    They sold out eventually but restocked again today. I’m pretty sure anyone who wanted a pair, got them. Jordan retros are sitting like crazy. Only sneakers that have resale right now are Dunk Sbs. Not only are most Jordan’s going for retail, but there are plenty going under retail. Good time to be a sneakerhead.

    They are doing different colorways than OGs though, that is why they sit.  Put out an OG colorway and boom, sold out.

    Nah man. OG gets no love from the young generation. Nobody has the disposable income they had 3 years ago. There’s no resale value in 90% of the Jordan’s that release this year. Sneaker market is dead no matter the colorway. Again, it’s a good thing. Fuck resellers, they take all the fun out of it. Nike Sb dunks are the only ones that resale still because of how limited they are. Most don’t even hit the SNKRS app, only available at the skate shops. Like those Aprils i got recently.

    I understand that.  Sneakers weren't worth reselling 5 years ago when the productions ramped up.  That is why I stopped buying everything.

    I've been looking for a skate shop that carried SB's but not sure how Nike even distributes them anymore.

    I never liked the Kobes.  His explanation on why its a low top was phenomenal though.

    I have a pair of grinches because I love green. But these are strictly to trade. Supposedly they’re incredible to play ball in.

    These were the lightest shoes to play in at one time until the Zoom Soldiers I believe or vice versa.

    Kobe explained about the low tops.  Paraphrasing "Low tops are lighter. What about ankle support you ask? You have your ankles taped up so why have the extra weight?"

    I have a pair of "cutting Jade" Lebrons that look like Grinches.  I even wore them in my Grinch outfit for Santacon one year.

    They’re all sick but my favorite is the green pair. I love green and the details and material are unbelievable. Nike killed it with this collaboration

    Wanted these for a while
    but didn’t want to pay $250-300. Luckily the market is incredible for buyers right now and finally was able to purchase for $130 plus fees.

    Have any of you had experience ordering from the online site for Sneaker Politics? They have a pair I am interested in, but the reviews I found for them are all over the place.
    No man I’ve always stuck to stockx if it’s an older pair that’s not in stock on Nike. 
    I picked up these off of StockX. I set my bid price at $65, and watched as the ask price for my size kept dropping. Eventually someone accepted it. Not bad for half of retail.

    They’re highs so yea not exactly ogs, but still a good release, especially considering all the trash 13s they’re releasing next year. They’re releasing 4th quarter 2024 so you won’t find much info yet.
