Air Jordan 18/5 Countdown Pack Reminder (Available TOMORROW!)

The Jordan 18/5 Countdown pack drops tomorrow morning (August 23rd) at Jordan Brand accounts.  This pack features the original MJ PE "Fire Red" Air Jordan Retro V and the "Black/Red" Air Jordan Retro XVIII.  I don't remember ever seeing this colorway on the XVIII.  MJ was on the Wizards when these came out and they were released in mostly blue colors in white and black.  I was never a huge fan of these but they look hot as hell in red.  This pack retails for $310 as all others have previously.

My local Olympia Sports has been getting all of these Countdown Packs and almost every time, they have a some left over a few days or even a week later.  It's usually only one or two sizes but that blows my mind.  I guess the recession is in full effect when re-releases of Jordan's aren't selling in a matter of minutes yet alone days.  The $310 price tag does not help the cause either.

I'd love to get these but it may be tough for me to get up early and get in line tomorrow. I may just try my luck online tonight but I am sure I will get bricked early.  I have almost the exact version of the AJ V's in this pack except they do not have the 23 stitched on the side and they are only a size 12 1/2.  I take a 13 but I still bought these a few years back when they first retroed because I had to had them.  Luckily they stretched out a little so I could rock them once in awhile!  These are one of my all time favorites.  MONEY!!!
