Thanks fams.

The only pairs I have yet to wear are the Carmines and UNC's (when my size comes in from EB). The Chicagos pictured is my double.

The rest have been worn at least once.

Need in order: frags, banneds (tie), royals, black toes, sbb, NYCs, shadows and then I might be satisfied. I did get the aj5 supremes, might be able to get somebody to trade.
 
Great series....bit eerie to see the Cubs in the playoffs, especially when it was shown in back to the future that they won the world series in 2015 lol..

Gotta be their year, I'm sorry man. Reminds me a lot of my Redsox when they won it in 2004 for the first time in like 86 years. Cubs are like a 100 years since their last title. They are due haha

Stop cheering for the damn Cubs. Were drowning here
 
How does sbb leather compare to banned? Have sbb never felt banned
IMO, banneds are on another level than the SBB's.

Banneds have that Italian leather like feel and can withstand any punishment and the SBB's are soft as a baby's bottom and very delicate.

Just now getting around to posting mine. In my observation these and Chicagos are really nice but the feeling is bitter sweet because it's a shame how different these are made from the 2013 batch (royals/breds etc.). The difference in height, materials and overall craftsmanship is almost night and day in comparison to the recent 2015 releases starting with Frags. Got my royals almost looking like mids. You just know that JB/Nike will eventually have to regurgitate another Royal/Bred/Shadow release with this treatment. I don't know about y'all but I do not look forward to more hyped OG CW 1 releases but I'll feel compelled to buy if they do :smh:. Wish they would've just done all these right the first time back in 2013. It's really a damn shame.

Lastly I see a lot of people have concluded that UNCs and Chicagos are the same in terms of overall quality and for the most part they are but after careful examination I'll have to say that UNCs have slightly better overall quality. The ankle collar on UNCs are plush and soft (like lasers) while the ankle collar on Chi is that stiff/hard leather and has "no give" so to speak. That's the only difference I can see which makes the UNC have the better overall leather quality of the two. Here's mine with Chi and Royal for comparison.
