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

[rhinosport]

Yo congrats to everyone that scored.

This...
Also, to the super confident folks in the Chi thread. The ones that were so sure of landing pairs.. Or even 1, only to strike out.

My local said that they would have pairs for sale today.

Call last night to confirm and the employee said he check eBay and bought up all the extra pairs

I guess he was honest I guess

People calm down with the trying to pay resell for chi's. They'll restock

sounds oh so familiar, then the prices jump. Dont rely on NDC to fluctuate the market. The best time to jump wouldve been after release when folks were letting em go for 260-300.

 

[shenggg]

debating whether to spend 500 and say **** it. or wait till NDC drops, the release reeally ****** me over, he said he got me then he refunds, i found a few ok price yesterday but didnt buy because i thought he could come thru. i guess not.

So I bought 2 pairs of the Knicks 1 and I realize 1 pair, the insole is different than the other...but they are both the same shoes....any reason why?

Let me clarify: Pair "A" has the apple insoles and Pair "B" has the regular jumpman logo insole...

are the production dates on the inside tag the same period? I don't have them but a buddy has a pair wich has the big apple insole.

i dont understand people, especially the ones that seem to have been around on all of the 1 releases.

Its de ja vu every single time.

Damn. That's messed up. If I was you, I would wait it out. I can't imagine them going higher than that after NDC releases.

sorry to hear man.

If you really want these, just go and get it on ebay. Tough price, but maybe sit some other releases out instead. We tend to get caught up in buying some releases that you don't absolutely need. Sit a couple out and go after a dope shoe. Thats what i do and how i justify paying resell on shoes I really want.

Don't listen to the people who say these will come down and settle. There's no basis with that opinion. No OG1 ever settles.

Only if you really want the shoe Shenggg.

The nike.com release is not going to affect the prices whatsoever. Lucky/appreciative to be able to score 3 pair. Especially finding out the amount they had in my city. Don't have to post pics of my Cool Grey IV's in here anymore either lol

Someone local came through with a 250 Pre order for the Chicagos.. 1s collection pretty much complete.  I can't believe the prices people are paying for these Chicagos. When the black and golds dropped I was able to cop for 400, and the guy was begging me to buy his other pair.

Fb groups are your best bet right now folks. Anywhere from 300-400 here in the DMV. High IMO but better than eBay. Good luck to all.

Was able to secure my pair plus 5 extra pairs for NTers and fam via raffles and guaranteed tix. Gotta know how to play the probabilities and work relationships. #PixzaPartyBoyz

yeah thats my concern. i know they wont settle, ill just bite the bullet and buy a pair now, and hope to grab another pair when NDC drops.

I don't know why i don't like dealing with FB groups. I feel like its just a bunch of F bois there.

i swear people in china has everything to do with the price being this high, before nike tweeted out news, these were already at 500 for preorders in china. then its straight comedy now, your lucky if you can find a pair for 700-800, thats why you see asians trying to backdoor all the stores. the worst part is most people dont even know how to spell michael jordan or what number he wore.

Harsh. Go to timeout or go get some fresh air. Stay alert. You might land a oop.

 

[casper90403]

i think Shennng is Chinese, so he probably speaking the truth, somewhat.
