I swear I saw retros in there like 3-4 years ago? Am I wrong? When did they stop?

I remember seeing Black/Red 12s on Eastbay back in the day on a 50% discount.

Back then it was easy to cop them J's I couldn't wait for that eastbay magazine to be in my mailbox now it's worthless

Man, back in the day (beginning i think in 1990) we would always have eastbay catalog's stacked up at the house... I mean, I would get one, my mom would get one, my sister had her name on one, my brother etc etc... My jr high/HS years were all about thumbing thru eastbay in class and study hall. You could always get what you wanted out of that catalog back then. Now they can't put it in the catalog bc it's sold out long before the mail comes.
For those of you who worked in shoe stores like i did (in the 90s), remember getting the Nike catalogs (seasonal) and always seeing the new-new before anyone (pre-internet days)? Cats would come into the store and beg to see that book. I wish I woulda kept those books.

What is the point of this post? To not-so-subtly imply how "OG" you are?

Ok, I'll play - who remembers your friend's mom walking in on you with your hand down her daughter's pants after she had just given you and your friend a ride to buy the new Jordan VIIIs with the money you got from your first jobs?

Oh man, those were the days.

(They were though!)

The good old days

I used to love getting their catalog in the mail...

 

[vanexellent]

I remember being able to call Eastbay and preordering a Jordan shoe before the release date.

Man I used to see all kinds of retros in eastbay mag, but would never cop because "Those Js came out months ago 

"

 Everyone was more concerned with what the XIV, XV, XVI, etc were gonna look like....screw them old J's

 

[chris316]

I still got some of them. I think they stopped in '06 or '07 if i'm not mistaken.

 

[gonefishin]

Whenever I brought the new magazine back in high school, people would always wanted to take a look at it... Lol
