This image of an Atlanta Footlocker went viral yesterday on Twitter. We hope all of our readers were unharmed during the Space Jam mayhem.
Easily the biggest sneaker release of 2009, the Air Jordan 11 Space Jams has caused more ruckus and commotion than the Air Yeezy or any other pair for that matter. Sadly people left sneaker spots empty handed, stores trashed, and people very upset. Finding a pair for retail now at any big chain is near impossible, but since Christmas is a couple days away, you may have some early Christmas cash to spend, and we will assist you in finding your pair. Below is some of the eBay auctions of authentic Air Jordan 11 Retro Space Jams, sadly not at the $175 retail price, but you might find a deal. Please let us know below if you received your pair and how the outcome was.
brokeproof 2000's are way better on the real. its not the point if you wear them or not thats per the individual, the simple fact is that quality is better. plain and simple, compare the two shoes you will see the difference. the 2009's are nothing like the original retro. blue jumpman on the sole, jumpman jordan not jam, the way the jumpman is facing on the heel. All the shoes cost nothing to make, but if im gonna drop that kinda money on a shoe that was originally 125, then 10 years later get the retro for 175 I would want the quality to be the same the shoe to look the same. the whole nine yards. Your not going to get that from jb anymore. the 2009s are a great shoe, but in retro spec not a true space jam! I hate to see what the 2019 space jams look like! or better yet the fusion af1 space jam, oh yea I said it. just wait for it. vomit. Merry Christmas.
yeah got mine at a local sneaker store for 270 but my bro got his at the mall for the 175 sold out of my sizes there
Got mine. Camped out at 3:30. Store opened at 8. And I was 6th in line. Space jams are great. And please wrap them plz bcuz they turn yellow fast.
alright me and my sis reserved our shoes early in beaumont texas like some smart people would do. so we aint have to wait like some dumbassss to get ours early in the morning we walked in the mall around 1 oclock and got our shoes and might i say they is throwed as hell!!!!! soryy if u missed out and when 2010 comes im gettin all the retro releases hahahahahah
Well I got four pairs in size 13 with no problems. I could have got 8 pairs or more but decided on four. I had two pairs on lock since January of this year at my stop in the Asheville mall (Arsenal). I actually have one pair for sale right now on ebay, My ebay id is (ncbargainseller). Check out my auction on ebay. Remeber ebay id is ncbargainseller.
TEAM DIME YOUR FRIEND IN THE SO CALLED NBA IS PROBABLY A BUM WHO SITS ON THE BENCH AND IS A NIG
Wanna hear what happened to me ? I was ready and all to stay 3 whole days to make sure I was fo sho fonna cop them and then I called the store to check and they said sold out ……….wtf lol I just called my homeboy about going to pembroke mall and then he said oh theirr packed with more the 500 people so I just got on the web found a deal for 100 authentic 2009 space jams for 200 on the dot the end kids
Man…………….so glad i wear kid size (7) me in my dad went to the mall about 2 hours after it opened which was dumb for him because he wore a size 10.5 so they were sold out but he still had to buy me mines i really wanted two pair for one to hoop in but didnt want to be greedy!!!!!!
I GOT 4 PAIR BUT I HAD 2 PAIR LIKE 3 MONTHS AGO FROM OSNEAKER.COM BECAUSE I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN. I ALSO GOT ALL THREE OF MY KIDS A PAIR, MY WIFE, AND MY NIECE AND NEPHEW A PAIR. I SPENT 977 FOR THOSE. ITS SAD TO SEE PEOPLE GETTING RAPED ON EBAY FOR THESE. I SAW A SIZE 12 SELL FOR OVER 600 DOLLARS ON EBAY LAST NIGHT; THAT IS CRAZY
thank god for finishline.com lol
ordered my pair at 4am the same day thank god they had my size
went to 2 stores wit my boy….4 pairs in modells and no mens sizes in footlocker smh
homie made a good point about people complaining about quality and not even wearing the shoe. Besides, if you have a DS pair of 2000 Retros, theyre prolly gonna fall apart if you ever decide to wear them. Shoes aren't made to be stashed away in closets, they're made to be worn. If you don't like a product then don't buy it, but that doesn't mean you gotta hate on other people that want it. ANYway, good luck to everyone still tryna cop their pair, and congratulations to everyone who did. out.
