Space Jams hit the Kissimmee Clearance Outlet here in Orlando Florida about a month and a half ago in April. They were $79.99 and there was a line overnight. They had over 50 pairs. There was pretty much no chance to get them. But they hit. You obviously don't know.Originally Posted by HAGS
I'm not trying to get into your little quarrel but may I ask what outlet you shop at? Space Jams at outlets stores? I doubt it. B-grades, yes. I think people think of outlets as staying for sale at the store for months then transferring their unsold merchandise to outlet stores. We know this did not happen anywhere with Space Jams. There may have been a pair or two that were lost or hidden that made it's way to outlets but we all know that isn't what we mean when someone says "hit the outlets". This is usually regarded as saying they won't sell well. These will sell very well as did the black/varsity reds. If you go to a site like eastbay or finishline they don't even have the blk/VRs or if they do they are limited sizes, so those aren't typical "outlet shoes". AN outlet shoe usually is discounted in price on those sites first, the VR was not and I doubt these will either. Yes, they will show up at some outlet store somewhere but so will the infrared pack (at your outlet store at least, not mine!)I just think you guys have a different opinion of what makes an outlet shoe and that's what has gotten both of your panties all bunched up. Just enjoy your shoes!Originally Posted by Zero 0123
When you make DUMB statements like this here buddy, it really shows how much you know. It's one thing to say that they didn't hit. It's another to still be talking like a little kid after you've been PROVEN to be wrong. I'm not going to threadcrap and quote the whole thread, but seriously go back and read what you wrote. I got nothing against you, and I'm def not getting emotional on the internet. I know you're a pretty cool guy. I've dealt with you before. I'm just surprised you keep putting your foot in your mouth. All shoes hit the outlets man. Space Jams did. Every shoe does. It's the fact these won't even sell out on NDC/Eastbay/FNL/Champs/FTL website on RD.
I hope everyone can get their pair. I'm glad these are a GR and aren't limited so it will be much easier for everyone to cop. This is how all releases should be, and not a crazy egg hunt. I'd be surprised to see these all sell out on RD, especially with the quantity JB is putting out. I'm hoping they hit Swoosh with the discount on RD.
You can shop at any outlet in the United States of America. All you have to do is get the product number on the box of the shoe you are looking for and call any outlet. Ask them to do a Nike stock search, and they can find if they are at stores or not, and also if they are in stock and which outlets have them. It takes 5 minutes max, and you get a shoe you are looking for at a discounted price. Do I buy a lot from the outlets? No. I have a Swoosh account and get discounted A grades. Regardless of what you think or what you want to believe, each Nike shoe hits the outlets. The VR's hit the outlets 2 weeks after release, and they have hit multiple outlets across the nation in Feb-March.
Most GR Jordans hit the outlets nowadays. To say they won't and they will sell out on RD so buy them fast is just fueling the hype machine. Name me one GR Jordan besides the Space Jams that sold out on RD. I'm not saying these are an "outlet worthy" shoe. I personally love these and will be copping. But for someone to hype them up to get more resale value? No thanks.
You should really check out the NT Outlet Thread. There is a plethora of information from a lot of good guys here on NT. And you can get them cheap. You'd be surprised as to what hits the outlets. The Motorsport VI's (which were supposedly limited) and the Oreo VI's hit this month.
