to everyone that was charged $150 for the xmas kobes at footlocker, footaction, champs or wherever, nikestore just tweeted to someone that there was a "last minute price change to $140" and said to go back to the store and get a refund for the difference.

Smooth of footlocker to also take off the MSRP tag on mine... Not sure if they did that everywhere

I bought mine out of state while on vacation.

Oh well
 
I'm so confused can someone explain to me why some soles are solid and some are translucent. I copped mine from hoh and my soles are translucent but I've seen a lot of solid soles.

Kickspotting Instagram was the first place I saw a solid sole.

Solid XDR rubber is on the pairs overseas.
 
DID YOU ORDER YOUR PAIR THROUGH FOOTLOCKER THE MORNING ON 12/25! ?!?!?!?!??!!?

If so you are entitled to get your $8 shipping charge back. I noticed those weird remaining pairs on ftl.com had free shipping attached to it, so i called and they refunded it to me. just an FYI to those who did as well
 
So, I get a call from deadstock last night and wasn't home. Called back today. I mistakenly placed two orders, one for size 11 and one for size 12(my true size). Apparently the size 12 order went through and I cancelled the size 11.

This all after I get them on ebay for 260. Woof. 2 pairs on the way, debating to sell one.

Thanks fellas....
Montebello is out the way for me, unless I make you pick them up for me.... MMoreno.
HoH Lakewood seems like an option though.....
I want to try Cerritos FTL, but I despise giving my money to that location..
I've never had a cool person there, ever.
Maybe I'll give Buena Park a call today.....can't hurt to actually call before, right?

Ha it's a bit out of the way for me too. I just happened to be going in that direction the day I bought mine. But I'll make that trip for you if you hook it up with a pair of Kobe socks :tongue:

The pic speaks volumes to me. I interpret it as moving forward and embracing the new flagship nike basketball lines in lbj/kd/kobe. Not only is the quality better than jb, its also fresher and the fact that those 3 are the top 3 in the sport currently makes it a no brainer. How many times can we cop jordans from 84-97? Out with the old, in with the new!!!

There's no need for comparing. Both shoes are great. I don't know why there has to always be some kind competition. Jordan's will always be classics and they paved the way for Nike Basketball. It's just so childish when I see people do those pics. Grow up. It's like smashing up a classic car just because u have the newest thing on the market. Jordan's are classics and will always hold value.

No.

I could see if he was smashing a pair of '96s, but these retros are a shell of the "classic".

If we are gonna compare them to cars, then these 2012 retros would be clones.

anyone do this? successful?
 
Called the footlocker I purchased mine from for $150 and they told me to just refer back to Nike. Wtf. The person I talked to asked her manager but said they didn't get any memo after I told them about the couple of tweets that Nike sent back to people regarding the price.

Either way, the 2012 XI retros are still a nice shoe. U get my drift. Besides, if they are so bad, he shudnt even have a pair to step on. :lol:
