Supreme x Air Jordan Retro V (White, Black, and Desert Camo)

From Renton
Checked out at 8:05
Confirmed at 8:09
Shipping confirm 10/17 6AM
Black size 13

Supreme always takes 5-7 days to ship out here. Sucks. They better not forgot to ship my reflective beanie

Nice. Yeah i wouldnt be surprised if they show up late next week.
 
Got offered MC 2.0 Racers & shattered backboards for the Whites.

It seems like a good trade, but I wonder if I'll end up losing in the long run.
 
Tracking finally moved. I'll have my pair on Friday at the end of the day
Same but mine won't get here until 10/26.  Even UPS is trolling Seattle.

Personal reasons, I'd get much more wear with the flyknits and SBB.
I can respect that.  I'm on the fence, those are pairs I want, but this is my first Supreme pickup ever.

I feel like at any given moment Nike will throw up another restock and the value will drop even more.

That's a pretty solid deal for the current market. Not sure about for the future though, so it's totally up to you if you want to gamble in holding onto your supremes.
 
Finally got my tracking updated only to realize that my dumbass had them sent to my apartment and not my office. Just called UPS and the package is restricted from any changes, can't even have them held somewhere. They said I have to call Supreme, which is never a good thing.
 
So for those who got the black pairs in, is the 'SUP' 3m or just white?


I myself am waiting on the camos in nc. Got shipping confirmation and UPS says a label has been created, that's about it. Scheduled delivery date says Wednesday

Not really. It depends how long you've owned the shoes and more importantly if you wear them occasionally. My oldest shoe is probably 2005/2006 and they hold up fine for wear, with only minor paint chipping or signs of age. If it's 8+ years and still deadstock, you probably shouldn't wear it.

Great post , I agree. I have a question though. I was thinking about grabbing two pairs if possible (second pair after I help @AirSakuragi
 get his first) but then I was thinking. I take really good care of my shoes, would buying a second pair of 4's (with the air bubble) be a bad move because they will pretty much crumble by the time i'm ready to pull the other pair out? I bought a second pair of oreo 4's this year and I was having the same thought. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.


Depends on how long you mean when you say by the time you're ready to pull them out. Some people go through their pairs pretty quickly so you could mean anywhere from 2-3 years to 12-13 years. Other points to consider are the lack of knowledge about the longevity of IVs produced from '04 until now (2004 pairs might start crumbling in 2017, who knows) and the lack of knowledge of JB possibly using different materials in the midsole. As far as crumbling, I've seen only the 4s that were released in 1999 crumble. Idk if that issue has made it's way to 04-06 releases because I don't have any. They probably have tho considering folks DMP VIs are falling apart (recently happened to fat joe who claimed he kept them DS). Hopefully JBs been using new materials in the midsoles after the 1999s to combat the crumbling but until we find out for sure you should still go ahead and double if you really like a particular release. This years Oreos were pretty solid. I liked the materials used on the upper and I noticed that after 20+ wears since initial release up till now, there isn't a single crack on my Oreo IVs midsoles. My 2012 bred IVs tho.. don't get me started :{

If you do double and want to keep your 'on ice pair' in existence longer, fret not for there are now methods and ways of going about to prolong the life of your 'on ice' shoes before the dreaded crumbling. Even on shoes like 4s with air in the heel, we now know that if you lightly wear your stored kicks once in a while, like every few months or so, your shoes won't crumble as fast. I'm guessing the added pressure from your body weight brings life to the polyurethane midsole that, if left stored away without that weight from your body applied to it every now and again, would dry out and crumble. There are members here that can still wear 1999 pairs and other older releases without worrying about crumbling because they've always worn them since they released, some sparingly and others religiously. But in the same breath there are many other members who have kept their shoes stored and in true deadstock condition that had their pairs separate, crumble, and fall apart on very first wear. This method ultimately won't stop them from crumbling completely but it will definitely buy you some time. Overall what can be said is that the best way to preserve your jordan sneakers, your pieces of sports and pop culture history that you want to keep mint condition for as long as possible to continue enjoying them in their pristine, nostalgic condition, is to simply wear them; a practice many collectors don't want to do. Ironic.

Sorry for the paragraphs

Upon looking at online auctions, looks like there are a lot more white and black pairs up than the camo.  Part of me thinks maybe the quantities are all equal except Supreme only had half the camo stock to sell, while Nike Lab will sell the rest of it.
Maybe more people are keeping the camos than the white or black pairs?
 
It sketches me out that Supreme does not verify the destination address of the orders. Anyone know how to check this? 
I

I had the same problem. I was concerned that I had mistyped my address. Which I did, thankfully I fixed it just on time. Should get my shoes by tomorrow

If you got the tracking number just call and verify with ups
