    Man, today is NOT the day to mess with Steez.


    Like Rock, and most people with taste, (i.e. over the age of 14, don't wear jewelry in our mouths, t-shirts that came free with a raffle ticket, or hoodiesthat look like they're missing their footies.) I prefer the XX3s with SUBTLE detailing, but it looks like I'll be missing out on these.

    Somehow, I'll have to accept the harsh truth: I'm just not "special" enough to enjoy the honor of paying $230 for this shoe.


    We'll see if the artificial hype carries over to the GRs or if, once again, we're looking at outlet fodder. They've been trying this quickstrikegimmick to accompany the first GR release since the XX. This will sell out, of course, due to the preposterously low production numbers (well, AUTHORIZEDproduction numbers, at any rate), but what effect, if any, this stunt has on moving the GR remains to be seen. It looks like it'll just have the effect offrustrating far more consumers than it pleases - assuming there are indeed thousands of people long enough on cash and short enough on self respect to shellout the ludicrous $230 plus tax for this shoe.

    Interesting points Method Man. I agree, it is all a gimmick(and in my opinion a very bad one) to build the hype and create sales for the other 23 beingreleased. I think JB screwed this one up big time.

    WORD!


    What I find most remarkable is that there are so many people that aren't shrewd enough to NOT just give away their cash for a pair of Jordans. Is it reallyas simple as fetishizing these kicks because they're "the last signature Jordan"? Isn't that assertion obviously as contrived as this"limited" BS? [​IMG]

    Hypebeast =

    A) Someone who buys something either just because everyone else is getting them and they want to fit in
    B) Someone who buys something just because it's limited, but doesn't really care about the shoe. Basically the opposite of A, they want something thatother people couldn't get their hands on just to show it off.

    Well, I just need to see the list of stores. I'm not working this break, and I really really like the shoe/colorway combo. I'll be"camping" I guess. Never thought I'd have to do it, but it seems inevitable.

    So true. I've been thinking about how Jordan tries to move their product for a while now. They know when they put the limited notion out there,people are going to like them even more for that reason and for resell value. That type of stuff turns me off. It suck even more when I actually like a shoeand people jump on just because they are limited.

    In my opinion this shoe is the best colorway but not worth $230. I might consider it but not camp out for these though and I wouldn't have toanyways!

    I personally wouldn't post the Stores getting these shoes, and would leave that up to the individual retailers.

    Why? The mass confusion, chaos and havoc which will happen when 1 Million people are trying to find the locations for 1000+ shoes.

    I say for those wanting but can't get it. Take the L and avoid the confusion. For 23 pairs, only so many are going to be able to get their sizes anyway.
