The first pair of Js I ever owned/second favorite pair are getting retroed as part of the Air Jordan 17/6 Countdown Package. Now if they only bring back the Black/Cement IIIs I'll be set.

I have been debating on buying an original pair but would rather pay more for ones that are not falling apart. You can find them on iss or ebay for $1500 but the soles are falling off even though they have not been worn.
I would be willing to pay serious $

i want those carmines, but i looked $310!? I don't even like the air jordan 17.
i want the air jordan ix white/black, but i saw that is also going to be in a package with the air jordan xiv, which is alright, but it creases easily.

i know fakes suck, but i don't feel like spending 310 bucks just to be able to buy a pair of my favorite white/black 9's
these:
i saw on amazon.com that is selling air jordan ix white black for 80 bucks, but i know they're fake. so, would you guys just shell out 80 bucks or 310 bucks for the authentics, which are bundled with air jordan XIV black/red?

I'm not planning on collecting any Jordan's, but I would love to get Jordan 1 (black and grey) from somewhere. I definitely want the retro edition (ie. no the originals). With that said, where do you guys get your shoes from? I plan on wearing these, so I want to make sure I don't snag some fake low quality ones. What do I need to look for, to ensure they are authentic? My cousin has a friend that collects, but buys fakes to wear. LOL

Thanks, I would have more but the ones I want are so hard to find in my size. I usually get lucky with some stores which have a single pair left of the retro jordans in my size, so it works out i guess..

They just make less. Normally when you are waiting the footlocker person comes out and lets you know how many of what size they have.
I no longer wait because my buddy can hook me up with 1 pair.
I got to get the ones above but lately there has been

Also they dont make that many pairs mentioned above, I know for the black 13's they didnt make that many in a size 14.. does anyone know how many were made in total (all sizes)? like 2,000 pairs?

My first pair of Jordans were the Jordan 17's which I got in red, and they gave you that Red Suitcase with the CD and everything. Those were stolen at school, then I got the Jordan 18's in Black/Blue and White/Red, and those were stolen too. Needlesstosay, I was pissed off to the point where I never spend over 150$ for a pair of shoes ever again :P

Just the ones I posted, those are never worn/just tried on. The others I ended up tossing them out or they are in the basement in retirement.

What Would Don Draper Do?
FYI - the space jam XI's are going to be released in december 2009. $175 per pair, i believe.
i will definitely try and get one. hopefully, they won't be too limited. however, my understanding is that the recent retros have horrible quality.
did anyone get the XI/XII collezioni pairs? the patent leather on the XI's looked small compared to the OG's and even the retros that were sold in 2001.
i only have two pairs of jordans now (retro XI in black and red and retro XI low in all white). while i'm not a sneaker fiend like in my college days, i really wanna get a pair of those space jams. that they'll retro the concords and cool greys in 2010 for the 25th anniversary of air jordans.

I'm so ready for this. I always wanted one, but never had a chance to buy one.
I'm ready!

and we'll be seeing 4 colorways of the XII's this year:
1. "nubucks"....black on black with light blue trim
2. white and red
3. black and red
4. white and white
if only they'll re-release the blue and white. those were the only XII's i liked.
