Official Air Jordan I Retro BLACK/ROYAL Thread FEB 2013

[itzzzberny]

Honestly I these are gonna be hard to grab. People think the hype isn't there, just wait til after the 88wc drop. To those thinking, "well the Knicks sat" might be in for a rude awakening. Either way best of luck copping, I think we're gonna be reading a lot of salty posts after this release.

should have pre ordered them for $200 when i could have. SMH

 

[hreveur]

Why do people always expect or say they hope to see banned quality leather on these as if they don't already see the pics from people who receive their pairs early. I'm not tryna be rude or anything but people need to face the fact that banned quality leather will not happen again or anytime soon for that matter. The quality on these will be on par with the Knicks 1s.

Royals best of 13 so far

lol. Really? Can't say I see it the same way. Great cw on a great shoe but not the best.

 

[maddoxkay]

You can't compare these to the Knicks. That's like comparing a base model C-class to an SLS AMG just because they're both Mercedes

Well you have your own opinion don't you

 

[rcjbbp1313]

i love all of the OG 1 colorways, these look very clean and will be happy to wear these naked as well, porno style and maybe go deliver a pizza

The only comparisons of these and the Knicks being made is the number produced. Which has been proven to be relatively the same.

Huh? Compare the pics. It's the same mold, same leather, same sock liner. I think it's pretty easy to compare the two. You only wish you were getting a Mercedes rather than the Honda.

LOL @ the first quote.... Its like comparing a Orange Corvette to a Blue Corvette.... The only thing different here is the color......

he's talking about the demand for the royal blues are gonna be a lot more than the knicks CW. i agree with his statement.

Huh? Go back up and look at what he was responding to, the guy talking about the quality of these and what to expect. It's painfully obvious from the pics that these are the exact same quality as the Knicks. Either you're on board with that or you're not, but this isn't any "Mercedes" quality 1 dropping in a few weeks.

This release can't come any faster.

touché. i know quality wise these will be the same as the Knicks1 that just released. but if people think cause they were easily able to get the Knicks or seen them sitting, the royal blue aren't gonna be the same in that aspect.

 

[sir charles]

Nike all star pack, joker 3, 88 white cement, xx8s.

Not sure how much $$$ these dudes are gonna have for the royals... Royals will still be easy here.

Maybe not, but these are one of a dozen shoes dropping on that weekend. Given that tax season is behind and you can't even file until this week, I see a lot of people passing on this one due to funds and other more in demand/hypebeast sneakers dropping. Not saying this will be the easiest cop ever, but I don't see it being impossible either.

i'm just hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. if they are easier to cop than i think, then bonus for us. really want 1 to rock and 1 to stock. been waiting on the royal blue 1s for a while, almost there....

Same here.... I really hope these drop on NDC if not i'll try my luck with NT I hope they have an RSVP if not I guess i'll have to rely on FNL or Eastbay and i'm not looking forward to that....

 

[chennylou]

You need tighter jeans!!!! Also you will need an obey shirt too and blue fitted!

*snapback

 

[itzzzberny]

i live in LA so twitter RSVP is like finding a needle in a haystack... heard and suspect that both NTLA and NTSM are fishy with their RSVPs. a few people get in but seems that a lot of the stock is being held for friends and family. notice it more w/ LA than SM. either way I still believe it may be a hard cop.

also IMO the all star pack is so much weaker than last year. last year there were 4(maybe 6) highly sought shoes
1.galaxy foams
2.aj1 dave white (yea i know they didn't resell well, but i remember they were selling out instantly and the pairs sold within a week of release were being sold for $300+. poor fellas who paid that amount)
3.galaxy lebron 9
4.galaxy kd4
(5).galaxy kobe 7
(6.)galaxy flight ones
didn't count the zoom rookies cause they came out way later.
but this year its not looking as good..
IMO this year nikes sig shoes are looking better for performance and lacking in looks.

Try one of the snipers.... Sneakerrsvp.com seems good but I have used other guys on here with no complaints....

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

I'm ready to get this release over with all ready .. hopefully i come out with a pair or 2 

 

[lamekilla]

You guys really disappoint me with this buy 2 pairs, one to rock one to stock nonsense. #1 they're gonna be limited so all that talk flies out the window. #2 half of y'all are on this thread cause you wanna look like Kanye. Kanye like some of us ROCKS HIS KICKS. None of that icing crap. 1's look best beat up so if and when I get my hand on these....I'm rockin em 2 weeks straight!
