I had a chance to cop those Melo 1s this afternoon but the suede/nubuck material killed it for me....

If these were all leather, I would've definitely copped!! 
 
Y'all funny with the bred, royal talk. Whats funnier is that the supposedly most iconic cw never gets in the convo. I think that goes along way towards the legit place the royals hold. Really no argument.
 
Finally caved in and bought the clover/Celtic 1s for $100...I passed up in these at the outlets when they were $79.99

Sold mine on the lo lo the same day after I had them in hand. Materials were so trash I couldnt even put them next to my 1 collection lol. That buck upper attracts dust like a mofo, and since its black you can see the specks of dust everywhere
 
Went shopping with my mom earlier since I'm visiting her in Cali. I stop into a random shoe palace and chop it up with the employees about Jordan 1s (I had on Breds, one of them had on Carmine 1s). I ask them if they had a 10 or 10.5 in the Melos and they had a 10 and 11. I copped both, figured I can sell both and my 10.5 will be free

Yeah, I don't expect to get a huge return on them. But I have a pair already on hold using my brother's discount, so 20 bucks a pair will bring the 91 I'd be paying down to $41 plus tax
 
If you found a toddler pair of unworn Jordan 1 1985 what would be your best price you would pay to add them to your collection?

My friend just told me his son has an original pair that he was given as a gift when he was born and has never worn them or used them in any way. He was wondering if I would be interested.

If that's really your mans, then he should just let you have them/tell you to throw him a $20.

I see, wasnt intending to knock on your hustle. But Id say unload them quick, feels like resale will level off at the 150-160 mark. 
 

I might have missed it...but the only reason I got these Celtics/clover was for everyday jay wear... More of a hi-top fan than mids or lows...plus it is a simple colorway...

I dunno, it might settle higher. I feel like some are trying to hold out to get their pair at retail. I offered them to the homies for retail but no one hit me back about them.

About the quality, the shoe is really nice in person. The black is the Durabuck like nubuck from the infrared 6s, it won't get ashy or dusty. The leather is kind of tough yet soft if that makes sense. Not the best leather, but it's not the worse. The colorway on these makes this a hard shoe to resist. It's probably in the top 10 jordan 1 colorways ever

I mustve received a fugazi pair, my pair is nowhere close to what you described

People either loved the quality on these or hated them. The Jordan quality snoots typically didn't like them. The quality was better than I expected, but not the best quality in the world. They're better than some other shoes I've owned though so no complaints from me.

I agree...for now. I've seen them go for $175 or less the last few days.  They'll be low at least until March...people have to save up for all these Feb releases and ASW. Once those tax refunds come in they might go for a little more.

Perfect for everyday wear...I feel the same about the black/gums.

Something about the black/gums that just don't do it for me...def. Nice everyday wear type of jays..
 
Just sold a pair on IG for 190 shipped, the demand on these is certainly there. I love the colorway on these, I just wish they were a OG 1 high instead
 
Waiting on that 3am Nike Uk release, would like to ask those who own them on how the quality of the 2013 breds compare to the black/whites?
