Its JB/Nike's strategy to hype the release.... Its their marketing machinery at work!

I wish I could say the same for mine. They have already started to yellow.... Bound to happen but its funny why may pairs are yellowing faster than my CG and Space Jams...

Precisely. The shoes are all that really matters. However, if the box turns out to be cheap then it does raise some questions on JB's direction on quality. If JB cut on quality on their boxes (marketing people tend to say packaging is everything) they are probably doing that on the shoes as...

The leather looks bad on these... and the sides are like cardboard. If this is what its going to be like I am really happy to save my money.

... You work for JB don't you?? LOL

Not only are my CG yellowing... so are my Concords.

they are packed with two different insoles so that the first time you wear them you can feel/compare which system you prefer... just swap out the one you don't like...

If the quality is going to be like the 2009 releases then its an easy pass for me...

I have worn mine quite a fair bit and no creasing at the patent. Only slight creasing at the white leather at the ankle area... but the bottoms have started to yellow already.

There is no stopping our addiction... There is no stopping JB/Nike from limiting production... There is no stopping JB/Nike from raising prices.... There is no way to stop resellers from charging rape prices... The end of the world is truly near! LOL After 25 years in this it looks like I...

Really sorry about you predicament... If you can accept the size difference then keep them. But seems like you need a 14 since the 13 hurts your foot...

Sometimes the stores could have mixed them up after letting customers try them... But that really sucks!

Oh my Gawd!! LOL... It looks like a size and a half smaller. QA at the factory must of been high on opium that day. Totally unacceptable!    

JB/Nike purposely limits productions to create a sense of exclusiveness. This means there will never be enough for everyone. With resellers buying up everything they can will only make it worst. We need to accept this fact and deal with it. Only thing we can try is not to feed resellers so they...

Applaud!!

You guys are probably resellers... LOL.  Its cool. I feel your sentiments on some sneaker heads feeling that they deserve a pair because they actually saw MJ ball. I think its fine to camp, go online and use your connects... its all good. I don't want to sound "holier than thou"BS but what we...

Great points and ideas, Fam! When I first posted this, it wasn't meant to be a "silver bullet" to make things better. LOL. I accept that buying our favorite Js will never be the same again but I just hate the fact the same people complaining how bad it is were also the ones paying over retail to...

After the Concord nightmare, I see lots of complaints aboutthe current sneaker culture... and people suggesting what JB/nike can do tocontrol the rot in our hobby that we love so much. The fall guy is none otherthan the hated RESELLER. Yes, they are a problem but I think it is totally OURFAULT...

I Have stopped but still buy on the following conditions: 1) pay retail on or after RD 2) when I need to replace my favorite beaters I am not going to even bother doing "homework" coz i am too old for it.... Plus, there are nicer things to buy without any of the hassles!!

We can complain all we want NT fam but don't forget we are ALL part of this problem as well... When you pay 2 times over retail for kicks we are sending a message to JB, Nike and resellers that there is more money to be made from us... JB and Nike will keep on doing what they do for the...
