Never pre-ordered from FNL before, do you have to pay the full price in advance? Please let me know.....pm me Thanks

 

[stuntastic020]

There is so many of these on ebay already

 

[that dude173]

i always thought that some fellow NTers were too picky and whined too much about the quality of certain JB products until i saw both kicks today, imgonna have to agree with some of them, this package is not even worth paying retail price for.

i went to a few stores in the miami area to check availability and check them out in person before making a decision, im glad i saw them in person beforepulling the trigger online or even waking up early to try and copp them. i was only interested in getting the package for the XIs let just say JB didntdeliver with these

. XI- the leather on the backside around theankle IMO has variant feel to it, is hard/stiff (nomo). the sole i had no complaints about it, the patent leather like many have said is not true to theprevious retro or OG. XII- the tumble/peeble (whatever u wish to call it) leather is not consistent like the retros were, it seems like dull and shiny werethe black area is, IMO it should of been all dull or all shiny, it def has a cheap leather feel to it.

my 2 cents if you have the right funds you are better off getting some retros or if you are lucky get the package for way under retail.

good luck to those trying to copp.

I thought Finsh Line got in trouble for doing pre-orders on Jordans in the beginning of the year so they stopped after the first or second CDP. That could justbe around my way though.

I just called the two closest Finish Lines to me and they both said they are not allowed to do pre-orders.

Although both shoes are my favorites of all time, I've decided not to get a pair after reading and seeing the quality on these. I'll try to flipthese if I can order them online, but I'm not standing in line for them. Good luck to everyone trying to cop a pair. I'll reallocate my funds towardsome eggplant foams.
JB, there needs to be a reshuffling of upper management with new direction because the current direction only points down.

I was there at that finishline trying to do a pre order. 30 mins b4 they open the manager ( another member on NT) came out with a sign showingonly sz 8-10 and then size 14 available for preorder. The other sizes were preordered already when you purchased either the 6 rings or the fusion 20s. Thepreorder is just writing down your name and guaratees you that size on release day.... sucked but oh well should have woke up earlier.

I was comparing them to the CDP, and the CDP has a cleaner look to them overall.

yea...and the OG's ......too much patent and its all high up on the shoe and crap
looks weird.

But the 01 retro's look better.........01>CDP>OG

its just my opinion and im sorry i don't like OG's just because they're OG's
i think they the patent leather cut looks weird and thats me.

OG's look better because of the quality materials and the more well shaped toe-box. The '01 toe box looks huge and bulky. So once again,

 

[ajwill307]

Finally after over ten years of waiting for the XI's I just got my box in the mail!! Now it on to friday night for the next pair.

 

[ineed23s]

OMG .... That MARTIN clip ^^^^ was TOOOOOOO funny ... very rarely does the internet make me LAUGH OUT LOUD ... but I did in that case ... CLASSIC ...

 

[mortalmonkey]

Martin was always rockin' heat on that show!

 

[retroman23]
