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

[jinkazama]

80% of the ross finds are troll posts, its too easy to fake to be taken seriously.
No different from outlet pics where dudes take shoes off their feet and take pics.

True; but I've scored some heat in Ross and Marshall's over the years

 

[Bert.]

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that Ross find is a lie

 

[wootonralph]

 
could be fake but I think I've seen pics of DB 4'S people found at ross

yup. db4s at ross months ago and tuxedo 11s. black toes for the last 2 weeks (i found and bought them), some shadows too. airmax 90 infrared OGs and others

From a fellow NT'er.

 

[isniker]

at least don't use a charity shoe

 

[solefed]

I don't think that the particular shoe has to not sell in order for them to be sent to Ross but be defective or have some sort of flaw instead. 

 

[solefed]

Today's wear to hold me over until my black LMs arrive...

Repped!



I was finally able to double up on BT's from the outlet release but still haven't found Highlight Reels at a cheap enough price for me to attempt a tongue swap lol

Thanks, wish I had known these would be restocking at outlets before I went looking for a 2nd pair to do this swap... Would have been the perfect pair to swap tongues on.

Didn't even realize these released as b-grades....

Managed to find someone on the bay letting them go for $180 shipped...which I'm totally fine paying....

Snagged the hawks off of eBay for $70 shipped and just want the red sails and family denims to quell the 1 hunt for a couple months...

If JB uses their "remastering" of shoes in the spring and every NA pair of 1's comes in banned leather quality, I"ll happily pay $150-$160 MSRP

Any word on what kinda release those FF are?

HoH here didn't get em yet? Y'all think I could get a pair for LM on a trade or .....?

uh im gonna go out on a limb and say NO

doesnt seem like too many people like them. they could probably go up in value in a few years tho if they are limited and they grow on people which i think they might.

just compare the FF and LM thread

 

[young dr0]

So I should be good then? Im trading LM.

Presh zy

 

[young dr0]

just compare the FF and LM tbread

I mean this thread is all Highs and this one kinda just popped up on me.

And LM the whole Bred / Royal allure. I need these tho.

 

[isniker]

if you have the LM someone would do it for sure, I think the FF might sit

to me the FF just looks so "MJ". the quote, insole, carolina blue(even tho i would prefer a diff color) & yeah the denim

but makes sense for Pops day

& too bad it wasn't the whole shoe, the leather used is the best i've seen in the recent NA 1s (maybe the Perfect 1s but how many has those)

 

[Bert.]

Presh zy

ill do that trade with you

 

[hadowajp]

I would do that trade as well if your an 11.5 or 12

Isn't the remaster price 250 on 1's

 

[Bert.]

no... they havent even annonced any 1's

and how would the price jump up 40%

 

[j23app]

Curious, what are people's thoughts on the following trade:

Tiff Dunk High <> Black Lance Mountain

 

[Junok]

I say do it!

 

[hadowajp]

no... they havent even annonced any 1's

and how would the price jump up 40%

That was the rumor and did you not read anything regarding the new models they will now be charging a "premium" price for retros

 

[Gordonson]

A 10-15% markup was specifically mentioned in those interviews you're telling him to read, so unless you're saying that estimate is full of **** (which it most likely is), him reading wouldn't make a 40%(EDIT: I don't feel like doing the math, but that's way more than a 40% increase ) increase any more logical of a rumor than it is now.

 

[Bert.]

That was the rumor and did you not read anything regarding the new models they will now be charging a "premium" price for retros

its 10-15% in increase. how does that equal $110 increase? almost double the price of the shoe originally?

 

[mart da god]

Isn't the remaster price 250 on 1's

we just watched speculation turn into a rumor

That was the rumor and did you not read anything regarding the new models they will now be charging a "premium" price for retros

clearly you didn't read

 

[hadowajp]

Well I guess I was confusing different source articles and sneaker models. I can't see 15% even being a premium price. so 1's going to 165 going to justify a 50% greater cost in raw materials? if it does indeed cost $17 to produce a 1 out of pleather now say it were to cost 25-30 dollars to actually make a quality leather shoe.

I actually don't see them making the shoes any better and still charging a "premium" price I mean why would they everything sells out as it is just raise the price until you find the point where they're considered not worth it any more
