[raffstylexx]

Available here in Nike UK for £70 FSR! (£1=$1.55, £70=$109)

I wonder why its only £70..coz the Jordan IX (ftlotg) is £95. I think im going to pick up few pairs!...

these do hold up well. i wore mine the past 2 days and they still look ds. the leather is just like the wht/infra 6, its not premium but its strong and holds its shape.

I just had to cop on a resale price... not a bad one at all, but still a resale nonetheless...

 

[Gordonson]

Ended up paying $205 for mine. $55 more than retail. Not the worst price, but far from the best

I'll live.

Either d infra leather or I would say real close to varsity white 6s. Its jus a diff feel of leather I guess. If dat make sense lol definetly great shoes. 7s r very comfy nd nice shoes. One of those shoes u deff gotta have in d closet. For the people that thinks d leather is wack, go ahead nd enjoy ur 04 nd we will enjoy our 10. =) or if u don't even got both shoes nd ur talkn, then shut it nd pick up a pair. Then open it back up. Haha smh at critics.

Not a huge fan of the '04 shape, and I actually kind of like the FTLOTG heart.

 

[jose23mex]

They still have 6 pairs at the CHAMPS in Downtown San Francisco sizes 10.5 up to a 13 people didnts know they got them in there

the shape is better on these and ur right my 04's havent creased either.

i love the vii my favorite j but i aint keeping these.

i hope we get retro + colorways that are actually nice...

Man, that's corny. You'd think by now they'll have better control of their inventory.

 

[retri]

how's the quality of the leather on these?

Debating if getting a pair of Vreds/White VI's or these since they're just like 100 Euro in Europe and no one is purchasing them (Vreds on the other hand are 170 Euro and basically sold out), I'm not really fond of nike shoes made of leather tho so I'd like to know which one is going to show ugly creases first.

Thanks in advance.

 

[jah23]

missed out on these but something tells me its all hype... i kno know your sayin its always hype.. im gonna cop them later for close to retail watch

 

[mrflowers]

its crazy my local finishline told the public "WE GOT 18 PAIRS".... BUT @ THE OPENONG OF THE STORE DAY OF RELEASE MANAGER SAYS " WE ONLY GOT 10 PAIRS... ANYTHING UNDER A 9 WE DONT HAVE" LOL.... FML MAN then i c employees puttin em to the side and some walking out w them...THE SCAM THAT GOES DOWN W THESE SNEAKERS MAN

 

[pelimpe]

The leathers pretty good, it's not shiny like on the IX's. I have no real complaints like on most retroes, just wish they didn't have that logo on them

   leather quality is good. i wore mines for 2 straight days. no creasing at all in the toebox and only very minimal creasing on the side panel near the toebox on the inside view of the shoe. these were build to last

 

[welcome2jungle]

i read mj book "for love of the game" so i appreciate that logo and im glad i got these because of that logo
