Imagine having beat XIs and making sure you get authentic pairs by ordering them via NikeID at any time you want.???

Getting XIs anytime at home would be absolutely amazing.

This is how you know the 2k line(2011,2012 etc.) is considered trash compared to the "classics" 1-23.

Those are always id available. Jordan just doesn't care now that he don't gotta wear them.

Of all the classics went on ID, then you might as well buy fakes.

weird but it should lessen resellers if this happens

Why is that? I'd be all for everything being up on iD. Short of trying to resell older pairs why would it matter if people could iD themselves a pair of Space Jams or Black/Red XIs? To the purists that only buy older releases you're not really going to be able to scam someone with the telltale iD boxes and production tags. And the average kid on the street wants instant gratification so they're not going to spend upwards of $200 to iD a pair of shoes that they won't even see for a month.

Tinker cares about as much MJ these days.

Try that with Jordans I-VI first and see what happens.

Just a crazy thought.

to be honest that COULD be the best option. it brings cash for the releases and the ID's.

this wouldnt happen until they really run out though

The only way Id like to see retros on Nike Id is if you can only get colorways that were released. basically just selecting what shoe you want, for example a pair of concords. Nike Id generates you a pair of concords and sends them out at a higher premium obviously, but without having to wait until a release date years down the road.
