OT - Want to buy Xavier Simpson's shoes?
Long story short, my nephew negotiated with Xavier Simpson to buy X's pair of Nike jumpman basketball shoes. White with black lattice design on sides, never worn, size 12, see pic below (assuming it shows up after I post). $230 with optional autograph. I am supposed to meet X at 2:30 today (in Ann Arbor, apparently he's still in town) to complete the transaction but my nephew, who is quite young, just learned the concept of "buyer's remorse." Before I cancel the transaction, just thought I'd throw this out there to the mgouniverse for an hour to see if anyone else might be interested. If so let me know asap in the comments below before 11 am, including a way to contact you (if email, one that you'll respond to in real-ish time) and we can hash out logistics/payment/delivery.
Sorry to piggy back, but I have found Xavier McDaniel's game worn shoes for sale online (seriously).
What a country
It's cool. I have a Joe Dumars basketball card signed by Steve Fisher, and a Dairy Mart matchbook signed by Jimmy King. What a country indeed.
Okay, so the pic (which I copied and pasted after the text body) doesn't appear to be showing. If you express interest I can email the pic. Imagine: X's talented hand, dangling a mostly white shoe festooned with the Jordan jumpman, against a grassy backdrop, and there you have it.
Interested. Can you shoot me your info via the personal contact form? Don't have a burner to post here
Is that really a thing? I'm unawares how to find it if it is. Here's my burner email if you want to send me a note there: [email protected]. I'll get the message.
I think your nephew should carry through with the agreed-upon transaction!
He's a good kid, just working out his attitude-adjusted priorities. I give him kudos for having the chutzpah to get this far with it.
Simpson wore 12’s?
What size is Jeff?
That was my first thought as well.
Hey I'm like 5'11" and wear size 12s. some of us got clown feet. Apparently the average shoe size in the NBA (as of 2013) was 14.81 https://www.reference.com/world-view/average-shoe-size-nba-players-6d31976d0dfbf40e - TIL.
I am 6’ tall, or at least I was, and wear a size 12 also. My growing-like-a-weed son is around 5’10” and also wears a size 12, but he’s only 14.
I’m interested. I will send you a check for $500–just give me the difference. In advance. Thanks.
Not-at-all-fake-looking money orders are on their way, Fishbulb.
I got a pair of Derrick Walton’s game worn PE Jordan 31s. Why would he get black and white shoes from x. You gotta go for the maize and blue!
Not interested, but if anybody's looking for a 2020 Michigan Football B1G Championship ring....sigh...so am I.
No, but if you have a line on a pair of Zavier Simpson’s shoes, I might be interested.
He's back to X. Apparently no love for Y.
Alas, this last-ditch hail Mary effort has failed! X keeps his shoes and remains $230 poorer.
So... the price wasn't right.
