@SoleSeeker23 Secondary market informal price guide that I maintain when perusing deals (keep in mind that wow releases a large number of samples for each model and it can be easy to get carried away chasing supposed unicorns. 5 bills is also my upper limit for sneaker purchases): GR: <200 LE/SE: <300 Samples: <400 Grails (GR1, '13 AS, etc) : <500
@GaussWho I agree I love the 1s and feel like the quality overall is unparalleled however there are some 2s that are beautifully made and constructed. The 2 305s is a highlight of the model, and the pebbled leather used on some 2 uppers IMO feels more "premium" than the leather on the 1s. On the 2s I also enjoy the subtle model name placement on the upper heel of the shoe as well as the "three" on the lower heel. I've heard people complain about the midsole from the 2s along the lines that it does not seem to have the same "quality/durability" as the midsole on the 1s but keep in mind the midsoles of the 2s are made of a Lunarlon/Phylon type foam that makes the shoe significantly lighter on the performance side. I'm also not a huge fan of the synthetic material used on the veterans day and camo sample 2s.
