Navy Metallics was another pair that sat and now creeping up. I think i grabbed mine for $95 a year later and now the prices look to be increasing. Want another pair for $100!

****one of my many messages encouraging people to grab them at retail when they dropped in 2018. 0takusamsay and a few of us were a handful of folks all over this shoe from day 1. Game royals will only continue to gain steam.
Better jump on obsidians soon if you’re a non-money size, because in 2 years, like game royals, they’re gonna be stupid $$$$..
Well to be fair I'd wear a pair I spent $200 on a lot more than a $700 pair for fear of them getting messed up.People are actually wearing the shoes for once..me personally I’ve seen more Turbo Greens, ROTY, Game Royals, Spider-Man’s etc out in public than I’ve seen Unions, OW’s or Travis Scott’s...In my opinion since people are actually wearing and beating up the shoes the amount of them for sale dry up after a while. So the price increases. I guarantee by Halloween those SBB 3.0/ Black and Orange whatever you want to call them. Will be hitting for the high too.

Folks too scared to wear them.
damn, turbo greens are going for that much? I actually disliked them but now want a pair to really beat up. No lie, thought they looked great when the guy on Survivor had them on the show and they were beat.
I think any of the decent 1's from the last couple years are all going for $300+ (for size 9), even the non OG's (LA to Chis are $600 for sz9, Shadows almost $400, Spideys $500, Court Purples $500, Royals almost $400, Turbo Greens $300+, etc.).
If you can't get them retail, they are almost instantly out of reasonable price range. I'm not trying to spend $500 on any 1's (or really, any shoes).
Lowest asksI don't feel like looking, but what are prices looking like for those wings 1's....the brown joints.
IMO the Metallic Navy’s are an example of being an OG. They were passed up on when they dropped, but over time, them being a legit OG colorway has eventually made them coveted and increased their price. I think the same can be said for most OG-ish colorways (like the Game Royals, in classic/OG Chi color blocking (except for the tongue), but blue instead of red). As long as JB doesn’t do any BS (I’m looking at you leather Wings patch), IMO I think they could put damn near any color with an OG colorblocking (in particular Chi, Blk/Red, UNC, and Black Toe) and they’d either fly right away, or eventually go up in price if they sat initially.Navy Metallics was another pair that sat and now creeping up.

We’re both suckers than when it comes to that combo of white laces with a white tongue. But, the Chis are a must IMO to having black laces with their white tongue. However, I might rock the black laces as well on the upcoming Court Purples.I’m a sucker for white tongue/white lace combo but these might be the only one I leave with black laces
Those sat at certain places then on certain websites. I think even to the point where you could you a discount. And the hyper royal just were terrible imo even @ $90 I didn't want them.Game Royals did sell out, but they could have definitely been had for retail or almost under in some sizes after the release.
Yeah, I feel like I committed a crime if I switched to white laces on Chicago’s for some reason. No offense to anyone who does it but I just can’t.We’re both suckers than when it comes to that combo of white laces with a white tongue.
