Them not releasing in the USA is very relevant. Means they are much harder to come by than black and white. That is why the are going for a premium

Breds released in the US, so did royals, shadows, blacktoes...

It's the OG factor fam

Black/Whites are history, Gym Reds aren't

To collectors that means a lot
 
Who gives a smack about value.

This is all this thread speaks of.

What happen to collecting for the sake of collecting?

Everyone is looking to make a profit and in turn you actually miss out on appreciating the shoe. Forget the market value and enjoy the kicks, whatever they are.

Any more false info on these nuetral grey lows you said were releasing state side?

And I spread lies because I love seeing the hopes of a individual who has emotionally invested himself in a material product crushed. Have fun paying that resell on them joints.
 
Gone are the days ppl just be like "you u wanna trade this for that, I like them and u like these so why not" Now its "How much money u got? or I got this much too spend, what you got?" before they even talk about the shoes. I understand it but I don't at the same time. I traded my motorsport 6s for raptor 7s last year too someone I know, but not friends with. Purely because I like the 7s more. Didn't even discuss adding cash. Don't care bout that ****. Obviously if we talking something that's rare as hell it wouldn't be the same but if the shoes are fairly close to each other I will and always do trade without cash being added. Probably sounds dumb to most, but I do these small things in hope that it makes an effect somehow even its too one person. Yes im an old grump sneaker collector
 
That's how I used to trades with my boy

If one of us saw that the trade was stupid uneven we'd just add in a pair of kicks the other could use for basketball or beaters

No need to pay resell man

Was able to scoop up my multiples thanks to the legit sources I do have!

YOU have a great time paying resale

:lol

I do this with my boys all the time

Now a days the people you hook up/oop make a profit off the good deed

I've hooked up so many nters and can count on one hand how many times I've been personally looked out for

I've seen the worse cases on this site

Sneaker games all messed up and has been for a while now

Time to adapt

100% AGREE.

I hate this add cash on top because my shoe is valued at $50 more. To me, its all the same at that difference.

We're not talking I'll trade Frags for your Black/Reds. Makes sense to add cash when one shoe is worth two times or more than another. But when its $25-$100 difference, I call it even.

Its becomes similar to trading baseball cards. Gone full nerd status
 
those reverse qs/playoff 12 looking 20s are hideous. and i'm no expert, but the royals dude wanted a LC on do look fake, imo. why? mostly the tongue material, although it's not that easy to tell in all pics. plus they look rather shiny, but again, i'm not a jordan 1 expert.

most of us NTers are pretty much sneaker nerds anyway, or at least that's how we may be perceived bc we DO love sneakers mor ethan the average person. "normal" ppl don't have jordan 1s (or any shoe, for that matter) in 7 or 8 different colorways.

Ok explain why gym reds are selling for about $75 more than black white.
 
MMMMMM because they released well before black/whites so they're harder to find at the moment...

Give it until the end of the year fam

Same reason why shadows are going for $500+ right now. Shadows were a normal AJ 1 release just like Black/Whites and they're are tons of pairs out there (compared to gym reds)

IMO prices on Gym Reds have already settled at what people are willing to pay

Black/White prices are barely starting to go up now

aka harder to find because they didnt drop in the USA . which you said was irrelevant to price lol

They dropped 6 months before Black/Whites....

Theyre harder to find period. Would be the same concept even if they released stateside

Jordan didn't wear Gym Reds btw
 
reading all the comments about USA heads looking for Gym Red OG makes me feel bad I passed on them for just over retail

on our local FB in UAE someone offered me last December a BN GYM Red 10US for only 

160$ and I passed on it :(

The WOrst Part is that the GYM RED was released in UAE and I pass on it when I was on the mall for only SRP

I asked my wife if it's alright with her to Cop it and right away she said no so I put back the size 10US in the Shelves

a month later someone offered me for 160$ and still pass on it.
