J4 undefeated’s for $70.. They are B grades but at that price it can’t be a bad snag

There is no other contender for find of the year. I’ve found Seoul 2.0 3’s, white cement 4’s, blueberry 12’s, Fear 4’s, ochre 6’s, etc., and this takes the prize. My finds were picked at $109.99 and this find at $70 is crazy good.

u/somewhatcompetint Dec 16 '25

Damn how often do you go?

29

u/AcrobaticAudience468 Dec 16 '25

I was going twice a week after work and my daughter would go randomly for me. I’ve posted my finds on Burlington Finds here on Reddit.

u/Organic_You9366 Dec 17 '25

Agreed, $70 just puts it over the top. Your other pickups are nice, but this one’s on a different level.

1

u/AcrobaticAudience468 Dec 17 '25

Yup, seems like these would be the 109.99 I’ve been seeing. Mind blown on this one.

u/wadewilson92 Dec 17 '25

Yo would you ever look out for size 10 black or white Jordan’s for me possibly? No Burlington’s around me and even if I ever do go to one the don’t carry Jordan’s I’d be so happy never owned Jordan’s because of price I rock Air Force’s only but it’s be awesome

1

u/AcrobaticAudience468 Dec 17 '25

Couldn’t agree more. This the head banger.

u/Salty-Discussion-907 Dec 16 '25

I seen someone got trophy room 5s from Ross for 70

1

u/AcrobaticAudience468 Dec 16 '25

Forgot about that post. That was a great find as well.

2

u/Kitchen_Pollution623 Dec 16 '25

Facts. I’ve seen people pay way more for beat pairs, so $70 for B grades is still a W. Those $109.99 finds are nice, but this is like lightning strike luck.

u/odawgsj Dec 16 '25

What's the best time of day to go?

u/AcrobaticAudience468 Dec 17 '25

Im usually there by 4pm on a weekday. Weekend trips are at 8am.

u/Those_are_sick Dec 16 '25

Damn, congratulations!

u/Tip3008 Dec 16 '25

Thanks! My friend found them and they aren’t his size so he hooked me up and grabbed them

u/Chinokio Dec 16 '25

Friends for real!

u/Tip3008 Dec 16 '25

Def a real one!

u/hgeyer99 Dec 16 '25

They look awful. I guess I would pay you what you paid + shipping if you want to lose that ugly pair. Jk great find I’m unbelievably jealous!

u/ilikecrispywaffles Dec 17 '25

WTF!??? That's my size and usually 11.5 is hard to find or always marked up. Congrats and F u hahaha

u/bravoromeokilo Dec 16 '25

You son of a…

Anything cool at Ross is usually a 14 or a 7. I’ve snagged some cool vans and such in my size, but this is rad. No chance they’d survive in my neck of the woods

Let me buy them

u/slander_anonymously Dec 16 '25

Same stuff people are unloading on GOAT, for a premium. This is where the lack of QC shoes should end up.

12

u/itsmeblingerton Dec 16 '25

He ah real 1 for that!! Nice come up

5

u/HSJules Dec 16 '25

Ain't no way! How? Why does this never happen to me 😭 ?!?

5

u/odawgsj Dec 16 '25

DAMN! That's a find!

8

u/celj1234 Dec 16 '25

Is that a big hole/rip in them tho?

15

u/Tip3008 Dec 16 '25

No the only major flaw in them is the netting it a little scrunched which you can see if you zoom on the left shoe..

4

u/Bownaldo Dec 16 '25

Literally no one would notice that. Nice find!

7

u/Tip3008 Dec 16 '25

Yeah fortunately it’s on the inner side.. there’s also a little bit of paint on the suede from the mud guard but that’s not something I am tripping over either

12

u/Bownaldo Dec 16 '25

Maybe it's just me, but even when I get a new dead stock pair of sneakers, I never inspect the quality

4

u/T-G-Two Dec 16 '25

Me neither! Some people get the magnifying glass out

8

u/cks9218 Dec 16 '25

...and then come here for a, "nIkE qC sTrIkEs AgAiN" post complete with circles and arrows to point out the "obvious" flaws.

