We assumed that you knew better than to come on a sneaker fourm like NT and ask a "reseller" question. Silly us
Is that straight forward and civil enough?

My brother wants me to try and pick this one up for him since he's going out o the country for work. Hopefully it'll be easy since the Guccis sat for a mInute at my store but hopefully it's not too crazy.!

i love my 1994 pair and they're still wearable but i will probably try to get these too. i love this colorway on such a classic.

You know what's up. I just got done looking at another pair. The toebox already had bumps on it and the side was scratched. I took one whiff of the shoe and it had nothing but a chemical smell. It's a shame that JB didn't do these justice bcuz they were my first Jordan and would've loved to have a good pair again. Oh well, life moves on.

Don't own those, but I do own Banneds & BMP Pack and the leather doesn't seem to even match the BMP Black Toes. And Banneds is obviously a whole other story. It feels super stiff, slippery, almost plastic like.
Retail is $110, & $60 for PS size

Damn. I was looking forward to getting these strictly for nostalgia. I can't do that stiff, plastic-esque leather though. Absolutely murder on the feet. Ones aren't that particularly forgiving on the feet on their own. Ones + pleather= call your podiatrist.

You are correct. It is stiff, it is slippery, and I'm pretty sure it is plastic bcuz it sure as heck doesn't smell like leather. Like u said, this is just a nostalgia shoe. It's just a shell of it's former self.

Are they at least comfortable?? damn I was kinda looking forward to these as long as they don't feel like cardboard I can rock with them. Let's face it even with the good leather the 1's have always been instant crease on the toe box from day one.

Smh....that video killed my happiness for this release. Then the video with the Nike rep saying they're going to drop them again with the Nike Air on the tongue smh. Made me pull the trigger on the Infrared 90's and Neon 95's. Now I'm going to double on Royal's to curb my appetite I need Banned 1's.....bad

I will now love this guy forever. Exactly what I've been saying. I want to thank Joe V. for showing the differences between this new release to those other two which were good. JB trollin' hard.
He's still a con man and dirtbag..in my book.

I didn't try them on, only inspected them, but they don't look like they would be comfortable. If u get them, just take the original insole out and replace it with a high quality one. Your feet will thank you.

U made a good decision. Also, if u find a good deal on the Banned 1's, pull the trigger. U will love them.

Thanks dude...it's all good. Just hate hearing any praise go to this guy. He's a damn disgrace as far as I'm concerned.

If this happens I rather just wait....if what she said turns out to be untrue I'll just pay whatever these cost down the line since they wont be much over retail anyways

...I love how she said, "a different grain of retro". In other words, the plastic Jumpman Air version. These guys/girls at JB are straight jokers!

That rep sounds like she's just saying it to say it.
I'm still 50/50 on these, worst comes to worst if I can get a discount on them I'll pick a pair up and sit on them.
