Same goes for the AM 87 jewels, those sat for ages....FL couldn't give them away...I think they even went down to 15 eu in the sale at a certain point and they still sat
Yeah. Forgot about the AM1 jewels.
Sometimes I think I'm crazy. Because this is exactly how I remember it. Never owned a pair of jewels so when I see the thirst for them now, I'm baffled.
Waddup, Phil. I can't say I didn't have jewels, but I definitely preferred the regular style. Also, highs were always may favorite cut of the AF1, so that was wack too because they didn't do highs. ...Except for that sample pair that Phase2x has and won't sell to me. Grrr.
*humble brag* hahahhaha. besides having more jewels, u drop enough jewels in this thread, speak your mind my liege.
i know and remember when jewels came out and it wasn't something so hot that everyone was rocking them. a lot of them hit sales racks and i think it's more due to the fact of the size of the swoosh is why they weren't well received upon release. but nowadays all of these sneakerherbs, i mean sneakerheads, go crazy for a vintage pair. you can parallel this to air max 1 jewels.
Oh, you should talk - you're the king of the humble brag out in Lo thread. LOL.
I wouldn't even completely say it's love for vintage, because most of these herbs actually don't respect vintage at all - or else I'd be the one getting Martini money for my joints, instead of those dudes selling fake Oregon 3s. What these doofuses want is to act like they know something you don't. But, they don't know jack because they're all paint by number. So, they hear you're into Forces and they're like, "yo back in the days, them jewels was crazy, my dude." And, it's like, nah padawan, dem jewels wuz da dissapointmentz, famalamadingdong." As always, a little knowledge is worse than no knowledge - most dudes in this "game" know just enough to screw things up.
Jewel AM1s are still wack.
I wouldn't got THAT far, brotha.
It wasn't really the jewels itself that the problem was..it was the colorways
If they released those black n yellow and black n red joints with the good leather they would seLL to ppl like us.
As far as the contrast stitching bumblebees and the blk n reds in 01..
Out here my way they sold out week 1
I grabbed the black n red last pairs but couldn't get "bumblebees" nowhere
They did release tho color combos in leather.
There were the red style cones in '98. There was the Greek pack in, what, '04?
