so wassup, can you be my connect?

Ah man... My list of people I have to take care of on this release is extremly long as is, but if I had extras you know I'd be the first to show love to a local.

So true and hopefully everybody will be too busy getting trying to get the Concords, that I can finally get a pair of SJ's for a reasonable price

This is what I'm banking on and is the reason why I am buying three pairs of the Concords. I only want to keep two pair and then hopefully trade one off for some Space Jams. I believe that these will for sure be fetching more than the Cool Greys and Space Jams. We have to remember that this is probably the most visible and highly recognized Jordan of all time.

if you plan on buying more than two maybe 3 please keep them instead of inflating the price like resellers, god knows how many people want just one pair and not pay 1.5 times whatever reseller prices over retail

what part of the bay do you usually go?
i havent camped out since the dmps. if it is as cutthroat as u say it is i gotta take extra precautions. someone will get hurt the 23rd

and it's forsure $75 for toddlers  I know that 

I WAS GONNA DOUBLE UP ON PAIRS FOR MY DAUGHTER BUT NOW ONLY 1 PAIR WILL BE HAD AND FINISHLINE BETTER ACCEPT THAT WINNERS CIRCLE REWARD $20 OFF WITH THAT AS WELL.

  

@ how wrong he is

Infant/Toddler - $50 (Size 4c-10c)
Pre-School - $75 (Size 10.5c-3y)
Youth - $120 (Size 3.5y-7y)
Mens - 180 (Size 7.5y- )

I've already purchased pairs of each size group.  I can assure these are the accurate prices.

I MEAN I LOVE MY J'S AND ALL BUT DAMN!!! IF I WAS NIKE AND I SAW THAT BEST BELIEVE IM UPPING THE PRICE OF MY KICKS NEXT TIME AROUND...

these kind of thought's DONT need to make it to the jb/nike offices. people are getting scared & paying well above retail but raising the initial price more would be stupid. it costs them around $20 to make a pair so the profit is already well over $170 increasing the price wont stop sites from jacking up the prices, stupid customers need to stop buying from these sites point blank...seriously who the hell buys shoes from 23isback

 

[zebraska24]

CT confirmed my order via email. Glad to grab these in case my other source doesnt come thru.

On the launch event, they said the wristbands were only for first come first serve at the MIDNIGHT. the didn't mention that if you could show up friday afternoon and still cop. Although one employee came out and said NTNY had over a 1,000 pairs. Personally i do believe they have alot of pairs because my friend who works there told me about the inventory but over a 1,000? i think dude was just trying to calm the line down.

Nah, mine are milky, have the msrp tag and all that. i guess they are "legit" compared to the rest.

I AGREE WITH THIS PART 110%... IF IM SELLING AN ITEM FOR X AMOUNT AND OTHERS ARE SELLING MY SAME ITEM FOR DOUBLE THAN WHAT YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE SELLING IT FOR, BEST BELIEVE IM GOING TO INCREASE MY PRICE... NOBODY SHOULD %#+@* ABOUT A 5 BUCK INCREASE IN RETROS SINCE A LOT OF PPL ARE PAYING DOUBLE OF FACE VALUE
WHATEVA THO, THIS IS ALL OFF TOPIC

River Oaks is really bad too. As a resident of Cal City, I can attest to it. Its probably one of THE most hood malls in Illinois. Its so bad that I don't go up there on Saturdays anymore because of the gang fights and robberies that pop off there. 
The line ups are pretty cool though. I've met some chill cats on the occasions I have had to line up for sneakers (which isnt often).

@gottabdashoes - 'cmon son' is a phrase, and no you are probably not older than me (besides the point)
trust me, I KNOW what I am talking about... I already acknowledged that there are gonna be idiots out there, but you are clearly stating to people that they should not even step foot into a mall (a PUBLIC establishment)  cause something might "pop off"... not giving a heads up, you are telling them not to go... take your scare tactics and go home

It's called advice from experience, kid. Even the black cement release was insane there. You still don't know what you're taking about. People are better off going to NT Chi or HOH. I KNOW what I'm talking about because I'm from the area. I suggest you stop talking out of your @%#. And yes, I'm positive I'm older than you. Stop following the crowd with their "clever phrases." You're sounding real ignorant right now telling me to "go home with my tactics." 1. I am home. lol 2. It's not a tactic, I've got my concords. I don't even plan on going out that night. Go your own way and don't worry about what I'm typing if you're not interested in the advice. Thank you, have a nice holiday season.

Nah, mine in milky, the msrp tag and all that. i guess they are "good" compared to the rest.

   Just turn them into beaters.  I was under the impression that some of the pairs sold were legit, if you have legit ones just wear them.  If not who cares what other people think and wear them anyway lol.

 

[mcp4556]

I got stooped into buying from mental kicks and i'm stucked with  it. I ended up buying from UI and Oqium, but not sure what to do with this one too? Frustrated as hell.

 

[jayerell]

NT Miami giving out wristbands today at 5pm. I'll be out of town...this is like the one time this whole break I won't be here. I knew they were going to do this. Guess I'll be camped out somewhere then. SMH.

 

[mints]

Picked up a pair today

I'm pretty happy with it. Now I just hope my second pair comes out as good as this.

Man my mom and pop spot getting their shipment within an hour. Second in line for my 10.5's. People starting to come in with all these BS stories about being loyal and they should get this and get that.

Whats up NT I'ma shoehead from Tampa,FL.. TO THOSE ALSO FROM TAMPA: I just got back from University Mall and I talked to a person in every shoe store and I was told they're having a Midnight release at Footlocker, and the rest of the stores are opening at 8am. They said that security will hand out tickets to those in line for the midnight release with all the sizes on the tickets and that it is strictly ONE TICKET, ONE PAIR per person. ANYWAYSSS.....
