Official Air Jordan XI Concord Release thread 12/23/11 NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!

[sosmoove]

CT has me with two orders in my purchase history but I only have one pending on my CC so I can see how their system is out of wack after the release. Needless to say I expect at least one of those.

[cwoodson00]

Still searching for a pair in Houston... any help would be greatly appreciated. Praying to catch a restock lol

This is false information 

I ordered 2 pairs from them and they were shipped out on the 22nd.

Snipes definitely ships to the US. Mine are coming through DHL.

i am salty. i didnt even try to get a pair. my son needs actual things that might give him some direction for christmas.

SORRY nike, married to the game but you broke the vows.

Good post. I'm feeling the same. Guessing you are around my age. Will check back every now and then on ebay for a pair I can wear that isn't outrageously priced. I would never spend $250+ for a pair of 2011 J's. Never.

 

[sourkush]

Crazy release when ur coworkers are talking about , seems like everyone heard about these

how was it? i got a pair via ndc coming so didnt leave the house but imagine it was packed

At least a 1000 heads. Rumor was they gave out 600 blue tickets on hibbets side and 50 orange on the parking garage side. They originally said they weren't doing tickets. When we get there around 7 we were #450 and #451. Everyone was pretty calm throughout the night though. The cops and the security guards weren't sharing information of course. I didn't stay until everyone left, but if you didn't have a ticket you weren't getting a pair. Don't understand why these employees act like a Jordan release is a top secret mission. 

im in tampa too but my boy waited on the dillards side and they didnt have any problem coppin their/my pair and the funny thing about that is that the citrus park mall(which is the nicer side of town) got shut down until more 5 oh showed up to take control over the madness. oh yeah my boys were 146 and like 300 and got theirs no problem, stay classy tampa!

Came up completely empty on Eastbay after trying to call from midnight to 3AM, only to receive the busy tone the whole night. Then I sat back and thought, the ratio of call center reps to members/customers are probably the similar for each line anyway, and the membership probably won't give you any clear advantage.

You guys probably missed it but the Eastbay Rep said that all the phone lines were going to be treated the same, no special access for the VIP members.

Yea, we were originally on the dillards side too when there were only 3 or so people over there. Because we already had our tickets and no one was giving info we went to the other side. We had no problem getting our pairs either, but didn't get out of the mall until 2am and then another 30 minute drive over the bridge to Clearwater. The only time you'll see me at that mall is for a release.

nah man, look careful, theres a significant difference. even the blue tint on sole is different. 2 3 in the back isnt stretched out on legit pair. patent leather is symmetrical. yellowed lace loops. I can spot them on ebay by just looking, if they posted real pics and not stock pics.

yeah seriously if they're so ugly then why don't they sell them to those that actually wanna cop 'em

But heres the thing they didn't cop, they came up empty handed.

 

[tupac003]

I saw all the posts of orders being cancelled from ndc and started to get worried. Woke up this morning to shipping confirmation from ndc. I paid with paypal and had one of the phantom order confirmation emails! Feeling great right now!

the only thing you get with that membership is shipping. you get no VIP treatment at all. and that 25% discount with everything excluded all you buy is some damn socks.

ever since purchasing the gold membership i havent been able to get anything from eastbay. (BC3, Cannon, China, Concords) 

before that i was batting 1000

Naw, these sold out with the quickness here too. IIRC within a week or two of FL getting preorders going, they had to put a stop on for all of Canada since there was no more to go around.

My FL was sold out of every size except two 7s...which someone promptly scooped up 10 minutes after the store opened.

My boy showed me his SDS pair and I burst out laughing compared to my finishline pair. So many slight differences and he paid double. If I didn't buy my pair in store I would of passed. Lot of dudes about to get over.

who are you and wheres memphis???

Lol, I'm posting from my iPhone while here on vacation. CAPS will return soon.
