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

[v8erman]

I think Nike was smart to give us exactly what they advertise to sell us, a retro of a given shoe. If someone came to me this year and said check out my retro 1s and they have a stupid mid cut and/or jumpmans everwhere, i wouldnt think of buying.

agreed 6s mights get nike air treatment next year... you know what that mean everyone gonna all of a sudden love 6s...i remember last year people was talking mad smack about 6s. just watch next year.

They would charge the same as they did the 88's

the pre orders are going for rape prices right now 350-450... said to be extremely limited.. but i agree the most i would spend over retail to get em is 250.

Where u seeing these pre orders?

Too early to judge the price, at least IMO. Week or two before the release the accurate prices will set in.

Citysole is an accurate site to judge prices based off their pre sale prices.

No offense, but only a hypebeast would care about what everyone else deems a shoe to be. So 11's aren't cool anymore because they were widely released? Smh. The definition of hypebeast is "only likes cool or limited shoes".

Wear what you like, who cares what anyone else thinks.

I think I just got labeled a Hypebeast for not wanting to look like a Hypebeast?

not sure where you got that i didnt like it was widely available. Or that i loved 1s cause they were "limited". I could care less about GR. heck I'm hoping these 1s will be a GR. but I'm not spending hard earned 200 cash on shoes with terrible quality that will look like trash after a year. I love the XIs, they are iconic but Nike manipulates that and tries to get by with lowering their amount of cost to produce knowing they will still sell out. I think it's great if someone is wearing the same shoes as me but EVERYONE in NT complains when a shoe becomes a Hypebeast shoe. I'm no different. Like with the Royals and Kanye, or people fret when they see a "celebrity" wearing shadow greys before RD. If that still makes me a Hypebeast then fine, as long as its not for the incorrect reasons. I love shoes for what they are, and what they mean, not only for what they look like.

You guys think $550 is a good price for DS pair of Black/Gold Patent OG's?

Damn, is that what they're going for?

 

[scooterman87]

How many times must these come out?

They rarely do them properly, so not that often so far.

They're actually going for upwards of a stack, lol.  Crazy indeed.

 

[mannchyld]

I hope the production numbers are high on these. Hands down, this is my favorite sneaker. If these have the same quality as the Royals, I'll be more than satisfied. I've got a love / hate relationship with the Banned version. I love the feeling of the leather, just hate the way it wears, wrinkles, and creases.

jsfordays.com and soleserious.com.. n i dont like city sole they more over priced that some places.... sometimes windycitysole got some good prices on pre orders when he first put em up but close to release dat he got some rape prices. ill vouch for him thoo very legit. if you see a good deal that you wont see again go for it.

Doubt it.  The 3's, 4's, and 5's didn't recieve the NA treatment during their repsective 23rd anniversary years, and they still sold out instantly.  I think 3's-6's will continue to have the Jumpman until sales start to slow down (and we know that's NOT happening anytime soon).

"not sure where you got that i didnt like it was widely available. Or that i loved 1s cause they were limited"

Never said either of these things. And I never called you a hypebeast either. Celebrities always wear early release Jordan's, JB makes sure of that. It's great advertising. Just because a celebrity wears a shoe it doesn't make it a hypebeast shoe. That makes no sense because they wear almost every shoe that releases, so they are all hypebeast shoes?

I just think your logic is flawed, I never said you yourself are a beast of hype.

What are hypebeast shoes and why are the labeled as such in your opinion?

Damn, is that what they're going for?

Try $800-$100

 

[geraldg2309]

@JoeyD12 okay fam, re-read your post with a different perspective. My bad for taking it the wrong way. I'll drop it and move on, no harm done. In no mood to argue about this

 

[jecca650]

550? Lol I sold my pair for $1200. Didn't plan to sell but couldn't deny that type of offer.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

Thank God for banned 1s

 

[pelon875]

Nike is out for the money. Eventually they will just release every single shoe again and label the box "OG Retro" and be identical to the ogs. They will probably release the 88 3s again but this time they will also put " Nike " at the bottom and people will go crazy and buy them again. I mean what other og color do they have left to bring out again. Is it just going to be a never ending cycle of og colors? Would be nice if one year they just release new non og color ways for all the numbers(1-2. Two shoes a month for 12 months mabey do 3 releases a month every 3rd month. But I guess business is business and they got to get their money somehow.

 

[Gordonson]

That would be great except for two things:

1. Jordan Brand is far more miss than hit when it comes to creating new colorways for some reason.

2. Two pairs a month, or sometimes three? Do you have a money tree man? That's way too much, especially if even half of them somehow turn out to be decent. Space that $%#+ out over a few years.

 

[rmolloy24]

These will be my first pair of Jordans ever if I can get them. Quite fitting since they are also regarded as the GOAT Jordans by a lot of people and they were MJ's first.

good start bro, hope you get a a pair as you won't regret it.

 

[isniker]

start from the start

You say that like every Jordan hasn't been re released over and over.


This is nothing out of the ordinary. Just enjoy the retro's while we can man. One day they'll stop and we'll be complaining about it.

What are you talking about? People have always loved VI's, they just didn't love that ashy crap or banana shape that JB has been putting out

sometimes u get 5-8 retros coming out in one month so thats actually not bad for 2-3

True. I remember when I was in HS there was almost a new Jordan every Saturday.

Ashy banana has got to end for sure. JB needs to knock on Nike's door and ask them for some real premium materials.

There's no reason why the Air Max 1 can be retro'd over and over and be great almost each time, but JB can't get something they've executed before right again.

I don't think they want premium materials. Not yet at least. Expect well executed Jordans when the demand drops a little. They are too high in demand right now close to everything sells out. When they have a rough fall of maybe 4 failing retros we might get a very well done shoe to kick off spring. Then when the demand is there they stop. JB is great at doing this and so are a lot of other brands.
