I want to try my luck on these March 11, even though I hear it's damn near impossible to score on retail drops on highly anticipated shoes like these. Any summary of tips and tricks for a relative newbie? Secondary pre-order is already in the $700's for size 13.
This is one of the cleanest shoes I have ever seen...I even like the off-white trim which sets it apart slightly from the OG white cements. And the 3's are just more versatile with my wardrobe than the 4's or 5's, as much as I love those as well.
Yeah, much like the L&F everyone is going to be trying for those. I would just plan on taking your L & then just set a maximum amount you're willing to pay on the secondary market for them. Watch to see what the prices do and if they're not getting close to what you're willing to pay then I'd go the rep route.
I think the rep makers are going to be pretty close to 1:1 on these because they don't have some sort of crazy design and the elephant print is the same from previous Jordan 3s, They will just need to nail the distressed bottom part and get that elephant print right. The /repsneakers reddit forum will have plenty of comparisons on these when they come out. I think I will likely go the rep route on those after I take my L and once I see some comparisons on reddit.....especially because I have these HOF 3s already which I got for <$300 on GOAT a couple years ago.

I'm absolutely not paying $6-700 for these, when I've essentially already got the same shoe.
