I felt the XIIIs and dont get me wrong the quality on them was nice but they didnt feel like how the MS6 and the IIIs do

I own a pair of MS6 thats why i agreed

^Dope collection man. I've got the white cements, black cements, true blues, and doernbechers. I want to get the Fire Reds too so I have all the OG colorways, but no way am I picking up the '06s with all the midsole issues.
 
Fortunately, I live in an area where as long as I get up and get there when the mall opens, I'll have NO issue getting them in my size. Cats around my neighborhood don't get up early for NOTHING, unless it's soaked in patent leather.

...This coming from a guy who doesnt even have them?  PLEASE STOP!  These are probably the BEST quality retro I have purchased in the last 3 years.  I was going to copp regardless, but these absolutely blew me away.  The leather, amazing.  The fit, on point.  The mid-sole paint, still holding up.  Wore mine for about 4 hours today, and no crease ANYWHERE on the mid-sole, and I am 230lbs. 

If you are going to hate on these, buy them first, wear them, and THEN come in here and tell me what you think about the "bad quality" you speak of.  Untill then, stick to the retro nike forum. 
  
I have to see these for myself and judge these in person....is this really that good?

can't believe it

what did they do differently with the paint? makin me look real stupid right now
 
^ You're going to see them real soon in person lol. Only five more days until release date!!

All the hype about how good the quality is will make me buy multiple pairs!
 
Holy smokes! Went and got my pair reserved today. My dude told me that he'll save me 1 out of the 3 pairs in my size that they received (it's a small store). I'm so pumped for these.

Nice collection of 3s up there. I only need the Flips, White/Cements, and the Fire Reds then I've got my 3s collection complete.

I got one pair at another local spot but they are charging me extra for pre sale but oh well...sad thing is I can't pick up until RD.

They are full of %+%*.

WSS Montebello used to be my go to from 1999-2004, easy and smooth releases all the time.  My cousin used to work there in 1999-2000, so he hid the Jordans in the back until they were marked down,

.  The good ol' days.  Show up at 8am, hit up 7-Eleven across the street, doors open at 9am, and go home.

After 2004 they stopped being consistent with releases, the only lock was their flagship store in Gardena.  It was like an Easter Egg hunt.  I remember trying to get the Grape V's back in 2006,

due to LS's not dropping on Swoosh.

Wish it was back in the days, but times change. Trust me bro not many WSS get good releases anymore. Idk why? Only WSS that get good kicks are the WSS stores in HP, West LA...idk about the ELA area. 
I got an auction I bid for going on for a sz.11 on ebay for a little over retail.....but I'm hoping I get outbid because now I don't want to pay over $165.

I'll see Wednesday if they do feel the same as the MS6 Leather. I've owned a pair and can give a real answer as well.

Maybe what people are saying about the comparison is true...

I didn't mention earlier, but I too own the MS VI and the leather is not the same to me. In my opinion the leather they used on these IIIs is the same leather they used for the white/red XIIIs.
