JORDAN 1 Black-Red -- RETAIL Vs FAKE-GM PAIRS ULTIMATE COMPARISON ON THE 1ST PAGE!!!!RECEIPTS ARE NO

[sneakerfan1]

well yeah, of course, being limited has a lot to do with it for some people, but not all of us...

this isn't directed at you, but not everyone that says "I don't care about exclusivity" are telling the truth.

It's nice to have some things that not everyone has, banned 1's are just that. they're still not worth the resale value

Bingo. People frontin' like they wouldn't feel slightly different if JB produced 500k units.

I've had countless people turn down strong cash and trade offers for them. I can't knock it, but I'll be damned if I'm going to drop something close to mortgage payments on a shoe that I can purchase a perfectly serviceable version of in a few short months. The collector in me would love to own them, but I missed my boat when I didn't make the outlet trip a few years back. Life goes on. Even if these are Black Toe quality, I will gladly toss em in my rotation and have a pair (or pairs) on ice so I can rock them for years to come.

Lol I wouldn't mind an Air Ship retro. Too bad it'll never happen…

with "banned" packaging?

And why is that?

This site has them coming out the same day as the 11's this year. Should make them easier to pick up

Yeah, but I wouldn't invest too much into that wordpress document.

Black/Red 1s > the 11s that are dropping this year.

Either the Gammas or the "Laney" c/w or whatever.

 

[rcjbbp1313]

black/red 1s > anything releasing this year

Exactly.

Exactly.

 

[the 718 truth]

with "banned" packaging?

Nah I'd be fine with just a regular retro

 

[the 718 truth]

And why is that?

I just highly doubt it. We haven't seen em again since the OG in 84, or they'd just mess them up lol.

 

[lilaznboi727]

I wish the hype on 1s was nonexistent. I remember when I copped the CDP pack that came with the 1s and 22s a few years back everyone was like "wtf those aren't even Jordan's" or "are those dunks" "nice SBs". Still wore em though. If I pulled those out now...

Too bad the sole is super yellow on em

i regret passing out those.

Wish there were a better time frame than just the fall for these. Gonna set aside the bread for my two soon regardless.

By time frame, do you mean you wish it were more specific like an exact date? Or more like you wish theyd drop in another season altogether?

Sounds like he wants a release date so that he knows what he should have the money ready by. Trying to keep money for two pairs set aside only going on the knowledge that they're almost confirmed to drop between October and early December is a bit difficult.

Precisely. Gonna set the bread aside soon regardless, but I stay on eBay in between all the new releases that I target nowadays. Luckily these are one of my few JB must haves left.

My KOs are in the rotation heavy, but they're no substitute for these.

Ahh I hear you.

I was wondering bc to me I dont see anything else this upcoming quarter that looks interesting besides the 1s so for me saving $$ for that wont be a problem

 

[f-lace]

finally something worth looking forward too

 

[kjtrey]

Uh-oh. Spotted Kanye wearing these. Insanity on release day and the days after guaranteed.

Same.  Not many new releases that I'm looking ahead to.  Makes it easier to hunt down grails on the bay.

Only Jordan I want for the remainder of the year. Would like to trade a pair for '01s. Then all I'd need is 85 and I'll be complete.

 

[mj4ever2320]

I am done for 2013 ........just waiting on these bad boys.

 

[dimez81]

banneds all day.

i own both, and i even own 85 black toes, and the banned quality is on another level.

it's the main reason this retro later this year won't hurt the value of banneds too much. hardcore jordan connoisseurs will still seek them and pay a premium price for premium materials (not to mention the story and theme of them, the weird release only in outlets, the first time putting nike air on a jordan shoe in over 10 years, their first real acknowledgement of how this shoe changed the game, both the shoe game, and the money game, making the NBA change their rules, leading to huge money endorsement deals for players, etc.)...

I like 2001's over banned. the color pops more and smoother leather...not really for the tumbled leather look.

I like that vibrant red on the 01's a lot too but that banned leather is kinda insane.

 

[seandon23]

What type of leather was used on the banneds? I thought I read something on NT and the dude said it was distressed leather. Anyone know for sure if this is true?

 

[jumpman cbt2]

Yet even the og black/red 1s didnt have the quality of leather from the banned 1s.

It's tumbled leather and it is the softest/nicest feeling leather that Nike has put out since I can remember. And I know because I have four pairs.

What if JB kept the Jordan Branding on them for this year, then a couple years from now they brought out a Chicago/Black pack with NA. Honestly it'd be fine with me if jordan branding was on this years pair, but take the jumpman off the heel...

Yeah, I don't really mind the jumpman on the tongue, you barely notice that vs. the NA-- it's the Jumpman on the heel that really ruins it

I'd be pissed. The whole reason why I want these is because its OG branding...

I have a pair with a jumpman on the tongue. If I wanted that, I'd buy another pair of DMP's
