Would the shattered backboards sold out or sold as much as they did if they weren't considered "OG" and didn't have Nike Air on the tongue?

Which Air Jordan 1 benefitted most from being marketed as "OG" and having "Nike Air" on the tongue?
Which sales would have plummeted the most without the OG marketing and Nike Air?

SBBs would of sold regardless of NA and if it had a Jumpman logo (black of course) on the heel .... The leather is nice and the fit is nice. I suspect it woulda been a slow burn if it dropped on the low. I think Nike was clear about the narrative and why it was being offered with a NA tagging....not sure of the black gum tagging (helped by NA).

Oh yes i forgot about those. But without the Kanye cosign you think they would have been as hyped or sold out?

the chicago 1.5 sold out everywhere and people actually wanted those cause MJ wore them. Lets see how the reception is for the royal 1.5

I agree on the SBBs because of the story behind it, so i think people would have been intrigued by them regardless but this much hype behind them? i dont think so lol

exactly and its actually crazy because he actually wore the chi 1s but just because the 2013 had the jumpman on the back it wasnt as hyped, regardless it sold out after a while but resell was very low, i found them for my girl for $170 DS

everywhere out here where i am they sold out. i think mostly for the fact that people wanted to swap the soles on them then realized how thick the upper was, so now they trynna let em go for crackhead pricing. to be honest the shoe is really ugly lmao

Hell no, 1s have never moved the way they do now so without the Kanye cosign and without the NA... Royals would sit. They'd be bought up by some but I doubt a day 1 sellout.

In all honestly the dudes clowning are doing him a favor. Hopefully this guy takes the advice. Why would you spend money on expensive basketball shoes and wear boot-cut jeans. It's not a good look, but to each his/her own I suppose.

I think royals woulda sold out regardless....the 2001 Royal retro eventually sold. I think that fact ye was rocking them is an indicator that he knows 1 history and the strength of that part of the trinity. I think his co-sign just meant resell price points are in beast mode for royals. Likewise ultraboost were moving before he rocked an all white pair and had the hypebeasts grabbing pairs and raising the resell value. I think the 2013 CHIs didn't move because the mold used was funky and that toe box had folks spending mad time 'breaking' them in lol

Three pairs that benefited from NA branding:
1. Highlight reels
2. black gums
3. SVSMs

Those 2013 Chicago 1's were complete garbage material IMO.
