Haven't tried mine on yet but just eye-ballin' it and knowing my feet, I'd say TTS.

Hey all, I'm new here so please be gentle!

Ordered my pair from NDC (I live in Europe), got a shipping confirmation and tracking# yesterday. But I paid 140€ for them (about $180) and NDC has already lowered the price to 120€... Many sizes still available so if European NTers are reading, go get 'em while they last. (Knicks colorway was sold on European NDC too but is now gone... That was seriously fast.) Kinda bummed about paying more but in this day and age it's happening all too often... (You buy something today, ends up being on sale the next day...)

I must confess I'm not a sneakerhead, but one day I just stumbled on Air Jordans and got the Baron 1s off eBay for a good price. Have been supporting JB ever since, I just like the style and "famous oversized look" that most JB clothes have. Didn't even know what the Baron 1s were, and I used them as beaters! This was just a few years back. Never had the chance to get the original releases of AJ 1s, I wasn't born until 1992 anyway. 

HOWEVER, I've been an NT lurker for quite a while, I hope fitting in is a breeze. About that OG tag btw... I saw the video with the JB rep saying these Chicago 1s would be rereleased with the Nike Air tag, etc. (I pretty much read the whole thread before posting first...) And I was thinking, maybe she mistook the Black Toes that are supposed to release later in April for the Chicagos? AFAIK the Black Toes will have the "OG tongue", and they're not all that different from this colorway... Didn't see someone discussing this possibility... 

 (Just thinking, I don't have any insider info.)

Oh and if you search for "air jordan 1 retro og" on eBay, lots of people trying to resell this stuff for around $180-$200 trying to make a quick buck... 

Anyway peace I'm going now, was nice to meet you all, my job's starting soon (I work at an Apple reseller) but I know I'll just be hitting the refresh button on that UPS tracking link when I get there! 

 

[Ritchie X Rich]

Are these TTS or 0.5 size down?

I got mine in my true size. Tried them on. They were cool. Maybe very slightly more snug but I would say true to size. 

 

[DYNAMICS]

Along with GT's video also appreciated this breakdown between the '94's and '13's.

[streetballa2311]

i was trying to pass on these because of the rumors of the nike air. butttttttt.. these pics are looking clean. my brother works at footaction and says they are sitting so hopefully i can cop for the low. but i want that nike air smh

 

[sc415]

Don't see that many sz 12's on cl. I can't believe I missed out

 

[kobeoverbron]

You don't want to wait another 19 years before they rerelease. Buy it NOW

[robpzee612]

These sold out around my way.
Oh well,copped some Dominique Wilkins' instead.

 

[kobeoverbron]

okay. keep believing they will release with the Nike Air. And IF they do release,
keep thinking everyone can cop.

you make it sound like they are going to be hard to find close to retail. pairs are sitting and some people haven't even received pairs from NDC,FNL,etc. the way its looking, your gonna see a lot of them for sale. driving the resale price down. you can find pairs on average reselling for $150. considering tax, they come out to 119 and change. if you can't afford the $40 you shouldn't be buying these anyways...
either way when i read your post it was screaming "reseller" or "hypebeast" take your pick..

 

[heavyhitter77]

I went to local strip mall and all the shoe stores had both colors chilling. GS and mens sizes. Honestly now that I saw them don't see the drastic quality difference between the Knicks and bulls that people claiming just my opinion. Slight edge for Knicks at best. Knicks is nice tho didn't buy. Still may go back to get but keep telling myself I spent way to much on kicks in past few months and have some other stuff preordered let alone the royal blues are coming. Hard as hell to walk away but can't buy all the shoes you want can you?

 

[devindadude34]

Bulls were such an easy pass. JB ignored way too many of the details for me to even consider them. The shade of red, the jumpmans on the heels n tongues, the way too tall leather tongue, the shorter height of the shoe, the smaller width, the crappy leather, the overall shape.....lol.

Have a feeling that JB is just cashing in on this crappy one anyways and getting an idea for demand and then later they'll drop the real deal holyfield for $140. Will be just like the knicks but in the same bulls colorway. People are wondering why only the Knicks had Nike Air....they're probably not the only one....JB is just waiting to drop the other. They're just double dipping you like they do with everything else. It's comedy that people are still blind to it though. All of those 3s and 4s that they released in the past couple years.....here they all come again but with nike air this time lol. And you all will be buying them again just like you will the bulls 1 with Nike Air lmao!

LMAO Why worry about how another man/woman spends THEIR money. People buy what they wanna buy. Let em be. No need to come in and bash the product and buyers. It's as easy as not clicking the thread. I'm sure you read more than one page of this thread. Get outta here with that.

 

[devindadude34]

As if JB isnt known for this and as if GRs are super difficult to cop smdh. The fact that you guys bought up this weak version of the 1 will just make them release it again and again at a higher price.

Why worry about my opinion of the product and buyers? Last i checked its a free country and im allowed to speak my mind in this forum. No need to respond to me and assume what ive read. You can ***** with that.

Some people just can't handle the truth...

 

[jadakhanman]

Finally got shipping confirmation from ndc. Looks like they upgraded the shipping because it says originally scheduled for delivery on Friday but now rescheduled for early delivery tomorrow. Niiceeeeeeeeee.

I guess the only real problem I had was you bashing on what people buy and how many. Like i said, if they someone decides they like something, leave em be. Not saying you better like the product. You're right, you have your own opinions and what not but truth is,If you don't like something, keep it moving.

Peace
