Who Remembers when Eastbay Magazine Sold Air Jordan Retros

[kontraband1911]

Whatever happened to that ?!? Oh yeah, hype beasts and resellers messed it all up

nope just that the internet made that form of shopping obsolete. i mean the resellers and hypebeasts don't help the situation but i'm pretty sure they're not the main reason. i honestly don't have a problem with resellers. if they beat me to a release then i congratulate them cuz they put in more work than i did. what i do hate is when ppl at the front of the line let everyone and they momma cut. that happened to me with the miami vice lebrons. waited in line for 8 hours and struck out cuz a couple ppl in the front let about 15-20ppl cut the line thats that ish i don't like!

edit: on a side note, this is my 420th post..this calls for an after-work celebration

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!)

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

Half of the time, they were sold out when you would call to place an order.

 

[sircharles2ol3]

LOL I remember vividly getting them in the mail & looking at all the kicks I couldn't cop, lol.

I think the question is, who was buying jordans when eastbay sold them.

 

[al3xdruck]

I remember like early middle school, me and my mans would go thru the magazine and pick one thing from each page that we would want to cop.

Oh yeah, I remeber those days!!! No waiting in line or waiting for midnight to order on line. Call them up, give them a style code and they would tell you they were out of them, but that you could place a back order. You could do that a month or more in advance. Did that for the XIs and the IIIs - mulitiple pairs too!!
