BREAKING NEWS:
It has been confirmed that the Air Jordan XI (11) in the Medium Grey/White-Cool Grey – commonly referred to as the Cool Grey XI – will be releasing on December 23rd of this year with a $175 price-tag. This release comes almost exactly one year after the release of the Air Jordan XI (11) Space Jam, a shoe that caused nationwide hype and mayhem. Will the Cool Grey XI cause similar delight (or destruction)? The Cool Greys haven’t released in over nine years – March of ’01 being the original release – and even then, the hype surrounding the shoe was quite large, as TLC covered the Cool Grey XI release at a Niketown location as part of the network’s program titled “Buy-ology”. With a barrage of great Air Jordan retros awaiting us, let us know where the Cool Grey XI ranks on your upcoming must-have list.

July 6th, 2010 at 2:08 pm

There are so many jordans coming out around that time that I don’t really care if I get them or not. If I could get the flints

I just wanna say justice for Oscar Grant as we approach the verdict. Many storefronts around town, including the downtown Oakland Foot Locker and Shiek's by Fruitvale BART are boarded up like a hurricane is coming. I'm hoping for justice & peace in my city.

fuck u cory go suck a dick , fuck jordans
July 7th, 2010 at 1:29 am
I have to have these again.!!!! I was a freshman in high school 2001 and they stold these from me. Someone broke into my gym locker. I didn’t want to fuck them up to run the one mile around the park for P.E. So I made sure that I didn’t do the same mistake with my Columbia’s after that. So I’m looking forward for these to drop. Can’t wait I just hope they drop in my size, since I’m a girl that loves her Jordans.
July 7th, 2010 at 1:53 am

I'm not even going to bother with these. I wish Jordan Brand would hurry up and generally release the Bordeaux VIIs sooner. I've been waiting on it since I saw the sample like 9 damn years ago and I wish they would also generally release Raptors that are all black like 2002 raptors with better suede and nubuck of course, the 2002 raptors cost 300 damn dollars now and you probably can't wear them for long and I dislike the one in the pack because its not all black like its supposed to be. I hate how JB is releasing the Bordeaux VIIs in March of 2011 because they want to build anticipation and insane amounts of hype which usually means, no matter what, I'm not going to get my one pair at retail. If I wanted these, I wouldn't get them because you know JB is going to make it another stupid super limited Space Jam type of release. I would hate it if they did that to the Raptors, if they ever re retro them again. I want to be able to walk in the store, see the shoe, ask for my size, buy them and go.
On that note, I hate resellers for what they do. They basically rob someone else or many people if they buy full size runs, of the chance to get just one pair. Then they sell it for the price of getting 3 pairs of other Jordans. For the price of the infrareds I was going to buy, I bought a pair of SBs, Laker VIs and a pair of 97s, three damn shoes.
JB pulled off the biggest scam by making four pairs of identical shoes, with slight changes that are meaningless. I could buy myself a varsity red pack for less then the 500 god damn dollars the so called 2010 infrareds are going for, but I'm not going to. I know better than to buy hyped up shoes that are crappy quality. The Lakers weren't anywhere near the hype of the Motorsport or Infrared 6s and are pretty well made as I've worn them over 20 times outside already and the 3M is still pretty fresh when I was expecting it to be all messed up like the raging bull Vs that I do not own, but have seen a messed up pair.
I don't consider foot locker or other stores resellers because I view retail price as worth it more than the insane markups the resellers have made. They have ruined the sneaker culture, because for me, wearing the shoes and enjoying them while they last is what its about, not keeping them "deadstock" and reselling them years later for 5 times the original retail, and don't even get me started on the crap these resellers say, stuff like they are completely sold out and are impossible to obtain, yeah?, that's because of you!
