I think they're okay. Defiantly not my favorites, but they're not bad either. I would buy a pair for retail, but I'm not paying $300+ for them..what u guys really think about gym red?

I think people started liking the shadows more after or around the time of the black/red I release. I think afterwards is when we actually started noticing the aftermarket price increase

Lmao!
The shadows were always loved around here. It just was less desired cause hype was on toros. Gave a stigma that shadows weren't worth it at the time when people pass for another shoe

It was because of the toros that released the same day. People were really excited so the shades became a sleeper shoe imo until the black/red Is that's when people's interest in them grew

Shadows came out after the Royals... I think the price of the Shadows skyrocketed around/after the Bred 1 release

I'm starting to think some people don't want a shoe unless there was some sort of struggle or tears were shed in copping a pair.
People literally had 6 months to cop a pair of shadows for $50-$75 over retail, I just can't take people with stories of missing out on them seriously.
If you only buy shoes once there is a certain level of hype behind them, you'll always have a sob story.

Considering shadows dropped 4 months later I don't think this is the case

Are you serious I'm not trying to flame but how can you flex with a collection smaller than 95% of the people in this thread

This. I'm sure this applies to a good chunk of the people in this very thread.

He was being serious and I don't think he meant anything negative by using "flex". Even if he only had 1 pair of 1s, everybody has to start somewhere.

My collection is nothing compared to 99 % here, I only have like 6 pairs.
But it's a joke, because I got warned that if I post my royals again I will get banned, so Im joking on the flexing part. Why would you take it seriously?

It's sucks reading about the shadows and how it was under appreciated. I've been ignoring AJ1s and Dunks the past 5 years and now I'm paying for it, literally through high resale prices.

This is it.
Black toes and shadows were easily attainable, just like the AJKO's.
If you didn't get black toes or shadows it was because you really didn't want them. Everyone was concerned about the fire red IV's. I remember being in the I thread and it was like people didn't know they were an OG colorway or realize how wearable they were.
It was funny to see the Baron's come out and people try and convince themselves that they were better, because they didn't want to pay resell prices.

Black Toes were easy, but I didn't get them because it was all star weekend and the big restock too.
My spot limited it to 1 pair and I went for the Bred 4 over black toes.
I figure since I had old loves and AJKOs that the black toes could wait.
I didn't even try for shadows because I really wanted the 2009 release.

Nah, I'm not taking it serious. I was honestly just asking. I attach the term flex to some d bag who wants to show offer something that is unattainable to most (and propably will never be worn by the poster) and one pair of royals ain't that I was unaware that you would be banned for showing off your shoes

What's funny was I started to pass on those, because I had the 2009's. I didn't think I would wear them that much.
Glad I didn't.
