Man we don't got nothing in WV. The capital city area retailers didn't get any pairs of this release.
Smh. Would love a Niketown or hoh here.

Here's my 2 pairs I picked up from Eastbay about 5:05am. Thought I was too late but I guess I wasn't. They were a lot easier to cop on eastbay than I thought. Another 2 are coming from Finishline this friday that I thought were cancelled but weren't. That order went in around 5:25am I think. Just because I have more than 3 doesn't mean I'm reselling. The other 3 are going to friends who I offered to look out for so they wouldn't have to wake up so early and they could stay asleep. Eastbay shipped them triple boxed. That's a first for 2 pairs..

i agree with this to a point. "selling" and "reselling" are two different things. of course someone would charge more than they paid for an older or original shoe because they are becoming more and more scarce with each passing year resulting in a higher price(depending on condition). its completely different than what is happening now which is: people buying up the stock IMMEDIATELY BEFORE the people who actually want them are able to get them. then turning around and trying to sell them to these people(at double the price) like "hey, if you wanted them for what i paid you should have tried harder than me..."![]()
With that quoted I got 3 pairs, keeping 1 pair and helping two others, trading for shoes I missed out.
I coulda copped atleast 5 pairs but I dont wanna hold onto the pairs for long, I have no space and time as it is to get rid of them.

now, lets take a poll. orange or blue swap? stock is fresh but with everyone running around with these shoes, sometimes you have to switch it up and innovate in order to stand out and represent.

yeah the matte finish on the midsoles really makes a difference. but they did the same thing with the white cement 4s and TB IIIs. that matte finish really prevents paint cracking. Ive worn my 2011 Black Cement IIIs 20+ times and I have yet to see a paint chip thanks to spraying them with matte finishOriginally Posted by Sneakerfan1

Glad that you got them.
I may sit on my pair and cop some orange laces to toss in them down the road. I don't "love" this colorway, but these definitely look a lot better in person than I expected them to. Everyone I've shown them to (people who aren't into sneakers) told me to keep them. Why JB can't use a matte finish like this on all of their III's and IVs is beyond me.

Did you tape off the shoes in order to do this? What brand did you use? Krylon?Originally Posted by sthebest