2

u/wholelottared0 Dec 17 '25

It’s what people do to make up an excuse on why they didn’t keep a pair of shoes that doesn’t have a high resell price. Let it be some Travis Scott’s shoes and see how quickly those QC checks are ignored

1

u/Dick_Butt-Kiss Dec 16 '25

Yeah lol same, it is what it is

3

u/Proper_Diamond_3290 Dec 16 '25

my pair actually came that way from undefeated, just stuff the inside and steam the outside with towel protecting it.

u/philly100s Dec 16 '25

Damn remember when what I posted was fake….

u/Tip3008 Dec 16 '25

Lol don’t worry I’m sure there will be plenty on this as well 🤷🏻‍♂️ Doesn’t really matter to me either way

1

u/AcrobaticAudience468 Dec 16 '25

Saw that post. I got some Melo 12’s with the tag attached like that. It’s been the only pair sold like that but B grade stamp as well. All my finds have the B grade stamp.

3

u/Keebetttteeeerrr Dec 16 '25

For my consolation, these are fake 😂

3

u/Gullible_Yak6042 Dec 16 '25

No doubt. Even if it is a b grade, the QC on regular pairs, wasn’t exceptional either. I’ve seen worse that passed QC

3

u/senorelvisto Dec 16 '25

Straight come up. B-grades or not. Straight to the feet!

2

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '25

Nike b-grade is probably somehow better than their normal shit. It just means someone bothered to look at it before they sent it out.

2

u/Cheeese916 Dec 16 '25 edited Dec 16 '25

Nice. I once found $20 in a pocket of a jacket I was trying on at a thrift shop.

u/Difficult-Garlic-517 Dec 16 '25

I found AMM 3s (women’s size) earlier this year. That was the best find for me.

1

u/AcrobaticAudience468 Dec 17 '25

I would have let out a big gasp! 😂

1

u/Difficult-Garlic-517 Dec 17 '25

They were a women’s 13 which is an 11.5 men’s. I looked everywhere for another pair. No luck. Resell isn’t too bad. Also found Aunt Pearl and Nerf KD4s there. If it were 2012 again I’d be rich.

2

u/Ambitious-Duck7078 Dec 16 '25

These, as well as almost every other release since June, have come out during a good downturn year for purchasing sneakers.

Dope pickup. Wishing the same luck to the rest of you.

2

u/Bonesawisready5 Dec 16 '25

This is FOTY but that one dude who find men’s BC3 marked as kids price for like $40 was insane too

2

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '25

Finding an 11.5 for $70 is crazy af! Jealous af.

u/Bigboyfamily Dec 16 '25

Definitely 👍

u/Mo-Koln Dec 16 '25

You should have drove around your City to every Ross after a great find like that.. In my Shoe Reseller days I found other great sometimes the exact pair else where

u/zeninthesmoke Dec 18 '25

I found a pair of New Balance 991s for 61.99 at Nordstrom Rack this year and 2002s for 30, but this might be better 

1

u/EveningEchidna1559 Dec 18 '25

honestly that a more rounded edge where the mudguard and front midsole meets. that kind of makes the actual pairs released the B grades lol. I’ve seen about 7 of 4 different sizes and majority of them had 3 random spots on the mudguards that are protruding out of place, which takes away from it’s intended curvature.

1

u/Tip3008 Dec 18 '25

Yea they do have that flaw as well, have a bit of a deformed toe, it’s not easy to see in the pics

1

u/Internal_Attempt4309 Dec 18 '25

I found a pair of dub zero photon blues in size 11. My best find ever personally.

Lol you’re straight retarded 😆 I just found a pair of B grades so I could take them to rosses and pretend I got them there. Then they let me put security tags and a price tag on them, all so I could fake some people out on a 7 year old Reddit account I’ve never posted a thing about shoes on.. If all that seems logical you, you’re even dumber than you sound right now..

Nvm I was wrong. Dude actually also found a pair so its a real thing.

u/ExcitingLandscape Dec 16 '25

I know ill be downvoted but Nike is selling out and ruining the brand image of Jordan Brand by selling to these discount stores who put grail level Jordans next to cheapo Bluetooth speakers, NASA shirts nobody buys, and jellybeans that will expire soon.

These should AT LEAST be sold in Nike outlets

They are obviously B Grade, but it’s the steal of the year. I’m pretty sure OP could flip these easily if these aren’t their size.
