Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

[redeyejedi]

@redEYEjedi pretty fair imo. I would do it. Especially cause you said you had multiple pairs and bought for retail

@geraldg2309  Thanks!  I'm leaning more towards this sentiment, considering what I have invested and what I'm getting back.

 
I feel like the breds 1s will be at the same price range as the fragments in a couple of years so i wouldn't do it, just save up and buy them and keep your doubles.

 @smokey I could   possibly see this happening but like you said, in a couple of years.  I see people trying to charge 800-1000 for the 01 breds but those aren't selling.

right now he is winning with that but in a few months when fragments shoot up you should be good. Plus you have triples so shouldnt hurt

 @alp Yea we'll see if they'll shoot up or not.  I have been noticing that the market is getting dry very fast and there aren't many pairs left for sale. 

I say go for it, especially since you have multiples. Those frag prices

@tHe 718 tRuTh  Yea tell me about it.  Frag prices are no joke.. that's why I'm not trying to actually PAY them.

That's an easy trade. Go for it. Fear Vs are overrated and when the midsole splits years down the road, your Frags will be wholly I'm tact.

@AIRGOLDEN2123  I wouldn't go so far as to say Fear V's are overrated, but I'm not a big fan of V's in general and I have DS multiple pairs in multiple sizes, all for retail or less. 

You're winning on that trade EASILY

@RobTooFresco  Thanks, if it's that easy I wouldn't be asking haha.

Bad trade. Dude with fragments is laughing, but I can understand if u did it after u said u got doubles.

@matters7  You think so?  Technically he has $400 invested (shoes + cash) and I have $330~ (retail bred 1 + retail fear V) invested.  

I'd tell him to make it $300 instead of $200.

@Jays25  That is an option I could bring up. 

The Deals in here for Fragments got me like wow... brothers pulling all the heat from under the mattress to obtain these jawns

@lethalfuse  I wish there was a mattress big enough to actually fit..   I will be sad to let go of a quadruple Bred 1, but don't care much for Jordan V's in general.

Guy gettign both shoes winning fears go for 500 and so do the 1s

@Misha  You think 500 is fair now?

 
the retail/multiples is the only thing making me say ok to this trade. Then again, you might wanna wait out the hype and see if prices dip a little, then you'll be in a better bargaining position later on

@BreezyHamilton  That is a thought, but I'm also seeing my size getting scarce on the bay and the only ones left are trying to ask for 900-1000.

Right there with you man

Have people ready to sell of their collections to make the money for some Frags

I'm starting to think they might very well hit $1,000.

@Jays25  I could understand how it seems that way, but I technically have 4 pairs of Bred 1's, all purchased for retail and UNDER, and 3 pairs of Fear V's purchased for retail and UNDER.  I actually don't care much for V's since they're too bulky imo so I never wore any of them.  I guess if I only had 2 shoes in my collection, you would be correct about "selling my collection" haha.  I guess I should clarify I'm working on my 2nd and 3rd pair of Fragments also.  Maybe I'll be laughing soon too?  

No. This is not a fair trade. No body is gonna buy those frags at 1000+. You can buy yeezys with that money.

@Shenggg   Can you really buy yeezy's for $1000 now?  Never checked since I actually think they're all pretty ugly.  Plus I plan on wearing the Fragments since AJ1's are my favorite shoe!

Or maybe I'm wrong. The more expensive they get. More ppl gonna go after them. That's what hype does lol.

@Shenggg  Yea, the lame part about hype.  I just want them to wear but haven't a disorder about not being able to wear something until I have multiples.  It's a curse...

 

[redeyejedi]

I think one thing a lot of people don't consider is the fact that the brand Fragment has always been loved and adored by the asia market, so even if the US/EURO market may dip in interest, asia will always keep its interest in anything associated.  I'm pretty sure the asia market could care less about the NYC's and the Jeters since those are more regional.  For example, I live in LA and don't care much to wear a shoe repping another city, but that's just me.  

I haven't really decided on the trade yet though, but seriously, thank you everyone for commenting!  It really helps when you hear people chime in to get some perspective.

