Complain to MJ himself... this is his b-day shoe. He chose and made the final decision on everything on the All-Star. Supposedly, he's never spentmore time on any other...

[versache530]

i went to finishline yesterday and the guy told me that out of the 300+ stores, only about 150 got the shoe, and ours was not one of them. the sports seasonsis the only store in my city that is getting them. the next closest store is 90 miles away. people around here don't be on j's so hard that they arewilling to camp for them, so i'm not too worrried. i'll just get up an hour ahead of time and wait. i was the only one at the mall early for thecountdown pack. copped it with no problems.

yes they are getting them...it says it on the Jordan page. "xx3 comming 2-16"

I called their customer service line to confirm with a rep. The conversation went like this:

Me: "When are the XX3 all stars going on sale?"
Her: "Ummm they aren't."
Me: "Really? I mean on your site it says coming 2/16"
Her: "Nooo... they're not going on sale."
Me: "So why does your site say coming 2/16?"
Her: "Oh, I thought you were asking when they went on clearance?
Me: "No, I wanted to confirm that you will have these for purchase on 2/16"
Her: "I don't know, let me check with a manager."

You'd think the CSR's would have a little more knowledge on the biggest release of the year and a typical conversation shouldn't make you feel like you were speaking to a rock.

That's it? You hung up after she said she check with a manager?

Well, she came back and said they go on sale at 8est, then I said thank you ma'am bye, sorry I left out the details.

That doesn't sound right. Eastbay has never released a shoe that early on a Friday night since I have been buying through them. good luck though.

yeah, theres no way they would be released at 8pm est. thats 5pm on the west coast

I don't understand where this notion of 8pm est came from? If you guys read my post I said "8est" since the website clearly states onsale 02/16, I thought that it was a given that the 8est referred to AM on the 16th. I don't know where you guys got 8pm east on 02/15 out of that?

why do you expect them to have knowledge when youre not even referring to them by the right name? these arent called allstars, and unless youre part of the small percentage of an online chat board no one will know what the hell you are talking about.

Or maybe I'm part of a small percentage of NBA fans who realize that this is all star weekend, so saying the "Jordan XX3 all stars that comeout on 2/16" should cleary make sense to any CSR that works for a shoe website that has the "new Jordan XX3" coming out this Saturday.

Because Eastbay typically released the Saturday releases Friday night so everyone must have assumed you were in that line of thought. They willrelease on Eastbay WELL before 8 AM EST on 2/16. Just a matter of when and how smooth their servers are running...

 

[airuphere23]

Eastbay will have these the same time as they normally do for JB kicks.

 

[hiphop n sneakers]

Just got my pair today (Newark NJ!!!!) these @#*%% is fiya, alotta people gonna sleep on this, and the store i went to only had 1 pair of each size...so coppedmy sz 9 and was out. Oh yea BTW...to keep it G these run small so go a half size big.

 

[wrbush31]

Uptempoair.com just posted a restock. $250 a pair. not too bad I guess. Get them while you can.

 

[airuphere23]

^^ Thanks for the info. $250 is crazy when you just can go to the local mall and pick these up tomorrow for retail.

Agreed, but I think that will be tough for some people due to their stores not getting them and then the stores that do get them may have smallquantities resulting in unhappy customers. I figure $250 can provide peace of mind, convenience, and security.

 

[jonathan801]

So do the Black ones AND the white/black/red ones BOTH come out tomorrow???? I called one store they said they are only getting the black ones tomorrow andanother store has them both on display....is that how it is everywhere???

Same thing happened to me. The Stealth's (Black) come out next saturday, according to the official release date and the All-Stars(White) releasetomorrow. All footactions and footlockers and such will obey this date. Some smaller stores will release them early and some have already released them. If amajor store tells you they both come out tomorrow I wouldn't believe it.

 

[jonathan801]

well it was a major store...the guy said they arent getting the "All Stars" but they will have the black ones tomorrow. Im bout to ride to the placewhere both are on display cause the line is busy and seeing them both will help me make a decision. So far only one store said theyd have the stealths tomorrowand they are in Maryland so PM me if your in Maryland and want the stealths tomorrow.

 

[quiktoflip]

I got them both today. The Blacks are IMO the better of the two. But the all-stars are nice.

 

[corrupt52]

Just realized there was a specific "all-star" post.. I posted this in the general XX3 post a couple hours ago, but it is probably better here: Justspoke with a Nike Rep and they said NDC will not be putting up the XX3s, only Urban Accounts and Niketown Stores. But she also told me that Eastbay will NOT bereceiving the XX3s. But when I told her that they are as I called them today she said her list must not be up to date (ok, whatever). Given this, anyone withknowledge know if NDC will be putting the XX3s up? I have no faith in this rep.... and given the issues with Eastbay crashing I'd like to have a Plan B (Iwear size 16, so options are limitied... which may be eBay unfortunately).

 

[kickmatic23]

these all stars don't seem that hard to get.. i'm not gonna get em but anyone who does who lives in ny.. footlocker, footaction, and champs inroosevelt field will have them so ill assume so will the same stores in queens center mall.

Eastbay CSR's suck son, sad even the lil chicks at footlocker and finishline no more about the air jordan releases den she did. But 2 my swoosh dudes is this gonna be lik a LS release or a limited gen lik spiz'ikes. Couldnt get thru 2 n e reps earlier 2 day

 

[na penny 89]

so the stealths drop next saturday ? someone said they both come out tomorrow. im really trying to stretch my money.

 

[realdillxxx]

Just got my stealths shipment confirmation from CS.

 

[leocabrera]

NOT LIMITED

my city never gets L style or jordan two packs and all three of our shoe stores got them ..
so they cant be limited.

 

[Mister Meaner]

this shoe surprised me. I thought the picture with MJ holding the black pair was somewhat PSed, but the shoe is that small! I was going to get the all-starcolorway today, and worry about the "stealth" pair next week, but after seeing both in person, I'll get the "stealth" pair today andanother next week. I still like the all-star pair, but I'll take my chances on finding then a few weeks down the road. It's a pair I can live without,but would like to have.

 

[peteweezy]

to keep it G these run small so go a half size big.
To keep it G I think it depends on your foot cause I feel they are to big and you should cop them a .5 smaller.

 

[jordanlebron23]

Black shoe strings look better in the All-Stars
