Stupid on Nike's behalf b/c they didn't officially release them on their website amd mentioned "Limited"! That made them go crazy for them; want vs need was easily thrown out the door.

9, 10, 11's mostly. After that its whatever you can get. But don't tell me you're going into the re-selling business?

I was hoping that the Jordan V Quai 54's came out in the US but they were only released in Europe since the tourney was in France. Because of that, they were all over ebay going for $400 US. They are nice in all but that is just way too much $.

I had them and they were in the U.S. for a quick grab. My boy got them and got me a pair. I thought they were nice but I know someone who was willing to pay $450 and wanted them more than I did. So I let him have it for $375, I'm not going to be one of those re-seller's who over charge.

I remember calling all of the main and even Nike stores a week before the release and it went from, "yeah, we're getting them in", to "call back in a couple days" to "sorry, we are not receiving any pairs". They are nice in all but I wasn't going to pay more than retail and once I saw how much they were going for on ebay, I was fugg that!!

I missed the grapes due to school, that pissed me off then and now just thinking about it. So I'm still waiting for JB to retro the Grapes again too or the so called Grape and Lanely pack.

I got the cement IV's last month only b/c the last release was '99. They are nice in all but they just don't look and feel the same. Quote:

^ Playoff 12's (i think you meant 4/21/12), the whole Olympic pack by JB and the Pippens, bred 4's, and another pair of bred 11's wouldn't hurt too since that's my favorite colorway.
I've seen the non mars 4's and didn't like'em in person, they looked a little off for some reason but couldn't put my finger on it and the military blue is a pass because of all the shoes that are coming out this summer and probably be the same quality as the cements. Oh and I thought the og space jams felt right to ball in back then. I killed my pair to death, smh, that was dumb. That's why I had to pick up all the 11's so far and wear them on certain occasions for casual use only.
