It went from being a simple well put together dunk to a work of beauty for me. I'm a sucker for the nylon tongue, and it's why I chase the non SB pre 2002 stuff I can get my hands on.

My first pair came in the pack and it was 9/10 maybe. Second pair was on its own and it was 8/10 for sure. I bought them as beaters and I wore them everywhere. Still sold them for what I paid so on my pairs of Raging bulls minus fees I've broken even and got to wear the red suede's more than 30 times. I can't get as down on the 3m 5's. I was just never a big fan of 3m. Unless you're on the court and people are snapping photos (or running at night) 3m is just about useless. To me, they're an all black shoe. It's like glow in the dark. Cool concept, but with normal wear it is just not noticeable.If I saw one for 240 shipped I'd grab it best I saw was 260 and they were about 7.5/10, that was an awesome pack in my opinion though, the black pair were dope as hell too
like 9 space jams from 2000 i think and supreme white and red highs
For me, the Nylon tongue was actually THE defining factor for me liking the SOMP's. I was one of those people, and I'm not ashamed to admit it, who was saying "what's the big deal about these?" Once better pictures surfaced, and I saw that Nylon it was game over and I got 2 pairs.It went from being a simple well put together dunk to a work of beauty for me.

Exact same here! I'm a sucker for black on black. don't get me started on black midsoles lol then they have gum outsole. Probably was a mistake for me to requests on foot pics of them.I may have to get past the stars.....I've been liking that black on black and that gum bottom but man, those stars!!! Stop with the pics before I jump off the fence lol
My homie from Harlem wanted to buy a pair of Mints last year after the Concord release and I tried to help him find his pair but to my surprise, they were all gone. I remembered seeing them on shelves for MONTHS too, and even on sale, like you said. I just could not find them, and I was shocked. It was like the Birch's. Sat for months, no one bought them, now try to find a pair and you can't get for retail anywhere.It's not like I'm saying all releases have to be wild and crazy. Personally, I'm all for darker(gray/black) colorways but it'd be nice to see a memorable dunk with some staying power. Like the way people go " Are those the [*insert Jedis/De La Souls/Unkles*]?!?! I remember when those dropped, ahh... what a great shoe.", I feel like we need something once a year with a just a little extra "OOMPH".
Who knows. We might just get it sometime this year.
That’s the thing, I think we are getting those types of releases but we aren’t really appreciating them as much because it recently dropped and we’re copping other things on the horizon. I think when people look back at the YOTH and S.O.M.P (especially the S.O.M.P) they will say those exact things. I agree with Mints as well, I think that it should be an organic kind of thing. I remember when the Mint Dunk Low was EVERYWHERE on max sale and people passed, now you almost can’t find them anywhere and some of the same people that passed are regretting it.
I got my Hacky Sack lows in today and I'm really not impressed. First of all, both toe boxes have the exact same print. I mean to the pixel (haha cuz these are printed). That's annoying cuz I wanted them to be different. But my next beef is the print itself looks really out of focus or something, like they used a deskjet printer to make my shoes. I might end up selling because they do not look nearly as good in hand (at least my pair) as they did in photos. Onto the JPack highs, I copped today from Rukus. I'll give a more thorough review on those when I get them in hand. I like the look so far.
Hacky sacks, pass. J-pack highs, pass. J-pack lows, pass. 4th of July's = COPPED.
I know there's a rule about ebay live links... But how about screen shots? Either way I doubt anybody of is will " jump " on this "deal"....
Come on man SMH... $125 to over $300....

Sorry if been posted hard to keep up with this thread ...
Yep I copped Birchs on sale for like $80 shipped on ccs almost a year after they released. I started watching youtube review vids of em and went ahead and copped. Was surprised when I got em in hand that they were still sitting around.

What size black rains? I remember seeing some on a few sites the other day.
4th of july will deff be picked up. just need to track down these MIAs lol. I would be content with copping black rains but I can't justify paying over box.
Looking forward to this. I'm really liking the look of them will def hit up my local once they drop.
