I'm sure it will pick back up once people's pairs start getting delivered or this alleged restock takes place.

That just goes to show you how bad this reselling thing has become. You haven't seen many on the streets of neither style because most pairs are in the hands of resellers or people on the fence between rocking and reselling. Im the only person I've seen in nyc wear the fears or bel airs so far. I haven't spotted anyone rocking 3labs as well. Also once people get their online orders in, these prices should drop a bit so try to hold out til the end of the week if you plan on paying a reseller.

Yeah i'd say that's a good deal. If you had either and chose to sell one you'd probably get a little more for the Lebrons if anything.

you wont these on the street here:
1. where i live these didnt release in store, the sneaker demand is probably 1%
Mine wont get seen:
2. the weather here is already winter. It snowed for 2 days last week. Sneakers will rarely be worn
3. saving to wear them until next summer (mid june, since it snows into June here)
or
4. someone offers me a ridiculous amount for them

That's the issue right there [emoji]128079[/emoji][emoji]128079[/emoji]. It's sad when you can tell who is a reseller and who is actually going to wear the sneaker. Having 50 something year old men coming to these raffles not even wearing sneakers just to get the pairs to make money is a shame! People have to learn to let it sit. Not buy in to the hype, who knows maybe I could change the way the game is. Sad to say it looks grim from here on out.

What makes you so certain those 50 year old men aren't buying to wear? Because I can say with 100% certainty that when I am 50, it's not going to stop me from wearing sneakers.

if you saw this 50 year old (which i might add has won the last 3 big releases at my local spot.) you would know. plus i found him on craiglist selling each of those shoes. the dude is an obvious reseller.

For the guys who got a pair of Bel Air at NDC, what connections do you guys have? cus im always stuck at waiting line, and end up not getting the shoe. so i was wondering does it have something to do with connection speed while im waiting in line for them. if so, im about to switch to version fios 50mb, and get rid of time warner 20mb.

You're seriously considering switching ISPs just so you have a better chance (not even a certain chance) of getting shoes?
Speed is less relevant than ping. Open command prompt and ping nikestore.com.

I don't understand the problem. It's more useful and probably cheaper than paying reseller prices.

What's ping nikestore.com going to do other than let you know your connecting to the server?

You should change "MEN to MAN"... My boys Uncle is 51 yrs old and still rock Jays... He only rock the OG CWs tho, and don't rock them almost everyday like us younger folks.

either way the "MAN" is a reseller. I know one when i see one.....

Nothing you can do about it... It's part of the game now. You just have to adapt and change the way you approach each release. To me I approach each release like these, try to get them for retail. If I miss out how much do I really want them, and how much am I willing to pay for them. If it's still out of my reach by then, I just simply move on to the next. They're just shoes at the end of the day.

Weird. Seems Nike is taking it's time like they usually do with shipping with this release. Previously before they were getting shoes out very quickly doesn't matter if it's ground or next day and also east or west coast.
