Whats the craziest/luckiest way you got a pair of Jordans?

[doctorjay507]

i thought it'd be interesting to hear stories of weird ways people came across a pair of jordans...for example...i was in 9th grade over my friends houseon his birthday. we were chillin when he randomly showed me this jordan box and was like "check these ugly pieces of s*** out man my dad just got them forme for my b-day." when he opened the box it was a pair of brand new cool gray IV's. i was like hey i'll take them if you don't want them andhe handed them over the only thing i had to do was not tell his dad cuz he would of been pissed that his son just gave away his birthday present haha.

my crazy story was that I went into the local goodwill because I heard pleanty of people finding heat from here. I walked to the shoe racks and found a pair ofNDS Concord XI's. Went home and went to the legit check forum, and they passed as legit!!! I damn near *#@+ my pants when I seen them!!!

This just happened to me Yesterday,
I was at church, and this kid that goes there had a pair of Cool Grey IX's. So I was joking and said " Ay, Let me take those IX's off youhands" and he agreed. So today I rocked them to school!

my high school coach was sent some jordans and i saw them so i ask for a pair and 2 weeks later they came and i had my black 17 2 months early, black/blue 18s1 month early.

walk into green acres mall on mars 4s release and saw them. i dont like the mars but asked about them. a bunch of people were comin in and askin for theirsizes but they didnt have them i ask about mine out of curiousity and they had my sized so tried them on. they fit but i didnt want them. i was regretfullyconvinced to buy them. wore them like 10-15 times now i dont even want them.

My "crazy" story is I was just messin around on ebay just searchin for different stuff that I knew I wouldn't find but on this particularnight I just happend to search "Jordan Team II" and in the midst of an abundance of Team Elite II's I spot a pair of DS Team Jordan II's inthe White/Navy colorway. The bid had just started with 0 bids. so now I'm like

. So I email the seller askin if he had a "Buy it Now" priceand he said he couldn't let them go for no less than $220 shipped. I don't know how but later on at the end of the day I got em for $180 shipped.



Second story is pretty much the same when I found my DS grey/white Penny IV's from 2001 for $170 shipped, didn't take any pics of them though

 

[jordansequallife]

Looking for Flip IIIs when they released 3 days after. Walked into a store and one Flip III was on display. Checked the inside and it was in my size. The ownerof the shop also gave me a discount, no tax included.
