When is the ideal time to get these at the best resale price? In 16 years in the sneaker game, I've never paid resale for a shoe but I think this release will change that.

either the week of release or the week after (moreso the latter than the former)

that's when sellers will be at their most impatient and trying to cash out, and the week after is when everybody's pairs start to come in

Production number on these have to be the same as Banned 1's. So if you put in work, chances are you'll get a pair.

Go tell that to the people in the Royals thread who put in 15 raffles and still have an L :lol

smh

It's pure luck and connections.

Hey y'all, been gone for a while, but I just recently picked up some OG 1985 AJ1 Chicago KO's. They're in pretty good condition. What do you think they're worth?

I hope you didn't pay much for those. You have to do a serious restoration job to make those wearable (as Chicagos).

Pretty good condition? What the hell happened to all the red on the back haha? Never seen it completely stripped off... I sold an 8.5 OG pair in much better shape a few years ago and it was a hassle selling them, think I finally settled around $250. AJKO's just don't have much hype, though 1's love is at an all time high.

I mean yea they're rough, but these are for collecting not wearing. I think restoring would be a disservice but that's my opinion. These are extremely rare. There's only one other pair on eBay rn, much better shape, but nonetheless these are a beautiful pair.

Do you think they're worth restoring? Because I can easily do it, it's just whether it will hurt its value or not.

If Nike sold this suitcase with the Royal 1's, jacket, and poster, I would happily pay $400-$500 for it.

these are cooked, the entire leather panel is stripped off.

and restoring these would actually hurt the value. sorry to say but you wasted your money.

Wow, sorry that happened to you-if you don't mind explaining, what happened?

It's sad that, in this country, most people fall into bad financial problems because of medical debt (I believe it is the #1 cause of bankruptcy).

Anyways, hope you can rebuild you collection-the good thing about sneakers is there are always rereleases to look forward to, if you missed an old release or had to sell said release and just miss that particular pair.

If you're going to restore, you'll probably have to wear it or sell it as a restored pair. Any collector who would pay good money for those would see that they were restored and obviously not VNDS, which would affect the value.
