Only saw 2 11.5s in all those pics oh yeah bunch of dildos
Yeah Dick I wear all my shit
Sneaker heads take note... All of these resellers are hustling the masses. Boycott them and our game will be back to normal. As long as you buy from them, you'll miss out on releases. They're scooping them up for gain. These are not sneaker lovers! Refuse the temptation. Put them out out of business!

This shit is not cool, I work in a sneaker store so I understand the struggle of people wanting shoes and not being able to get them because of low quantities, but shit like this is what fux the game up. You get grown azz men with bread buying out shady shoe stores that let them do the shit and then they go running to ebay or even this site to tax the hell outta you. Sad thing is if the shoe companies didnt want this happening they would release more shoes or make it illegal to resale. All this does is add more fuel to Nike and Jordan being able to tax you on the retail because they see dumbazz people buying a shoe they spent little to nothing to build for 100 times that.
got my pair but truly sad where my pair could of gone to.
so here's where my size 13 went...
i hate resellers with a passion
GOT MY PAIR BUT ITS A SHAME WHAT THE SHOE RELEASES ARE BECOMING
[quote="Asphalt Romance"][quote="JCloudfrees"][quote="DRUMattX"]This is sad. Folks buyin up all these pairs Do Not have the money up front for this dirtball rat-infested "business"... they have CREDIT CARDS. They do not buy to rock their pairs for the love of the shoe game Nor to hook up several buddies, they buy for the greed of makin money, simple as that. Worst part is as stated: THE BUYERS WHO BUY FROM RAPING RESELLER THUGS. Don't like it? Don't buy. THERE ARE NO VICTIMS HERE! No One MADE you purchase a pair or pack of shoes! Don't bitch about Resellers when you can just not buy from em! Does it suck that they gobble up all these pairs and those of us who want em & strike out can't get em in part because of these d-bags? Yeah, it sucks, there's no hidin that. But hold onto your buck$ and let the bottom fall out. Don't give in & you'll get yours. PATIENCE IS KEY! I can honest to God say I've never been taken from a reseller. Most I've paid for a shoe I've missed out on over several years of doing this is $20 over retail for Cavs IVs from a local who hooked me up (thru SC, actually) after strikin out online & in line. I, for one, am proud of that fact and intend to keep it that way. Haven't bought a Jordan since & am not looking forward to new releases like I used to. There are just too many older, better quality pairs that are worth paying a little extra for to get a hold of versus these garbage re-retros and hype packs that won't hold up over the test of time. Didn't even try for a GMP, as I had a charity event to attend. Went to Nike later that day, all pairs gone. I went in for GB Air Safaris tho, which are of significantly high quality (equivalent to quality found in pairs from 10_ years ago), ESPECIALLY for $90. I walked out with a pair constructed at 5-8 times higher quality than any Jordan I've scooped in the last year+. Dude there confirmed that Nike had to ship back nearly their entire size runs they received for the Varsity Red IVs, as the QC was so terrible, they couldn't sell em! How did those ever even make it to the US in that condition, let alone all the way to retail stores before getting caught?? This is what JB has become, a brand that coughs up garbage quality at higher prices than ever and they fly off the shelves thanks to resellers who FIND BUYERS otherwise, we'd all STOP BUYING, recognize the price we're paying for the quality we're getting isn't there & let em all sit til they go on sale, at the very least. Crazy to think that the 1s released in 2001 were all numbered releases (Royals, Ban's), yet here they are releasing again. So much for a limited number pair...newer, overpriced, poor quality shit re-retros are set to drop again! And to think those retros sat so long at just $80 retail, they eventually hit outlets for less than that! Now they sell for $250-350 DS! What changed? HYPE! When you miss a pair, do what's suggested below several times: wait for a hook-up at a close to or at-retail price or JUST MOVE ON! It's not like they're not gonna drop again or get forgotten about down the road & something different comes along to create more & more hype. It's just not worth the effort any more. Wait for the market to settle down...may take years but the more of us that hold onto our $$ the shorter it will take. This can only last so long, people. History repeats! [/quote] This[/quote]
imma co-sign on this! Church[/quote]
church, amen, tabernacle!
[quote="ClockWork"]I just reported several stores around my way, which have been known to not even release the shoe because the employees have kept them all or sell them for a little profit to re-sellers that plan on doubling or tripling their money.....Like many have mentioned in this post I never buy from re-sellers and if I miss out I miss out unless I get a nice deal. But if we all stop buying from them and let them sit on all of those pairs, eventually they will sell for retail or they will go broke because they can repay the credit cards that they have used to purchase them with! I am currently selling my collection and for no hypebeast prices, so it was satisfying to see those buyers that bought from me happy that they didn't have to pay a ridiculous amount for a shoe that they love......We also need to send a message to JB, because it is not only the re-sellers that are causing this problem. A big part of it is them, who continue to create the hype around these releases by calling them limited and creating that buzz. Reality is that, if you miss out you shouldnt stress it because the way JB is going the shoe will be retroed 4-5 years from now and in some cases less time. And this cycle will continue repeat it self, as long as you support a company that has become money hungry and continue to put out garbage(Quality) for an inflated price that realistically a lot of people that are buying these shoes really can't afford but because of the hype, they will rather be in debt then to miss out! I really hope that we as the consumers that keep them in business take a stand because as loyal fans and consumers deserve better! Have a great day everyone![/quote]
Good points there. I just bought these off eBay from a re-seller for roughly $380. He actually made a loss on these after eBay fees and shipping lol. Desperate times for a re-seller. Re-selling doesn't work if almost everyone who bought planned on selling them straight away.
aint nothin wrong with resellin.. stop hatin
mathafuka got 20 packs
DAmn thats crazy! taking all the pairs!