To "G" a nuff said homie…
for all yaw who didn't cop yet hit up nike.com as of 20minutes ago they were still on there just copped mine
Copped them, First went in the store and just inquired about them and Dude was like mad rude and was like since i work here i going to get you size and theres nothing you can do about IT,THAT IS ONE OF THE PERKS OF WORKING IN A SHOE STORE….UHMMM FIRST I WAS ABOUT TO F****** LOOSE IT WHEN HE SAID THAT BUT I WAS PROFESSIONAL AND TOOK THAT KIDS NAME AND HOLLA'D AT CORP. AND TOLD THEM HOW HE DID ME, NOW NOT ONLY DID I GET THE SPACE JAMS BUT THE REGIONAL MGR CAME AND HAD DELIVERED THEM S*** TO ME, 9AM, NO LINE NUTHANG… AS FOR THAT DUDE THAT TRY'D ACT BUCK, MOFO DIDNT HAVE ONE WORD TO SAY TO US WHEN WE WALK IN THA STORE, IF HE WOULD HAVE GOT THEM I WOULD HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THAT DUDE IN LOT… ALL N ALL IT WORKED OUT….. GET ON YOUR CORPORATE THUG PIMPS….
this was the 1st camp out i had to ever do becuz i usually juss drop $300+ for em online but i had to hav em the same day..campd out for bout an hour or so inside the mall and only had my size so i went to another spot cuz my brother had to work and campd out there for bout 1.5 hours and got him a pair n his boy a pair…never will i camp out n the cold for some shoes cuz ima juss cop em online lik i always do…ya dig…but i do agree wit JB bout makin the amount he did, if everyone has dem then dey really wouldnt b exclusiv n the price tag on em would drop..supply and demand ppl, Economics 101…to much supply and not enough demand price drops, n vice versa
i copped a pair yesterday for like $350 at TycoonKicks.com flagship store in maui
LOFL!
u cats have got to be the stupidest people on the face of the earth I swear…
all you do is whine about fkn jordans…
no wonder society is fkd up like it is…
u dont stand for anything but the internet, homosexuality and running your mouth behind a computer screen, thats all your good for…
hope your stupidity was worth all this…
LOL, I really don't care for footlocker, finishline, or any shoe retail employees getting theirs. Its a perk for working crappy retail. I make way more sitting at a desk. I can just get my pair at a premium. I rather not camp, deal with bullshit of dumbass people. Seriously though worry about something more important than if you got or didnt get your space jams. its a joke look at atlanta pic up top. I could of bet on that happening anywhere a ghetto and a shoe store exist.
I waited for less than a hour in Huntington, long island and was like 5 people ahead of me at like 6am
got mine on a hot orlando day at 3pm.
no line no fighting no hassles
Sad that I got these no problem but missed out on the Kobe V
i got my pair of space jams worth the wait i wish i coulda got 2 but no money for that happy i got my pair n no mayhem like that haoppened where i went
stood in front of champs and those lames only sold to friends and fam on sum list so they sold out b4 anyone actually went on the damn store then stood in front of HOH down the block in NYC…was there for like 2hrs but I got a pair first time doin that and maybe the last
i hate these people on here that say they got theres so easy saying they reserved it or didnt have to wait in line. ***** its because look at where you live i live in Hartford CT and these kicks sold out so quick everywhere the whole CT NY NJ FL. My boy from Miami called me at like 9am i said nigga they been sold out over here. I know so many people at Footlocker Champs Expressions etc and they couldnt hold **** even if they were the managers . The big bosses ( district managers) made sure that no employee bought or held any of these sneakers for no one. Lucky i got 3 pairs at 2 different locations but had to drive far o well but thats my Jordan experience. And yes everyone is right the old 2000 ones are better quality and comfort. All of the patent leathers now that are made feel so cheap and small. Happy Holidays
I brought mine in September, thanks Marquee's Sole. To all the cats that didn't get them my heart bleeds for y'all, and also I worked at footaction for six years we would get full size run sometimes two pair inthe same size, so to the people that got the "they didn't come in that size" that's bullshit str8 up. All the employees with that size brought them up simple and plain. Grimmie **** goes down on hot Jordan release any cat selling them know what I'm talking about.
i got mine but it was a size bigger but suprisingly it does not fit to bad i am a 12 and got a 13 but it wasnt bad but the lines was horrible even in the middle of nowhere malls
i got mines the day after!!!! ahhh hahahahaha
with a discounted price thanks to my empolyment at footlocker!!!
I just got mine today the 27th! I have been calling eastbay to see if they just happen to have my size 11 and when the lady said yes we have one in stock, I was was in shock and said i'll take it!
