The official Sneakerhead Thread*************

Peace,

I'm really surprised about the reaction to the French blues. I didn't think that they were a coveted enough colorway to justify these lines.
 
I just look at it and :smh: and :lol:. Hype is a hell of a thing.

I remember when these ugly shits first came out in 1997 and how they sat on shelves and eventually made the mark down section in eastbay.

Now they sellout in minutes and hit the secondary market for thousands.

I don't remember playoffs ever sitting

yup, when 12s first dropped everybody was like :puke::puke: especially compared 2 the 11s
 
Yeah, not too many people were feeling them at the time.

I copped the red and whites cuz my ppl was able 2 get me a pair that fell off the truck 4 mad cheap. they were my first pair of Js and a nigga was hype.

was like damn deez shits fugly, but they Js and of course chks was lovin em
 
I can safely say I'm not stressin until end of year when the true blues and the black cements drop.....those french blues were not worth the hassle
 
I was in & out the footlocker here in Raleigh. There was even a few extra tickets being given out as well. I just checked eBay & so far the prices are in the $270 range. Not big enough of a profit to justify selling on eBay though. Them eBay charges are a bitch. I'll see if I can get someone to buy my raffle ticket or something lol.

Yeah, I won two raffles didn't bother calling back with the second, because $20 or $30 isn't worth the hassle.


I clicked the app as soon as the clock hit 12 and they were sold out. Fuck Jordans.

French Blues sold out? I checked the app around 12:30 and I saw sizes. They typically don't have sizes at first and you have to refresh. Hell when I first tried to enter the drawing for the Wings they didn't have sizes.

XII's are a lot more popular than I thought. I saw a line from Thursday and they had a little line. They had FCFS at one mall and I'm sure dudes were out in the rain. For the line I saw a pic of for the masters was ridiculous how far it was curved.

They did, I got the OG's were my second pair of Jordan's and I got them from an outlet for I'm sure less than $80. Back when I was young I wasn't getting any sneakers for over $100.

Naw, I wouldn't say that at all. I remember my boy had the white and red.
 
Hell as long as it's a Jordan retro, it doesn't matter which series it is or how popular it was when it first came out. The fact that them ugly ass 20s were selling out says it all. I won't be surprised if the 17s that drop next week sell out too.

I've always thought they were ugly. But now they look right with the ankle tight skinny sweatpants so all the kids are jumping on them
 
These are one of my better made recent Jordan's. I'll consider the black and reds now if they're as well made.

I'm sort of shocked that these were harder to get than the cements with the nike air people wanted.

I finally got my black Supreme V's I wanted for a decent price. Really happy with those also.

You fuckin serious?

Yeah, another black colorway is dropping end of December/New Years though

Good point. Fashion and hype.

Yea, they always had a superior build quality imo. Heavier feel too. Just ugly as fuck to me. Black on black aint too bad tho.
 
I hope you guys don't believe they'll get that much for those. That's a bunch of people just bidding to bid. Probably because his original asking price was ridiculous.

Even still the kicks are definitely going for alot more than I'd ever be willing to pay. I saw multiple $2K auctions going.

I've seen that happen before. Shit is hilarious sometimes.
 
It's a double edged sword. Sometimes guys will post high prices thinking people will message them with offers instead of bidding so they can get around some of eBay's fees.

If you arent at the very least 36 your opinion on this matter means nothing to me.

Your feedback takes a ding. You may be suspended from bidding for a few days.
I know I'd be pissed if I saw my auction inflated like that only for it to end on some bullshit & then have to settle for a much lower selling price after the other sellers set the market price.
 
This shit is all the way up to $84K now. Doesn't eBay penalize the winning bidder if they try to back out?

Who cares? Back in the day I had a million ebay names and would bid on shit I liked just for the hell of it, I was like 13 with no job and no way to pay for any of the shit. One of my ebay names dead ass was "ImNotPayingForThis" or some shit like that :lol: I remember getting a bid cancelled and dude sending me an email that he didn't feel comfortable with me possibly winning his auction given my name... that nigga was right
