That's not exactly true..a lot of people were on hold with Nike so I figure they got priority if they called before you submitted your order. Same goes for the people who tried to order after they restarted the site...while they were refreshing/waiting on NDC twitter to post the link others were already "in line" so to speak on the phone.Originally Posted by jst628
oh, i'll call and see what's up, thanks for the warning about this though.Originally Posted by Zyzz
i guess phones orders get priority over everyone. i think thats what screwed people, A LOTT of people placed orders over the phone.Originally Posted by jst628
i don't get it, my order was through before the site even crashed, why would mine be cancelled over the people who ordered after they restarted the server?
I dont think its gonna work in a cycle like that. It all depends on what JB decides to drop. Part of the reason for the relative calm in 06-10 was because of Gentry, (whos no longer at JB) releasing some god awful experimentations like spizike/dubzero/6rings etc. and the CDP packs which turned off a lot of customers who didnt wanna pay the price of 2 for only one shoe they wanted, and other than some bad quality IV's, and some decent V's not too many grails dropped either.Originally Posted by Rex Ryan
it's crazy what people are paying for these. it reminds me of 2005 all over again.
when you think about it, all this hype and demand goes through cycles and phases. back in 2004-2005 almost every retro coming out sold out fast. even stuff like the all black x's
fast forward to late 2006, military iv's came out (which were quite a few peoples grails) and they sat for quite a while, the aqua viii's which go for alot now sat for months in some areas as did the playoff viii's, the white red xii's sat and even went on sale after a few months (yeah they came out days before the space jams) but the white royal x's were sandwiches inbetween the red foams and the white cement iv's and they sold out quick.
it's crazy how between 04-late 05 almost everything sold out or moved quickly.
sneakers that were og models being retroed for the first time aquas, playoff viii's, white red xii's sat for months in some locations (While if they were to come out today they would all sell out on the release date)
i honestly wouldn't be suprised if things die down again for a while like the way they did between 2006-2010

I'm extremely fortunate to be one of the NDC-campers to get em Friday night. I was on my computer from 11PM to 3:30 AM (the wife loved this on a Friday night) and ended up getting them by continually trying to log in (even before they were supposed to tweet the link again after re-booting.)
These launches just keep getting crazier, and crazier.
I'm gonna need that luck again this friday with the Foams..

Don't. They were just about the worst 4's for cracking paint. Dumped my pairs. Not dealing with that garbage.
Back to Cements, surprised no one's complaining about the front set of lace holders not having the base flares the OG and 1999's did. Why JB cuts corners on stuff like that is dumbfounding.
they are def factory laced super tight... i totally unlaced my pair & relaced them while i had them onOriginally Posted by jballerNY
skinny jeans and tight laced cement IVs, oh boy
