The sudden hype for the struggle Shadows is amazing. They were not sought after at RD, but now they are? Nike's marketing machine at work!
For me it's really simple. I wasn't into shoes when the barons released. I just got back in last year after taking a few  years off.
 
How did the hype for shadows come about anyway? Just ppl trying to complete the banned/royal/shadow color block trifecta?
I bought 4 pairs of shadows on release day from a local footaction cuz ppl that won the raffles didnt pick them up. Picked up my pair like at 5:50pm and waited for the 6pm raffle deadline to scoop up the remaining size 10, 10.5, and 2 11. Ppl just got stuck on them Toro 4s. Even the employees didnt want the shadows. Few months after I had the employee that sold me them ask if I still had all the pairs I bought cuz he was in the market for a pair lol. Still got all 4 pairs...

Well yeah, also a lot of people were salty on the breds, so they try to find shadows as a consolation prize.
 
i dont get these prices either, im still stuck in the mid 2000s and think breds and royals should only be worth 300 tops

, every other og joint should be retail or bust

I think Soft Greys, given their wide availability at the time, became a very attainable and reasonable cost alternative for those that struck out on Blk/Royal and finally in December 2013 on Blk/Rds. Thus, supply went down, they quickly grew on people and prices started to rise.
 
Trade check:

9/10 2013 Shadows for DS white LM's.  I would be getting the Shadows

Otherwise I can buy some 2009 shadows in 9/10 condition for $270 shipped.  Kinda leaning in this direction

Good trade only if you have been looking to add the shadows to your Jordan 1 collection and you don't mind giving up the DS LM's [emoji]128077[/emoji]

Personally, I wouldn't trade DS shoes for used shoes. Now if it were DS for DS, I would do the trade in a heartbeat ;)

I picked up VNDS 2013 Shadows for $310 recently (a decent deal sadly in today's market). I think you can get more than that for DS white LMs so I would probably pass unless the other guy added a bit of cash.

I think its simple. Shadows are such a clean cw to wear. You can never go wrong with Shadows. If I've worn the trifecta 100 times combined, at least 70 of those were shadows.

Its the GOAT for me when it comes to 1's. Breds have more significance to me, but Shadows are just too beautiful. You can dress it up or down, it don't even matter. It just belongs with anything you wear.
 
Shipping coms yet for anyone?
newp, and i ordered multiple barons to diff addys

yea, i dont think it hits you until they're in hand how loud a bred or royal is compared to other c/w. shadows are just clean as hell
i feel like the same can be said for the blk/whites
yup, and the quality is wonderful
 
Here you go bro @matters7 I like how they're doing it... if you don't fit the shoe you ain't getting it

I know the difference in resell value is substantial between the two, but I could never trade away a DS pair for a worn pair. I'd make an exception for Frag's tho.

Still no shipping confirmation from .com
