 I'm glad you're enjoying them. I like the red laces too, lookin good!
 
 
So I got the away SBB's in today, here are some pics and thoughts on some of the materials. The orange leather is pretty stiff like black side panels on the 2016 banned's. The cream toebox leather is soft, somewhat in between the og SBB and the banned's toebox. I also like that it doesn't have the same glossy coating as the banned's. Tongue has less padding than the og. The og SBB definitely blow these out the water, but still nice, nonetheless.
The padding caught my attention on the Banned '16s.  They were the only 1s I purchased this year.  The padding was great on the 1s I grabbed last year (SBB 1.0s, Chicago, and UNCs).

Did all the 2016 1s have less padding than the 2015s??
 
My original point was that I'd pay $300+ for Chis, Breds, Royals, Shadows, and a few other other classic CWs for the original shape and leather that resembles something that would be used on a nice dress shoe.

Especially in place of pinnacles.

Even if Banneds came tomorrow for $290 without all the Xs you guys wouldn't cop (pretend the 16 B/reds hadn't just came out)?
I feel you there bro, ain't no way i'll buy pinnacles if I can get Chis, Breds or Blacktoes for the same amount.

I think so, since sbb and cm 1s had thick padding. It's still way better than the '13 tongues though.

Thanks bro and yes sir I'm enjoying them immensely. I had to go with the red laces like Jordan, also they make the shoe pop more. All thanks to you bro, all thanks to you!
 
Radiohead just posted a new video and Thom Yorke is wearing Jordan 1's or Nike Dunks. Anyone know what these are? My guess was Jordan 1 DMPs but they don't have a white tongue.
 
I hope it's not a Jumpman on the heels, but more than likely it is since it doesn't say "OG" :frown:

The color blocking reminds me of a pair of Half-Cabs I used to own.

Those 1's definitely need red laces in em.

Unds my banneds today! Leather already breaking in perfectly! These are gonna see a lot of action. Wish I could grab another pair for retail. All money and trade bait set aside for space jams tho. Honestly think I'd rather have a 2nd pair of banneds since I still have '09 jams in descent shape
 
idk if this is a thing already, but I put some red laces in my black yangs over the weekend, and it was lit.

im normally very anti lace swapping. seems childish, but I liked the reds in the yangs :lol:
 
Why do people sleep on the quality of the UNC's. I like the quality on these better than the 16 bred's. these are straight butter.

I will probably get a pair but would've already had them if the shade of blue was a little more pale
 
You guys think I can do a straight trade my Breds for the SBB releasing this weekend? Didn't have time to raffle and I stay catching Ls with Nike's Draw system
