I just think he meant those that make a big deal out of NA being on any retro

Well obviously to the 'NA crew' the logo is a big deal. There's also a 'shape crew' that's always complaining about banana shapes, too high, too short etc. It all depends what matters to you. Blk cement 4s are the only jumpman Js I've bought (1-6) and while they're ok, I'd love them with NA.
I realize some people think the logo doesn't matter but I happen to feel like it ruins those models and makes them look way off from the ogs so that's why I skip all of those. With NA though I'd buy all the og cws.

One of my buddies just traded 5s plus 550 for these and some concords...saw it on IG and they were fake!
I feel bad for pointing it out and the fact he dropped that much.

No he took it down and I asked him to send me some pics of the concords. He said he will when he gets home. But they were obvious fake, the elephant print was painted on and the NA looked all messed up. Thats all I could see from the angle he posted.

True.. It is easy to speak in hindsight.
But I didn't need hindsight for this release.
I said from jump that this was another obvious cash grab by JB.
They marked the shoe up 33% from the last time it released.
All because it has NA on the back.. They aren't even OG
And they made it internet only to hype them up..
JB knows with all the hype.. They can produce more..
And stock is guaranteed to sell out on the internet because of all the bots/programs.. Even at $200.
There was no reason to make these super limited. JB is about that money.

why would it make me a hypocrite? those were made with NO OPTION to buy a nike air version..COMPLETELY different climate now
with white and cements in da wild BOTH DS with nike air AND da jumpman, given that option im picking da nike air version every single
time, and prices on ebay reflect that..people are dumping their jumpman III's and upgrading for da nike air version, which is esssentially
da same shoe, but that logo makes that sneaker so much more OG looking.

And I was just thinking about this...... to those that copped, if JB gave em a vintage look like the Infra 90s that came out this year with the yellow midsole, would anyone change their opinion on copping?

Jumpman 3's are being dropped because the 88s seem to be higher quality, if they offered the 2013 3's with both nike air and jumpman I'd cop the jumpman. Jumpman just looks cleaner to me. I really don't care that it isn't true to the OG as long as the quality is there.

IMO the Jumpman does look better, mainly because how big the jumpman is on the tongue and the 3's were the first shoe to have it, but having Nike on the back of some brand new cement 3's is like taking a time machine back in time.

The NA does look better. You dudes are just haters. I'm not an OG head but there's a bunch of them that's been waiting for a long time for JB/Nike to retro J's with the NA, not only these III's, but IV's, V's, & VI's as well..

So, did I get scammed? I mean I bought on eBay through PayPal, so I should be protected. The guy even has a return policy. Same guy (different name) was selling presale for $200. Anyone but those?
what do you guys think?

Most likely yes. If price is too good to be true than it most likely is. Under retail doesn't seem fishy to you? Come on man.

Yeah, but being protected through the eBay and PayPal policies lowered my guard a little bit. I know I'll get my loot back, at least.

Oh, it seems fishy, but with eBay and PayPal protection I let let my guard down a little. I should get my money back, at least. I took a calculated risk.
