I'm not a big Jordan dude, just pretty much IX's, XI's, and most recently the cement 4's.
I gave myself a 50% of getting these, between the internet and a major city...but...no go.
At 12:01 I was on NDC, FL, etc... FL, Fline, eastbay, etc... those sites were all DONE for. NDC is the only one I was able to get my size in the cart. Once I got there, I finally got all the way to confirmation, then I pressed the button and it apparently didnt go thorugh. I was HEATED. It's 1am and I still havent got them.
Now off to the real world. I'm a lowkey mall, 4am. not too many folks there. By 5am, its about 75 of us. Apparently, I was at the WRONG door because right around 6 am, I saw mall walkers already in there as security came to let us in. Then the mad dash started. Now we're all lined up, waiting for 8am.
And what happens....they have 8 pair. 8 $@+***$ pairs. It's 50 people in line and they have 8 pair. I didnt believe it, which is when I should have left immediately and went to another store.
Basically, I didn't get them. I'm sick about it. I cant justify $350 when I have grown man bills every month. I'm frantically searching for something 300 or below...but I doubt its going to happen. I've never seen anything like this, and I hope that the Cement 4's dont go through this. I've decided to go to every sneaker store I can and talk to EVERY girl around...hopefully i can get one of them to fall in love with me before the release date, lol.

As much as I want to agree with this, I just can't.
Honestly, how a shoe looks doesn't impact how well it will sell as much as hype will (i.e. Dorenbecher IV and Cool Grey XI in my opinion are both
It's an XI, and all it takes are a few celebrities to wear them early and a bunch of first look, closer look, another look and official photos hyping up the shoe for it to get crazy.
I hope that the Columbias are a much more peaceful release, but this trend with the XI isn't looking good for this at all.

I wait get a ticket for the last 14 get my pair then rush home to get 30 mins of sleep before having to work 10 hours with no break the following day!
so yeah I had to fight and only got 30 mins of sleep in 2 days but F it I GOT MY PAIR!
Same here. Got to the mall at like 12 sumthing AM, and wasnt even the 1st one out there. My homeboy and I just watched as ppl came and the flashlight cop kept running ppl off, calling the police and having them cme and run ppl off. That happened all the way til like 6am. Ppl began lining up at different doors. It was a foot race once they opened doors. What sux is that FinishLine didnt even have any to sell the public, so it was footaction or SOL. They only had 12 pairs, minus the ones the emloyees got. Me and my homeboy was at the front of the line outside tho. We tied our kix tight to prepare for the sprint before we even got out the car. While running my blk/red 11s began to feel loose and even more looser to the point where i almost came up out of them, so it was making me go slower, which meant i got passed by a couple ppl. My homeboy slips and almost falls tho, and sumbody even lost their shoes while running. A flashlight cop came and asked who lost a shoe. There was only like 6-7 ppl ahead of me. I wusnt lucky enuff to get my size but i did get a sz 8 (and was was blessed to wake up this AM to see sumbody wanting to trade for my size on ISS/@$@%+%*#!#++$.) I left the mall at like 730, went to Mickey Ds for breakfast and went to wrk at 8am. Str8 zombie mode but got some power naps in bcuz im in delivery and we had a sh-tload of driving to do. This was my 1st and last time chasing after a pair of kicks(one for my lady). But hey, i got em..

You know why the Columbia's will be crazy too, because of this release
It will be more demand, and this was basically one big marketing campaign for JB.
Plus you will have a lot of people buying attempting to resell thinking they can get $400+
And to a lot of people this release was all about hype anyway, not love, appearance or nostalgia.

For the life of me, I can't understand why anyone orders from FNL. Like I know the Concords are grail status and I too went to great lengths to get em. But copping from their website is always a crapshoot with big releases. Over the years I've read faaaaar too many horror stories about Jordan releases and FNL to risk it. Dudes are notorious w/ the canceled orders....may as well waited it out in a line somewhere.

I didn't get a pair after trying online and the camping. Now I'm hoping for a restock but it's always a miss for me. Hate the feeling of giving up.

Maybe if the Columbias were retroed first in 2009 ahead of the Space Jams then yeah you're right.Originally Posted by Zyzz

Because of this Concord release, the Columbias can definitely reach the level of the Concord release for all the reasons Magic1978 just mentioned.

That used to be how it worked in Europe. Not any longer. They didnt get their restock last year and the cool greys were not as hyped.