Let's look at it aftermarket value-wise (because I feel that's how you want to judge the trade)

Frags = $800+ EASY. Will increase in time & 98% sure we won't see a retro.

$200 CASH.

vs.

Breds = $500 about. Shoes will be retro'd again eventually.

Fears = $400 about (Don't care what they're listed at, doubt they're MOVING for more than that).

Looks about even to me as of now & Frags will only increase in time so you win value-wise.

Breds are moving at 500 and will keep increasing dout we. Sees a retro anytime soon and please send me a link for ds fear 5s in any popular size for 400 and yes they move at 500+ . Can you find frags for 800 to 850 right now of course you can fc has a 10.5 for 900 right now while they have the Breds at 700 nd fears at 650

 

[stillmatic718]

Do that trade bro, if you have 3 pairs of Breds, definitely do it.

Yeah breds will increase but just knowing that they will retro again would be enough for me to make the trade.

Plus breds were a GR compared to frags.

Yeah idc for fears or V's in general for that matter so being a bit biased there. I just seen a few sellers struggle trying to move them on Twitter not too long ago so that's what I based my pricing on.

Take 20% off FC prices for breds & fears & there is your true market value for each of those.

 

[jays25]

4 pairs of Breds, 3 pairs of Fears, all for retail and under, and you don't really like Jordan V's anyways? May as well.

 

[gethigh420]

Fears are wack and there's so many different styles of bred 1s to pick back up in the future. Just 1 fragment.

 

[shenggg]

frags wont retro cuz they aint classics bruh. not worth it. yall thinking that cuz only they are limited. not that its worth more than the classics CWs

 

[lf12]

My bhms from ndc still havent shipped. Anyone else?

same. nike being lame

@Stillmatic718  Thanks! If I do, I would definitely have him ship first.  No doubt about that.

@RobTooFresco  Thank you so much for your insight.  I really appreciate that you took the time and effort to backup your rational with data (or place to get data aka FC)  I used to used FC prices - 20% to get relative "market value" but totally forgot about that!

4 pairs of Breds, 3 pairs of Fears, all for retail and under, and you don't really like Jordan V's anyways? May as well.

@Jays25  Call me weird, but I'm still sad to lose a spare on in my size.  I actually have 4 pairs in my size, plus another DS sz12 and DS sz13...

 

[ogretro4me]

Still salty about fear vs at first they where the ugliest in the pack Jb made them the most limited and I haven't ran across a 10.5 yet

really good analysis. i'll add, we prob won't see fear 5s again, but i think he has multiples of those as well

 

[kennyisdead911]

Anyone here get shipping confirmations from Hanon yet? Usually they are pretty quick.

 

[v8erman]

Im not saying one or the other because im not a hype machine but, im willing to dish a pair of royals for a double and pretty much no shoe i would consider doing that for. Call it what you want. Im a royal guy, not a sneaker collector fanatic so i dont know the designer and all. What i know is this cw is a natural extension of the royals like the blk/toes are and easily could have been an og. Probably should have been but oh well. The concept was put out there and the execution flawless. Unfortunatly now the going rate is what it is but, if you really want em, its pretty obvious you have to pay to play however you feel you can or must. All the talk about other sneakers restocking and retroing. Remember these are technically a one off with small numbers at that. Good luck and play it smart.

Thanks 

 Yeah you're probably right about fears but JB has been retroing stuff I thought they wouldn't & if I had to bet I'd say we'd see a fear retro over a frag retro due to the collaborative nature of the latter.

Hope we never see them fears again tho

Those shoes are 

 LITERALLY

@ogretro4me  Where have you been looking?  

 

[coldcity]

iv's color blocking always turned me off to em

 

[laokratwr]

Math and logic took a serious hit on some of the comments....People need to start hitting books more instead of camping out .

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

i was laughing at that comment in general

Ah, I see.

Well, I would still sell all of my Fear's for Frag's.

[captainsneakerhead23]

Just wondering, the people who dislike the Fear 5s, have you held them in hand before or is your opinion based off of internet pics?
