Family first 100%. I just remember reading that post and thinking to myself, "This man does not know my struggle."

You didn't get a pair? And you're right though, family first. It's been so many releases I had to pass on, whether it be time constraint or just didn't have the extra money.
 
Day before release I called hoh valley fair and I was told they called errbody for the raffle. But just my luck a raffle winner wrote down a wrong phone number which freed up a pair and just so happens its in my size. Since I called at the opportune time they decided to give it to me.
 
Damn fam got my checking my **** too. And make sure everything stitched right
 
Seeing a lot of cancelled bot orders on footsites tonight on Twitter. Might see a restock after all

Can you post some examples? I'd love to see those guys claiming they got 5+ footsite bot orders cancelled but I'm sure they still got a lot to go through. To be honest, the Footsites (FTL, Champs, Footaction and Eastbay) should go the SNKRS raffle route to weed out bots even more. They should also ban multiple entries (same name or address) if they do that.

Can't wait for the Footsite reservations to kick in. Should really hurt backdooring.

Still smh at people speculating this was gonna be an easy GR to obtain. Either you got 5 pairs, or you got 0 (me).

Damn out of all people I thought you'd have at least 3 pairs on deck. Sucks you didn't get to lewiup, lewi. Lol
 
Saw all the MJ vs Kanye debate posts. Clearly Michael Jordan is the greatest rapper of all time. Stop playing yourselves.

Hope y'all know sarcasm.

But on a serious note you really can't compare the Michael Jackson and Kanye. One is a singer and the other is a rapper. It's like comparing Michael Jordan to Babe Ruth.

People will still strike out cause more than likely they will announce a relaunch of probably around 100 pairs [emoji]128514[/emoji]

Yeah, I'm not expecting any different. Still, think the footsites should go the raffle route (single entry or disqualified).

From what your showing looks legit. Need more pictures of tongue and insole.
 
Makes sense a lot of ATC services went quiet during the release.

I wanted to reread on the history of this Air Jordan 1 sneaker and type my thoughts.

What a marketing plan by Nike. These black/red Nike air ships were supposedly the real "banned" shoe in 1984. The 2011 technically shouldn't have been made with the whole banned moniker

If the air ships were the shoe that was banned, then Nike decided to make a better looking version of this called the Air Jordan 1 in 1985, not 1984. Some shoe worn by jordan in 84 was banned, but the jordan 1 came out 85

The air ships look basic compared to the "higher end" jordan 1 model. Like a corolla vs a lexus lfa. Therefore the air ships probably wouldnt have had that appeal and success the jordan 1 had (eventually, probably sat on shelves at 1st)

Nike is surely brillant with their advertising campaigns. Had I not known about the air ships, I would have assumed the Jordan 1 was really banned. Excellent sneaker though.
