Okay, so I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a pair of Jordan 12 Michigans for a while. These things are sweet, with the navy and yellow colorway. Finally decided to pull the trigger and try to snag a pair.
The Hunt Begins
First, I checked a bunch of the usual online sneaker stores. Nothing. Sold out everywhere, which I kinda expected. Then I hit up some resell sites. Man, the prices were all over the place! Some were crazy high, others seemed too good to be true (probably were).
Digging Deeper
I spent a good few hours just browsing, comparing prices, and checking seller ratings. It’s a jungle out there! You gotta be careful not to get scammed. I found a couple of listings that looked promising, but I was still hesitant.
- One seller had a ton of positive reviews, but the price was still a bit higher than I wanted to pay.
- Another had a lower price, but fewer reviews, and the pictures were kinda blurry.
Taking a Chance
I decided to message the seller with the higher price and good reviews. I asked a few questions about the shoes’ condition, where they got them, etc. Just trying to feel them out. They responded pretty quickly and seemed legit. We went back and forth a few times, and I finally decided to go for it.
The Waiting Game
I paid through the site, which made me feel a little safer (buyer protection and all that). Then came the agonizing wait for them to ship. I kept refreshing the tracking page like a maniac. It took a few days, but finally, the package arrived!
Unboxing and Verification
I ripped open the box like it was Christmas morning. The shoes were in there, looking pretty good! But I still needed to make sure they were authentic. I compared them to pictures online, checked the stitching, the Jumpman logo, everything. It all seemed to check out.
After carfully checking, it turns out those are real! Now I have my own Jordan 12 Michigan. I put those things on my feet, So happy!
