I wish they would of switched things up.

What's up with the carbon fiber in the middle? I think these are gonna come pre cracked just like my jams came last yr....
I'm skipping this release.
No way man. They're ok, but they're just not worth it. Good luck copping your pair.
Better cross your fingers and hope you get a decent pair

^^I'm wit you on that RICO. would've been nice to see a different assortment for this release, Box Wise, but I'm satisfied nonetheless. Never understood though the rational on which shoes to provide the retro card, with the ones that didn't get one. I guess the commemorative box compensates for no retro card then!

In that case, I got 20 DS pairs of 2001 Cool Grey 11's just sitting in my closet.
Don't know when or why I have them, but I really want a pair of 2010's to go with my collection.

I ran with the B-Grade outlet game man. This is what you find. It's not bad when you're paying $79.99 for a pair. But $265 for a pair and you get this? Yeah. I guess I value my money more than the other guy.
It's that same attitude which is why JB can get away with raising the price because they put it in a spiffy box and lower the quality. Any shoe that's dope will be called dope. I love these CG XI's. But a B-Grade is a B-Grade. Let's call a spade a spade. It is what it is. If y'all spending extra on them to get them early, cool. People should be aware of what they're buying into. There's always "that" guy in a thread that expects retail quality, buys early, and posts pics of the "quality" they got.
BTW, there's this great program called MS Paint. Takes 8 seconds to draw two circles and a straight line.
QFFFFFT.
IT'S COOL IF YOU PAYING OUTLET PRICES, THEN I CAN LIVE WITH THE DEFECTS. BUT EARLY RELEASE PRICE FOR B GRADES? NAH YO, NEVER AGAIN FOR ME. THEY CAN HOLD ON TO THAT.

Yeah...I remember when you was jumping all over early release during the beginning of this year and late last year. I always suspected that these early releases were B-Grades. I've seen your mind change about early releases as of lately, so I know that you must have figured out that it wasn't worth the dough to get early releases; especially if they're B-Grades. How many of those early releases looked different from the actual release? Can you give some examples? Oh yeah, who were some of the people or sites that you were copping from? It was be greatly appreciated if you share this, because this forum is supposed to inform

not all early releases r bgrade. there is just no quality control over these pairs.
sellers dont care about the buyers. they just want their money. so if you are unlucky enuff to get a really bad pair, then u r just SOL.
thats the main risk in buying early. getting defective products with no warranty.
we saw it on the true blue 3, space jams, and more.

These kinda suck for real. All these new XI's releases have that slim toe-box. I think that's why they all have that uncomfort when you wear them. It just looks like there was more shoe around the toe-area before. I'm wary about these.

YES SIR, YOU ARE CORRECT. I'VE COPPED EVERY SINGLE PAIR OF JORDANS THAT CAME OUT STARTING WITH THE TRUE BLUE 3'S LAST YEAR EARLY. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SPACE JAMS, INFRARED PACK, AND CHERRY 12'S WHICH I BOUGHT IN STORE FOR LESS THAN RETAIL. EVERY SINGLE ONE LOOKED NOTICABLY DIFFERENT FROM THE ACTUAL RELEASE. SO MUCH SO, AND I HATE TO ADMIT, THAT I HAD TO BUY THE ACTUAL RELEASE AND SWITCH MY EARLY RELEASE PAIR WITH THE ACTUAL RELEASE AND THEN RETURN THEM BECAUSE THESE SITES WOULDN'T ACCEPT RETURNS. THE FACT OF NOT HAVING THE ORIGINAL BOX ALSO IRKED ME AS WELL.Originally Posted by sincere

I MEAN LIKE WHAT ONE OF THE DUDES IN HERE SAID IF YOU DONT LIVE CLOSE TO A SNEAKERSPOT THAN IT MIGHT BE WORTH THE RISK OF BUYING EARLY IF YOU DONT CARE ABOUT DEFECTS OR HAVING THE ORIGINAL BOX BUT I FELT LIKE A FOOL BUYING EARLY B GRADES FOR 250 SOMETIMES CLOSE TO 300 DOLLARS SHIPPED AND THEN FIND OUT COME RELEASE DAY THAT THEY ARE SITTING ON THE SHELVES. EVEN JAMS SAT UP HERE. I BOUGHT MY SIZE 2 WEEKS AFTER RELEASE DATE....SO FROM NOW ON I JUST CHILL AND WAIT FOR THEM TO DROP IN STORE AND HIT UP MY CONNECT FOR THAT PLAYER PRICE
EXAMPLES...HMMM, THE MOST NOTICABLE PAIR I BOUGHT THAT WAS OFF WERE THE TRUE BLUE 3'S, BRED 12'S AND THE WHITE VARSITY RED 6'S. ALL HAD THAT PAUL WALL SITTIN SIDEWAYS TONGUE THAT WERE TOO SHORT. CAME DIRTY IN THE BOX LIKE THEY HITCHED A RIDE IN A SLAVE SHIP FROM CHINA. MATTER OF FACT EVERY PAIR I BOUGHT CAME DINGY. LIKE *@@? WHOEVER IS STEALING THESE SHOES NEEDS TO WASH THEIR HANDS OR SOME %^&*. LINES AND STITCHING ON EACH SHOE WAS PHUUCKED UP. BUT HEY I MAY BE A PERFECTIONIST. O, AND I THINK I BOUGHT FROM JUST ABOUT EVERYONE BUT THESE WERE THE WORSE:
AIR RANDY
PROMO SHOES
VMV
OSNEAKER
ETC......

These sites/sellers you listed always sell shoes early for ridiculous prices. We're talking about like at least 100 over retail, not including shipping. I think for $40~50 shipped overseas, it is fairly reasonable, which is what the 2 guys in this thread buying early said they pay for.Originally Posted by memphissfinest
