Coulda copped on Hanon for $185 shipped...still passed.

I may have messed up on that one.

Thats outlet prices
Can't pass that up

Glad people were able to cop, the 220 tag turned me off especially with twins on the way a lot more important responsibilities lol, I'm not a fan of the high elephant print cut either tho.

Congrats.

Don't forget to add the 9's and space jams. They both go back to their original Nike Air. Then you'd be complete.

The 9s aren't true OG though-they have the new tooling on the sole (Jumpman on the side)

Nothing funny about that at all.

I can't tell if these are going to hit discount or not but they might go for less than that, if they do.

 

[staffsgtdignam]

Thats cool and all. I just want to pay $150 for these.

As it should be.. I can't believe we're seeing a $70 price increase on 3s in less than 5 years.

Go to the Ginger 4 thread, the same guy is in that thread. Saying he had disposable income to buy the Ginger 4s, but he wont buy the TB3s.. Both are made in china by the same "poor Chinese kids"..

Lol.. funny to think these will still be @ $220 retail if it was made in the US.

The toe box kinda bothers me since there's a bit of a height difference on elephant print, it's more noticeable when I'm looking down at my shoe. Damn OCD lol

This would bother me too

 

[saiyan xtreme]

Thanks to @memphisboi55 for the headsup at travis. Spending 176 was definitely a lot better than the 220.

Dug out the 2011's receipt and found out i only spent abou 15 dollars less on those.

Rep you very much sir! They still had my size 13. Jumped on that with the quickness! Surprised they let that 25% off code apply.

My TBs arrived in Buffalo at 9:39pm on the 24th and havent moved. Im in syracuse, 2 hours away. I want my shoes UPS!! And it still says 30th for delivery. I couldve drove the Buffalo and got them like 6 times by now.

I didn't try to sign for a raffle, I didnt try to purchase online, I just went to our local store without any stress and grab a pair to add to my starting OG 88 family. Took lots of pics with the WC 88s comparison.

Yea I knew I read that somewhere. Thats why for this release I just let the countdown run out. Never said I was going to pick up.

Also when you do pick up. You have to make sure you say you purchased shoes after the store gets the pickup code from your phone. Or else it can count against you.

Where are you getting this information?

 

[dhtowng]

I was excited about this release and ordered Monday from Nike. Now hearing the quality complaints it is a bit depressing . [emoji]128528[/emoji]

Ignore the petty complaints. The shoes are fine. Enjoy!

Picked mine up yesterday from my local HoH. Quality seems fine to me.

Yes

I don't think many people factor those in. Mainly it's just the 3,4,5 and 6's or should I say the edition of Jordan's that have had the Jumpman on the heel replaced with Nike Air.

People will find a million excuses for not buying ,in reality the reason is the abundant pairs.

I am just happy to double up on these.

Nah there some legit reasons, the shape a bit off and the rolled red tongue is different from both the OG pair it emulates and the blue tongue on the previous retros. They are in abundance but I also think they a little off from what people were hoping for compared to the quality we've been getting lately on OG retros lately such as Flu Game, WC4, BM5, Banned 1,  etc. 

Also a lot of shoes dropped from Adidas + more heat upcoming such as Space Jam, SB 1, Royal 1, What the 1 (if you're into that). I think people decided to save their $ when they saw the TB3 was not quite what everyone had hoped for. And maybe everyone put their expectations too high but IMHO that is the reality of the situation.
