keep your strippers out of my American football
Sat on that "Waiting Your Turn" for 30 minutes, my order finally went through. Been wanting some 11s for ever, but refused to pay a huge markup.

Glad you did too. Seems like such a crapshoot to get these shoes unless you want to spend the night at a store.
Just the 11 lows or 11s in general? I love the 11s, especially the Concords and the jams.
Thank you for this post. I didn't know about that site and camped out. It took forever but I got an order to go through.

I'm pretty heated. I hardly ever strike out on GRs. But today wasn't my day.
My stupid self decided to try instore today versus online on FNL, FTL and Co. Terrible idea. I managed to get a pair of the snake skins but had to go a half size up on the Concords (which is what I really wanted). I stood In the rain for two hours, had to surround myself with reseller scum and pretty much struck out.
I ran home and tried online but I feel like it was pretty much over at that time. And Nike Store is such a crap shoot now a days. It's been messing up ever since they "upgraded" the check out process. I must've hit add to cart a half dozen times. It stuck on me with the image verification.
Now the Concord lows are selling for $250-$300 on the bay.

I am confused, so did you get those shoes today?
Wait...The snakeskins are restocking Monday? https://twitter.com/nikestore/status/462667674053771264
Damn...I might have to try to cop. Would Nike.com be the only place to get them?

A new HoH opened near by. They had both the concord and snake skin lows. Their policy is to only give one ticket per customer in line despite it being two different releases. I was like #12 so my greed got the better of me and I decided to get the snake skins.
One of the clerks tried to hook me up in store but the cashier wasn't having that.
And I'll try to get another Snakeskin and hopefully be able to trade them for Concords.

Guess you got lucky. I was so frantic after the mini camp out and visiting Westshore and International that I ran home to try online instead of University.
They're supposed to open another HoH in Brandon Mall. But I don't think I'll be going all the way out there. If I had to say University>Brandon>International as far as releases will go. And Florida Mall >>> all the Tampa HoH as far as QS/limited releases go.

Nice...I am going to try and show some restraint and get the Infared Concords in June instead of the snakeskin.

Quoting again for more opinions.Help me out, GAF.
These Jordan I's
Or
Which should I get?
EDIT: I should mention that these would be my first pair of Jordan's.

It really comes down to what you like. The top ones sold out in a few stores after the Bred 1s released in December. They were a consolation prize. You can still find them on EB and can apply discounts when available. I picked up a pair for 20% off two months ago to use as beaters since my Breds are for special occasions and are obviously to be protected.
The bottom ones are okay too.
1s are nice, especially the OGs like the Royals, Breds, Chicago, Shadows, Black/Gold, etc. Last year was a great year for 1s (except for the Chicagos).
How ever of you were going for your first Jordan, you could've went for the Concord XI lows or Carmine 6s. Both are great, classic Jordan Colorways.

Have you considered recently released Nike SB J-pack. [bred 1 inspired dunk]
Premier released them last week and they should be available at a lot of places soon. 85 dollars retail.
I'd go with the bottom one. The colorblocking on the top one is off to me, but if you're set on the mids, I'd check into the Nouveau stuff (here and here). These 2 pairs just look like consolation prizes for Bred 1's
Doing some spring cleaning, so I'm letting go of some of my pairs. Just chip in $15 for shipping if you're interested. Always open to negotiation/trades! All sizes are 9.5.
Nike Roshe Flywire QS - $65. I'd rate these an 8/10, little chip in one of the soles. Wore these 6-7x tops.
Jordan V Grape (2013) - $160. 9.5/10, worn once.
Jordan V Fire Red (2013) - $150. 9/10, worn at most 5x.
Nike x Medicom Lunar Air Force 1 - $150. Deadstock.
Nike x Supreme Tennis Classic SB (Purple) - $90. 9/10, worn once, but these crease badly.
Way out of my price range, lol.

Any Jordan with an OG colorway skyrockets in price after release. Sneaker game is all messed up. You looking for 1s only or just Black/Red J's to match your ring attire?

Had twitter phone notifications, clicked on the link almost immediately. Fear 5s and Royal 1s were both sold out. Not sure what I expected.
Same here. Phone was actually in my hand when the text came. 88's wouldn't even go into my cart.

Tried to add to see what I could, but it was either not going into my cart or was already shut down like last time.
No loss really as I already got my red Sauconys on the way.

I felt the same way about the Bred 1s, and then I got them. Hunted forever, and when they finally came I checked every little detail on the shoe to make sure they were legit. I had to step outside my price range for shoes ($250 is usually the most I'll pay) to get them though, so you may have to do the same.

don't buy shoes that are skateable to chill in, if your anything like me you know how it's going down eventually. the itch to skate beats out everything sometimes it's amazing.
didn't even bother with the concord lows, obviously had more people than pairs at the local spots. i'll look into it when hype dies down but not too fussed if it doesn't happen.

I'm sad. I'm away from home on a trip in Seattle and only had my phone with me. 3G connection. gg
Yo, you're in Seattle? Check out Alive and Well if you're in downtown!

The suede is so buttery smooth...
When I camp out for J's and i always go line up around midnight the night before the release. Several factors to consider when camping for Js, The hype of the shoe and if your city has a lot of sneakerheads and resellers. Im guessing you're planning on copping the carmines, I'd line up pretty early fo that shoe.
Thanks! Yeah, probably the Carmines, but definitely the Sport Blues dropping in August and the black infrareds on Black Friday.
I was able to get a pair of Jordan 5 reds at the nike outlet a couple weeks ago. Now if I'm able to get a pair or two of J6s, I'll be set. There's really no other Jordan's I really want.

man the black on black 5Lab3s are clean.
Quite clean though all I'm currently hearing about them is how they crease, which to me is weird since I wear shoes to wear them. So if they crease, it's because I wear them.
Creasing is bad on reflective kicks because the reflective material tends to fade off on creased areas. When the reflective effect is visible, all the spots where the material has worn off are extra visible.

Yes I get that because I have some stuff with 3M on it so I know about the creasing.
Still, the same people on sneaker sites complaining about the creases will probably end up buying a pair regardless. It's like people who have the Raging Bull 5s - which is also covered in 3M - but still own them despite getting creases on it.
To me, I don't care that the material would crease and flake. It's the reason why I want the Jordan SB 1s that are coming out next month - wear them to reveal the colors underneath.
