As if Footlocker/Footaction/Champs employees didn't already feel superior enough, they keep riding their high horses with these raffle tickets.
Some store managers are cool but other are freakin' snobs.
Oh and "Ghost Chairs" really? I know it's Inglewood but damn.

The mangers are cool at the Footaction in Inglewood, unlike some other managers I've ran into. At least the guy only had one ghost chair, but he was saying how he's been to the pen and if anything happens he's gonna shut the release down and start fighting.

okay little boy, let's play...
1) regarding price point, your argument is invalid... it does not matter what previous retail price points were, $170 is $170, and the consumer index ESTIMATING a $213 cost does not make it 'cheaper today than it was upon release'... it means that the shoe is $170 today, plain and simple.
2) why assume I am done with retros? I love the shoes that I purchase, and wear them with pride. "the leather might not be the same, those days are long gone on most retros", so does that justify purchasing whatever comes out and living with it? nah son, the consumer ALWAYS has the choice to purchase a shoe or not, and for ME, the CONSUMER, I like the 13 to play hoops in. These were tanks on the court, and the retro version is not made to play hoops in, therefore IN MY OPINION they butchered a classic... these were one of my favorite shoes that I played hoops in when I was in high school, yeah the OG version that probably came out when you were born.
you want these shoes? buy them... if not, don't... either way, find something to do with your time rather than attempt to play lawyer with my posts...
have a great day

Couple things...
1) With the past few releases a lot of people have brought up the quality a lot..."how does it compare with 2010" etc, etc etc...I feel its unnecessary...Just accept what you receive
2) If you say "local" FNL or FTL or whatever...can you provide a city perhaps just to inform others
Hope i luck up on a pair come saturday

The classic "little boy" retort. Yup, you caught me. I only had 3 pairs of XIII that I played basketball in during 1997-1998. Clearly I have no frame of reference here. You're whining about a $20 increase over 15 years when the cost of living in this country has gone up by about 3x that much. You have no leg to stand on.
As far as playing hoops in retros, again, this isn't some quick change that happened overnight. They aren't being purchased by the vast majority of consumers as a performance shoe. You haven't even held them, put your feet in them, etc. and you're knocking them as unacceptable to play in. What Jordan retro is acceptable to play in? What is it specifically that you've seen about these that makes them so horrible?
Just keep it moving, your entire post is laughable, and you just come off as a whiney loser as others have pointed out.

Even though you're new, it seems as if you've never bought Jordans before.

lol... glad you are a grown man and not a kid behind a keyboard...
I am not whining about the price point, $170 is an easily affordable price for me... but for a basketball shoe that I can't hoop in, these are a no go. Mostly all other retros that I recently purchased (royals, 88 threes, 4s, etc) were not shoes that I have nor ever will hoop in, like you mentioned 'not a performance shoe', so it was easy for me to justify my purchase... the 13s however? as mentioned before, are a performance model IMO
and not that it matters (because I do not want to go back and forth arguing about SHOES) but I did hold these in my hand, try them on, and I don't like the feel of them
