I am trading my breds for royals...I would do a straight trade...I actually want to wear them down to the ground...


More valued?! lmao.....maybe in your eye...but its 1 for 1..

Sorry man, but coming from someone who has multiple pairs of Royals I would never make that straight 1 for 1 trade

Black/Reds can still be found for decent prices (just have to be patient))

Royals are almost non existent. I swear 99 out of 100 pairs on the bay or any social media are fake

I would rather sell my royals for $750-800 and purchase some black/reds while pocketing some $$

That's just the way it is
 
you would too if the shoes were swapped


**assuming you are trying to trade blk/red for royal ...

Royal's are more valued...unless you have Banned 1's.

you know damn well the royals have a higher value than the blk/red unless you are talking banneds... your just setting yourself up for unneeded anger to yourself

Hmm. I didn't know this. Were Royals produced in less quantities? I have both but I'm rly not into the resell market unless it's a shoe I'm looking for.
It looks fair to me lol. The red is prettier, but the Royals are slightly better quality...again...to some that matters...to me it doesn't.

Only reason price of Royals suddenly skyrocketed was cause Kanye wore them. From a basketball and Jordan perspective, the Breds have much more relevance and should be more valued.

but this aint purely basketball at all

like someone else said the royals were basically a EU drop & finding a legit pair is def a needle in a haystack search..

this is coming from someone who had more pairs of royals than some US stores did & sold my personal pair few months after rd because i honestly never liked the cw at all wanted the closet space

I see someone answered you already. Also to add, until 2013, the Royal's weren't retroed for a very long time so people were really thirsty for them. Then, they were nearly impossible to get for a lot of people and the demand was so much greater than the supply. People have been struggling for those since they released.
 
KD looks so awkward in this photo. His torso fits someone 2 feet shorter than him

As of right now royals are worth more than black/red. That's not to say that royals are better than black/red because IMO the black/red 1 is THE definitive air Jordan (and red is my favorite color) but the royals are like the first LS air Jordan. The colorway goes so well with the silhouette, the same with the shadows as well. I'd say if you were to trade DS for DS black/red for royal you'd have to add at least $100 cash with black/red...for right now. I say after this year or at least toward the end of this year black/red's will be 1 to 1 with royals. I feel like black/red low's and chicago's will reinvigorate demand for '13 black/red 1's

Anyone get faked out reading that nike tweet about the Jordan 1 cp3. I just saw Jordan 1 now available and I was like oh maybe a restock
 
Yup that's what happens when the culture rocks undershirts as shirts.
I blame Lil' Wayne...

I'm guilty of it too though, but I only wear the colored undershirts now days. They look fine if you're not over 7' tall.
 
KD out there looking like 1 of them worm guys from Men In Black that always say WANGA!
 
umm nah :lol thats how polo t's fit fam :rollin
