Technically a double up but it's really a swap of sizes. I just recently figured out im actually a 12 in 1s. A lot of my sz 13 pairs in remastered form the toebox is way too wrinkly and deformed for the amount ive worn them for so one day I ordered a dbl up of the navy metallics in a 12.5. Got em they fit perfectly comfortable then I saw my cybers ans noticed this wrinkled caved in looking part on the toebox. I went to the store abs tried a pair of remasters on in a 12 and same thing and I saw where my toes were at in the shoe. In the perfect spot. They were more ssnug than my 12.5s but as we all know with the soft leather the 1s break in and stretch pretty quickly so here I am now with all these sz 13s recopping favorites pairs in a 12-12.5. Looking for a swap with a pair of my NDS 2016 Bred 1s

I still love my 13s. A quarter of a inch will not make me love my shadows less over anything released after it. Until I get remastered shadows I will be team 13 until the end. Lol

Update:@SummerofLove Rep'd for the update. That allocation...
1. No Champs is getting these period in the Bay Area (as of now) to my knowledge. Oakridge Westfield Champs said their stores rarely carry 1's. Will check SF tomorrow during work break. Valley Fair and Eastridge are a no as well. Champs Launch Locator does not even show the shoe as an option.
2. Only FTL location confirmed getting these is Valley Fair in San Jose. Only raffling on Tuesday. No to Eastridge. SF Westfield, Serramonte in Daly City and Hillsdale San Mateo should get them as well according to launch locator.
3. Only 2 Shoe Palaces getting the the Reverse SBB. One is in San Jose and the other is in San Bruno. I can't comment on East Bay Shoe Palace but Milpitas is an outlet location so no.
4. No Finish Line is getting the SBB to my knowledge. Will check with Finish Line SF tomorrow.
5. No Sheikh in San Jose (Eastridge or Valley Fair) is getting these. I think SF (Powell) might be the only spot getting them.
6. I have no idea what boutiques are getting these.
Note: I just checked Footaction launch locator and only two locations supposedly getting them are Arden Sacramento and Fashion Fair Fresno. What a joke!
Edit: Looks like online is our only bet. Bay Area probably has a few hundred pairs for thousands of raffle entries. Online will be eaten by bots and ATC though so you might want to consider an ATC. Most are $69.99 to $75.00 so after Cali taxes, you are look at around $250.00 all in, which isn't bad and probably much cheaper than resale. $300+. Especially with how limited stock appears to be.

Anyways I wore the Gucci's today. Anybody else have these? The black leather is stuff AF but everywhere else is butter.
Also the last b&w 1's were BUTTER. What was so bad about them?

No, I'm not the biggest fan of the Pinnacles. Has nothing to do with the colorways, it has to do with the $350-$400 price tag personally. At that price tag I'm looking for more of a dress shoe or a low profile designer. Im not supporting a $300+ program when they can easily do it for $160. I personally been satisfied with what they've been giving us as far as 1s.

I like how people balk at paying 300 or more for a JB shoe but gladly pay that much for a dress shoe like it's worth the price their asking for. No shoe is worth what companies are asking for. None. Even when they go in sale a profit is still there.

I didn't say I would gladly pay for it. My point is if I'm in the market to spend $300-$400 on some shoes I'm not spending that much on some 1s retail. I would prefer spending it on a dress shoe or a low profile designer. All that has a common use of "I". Whatever "you" prefer to do with your money is on you. You made the case for why they shouldn't be $300 yourself talking about the price they are asking for.

At that price point I'm sure the dress shoes are at least made with real leather.
Exactly. It's not even questionable.

I think you need to look into different qualities of leather on dress shoes. I've said this before ( and I'm not the only one) the ' leather' on most sneakers and Jordan sneakers isn't the skin of a cow. At best its the layer under the skin 'Split leather', at worst it is 'Bonded leather' (reconstituted leather).
a pair of Churches, John Lobb, etc.., that is real leather.
As beautiful as a pair of Jordans are, don't be fooled into thinking the leather is of high grade. chemicals and whatnot make it soft.
Not trying to cause a dispute, trying to be helpful.

I never said the almighty Jordan was worth the price their charging. But don't think because you spend more on dress shoes that they are totally worth it. Once again no shoe is worth it. You think a six figure car is really worth six figures?

Are you going to wear the jersey with them? If so
Thanks. Naw, I went cheap. Problem is these China models cant ever get the look right so I may source out a M&S. Its on my alltime jersey want list and this one just doesnt cut it.
The pinstripe one holds it down though.
2x too big for you? I got a red m&n jordan jersey collecting dust in my closet
