Air Jordan 6 “Oreo” & Nike Air Foamposite One “Cough Drop”<\/h2>\n

Whenever I’m out of town, I always make it a point to stop at any Nike Factory stores that are in the vicinity. In January of 2011, we took a trip to the Baseball Hall Of Fame by way of Niagara Falls, and\u00a0to my surprise, I found a ton of “Oreo” VIs on sale for $100.<\/p>\n

Then, when I was on vacation in Orlando in July of that same year, I stumbled across a huge amount of “Cough Drop” Foams with the same price tag.<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 3 Black\/Cement<\/h2>\n

Twitter<\/strong>: @badguymcfly<\/a>\/Instagram<\/strong>: thatguymcfly<\/a><\/p>\n

I was going through ST Joe on my way home for the holidays a few years back, and I thought to stop at the mall to check for a penguin stuffed animal for one of my nieces. While walking through the mall, I randomly stopped in Foot Locker just to see what they had. I was hoping for the all-black Tim Duncans, as this was a week after Black Friday, but I had very little hope. During my search, a worker told me they still had one pair of the Jordan 3s. My first question was how, and secondly, what size? The last pair was a 13, and it was only still there because the employee that was saving it for himself had gotten into a car accident a few days before, so he wasn’t able to pick them up. That really sucks for him, but hey, I got the kicks, and they are still one of my favorites to this day.<\/p>\n

Nike Air Flight Huarache<\/h2>\n

Twitter<\/strong>: @AngDOOM <\/a><\/p>\n

In late ’92, I convinced my parents to stop at a Nike Outlet store on our way to Pennsylvania\u00a0from visiting our family in New Jersey. I picked up the Nike Huaraches that the Fab Five wore for about $60. I remember beginning 8th grade in those.<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 10 “Shadow”<\/h2>\n

Instagram<\/strong>: rarenycstreetwear<\/a><\/p>\n

Before the hype on sneakers reached the high point it’s at now, many outlets would have heat that would sit there for weeks. I used to get really lucky by cold calling stores to see what they had in stock and placing phone orders for those items. I was able to order the DMP XIs for $99, the “Fire Red” 3s from 2007 for 79$ and plenty of samples that never made it to production. The biggest steal for me was obtained through information posted to the “Outlet” thread on Nike Talk. While most retro Jordans that hit outlets at that time were retailing from $80-$100, the B-Grade “Shadow” Air Jordan 10 via the Countdown Packs released at outlets for $49.99, and I was lucky enough to order two pairs over the phone. I still have no clue why they were marked down so low because, other than a minor scuff on one pair, they were pretty flawless. My honorable mention is the “Sunset” Air Jordan WMNS 5 Sunset that was marked down to $25.<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 6 “Oreo”<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

My best outlet find is actually my greatest outlet regret. As a size 14-15, I’m rarely able to find anything in my size no matter what is on the shelves. Back in 2011, I was walking down the back shelf of an outlet with low expectations. All of a sudden, I see a size 15 shoe in a Jordan box that caught my eye. It was the “Oreo” 6s, and it was marked down to $60! They were perfect, but what wasn’t perfect was my financial situation. A broke college student without a job, it was either the Oreos or real food. I foolishly chose the “responsible” decision, and put the shoes back on the wall. Regret continues to this day, but jobs are important.<\/p>\n

Nike Air Max JR “Neon”<\/h2>\n

Twitter: @Newey46<\/a><\/p>\n

My best outlet find was on a recent trip to the United States. Being from Australia, we don’t have outlets on the scale and quality of what you guys can find in the States, so on holidays spent in the US, a trip (or several) to the outlet mall has always been a fixture. A prior road trip on the US East Coast secured for me “Cough Drop” Foams and Diamond Turf 96s, but a memorable trip to the Citadel Outlets in Los Angeles led me to discover a pair of Griffey Max JRs in a size 12. It was the last pair left in the store! A 3-hour bus ride from West LA was worth it. The $120 price tag was a little steep, but the purchase was made all the more sweet when the checkout person brought the total to $60, as there was 50% off this pair. These shoes never released in Australia, and I have a sweet feeling every time I put them on.<\/p>\n

Nike Air Max 95<\/h2>\n

Twitter<\/strong>: urf8ce<\/a><\/p>\n

I was looking for good buys long before I ever was a sneakerhead, which lead me to the Nike Outlet in Milpitas, California about six years ago. I checked out a rack marked “19.99” and thought these Air Max 95s had a good color combination. These became my beaters for years, but now I have a better appreciation for Air Maxes. I regret not buying at least two more pairs, especially for $19.99!<\/p>\n

Nike Air Trainer SC II White\/Indigo Navy-Wolf Grey-Infrared<\/h2>\n

Twitter<\/strong>: @lynch3conor<\/a>\/Instagram<\/strong>: clynch23<\/a><\/p>\n

I was at the Grove City Outlets north of Pittsburgh with my buddies in may of 2012. We were just browsing for some shoes at the Nike Outlet when I came across the Nike Air Trainer SC II in one of the OG colorways. I was always was a fan of Trainers and had missed them in 2011. They were marked down from $110 to $59.99 because they were running a sale and they 30% off on top of that, bringing them down to a cool $32 before taxes. I couldn’t have been happier.<\/p>\n
