AIR JORDAN 11 “GRATITUDE” / THANK YOU - 12/09/2023

[keko jones]

I actually woke up to go to the bathroom at 7:15 and remembered the drop was happening and checked SNKRS.

To my surprise, sizes 11-12 were still available.

Then I remembered that these are $230.

I vowed ten years ago that I would never go back to selling my services under the bridge again.

…so I passed.

Financial Literacy!

Good on you ... how much you got in your bank account though? I mean since we are considering this watching others pockets. Lmao

Hit on 2 different reservations at DSG and scored a personal pair at the Nike store this morning, the other 2 are for my son and brother. I love these, I’m considering going back out today to grab a double up

You did miss it ... but cool beans.

Awesome

[trappedintime]

I sold a copy of What’s Goin On for $155 yesterday so I felt financially literate doubling up this morning

 

[da hen]

3 more acquired mall sweeping, done.

My mall actually got 9 pairs of size 14, absolutely crazy.

I’m onto Cincinnati boys.

These are sitting on ndc EU.

I sent some XI i.e. back to Nike b/c they were defective. When the store credit arrives and these are still available, then I'll grab a pair.

Peace

I appreciate them as a cool looking shoe that’s one of the most important sneakers of all time. But they’re not really my style.

At this stage of my life, I’m basically just a Jordan 1 guy who wears the occasional AF1 or Air Max retro.

I wouldn’t mind owning the Jubilees, Space Jams or Playoffs.

…but i’m not paying resell for them.

 

[ozboi]

By the time I checked they were gone.

What time did it go live? Size 14 the biggest?

I was able to order around 7:50 PST

 

[spiceman80]

Picked up my raffle winner from DTLR. This LNM pair compared to my piss yellow SZ pair is night and day. WTF was Nike/JB thinking with those soles?

I’m not living paycheck to paycheck.

But at my age you gotta start thinking about building a nest egg.

…unless you want to spend your golden years checking receipts at Walmart.

 

[matthijst]

Anyone in Europe got LNM, or is it piss yellow only in EU?

 

[KnowTheLedge]

Well, I don’t know much about shoes like y’all. Since yall are nerds to the max on what factory is better and what not…my bad for being random. ..Just need help with a legit check on concords if anyone has it. Thanks

Concord 11 legit check

With StockX supposedly not legit checking their shoes these days, it had me wondering mine were legit. The shoe trees were questionable for me. I felt like they weren’t as bold as the ones I seen on videos. Also, stitching on the inside is black. I’ve seen them being white in videos and pics...

I was going to pass on these but unfortunately the soles started coming off my 2011 concords so I picked these up..definitely make sure to wear your 11s if you got em because they don't last forever!

Poor is a mindset.

If you buy three pairs of every Jordan you like that has decent value/resale value. Just owning them makes you money from 2010-2016 I was up to 275 pairs or so. All purchased in that window for $210 average. $58K or so. I then sold off a little over 150 pairs during a career change, 2018-2019, for average $400 a piece. Brought in $110k over a year or so as they helped me subsidize my income change. That's a freaking unbeliveable ROI. All size 13. My size. I wore whatever I wanted. A few were sold like new. There are ways to do it where you can have the shoes and the nest egg. You think I'd be in here buying up five pairs of LNM Gratitudes if they were undervalue after a year or so? Nope. Even as a hobby that would be a horrible move. Fix your thinking and you'll be able to have everything.

They went twelve years. What more could you want.

If you still have the other pair plz do a comparison

Yup once I had my LNM pairs in hand. It was hard to look at the SZ pair.

 

[Deleted member 72674]

Snkkroom just canceled my order. **** them.

 

[iTookanL]

Glad everyone was able to get a pair, hoping mine is LNM lol

Done with JD Sports Instore EA especially on holiday 11s.

Every time I go, it's me standing in the 'special line' where they check people out at a snails pace. To top off today, right before swiping my card, the cashier said it's a requirement to donate $5 OR buy one of the $10 or $20 sneaker cleaning kits!!! I asked what's the donation for and where it's going to. She said be right back and went to get the manager. The manager straight up said every one buying the 11s today has to donate or buy sneaker cleaners.

What a scam. They wonder why retail is dying. Ship to me EA or another sneaker store from now on.

I have one LNM, hope my 2nd one is too.

 

[Kierris]

I got one of the yellow sole joints .. but I got them as part of a trio for $450 so I can't really too mad. The Cool Grey's were my main focus anyways

That’s strange. I had no such experience. I wonder if it was just that store. That’s actually quite disturbing smh.
