If you're reading this, it's too late.

Thanks to Nike Store's last-minute cancelation, Saturday's Air Jordan 1 "Chicago" release was met with even more hype than originally expected. While many 'heads struggled to lock down even one pair, it looks like the resellers are the ones who came out on top last #Sadderday

We spotted these two stockpiles on Instagram, which are just a few of the many reseller hauls from one of the year's biggest Air Jordan drops thus far.

Instagram user @fezkickzny posted a picture with his secured pairs stating, "Some ppl will always just be salty telling me to get a real job, career etc. but why when I make more then certain ppls jobs and careers." While secondary-market store Padded Room, located in Chicago of all places, showed off a full stock wall.

Both of these images have around 60 pairs pictured, and with the current after market price hovering around $500, it's safe to say these guys are looking at some serious profit. 

You'll have one more chance at these during Nike's rescheduled online drop. As of now, it's tentatively slated for late August, but we'll be sure update you as any changes are made.
