There on GOAT at a pretty decent price overall i kind of want those wolf grey dunks that are out on the app this coming Saturday morning at 10 am i'm going to at least try for them.

[darkness2918]

Got these from GOAT. I’ve wanted them since they released but price got crazy, they finally went down to price I was more willing to pay (then went slightly back up). Glad to finally own them. Jordan 1 high Shadow 2.0:



And my wife got the Jordan 1 mid Teal from GOAT:



Edit: Going to return the Jordan 9 Particle Gray to the Nike store. On those I needed a 12 which they didn’t have. 11.5 which is my size was just a little too tight on the sides.

[El Rey]

didn't hit on any of the Jordan reserves on SNKRS this morning. Oh well, was just going for a couple 4's for trade bait anyways.

I didn’t even know about that cause I didn’t go on the SNKRS app all day . Probably wouldn’t have hit anyway.

follow sneakernews on twitter and turn on notifications. They posted 20 min before the drop.

I turned on twitter notifications for a couple of sites and I was getting pings on my phone 20 times a day. Turned them off after three days.

...no shoes are worth that.

For the boy

Didn't have 11.5 so got him a 12. Said he'll hold them til he grow into them then wore them the next day.

I want those but I’m not paying more then retail. I hope one day we can just walk into any sneaker store & buy what we want without resellers & bots buying up every pair.

Sorry to say, but those days aren’t coming anytime soon.

Completely agree. I've gone the reseller route 3 times & 2 of those times the price was cheaper including shipping. (We're not gonna talk about the 3rd time) If the Jackie Robinson Air Max wasn't 3-4X the price I'd go over retail for those, $40-$60 at most though. Someone made me an offer for $325 last month & I'm kind of kicking myself for not accepting.

Hit on the black and white Dunk highs this morning.

Not much of a W, considering they're basically going for retail on the resell.

Struck out on the pandas.

...I like the highs more personally.

I got a pair of the high's a couple weeks back also have the low panda's too got two pair of them since Nike sent me two pairs for the price of one.

[El Rey]

0/6 on panda lows this morning. hoping with as much as they have been restocked the market will be oversaturated. I don't care if I get a pair for myself but my niece saw my wifes pair and has been wanting her own ever since, so now I am on a mission
hit on the highs a couple months ago but they hover around retail

With the exception of Jordan 4s I’ve been able to walk in to Foot Locker & my local sneaker store to pick up other Jordan’s I want with no issues. It wasn’t like that last year. Even releases I thought for sure would sell out instantly like the J3 Fire Red are still available near me.

Either way, I'm done with Jordans. I'm refuse to be Nike/JB's dancing monkey for their entertainment.

What city do you live in?

…it’s still hard for e to fathom that your FTL has Jordan 1s sitting.

I get roasted on NikeTalk for saying this, but I like the Shadow 2.0s almost as much as the original Shadows.

The colorway is all time great imo.

And I actually think the nubuck works really well.

…it’s a nice contrast to the black leather.

I live in NYC. I frequent about 3 different Foot Lockers & all 3 have Jordan’s sitting. J3 dark iris, J3 fire red, multiple J1 lows, mids & a couple highs like the Heritage, Stealths & Taxi & J12 Stealth. Then they also have a few J5 & J6. And that’s not including my local mom & pop store that also has 1s, 3s, 5s & 6s & 12 stealth. I’ve been able to easily walk in & pick up most sneakers I want for retail this year which I haven’t been able to do last year. It’s been great honestly.

Now it makes sense.

You have multiple locations that are probably getting 6 or 7 full size runs on every major release.

My town has one location with one size run.
