dman 23NY pricing dropping like crazy for resell.... You can get a pair for $500 now.

im tryna get a seller to sell to me for $400 and they keep laughing like im some joke. Cant wait Flight23 does the big restock during ALLSTAR 2015.
 
I love '85s and you can't beat an OG, but unless your cash flow allows it, I wouldn't recommend getting them to wear. They won't crack like PU midsoles but the rubber gets hard and dries out. I hate getting sneakers to display but folks gotta think long term on some of this stuff if you wanna keep them.

'01s are great and the colors pop like crazy but they're 13 year old shoes and age and time can be damaging.

Do you think '94 retros are wearable? I'm thinking about buying a pair. They are in pretty good condition, but have been worn. 
 
 
white soles on the blk/gum wouldve made them must haves
only if the nike sign was gold. A white midsole on an all black shoe would look

1994s are definitely wearable. Thin collar padding if any at all and wear just like normal 1s. I had both pairs from 1994 and still wear the Wht/Blk-Rds regularly. I sold the Blk/Rds. No sign of damage at all. Interesting enough for those talking about nubuck swooshes, the Blk/Rd '94s had 'em first before 2001.

The '94s are probably the most nostalgic to me. They were the first retro release which led to the sneaker culture that we know today. The only down side of the pair I'm looking at is they don't have the box. That's not usually a big deal for me with newer releases, but I would like to have the box that came with these.
 
the only thing that made me sell me 94s was the ankle collar was too stiff, i mean, way too stiff. 01 shape is a problem to me, 13 leather is the problem. hope the remastered chicagos will be perfect all around.  
 
Banned's are sexy but I would easily take a DS pair of '85's over them
i would do this in a sec. 

being that my banneds wont see the light of day, i would not mind having a true OG, deadstock at that, would be incredible. 

and as far as the remastered 1's go...i can easily see JB flood us with low 1's in 2015...still think we'll see the metallics though

I think the Banneds are more sought after than the '85s. They're newer and will hold up longer. I would throw $400 at them, but I've come to accept that's a deal that I'll never find:\
maybe you could catch a worn pair at that price range. I couldve got a ds sz14 for $500 at a sneaker event
 
banned over 85 breds? thats flat out ******ed. they have amazing leather quality i agree, but they DONT look good plus that big X on the back. HELL NO.

Best price I've found on a used pair was $650. I negotiated the ebay seller down from $750, but before I sealed the deal somebody hit his buy it now.

what's up with these looking like they got no shiny leather? That changes everything

I noticed that yesterday.. Looks better without that shinny effect. I'm going to try and look at them today when I make my raffle runs.
 
You not getting the 85 or 94 leather quality anymore. My 94's are still kicking. That 85 leather is nuts. My Banneds just sit in the box wore them like 2x.
 
How many real pics have we seen over the last two weeks of the black gums? Why are you guys acting like all of a sudden they aren't going to be shiny :lol get over it already fellas.
 
Even if they do still have the shiny leather, it doesn't look nearly AS shiny as before. If they look somewhat like that in person... Probably gonna cop. I ain't got my hopes up tho

Banneds over 85s alllllll damn day :hat

This leather is on another level. Serious
You don't know and won't know until you have a pair for yourself or have held them in person
