Air Jordan VII “Year Of The Rabbit” Releases on May 7, 2011

Super limited and super hyped, the Air Jordan “Year Of The Rabbit” VII’s are finally dropping on May 7, 2011 at selected retailers. Very similar to the Hare VII’s, the only thing that seperates these are the gold accents. The gold laces and Jordan jumpman symbolizes 4 cycles of the year of the rabbit. The red and gold are supposed to be “lucky colors” and believed to bring wealth and fortune. The gold accents on these exclusive and rare “hare” look-a-likes also have a special meaning – according to Chinese Zodiac, Michael Jordan‘s birth year of 1963 was also “year of the rabbit”. These exclusive Jordan sneakers also come with a special red and gold box as well. They retail for $160 so don’t get caught out there for $300+ unless you miss out on release date.

 

Jordan 2 “Candy Pack”

Okay, okay… I know this is old news for all the sneakerheads and jb fans out there. The only reason i’m posting this (so late) is because i need material at the moment and i want this blog to flourish into a beautiful, informative one. I decided that i’m going to post everything that interests me or whatever is on my mind for the week.  Expect to see news and info on topics like music, movies, television, current events, sneakers/fashion, video games and life in general (rants and raves). So with that said, let me get back to the sneakers. This is the Jordan 2 “Candy Pack” which is set to release at the end of this month. In my opinion, these are the only sneakers coming out this month worth copping (or considering). I’m not sure if i will be getting these or not. I’m not sure if i will get all three if i DO decide to cop, either. The pictures look super clean and i’m all for sneakers that are all one color as long as it is something different that stands out. The red, green and yellow pairs all look sick in their own way. Even thought they’re called the ‘candy pack’, they do not come in one pack. They will be three seperate purchases totaling over $400 dollars altogether. Yikes! Money is the only reason i wouldn’t go for these. If money wasn’t an object then i would have these for sure. Keep a look out for these in limited quantities at selected Jordan retailers at the end of the month. One thing is certain though, I’m definitely looking forward to the Cool Grey XI’s next month.

 

Welcome to the Sole’d Out Kicks blog!

Welcome to the birth of the Sole’d Out empire! I’ve been buying and collecting Jordan sneakers for nearly 12 years and now it has recently turned into a business! It all started with the release of the Exclusive Jordan XX3 Titanium’s. That was one of the craziest and hyped up Jordan releases ever. I camped for hours for those sneakers.

I eventually parted with those sneakers at the comfortable price of $1530 shipped. The buyer was BEYOND happy. It wasn’t the amount of money which made me want to open a website and business, it was the fact that I would be able to provide people with something they couldn’t get on their own. The feeling of being that “go to” guy. This guy lived in some crazy state somewhere, I don’t remember, but the availability of those Jordan sneakers were so low in his area that he had no chance of getting them. I had over 100+ positive feedback on eBay until they suspended my account because I was making too much money. They started to question the authenticity of my merchandise and it just totally turned me away from them. So now I’m doing my own thing. …but let’s go back even further than that, though. Back in the late 80′s when Jordan came out and finally started dominating in the NBA, he got his Nike deal and it all REALLY started. My parents were the type to give me a $60 limit when it was time to get new sneakers and it scarred me for life. I never had one pair of Jordan sneakers and had to watch the rest of my peers sport the crazy Tinker designs as well as other hot Nike models that were a little above our budget. So when i turned 18 and began to start making my own money I started reliving my missed childhood wishes of sporting the sick Jay’s. I started grabbing everything I could. Flint XV’s, Navy XVI’s, Mocha III’s, Cool Grey IV’s, Snakeskin XI’s, Carolina VI’s or whatever I could get my hands on. I still have those sneakers until this very day…
