Air Jordan 5 "Grape" MAY 4th, 2013 - $160

[footsoldier]

I'm fortune enough to live in a city that is big enough to receive a good amount of each release, but small enough to where the demand isn't through the roof for J's. If it ends up the way I'm thinking/hoping itll be similar to the white/black XIII release and should be able to grab fairly easy and perhaps even help some NTers who strike out

I'm kind of in the same boat, just that demand in my city has picked as of late because half the people think they can flip every GR Jordan and sell for $300 

. My footlocker had over 60 pairs of the 13's and the 8's. Just as many grapes from what they're saying.

Going to go to the mall in a bit and try to put my name in the rafflesesess.

Anyone ever win anything at a Shoe Palace? They recently built one over here and for their raffle system apparently they just get your info and submit it to their HQ and HQ randomly picks the names.

I don't understand why a lot of people are thinking just because it's a GR they will be easier to get. And comparing these to the Fire Reds back in Jan. is just dumb when the hype was still on the bred 11's & 13's. The last hyped GR was the HGG's and in no shape or form were they an easy cop. Expect this release to be even worse. No matter how many pair they make it won't meet the demand. As usual you'll see these easy cop theorists posting sob stories come 5/4 with the infamous "any word on a restock?" questions.

Truth. The a mount of inquiries I've had for these is ridiculous. If you're banking on getting an RSVP from Nike stores... forget about it. /nochance.

Detroit guaranteed ticket... Copped. Happy me!!

 

[2potroast3]

Got my guaranteed size ticket from a spot that was supposed to hand em out at 5pm

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

I wish people knew how to act here.. then maybe they would do a guaranteed ticket thing here, but they don't so it's strictly raffles  

 

[drewsone]

Yup. Wish we did guaranteed too. But over here it's all raffle and all luck.

Sneakheat will be putting up pairs for retail at 5pm est

are they legit? Is that the reason for the gif? lol

are they legit? Is that the reason for the gif? lol 

They claim to be.. they dropped these a few months back, and they were selling them below retail, and they said that they were 100% legit, but i seen some of the pairs they sold, and they looked terrible..

 

[drewsone]

They did a similar thing where they did a FSR of the Grapes and bred 11s under retail a couple of weeks ago. They kind of did it out of nowhere I think as a launch/grand opening strategy. But if you go to the earlier pages of this thread like i think around page 20, maybe the teens, I posted pics of what their pairs looked like from their FB when they were doing that initial launch.

However they have a lot of supporters because they've linked up with Karmaloop for giveaways and stuff.

Last I heard about that site, they claimed to be restocking bred 11s for retail. Deadline came and no shoes, don't know how legit or not legit they are but the sites seems to be run by kids.

some site sold grapes under retail?

what

 

[michigan]

I think the only people who should be paying over retail for these are the people who live 50 plus miles away from any shoe store that's getting them.  For them it's justified since it will be tougher for them to pick up since their only shot is online. 

   For people who have shoe stores near them.  Just relax and wait to see if you get them for retail from your local shoe stores first.  Don't you guys realize that Jordan Brand will more then likely have a couple of restocks.   I mean besides the 88 3's and the black/royal 1's every other retro that has released this year has already been restocked a couple of times.   Don't fall victim to paying a reseller outrageous prices for these just be patient and you will get your pair.

Sounds like they are moving early pairs to me.

 

[two stacks]

i dont trust any of these secondary sites besides sneakerpost, 23penny, sneakerst and jsfordays. i do all i can to get releases at retail, THEN i resort to other means of paying more.

They gotta be fakes then.  Who would sell them under retail on one of the most hyped releases of the year?   Just doesn't sound right.  If it sounds to good to be true it probably is.

Houston sharpstown mall guranteed tickets at 3. Line is currently short as hell

funny how people mention 23penny when he SOLD early release/fakes before

only few will actually admit it, sad how no one "remembers"
