OFFICIAL AIR FORCE ONE THREAD!!!!!

[ghostdog]

theres also what i call the "lazy factor"..where today everybody trynna get it the easiest way and tge fastest way. So they dont mind dropping 3 bills for a 1 bill shoe. I remember back then u just had to walk up the store and ask for your size...thats the way it is yo and u just need to build a circle where ppl cop pairs for each one of the members and keep it tiiight

 

[monosylabikal]

Yeah I understand that.

Honestly the way resell prices are, if I was a sneakerhead, I'd buy two pairs, one to rock and another to sell double the cost so then I basically get my worn pair for free.

People doing that **** all in that Chicago thread anyway. Coping multiples so they can recoup and make a little money.

Everybody wants in on it...

 

[njavier03]

Uh this and the Chicago's are the only two releases I care about this year.

Think about the Chicago's, nearly everyone wanted a pair, NDC canceled and didn't seem like they made enough.

A few years ago prices weren't where they are now, resell wise.

But **** just stop and think about it.

You got a shoe that's not even released and people already asking for a preorder price of $300. Just think of how absurd that is.

I don't care how folks spend their money, but just the whole notion that these resellers can scoop up a ton of pairs with a bot and jack up prices 3x the shoe cost is really disgusting and I truly hope Nike has longterm plans to undermine that business.

Real sneakerheads are the losers in today's game.

with nike cancelling releases left and right, im sure more than half of these presales will go unfilled.

 

[thorrocksjs]

It's kinda discouraging but I will have my pair and will get it for retail

 

[Sir San Diego]

Meh. I'm just gonna make some IDs.

Over it already. Last time I bought the white/silver highs I got them on sale... BECAUSE NO ONE CARED. Now all of a sudden dudes are on AF-1s like that? FOH

Well... maybe, if I can catch them at retail.

 

[njavier03]

i know what you mean bro. AF1s have been pretty dead for a few years now and then all of a sudden white/silvers drop and now theyre hyped again? dead meaning taken a step back in popularity compared how it was in the mid 2000s.

 

[majestic]

mannn... af1s were being hated on for a while just until recently

people were always askin me just a few years back why i was still wearing tims and af1s.. and now the same douchebags are wearing tims and af1s

 

[monosylabikal]

Cause its OG, "remastered", closer to the '82 mold from what I could tell atleast.

But again bro this is all hypebeast ****. I swear can you not get a OG release that doesn't have enormous hype behind it?

 

[zack15]

Supreme and Tisci forces brought out all the beasts. That and Geiger with the misplaced checks 

 

[ghostdog]

bro im telling you...nike knows exactly that writting OG or RETRO on a sneaker name will blow up the sales...that **** is wack yo

 

[250caddy]

How can you get mad at folks dropping tons of money for a pair? They want it bad enough they'll get it. If your only way of copping sneakers is through a reseller you have to bite the bullet, if you got the money.

So that ain't going to work. You gotta break this resell game somehow.

The resell game will never break when there are people out there willing to overpay (in some cases, SUBSTANTIALLY overpay) for shoes. The people overpaying are the problem, they've created, and are sustaining, the reseller market.

Will be easy to cop if you really want them

 

[mf gooze]

I kinda feel like this is true. I think Flaxes will prove more difficult than these for some reason.

 

[80swerv]

Yeah there are places in NY doing phone and online orders people just have to research if they really want them

 

[nawghtyhare]

Maaaaan I REALLY may camp for these

 

[All Ready]

boys really feeling these I see

they cool but I'll pass

not a silver guy at all

 

[nawghtyhare]

I NEED 2 pairs of these
Switching to the gray laces asap

fair enough, i tried to search the thread for sizing but wasn't quite sure because people were referring to different types, so. I appreciate the response, they should be here Monday and I'll post a little update. Thanks boss.

Got my air force 07 mid bred's in today... they are kinda snug but i have like a thumb width of toe room from my big toe at the front so i feel like if i went up .5 they would have waaaaaaaaaaaay too much toe room. Can anyone comment on how much the leather-like material will stretch? (I know someone said the material on the breds isn't the greatest)

 

[poscogrubb]

Any leads for SoCal stores selling the white/silver high's?

 

[bozlycity]

Can anyone give me information about the sizing of the Clot Lunar Air Force 1 low's compared to normal Air Force 1's or to a pair of Lunar Flyknits? I only like buying my TTS and hate wearing sneakers that fit even a little bit big. Thanks.

geiger is garbage

I agree

I would also like to know this, seems like this release will mostly be east coast.

 

[darkwizard]

It sounded like you already made the purchase from that first post. That makes a bit more sense.

Really though, people already answered the question as best as they could (general consensus of .5 down, with some liking the true-to-size fit); but everyone's foot won't be exactly the same so you'll have to either find a way to try whatever plastic *** mids you can find in a nearby store on, or roll the dice on the 9.

They will stretch a little bit, no more than any other shoe tho.

I prefer my forces a little snug so they don't crease as easily
