Fragment Design x Retro 1 High OG - Dec 27, 2014

[jayoo88]

Rhats w

@jayoo88 I'll tell you why I think they are so great. 2 reasons;

I, for one, love Jordan 1's and have gotten most, if not all the color ways I wanted. At retail. This is a color way that I wanted due to me being a Orlando Magic fan. The fact they were so limited pissed me off cause had they not been done by Fragment I probably would have gotten a pair, no problem.

Secondly, the fact they used a mold more true to OG and better quality or made them "remastered" as compared to more recent releases just added to the value of them. I have Banned 1's and BIN 5's and those to me are best I've owned from Jordan Brand. If these are even close to that then I'll love em even more. From most people who have gotten a pair it seems that the quality is definitely improved.


Not to many places got em and only Nike Lab and a few Euro spots released online, which made this a really tough release. You had to be on it on each site with flawless execution or have a bot. Trust me I tried and was on as much as I could be. FAILED! You brought up Jeters cause they are similar in resell value. We'll if Im not mistaken Jeters were more widely available. Correct me if Im wrong. I understand the story line behind that shoe, but they were still not as limited as the Fragments...as far as how many retailers had them available. This definitely contributed to the resell value unfortunately IMO.

I never thought I'd ever pay $800 for a pair of shoes, but guess what? I did and not regretting it one bit. I sold 3 pairs of shoes that I paid retail for, for over retail. (Bred 11, Grape 5, Taxi 12) and worn pair of Gloves. All of which I had no problem getting rid of. These will get beat and look better long- term than the aforementioned pairs. All the hype killed it for us that truly wanted a pair to wear. Anyways, my 2 cents. Sorry for the rant

Good luck to all those still on the hunt.

thats whats up. See i didnt know the mold was true to og. I wish they did that with the jordan 4s because that clown toe it has is what makes me hate the 4s now. It used to be flat years ago now its poked up. Sucks the frags were super limited for jordan 1 folks. I can see 600 like the jeters. But 1000 bills for a shoe. Yikes

Caved in and let my pair go. The offer was too good to pass on.

It's clear they're fakes, but look at the actual NDC promo pics, the logo on those is huuuge too. Glad they scrapped those lol.

No need to be biting your fingernails but I understand. I'd personally rather have the kicks anyways. I can make that extra cash anytime. Congrats on your come up though

Seeing you reselling kicks mean everyone's a reseller in my eyes haha

I know a couple of TEXANS(NFL) players that get all their pairs from Nike comped, Corks, 88's etc

i've compared my pair UP and DOWN with a NDC pair, and they are identical.

my pair comes from an NFL player, so like i said before, IM NOT WORRIED.

some of you saying "why are the promos made a month after the initial run", there are NDC pairs that have the SAME production date as my pair.

one thing i've learned about some ppl on NT is that they are quick to assume and if they hear something that they've never heard of before, they dismiss it with nothing to base it on.

If i had a dollar for everytime some fool played the "for some dunks" card.

 

[v8erman]

Also if i had a dollar for every person with a long winded talk about what Air Jordans are all about when they probably never set foot in a store to buy a jordan when it came out. I would have some extra frags.

Yea you did pay all that money for some dunks. Dunks actually came out before the jordan 1 and was pretty much modeled after it. Enjoy!

 

[NickFolarin]

Does anyone know where I can get standard solid black AJ1 laces? I wanna do a lace swap for my Barons, but I'm OCD and only want the same.

Here's the GM pair I saw with the sample tag http://sneaker4life.com/2015/01/13/air-jordan-1-x-fragment-fake/

Great logic there.

I guess everything that's released after it's predecessor is considered the same thing now

 

[dtrx22]

wow GM pairs looks really fake

yeah that's a bad pair. lol

 

[el3ctronick]

received my pair...I don't think I have ever seen a better quality leather in my life. It is by far the highest quality nike has ever produced!!!I don't think that a better sneaker quality can exist. hahaha joking of course! having all the "good" recent jordan 1s(meaning royals, breds, shadows, LMs, lack/white, blacktoes etc), their quality level is between LMs and black/whites..so we know the increased "remastered" retail price is a joke. anyway, i got them from reseller, he provided receipt even his credit card's receipt(but the numbers were erased)..I do believe these are legit

 

[rebelmindz]

Also noticed the rolled up tongue tag ,so there goes the idea of legit checking pears by the tounge tag being slightly rolled

Seems like a common thing for one logo to be more embossed than the other. How much you pay for them bro?

 

[boosthog]

I'm wondering if the embossed portion will sort of normalize and puff out over time with heat and wear.

Hopefully not, but just a thought that popped into my head.
