Okay, folks, let’s talk about my little adventure with the Air Jordan 5 “Oreo”.
My Oreo Hunt
So, I’ve been wanting to get a pair of Air Jordan 5 “Oreo” for a while. I have find some videos or articles said this shoes are awesome. I decided I’d finally try to snag a pair.
First thing I did was hit up the usual spots, you know, check those release calendars. Nothing. Okay, no big deal, resale market it is!
Digging Around
I started browsing around,*, prices were all over the place! Some were crazy high, others seemed a little too good to be true, you know?
I spent a good few hours just scrolling, comparing, and reading descriptions. I looked at a bunch of photos, I was looking for any red flags, scuffs, weird stitching, anything that screamed “fake”.
Making a Move
Finally, I found a pair that looked pretty * price was decent, not the cheapest, but definitely not the most expensive. I checked the seller’s rating.I messaged the seller a few questions, just to get a feel for things. Did they sound legit? Did they know their stuff?
The seller got back to me pretty quickly. I asked a few questions about them. I checked their profile, good. We chatted a bit, and they seemed cool, they answered all my questions, and even sent me some extra photos.
The Waiting Game
I Pulled the trigger, paid for ’em, and then…the wait. Ugh, the worst part, right? I was like a little kid, I checked my email to see, and refresed every five minutes.
Unboxing and Checking
Finally, the package arrived! I ripped that thing open, and there they were. My first impression? they are awesome. But I wasn’t celebrating yet.
I spent a good 20 minutes going over every inch of those shoes. I compared them to pictures online,checked the stitching, the Jumpman logo, the soles, the box, the size tag…everything.
Success!
And…they were legit! I was so relieved. I finally had my Air Jordan 5 Oreos, and I didn’t get scammed. It was a bit of a process, but totally worth it in the end. I put them on right away,and feel good.
