Take this propYes it does.
i might be missing something but i don't see any sizes repeated for any of the stores on that list
meaning they're only getting 1 size run? nah that can't be right
seems more like those are the sizes they will be getting, not their inventory
WORD??? INTERESTING.. HAD NO IDEA FA23 (NYC) GETS THAT MUCH STOCK.. THAT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN THEY USED TO BE FA ON THE CORNER ON 34TH. MIGHT JUST GO THERE IF NOTHING ELSE TURNS UP; JUST HOPING THEYRE NOT SHADY CITY.This speaks to Footlocker (not Action) size allocation....and yeah you're right FA23 (NYC) last year got around 400-600 pairs on the SBB restock. Even the UNCs (which they received only part of its shipment for release day) it had around 112 pairs (after employee attrition).
isn't this how all AJ1 threads be? Goes from easy cop, to easy if you do some homework, to not easy even if you do some homework, to hard even if you do homework, to oh ****, how am i going to get these shoes, to here's $350 reseller, please don't flake on me?
Releases like this is why I pretty much stopped copping Jordans.
Corrected. Educate yourself before opining like an expert. They are not overrated at all. '13s get bashed all the time. Just look around in this thread...it happens the most. People used to think of them as the standard bearers of their time until remastering began...or here let someone's hard work open your eyes Overpriced? We don't even know the resell on '16s. WTF is overbright? As for the tumbled leather. What beauty? You think the most prized hides for their beauty are cratered like a pimple faced teenager? Banneds are a good quality leather that happens to be tumbled. The OGs were quality leather too...see any tumbling?
Seems as though the two different shades of red between the '13 and '16 models is a hot topic of debate.
Those of you who keep thinking the 2013 are closer to the originals from '85 when it comes to the shade of red are sadly mistaken. OG's from '85 have the deeper shade of red that is exactly like the ones dropping in two weeks. That's why they're called remasters.
In my humble and GROSSLY INCORRECT opinion the '13s are overpriced, overrated, overhyped, and overbright on the red when you compare them to the OGs and the '16s. People need to stop claiming that the red on the '13s is closer to the OG than the '16s because that's not the case. Now the tumbled leather on the swoosh of the '16s, that's another story. The tumbled leather's beauty on the Bred 1s will be in the eye of the beholder.
Not all. Sometimes threads go from rough kop/should I pay double to secure a pair TO wow damn easy kop. Usually don't hear back from those who over paid though. But, always hear back from those who underpaid on resale.isn't this how all AJ1 threads be? Goes from easy cop, to easy if you do some homework, to not easy even if you do some homework, to hard even if you do homework, to oh ****, how am i going to get these shoes, to here's $350 reseller, please don't flake on me?

Nice! Congrats on the acquisition.
Got them early thanks to a friend. My first pair of breds ever and I'm in love!
About 250, well worth it in my opinion
Nice! Congrats on the acquisition.
How much was the damage?
Only 75 over retail is a totally reasonable price.About 250, well worth it in my opinion

Is it satanic to actually pray for these type of things or just semi nuts? Lord knows how much I want these....
I have walked in a pair of '13s on a hot day. Back then all they did was remind me of how terrible the DMPs had been. After breaking them in they did soften up just like the OGs used to. Have you broken in a pair of '13s? You just seem butthurt that you couldn't get your hands on a pair when the '13s dropped? They weren't always $600-800. They were once almost half that. The '11 BC3 were sitting on shelves at my local FTL and now they go for $400+. People absolutely hate their quality. Retro prices are basic Supply and Demand. Econ 101 really. The value and nostalgia has been well established. Your opinion is your opinion I am not asking you to change it...only to inform it a little better.
Tell me holy one...do you think '13 Bred 1s should be priced at $600-800 for a DS pair, based on the materials used and the quality? You ever put a pair of '13s on your feet, walked around in Disneyland for an entire day or laced em up on the court? Rhetorical questions.
And WTflyingF does resell on the '16s have to do with the '13s being overpriced? If resell on the '16s end up being $300-400, those too will be overpriced. Still doesn't change my opinion that $600-800 for DS '13 pairs or $400-500 for used '13 pairs is flat out ridiculous for a pair that isn't even close to the quality of $400 Pinnacle 1s.
Secondly, you obviously missed what I meant when I stated that one's opinion regarding the tumbled leather on the '16s is to each his own, considering that many people on this thread have claimed they don't like the tumbled leather because the '85s didn't have it. Ever heard of the saying, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?" Or should I define that for you smart guy?
Baroque Brown Pinnacle 1s have better leather quality than both the '11 and '16 Banned 1s as well as some OG pairs from '88-'98, all of which I owned, rocked, and wore til they crumbled to pieces. Are the Pinnacle 1's tumbled? No, they're not. Do I think tumbled leather is the best quality leather out there? No it's not, because I never said that. Your reading comprehension skills need some work.
Don't come at me trying to sound smart when first off, you don't have the slightest clue what I was even saying on the above post.
And if you've never worn a pair of OG Jordans, casually or on court for hoops, and I'm talkin OG's from the 80s or '90-'97, then you should sit yourself down on a stool and quit like Delahoya because I've been around these kicks long enough to have considerable expertise on the Air Jordan line.

You haven't touched a pair of '16s and we don't know the resell. If '16s end up taking on a much higher resell with a marginally better quality then they end up being most overpriced BRED not the '13s. See why the WTflyingF it matters? Its just a pre-mature opinion to call '13s over-priced as compared to '16s is all I was pointing out. They will likely end up being better in quality than '13s in most ways. But some have pointed out flaws in the quality of '16s as well.
Sure people have their opinion about the tumbled leather. But, your post seems to imply that '13s are not worth their price based on in part quality? Based on the 4 pairs shown in the video '13s are the cheapest with the cheapest quality leather . So their price seems in line? Part of reading comprehension is ascertaining implied meaning because too often people tend to conceal their ignorance with words. So, then define for me over-priced or any other words like overrated or overhyped that you use so casually without proof? You love to call me a smart guy...but can't help but slip in smart *** comments at every opportunity?
In your entire essay you didn't once address my counter-argument to your original argument about the color of the '13s versus '16s. Just some BS about disneyland and being realer than real since you've been around for a long time? As another member pointed out your album of pictures is grossly flawed when comparing colors based on different lighting conditions etc. I put a video that is easily searchable on YouTube to illustrate my point. How did you miss that OG? You think you are the only one around. I have done enough in Js and tested them in all important conditions. Everything from playing ball to walking on the Great Wall to pounding chicks.
