Interesting points Method Man. I agree, it is all a gimmick(and in my opinion a very bad one) to build the hype and create sales for the other 23 beingreleased. I think JB screwed this one up big time.Originally Posted by Method Man
Man, today is NOT the day to mess with Steez.
Like Rock, and most people with taste, (i.e. over the age of 14, don't wear jewelry in our mouths, t-shirts that came free with a raffle ticket, or hoodies that look like they're missing their footies.) I prefer the XX3s with SUBTLE detailing, but it looks like I'll be missing out on these.
Somehow, I'll have to accept the harsh truth: I'm just not "special" enough to enjoy the honor of paying $230 for this shoe.
We'll see if the artificial hype carries over to the GRs or if, once again, we're looking at outlet fodder. They've been trying this quickstrike gimmick to accompany the first GR release since the XX. This will sell out, of course, due to the preposterously low production numbers (well, AUTHORIZED production numbers, at any rate), but what effect, if any, this stunt has on moving the GR remains to be seen. It looks like it'll just have the effect of frustrating far more consumers than it pleases - assuming there are indeed thousands of people long enough on cash and short enough on self respect to shell out the ludicrous $230 plus tax for this shoe.

Thats because ALOT of people could sign up for that and have the right, then there would STILL be complaints on not getting them. There's better colors coming anyway...even though they will have that unappealing (IMO) stiching on the side.
Subtle stiching is better.

This is very frustrating and has been one of my least favorite JB schemes/strategies...especially with a great colorway. I'm far too old to shovechildren for 5 hours until the store opens for the chance to buy my size plus clothing from a crooked store owner that thinks he's hood royalty because hisspot has these.
I'll be satisfied picking up a NDS pair of these at retail this time next year.
So true. I've been thinking about how Jordan tries to move their product for a while now. They know when they put the limited notion out there,people are going to like them even more for that reason and for resell value. That type of stuff turns me off. It suck even more when I actually like a shoeand people jump on just because they are limited.Originally Posted by Method Man
