THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

 
was looking for more pics of the monotones and came across this

http://hypebeast.com/2015/2/nikelab-air-max-1-patch

"select NikeLab locations February 26 before making their way to additional spots across the United States March 12."

these will not be that hard to get.

nothing to jinx and these aren't jordans. will these will only be hard to get if your hyped up and want to be one of the first with them on your feet. this is the same exact way last years version released. they were hard to get on the first go around and resell was high. when the second round came around i was able to walk into a shop 2 hours after they opened and grab a pair. another pair i picked up from here for like $20 over retail or something. resellers still bought them but the market of people who wanted them was much smaller than it is for something like jordans. they sat on ebay for a good month and resellers had to significantly lower the prices. after that is when the prices started to slowly move up. it doesn't make sense for reseller to buy shoes like this and sit on them for months to make a profit when there is always a more popular shoe that they came make more money on much faster. doesn't mean some won't try but that's when a little patience on the buying side pays off.

I know they're not the same thing but Nike puts stuff on NikeLab that people dont even care about and they watch it sell out instantly, something like a special AM1 with extra patches will get alot of attention. really hope they're not as difficult as the past releases but I'm already banking on not being able to get them. I would love to grab the olive or black pair.

i don't disagree with you that they will get extra attention being a lab release and having the the extras. last years pack got extra attention too and the first found was even more limited them. the first round of last years wasn't even available online. but with patience they were not that hard to get at a reasonable price. we both know that a good chunk of limited releases ends up in the hands of resellers. these are however a riskier move. i don't think we'll see the instagram shot of resellers with 10 of these and if we do they won't be able to move them all for a high rate. someone who's not into am1 but is interested in by them because they are limited and have extras is going to be hesitant to pay high reseller for them when there is always another jordan release around the corner they could put that money into. and a good amount of am1 heads won't pay high resell. it's not something that common with am1. add to that the fact that they look close to last years version. then add the fact that it's 3 different pairs. just from the post on here few of the people that really want them want all 3. it's a small pool within a small pool. i'm not trying to argue with you and i'm not saying it's gonna be super duper easy to get them. i'm just not stressing this release. i feel confident that if i wanted to i could wait to see some real life pics of them, decide which if any i wanted and get my hands on them without breaking the bank.

I feel what you're saying bro, I didn't mean to come off with a "I'm right, you're wrong attitude" I really do hope you're right though. I would love to have all 3 colorways but Im setting my sights low and putting all my effort into just getting 1 colorway. I really just don't want a repeat of the blk/reds.

no worries, i didn't take it that way. which pair you going for first? black seems to be the most popular.

Personal preference is Olive, Black then Tan in that order but I'll be happy with just one. Black is so clean but yeah I'm hoping not going for those first will give me showballs chance in hell for the Olive pair

 how about you? Are they all releasing the same day? I only saw tweets with the tan and black.

i got the tan and olive from last year so getting just black could round out the set for me. plus the colors on the tan and olive were looking a little muted to me compaired last years.
 
Awesome, a major AM1 thread :smile:|
Wasn't aware of it's existence 

nice one! Curious how the new "patch models" will turn out

@sneakerp  Black ones are dope but I'll be going for the Sand colorway. I mean in a perfect world I'd be able to get one of each haha, but being a size 13 makes it harder as well :tongue:
