To the people who bought these, do they look like they'll easily get ashy?

What??? That's bizarre. Pictures?
Sorry for the crappy pic.
Or Eastbay could just up their online game to accommodate us shoeheads and our gobs of money we throw at these companies. I made a thread about this when the Royal Foamposites released and just got straight clowned but people eventually see the light when it affects them. None of this is directed at you, Binye. Ur post was just the easiest to quote for this. It's NDC all the way for me with midnite releases. I only use Eastbay when I can cop on disco now.Originally Posted by EastbayRep
I am sorry to hear you had issues with those releases with us. With extremely limited launches like the Grinch's, it really does comes down to luck, but we did have an issue with our phone system the morning they launched causing people that called in early to miss out. Everyone and their mother were trying to get the Cool Grey's. But not being able to get the Flint's or the Cement 3's... hmmm.Originally Posted by BinYe

Which major releases did you not get that you were trying for?

system overload (i.e. 45 minute waits... that then transitions to 1 1/2... then ultimate
letdown because they've sold out - this applies to phone transactions as well) were
the Flints, Cool Grey's, Grinch Kobe's and the Cement 3's (yeah, even the cement
3's).
If you keep getting check out timers at 45 minutes or more when you first check out, I would recommend trying to call your order in right when they release. I am not sure when you normally call in for releases, but if you call in right at 12 AM ET or a little before that, you should have no problem grabbing a general release shoe. Hope this helps you.

I wouldn't wear those if I were you!! That factory defect makes those priceless IMO man. Buy a second pair to wear and keep those stored away!
I got to the mall 10 mins before FL opened, there were only 6-7 people, easy cop for me

Just because someone cancelled it doesn't mean it's up right away. Will probably go up in the wee hours of the AM tonight or restock on Monday early AM like usual...Originally Posted by maicolkickhead

if anybody watched Ole Miss play this year, their ENTIRE team had retros on. even dudes on the bench were rockin Hare 7's. Tyus and Boynton of Florida both had XI's also, and some other guard had playoff XIII'sOriginally Posted by boogeda

ball at your own discretion. imo retro j's are not really performance based. many ppl buying these purchase them for nostalgic reasons and casual wear.
yeah me too. it's actually cool to see that they were balling in them. i'm just not sure how well they hold up after a few wears, which is what i look for when buying shoes to ball in.

I like the idea of keeping them DS, but I don't have the $$ to rock 'n stock. So if I can't get an exchange, screw it. I haven't wanted a pair of kicks this bad since the '01 retro black/cement III's.
