When I thought of how many of my fellow sneaker enthusiasts were hitting stores and standing in lines today, all in an effort to secure their SJ’s, I could only hear two songs. So it was either the too easy choice (‘Kast’s “So Fresh…”) or this Mario joint from 2005′s Turning Point. And hey, how often do you see a Mario track on TSS? That’s what I thought. And sure he’s technically singing about AF1′s, but the sentiments are still the same.
Because there’s nothing like that fresh out the box smell. Muwaaah! RMF today, snitches!

I like my kicks like I like my Krispy Kremes.
Fresh Out The Box.
now pardon me while i have a menage a trois with my SJs & AM1s mmmmmm
mmm Space Jams.. I been wearin mine alot lol. They fit in with the college kid uniform
Yeah I have my SJ’s chilling with all the snow on the ground. I love kicks but I am not camping out in the cold for no sneaker.
Just got mine in what will be known as The Jordan Brand Miracle. Tried to get them online last night, but got the email from Footaction saying they couldn’t fulfill my order. I just chopped it up as it wasn’t meant to be. Then my dude who worked @ footlocker hit me up an hour ago asking did I want ‘em. So I had to hightail it over the land of the forgotten mall to scoop em. & when I say this mall fell off, it fell off. This used to be a premier spot & I felt like I was going to a seedy hotel w/ a hooker.
Suffice to say, it was worth it though. Now I need to get get Nike to turn it into a claymation 30 minute episode so it can go on after frosty the snowman.
$175 is just fuckin robbery for some retros
$175 beats the rape process that was the DMP prices.

=======================================
Preach it. In 2000, I think I paid $125 for the Space Jams. That’s how much they were right?
called around all shoe stores around dc and maryland.couldnt find them.so i just got the white/red 12s that came out last sat. and saved up money for christmas shopping, about $175 worth lol

all bout your priorites, lol. Hell, call it inflation.
how much did you pay for gas in 2000?

LOL, this muthafucka…
if i didnt have a son, i would’ve definitely copped these, priorities have definitely changed.
Yeah they went for 125 when they first came out. Nike is pulling some Puffy moves treating the sneaker heads like Craig mack. $175 is insane, thank god I kept the ones I had in good condition. Cause I wasn’t waiting on no damn line and I wasnt paying 175.

lol, got’em.
Real sneaker heads don’t wait in lines, they get a ill connect and get their kicks shipped to ‘em. That, or they get preferential treatment at the dope sneaker shops. $175??? Shit, the most that I’ve ever paid for sneaks was when I bought the Jordan XXI’s: $260.00!!! NEVER again my ninjaz!!!
SMH
Yeah, I remember getting the red/blk 11′s for around $125 back in 2000-something
Gas? We talking about gas?
Priorities tho, u right. Don’t get me wrong i have 3 pairs of 11′s and I love em but $175 is ridiculous man.

I dont know how many times I’ve seen your avatar Dirk but that girls ass, god damn, cooler that shit Gotty
It’s snowing so I can’t wear mine but i camped out for like an hour to get mine. The line was inside the mall too which was real tight. There were about 15 of us out there so it was no big thing. SJ’s, check

This is a good point. And a valid one. That said, are we getting the same product from these SJ retros as the previous joints? HELLS NO. If I was getting the quality of the previous retro or the OG joints, I’d pay $175 x 3 without hesitation. But I’ll be damned if I’m dropping almost $200 after tax and shipping for the paper thin “patent leather”, fake carbon fiber and pig skin combo.
As a grown ass man, I just can’t condone that. That shit is a slap in the face, but sadly JB will continue to skimp on the materials and dig bigger holes in aggins pockets because well, aggins will be aggins and they’ll scoop the latest XI retro just because.
