still pretty satisfied, but I can see why people complain about the inconsistency on quality. I remember when I saw these in Footlocker for 49.99! And I was too poor to get them LOL college days!

Had to go to a store in America's most dangerous city.
They opened at around 10am.
Only had about 13 men's sizes.
Maybe that's why the manager gave me my refund with very little resistance because they never stamped my receipt with the FINAL SALE and only informed me of this after the transaction was completed. Fortunately for me I have a NIKE-TOWN about a 20 minute train ride away so I still got my pair only now I know I can't get jerked by FOOTLOCKER. NIKELOVESYOU

Like mine?


Also, my biggest gripe about these is the red paint.
You would think that a limited release would get more attention, think again!





Maybe I'm being picky?
But these in '99 were top notch quality.
$150 back then was like $205 bucks in today's money.
 
Fully expected these to sell out, what with them being a QS and an OG colorway, Stealth 10s will be the real test. If those sell out

So limited that the only people that wanted them ended up getting a pair..............
XIV were on shelves for months previously........Its like the brand is on top again. (Even with terrible quality)

^Stealth Xs are terribad. But yeah, pretty much any OG colorway is going to sell out now. Especially if the Royal Xs and those awful Spizikes did too

Wow, that is pretty crazy with the quality issues.

I don't know how they got past inspection looking like that.

I mean the Chicago 10's and WC4's didn't have any MAJOR flaws like these.
 
There's only 24 pages on this release.... how in the world did these sell out like that

Just tried to lace mine up for the first time. And the holes at the top are so small the laces cant even fit through...

Its like they didnt even punch them all the way. Pathetic
 
You know seeing these footlocker receipts has me wondering, how do they get away with this? This can't be an official policy since their website has no stipulations about what you can and can't return. If I ever ran across this I'd be on the phone with corporate post-haste. As it is I can't usually stand the way employees at the big chains treat customers so I try to spend my money with smaller local shops as much as possible.
 
Resellers. Hop on Ebay, hop on your local CL.
Like clockwork, Jordan drops a retro, the CL and Ebay shoe stores get FSR's.

This, they looked fresh but they're just now worth the price tag which is very disappointing easily one of my favorite XIV's.
