What's up everybody? Page 92
(Last time I looked a couple of days ago it was at 30something).
Here's my story : Drank a good amount of Henny last night, crashed at about 3:30am, woke up at 7am(for a pair of shoes!
) and drove to the mall. I got to the mall at about 7:30am. Finishline didn't have my size. Walked to Champs, 6th in line. They let us in 2 at time. When I got to the counter, they had 3 pairs of fire reds in size 12, and 1 pair of flips in size 12. I asked the guy behind the counter to please bring out every size 12. When he brought them out, I looked over and tried on each pair(Which, the guy did seem to mind a little bit that I was doing this. Quite frankly though, I didn't care. I was there to buy the best pair of J's structurally and cosmetically. Had to add that little note because that's how it seems to go... everyone just opens up the box and shuts it right away without even trying on the shoes). I'm very glad that I'm not a dumbass and know to try something on before I buy it. The reason I was meticulous about this, is that.. for me, III's seem to have a problem sometimes with the midsole of the left shoe protruding into the shoe and causing discomfort to your arch area. When I tried on the first pair, I noticed the forementioned problem immediately. Second pair, same problem. Very noticable and worse than the first pair. At this point, I'm thinkin "****, I'm not gonna be able cop these III's that I've been waiting for for months due to this problem". Took out the 3rd pair, noticed they were flawless cosmetically like the other pairs, and luckily, there was no problem at all with the midsole protruding into the shoe causing discomfort. Bought that pair and checked out the flips. Great quality on the flips, but that didn't change the fact that they were ugly to me. OD on the cement print for sure.
Checked out the other 3 spots to see how big the crowd was and to check out the Harbors. I thought the harbors looked okay(definitely better than the flips), but they were not a must-have.
Left the mall after chillin and smokin for about 10 minutes or so with some heads I had just met in the mall. Here I am, still up and posting a long @#%$ story on NikeTalk about how I purchased a pair of shoes. Crazy talk. I wish obtaining Jordans was as easy as it was when I was a kid. Peace everyone, holla back if you have a comment.
P.S. These III's are just NASTY. Excellent quality. JB surprisingly did justice to my favorite J. Very pleased with my purchase.