This is the only pair I bought. Not like some of U guys who have 3 or 4 pairs. I'm happy with just 1. But I have been looking at those Ebay prices and i'm not sure yet whether to keep it or sell it.
If U are like me and were calling Eastbay everyday to see if they have any available, then don't quit. Keep calling today and tomorrow because there were some people who ordered these shoes on Wed but their credit cards dennied the transaction. So they will be available for purchase.
asian chinks are supposed to be making my jordans not rocking them…I mean wong dong chong dong dong yong.
p.s. negros care more about their jordans than their own kids, families, or responsibilities. You don't believe me? Look at the pic of the ATL footlocker above and see what happens when apes go wild. Gorillas in the mist son, word up.
If only black people were as passionate about getting an education as they are about some damn shoes the world would be a better place indeed.
aint even worth it man get a life
Got mine two weeks early online is da way to be… Pickyourshoes.com yeeee buddy
something like this happened in BK when the Cool Grey joints came out. That release was crazy. I understand supply and demand, but really JB? As a company you don't hold anything sacred. You have retroed all the heat you possibly could and for exorbantant prices to boot. You release the nubuck 12's to GR, you release the Mars 4's, within a year of the laser 4's, like what is the point of making things exclusive to turn around and cut the throats of those who went through hell to get them, by releasing the same damn shoe 6 years later. I still have my OG space jams, i used to work for nike. I paid $67.50 for them. other than the beautiful amber bottoms (lol) the shoe is perfect. Where is the extra $50 justified. I love the shoe, but know i paid the aforementioned price, i can't bring myself to pay $100 more for the shoe and then pay $50 over the OG retail price. Are you trying to get some of that Ebay money JB? Let's bump it up $50, because we know, at least 15% will end up on Ebay for a ridiculous price. Here's a suggestion, make an obscene amount of these sought after retroes, make the new releases limited. this will make a new demand 10 yrs down the road. the consumers retro thirst will be quenched, you will eventually have 95-100% sell through on these sneakers. I worked at an outlet in 1998 and was able to obtain "B"(NOT A DAMN THING WRONG WITH THEM)grade white/red and black/white(playoff) 12's for less than $80 each. Those flew off the shelf. Outlets is where Nike makes all of its money as far as their own stores are concerned. Since nothing is sacred anymore with Nike and JB, release the goods to appease the masses and create a new demand. Take a note from Nike SB, i don't foresee the De La Soul or the Pigeon dunks being retroed anytime soon. All my heat is now being used for their original purpose, bball. I'll get the new joints and sit on those until the demand comes around again.
i got mines for a size 15 online cuz my size 13s sold out and fo those who think iam crazy thereslike an inch only missing rom my toes
my order went thru but got reversed so i copped a pair on ebay for 290 size 10
Stopped by the local retail spot on Sat. the 19th of December and copped the white and red XII's like I had planned to. With a little slick talk; that was enough to get my pair of XI's reserved. Picked em up first thing on the 23rd with no problems.
called up my boy from pulse to set a size 7.5 a side for me so i can pick it up the next day. best release of 09, now i can put my 2000 space jams in air bags ^___^
I'm gonna get fake ones bc they are cheaper.available. and looks exactly the same
Yep. I got em. Plan A was gonna be campin out at the Castleton Mall in Indy early in the morn but I stumbled across the countdown to the midnight release on FL's website. I figured if I couldnt make it happen on the web then I would have to bundle up for the cold night. But it actually worked. I waited and waited, watchin the ticker till it hit midnight and got to clickin right away. It took 20 mins to finally get the order processed due to their system f'in up but I was persistent enough to make it happen. The early bird got the worm in this case.
I camped out for mine. hella cold *** night. worth it though. got my size, 1 or only 3 9.5 in the store.
I walked in 40 min after the mall opened…right into kids footlocker and copped the last pair of size 6…great day
The way I look at it, from the start I had a feeling the 09 jams would be bullshit material. I could tell by the way they were doin the bacl/red 6s with that suede ****. I have my 00 jams, even though they yellow at the bottom, the material is still good and they still look good. maybe its because it didnt wear that much until this year to turn heads (haha
)Anyways, condolences to those who couldnt get a pair but honestly, you didnt miss out.
I swear black folks will camp out and wreck a store for a pair of damn shoes. But when it comes to school,voting, and cleaning up our communities most of us ain't no where to be found. Camping outside for Jordan's how about we camp outside and protest for better neighborhoods, education for our children, instead of trying to be the 1st one to have the new j's to show off.
