I remember a few years back, a dude walked into the jcrew i worked at with the 01s on. I fell in love, only a few weeks away
 
Really miss that high top cut of the originals. every newer 1 release looks more and more hunched over.
 
Gosh I can't wait! Counting down the days for these bad boys. I would love to have two pairs so I can keep a pair fresh for a couple years before breaking them out, but I'll be lucky and happy just to get one! These >> NA WC III's IMO.
 
One of the most recent pics, besides the one Sir Charles posted a few pages back.

We've seen this one already, but to shift the discussion back to the SNEAKERS, here it is again.

Based on the pics posted by AirThompson, looks like the overall shape is close to original, or at least last retro.

:smokin

i'm trying so hard to pass but they look perfect
 
When I wear my 01's I can't stop looking down, something about the black laces on the black tongue with that pop of Royal Blue. I will be grabbing multiples, been stocking up on trade bait.
 
Lets keep the discussion about the Royals... plz & thnx

Lets get this back on track, with pics of past releases. Hopefully pics surface in the upcoming days to quit the unnecessary talk.

'85 Blk/Royals
View media item 240664Fellow NT'er So Much Sole pair, not sure if he still has em. The original black and royal blue 1's featured a parachute tongue, white insole with a blue Nike Air text, thick vandal-esqe midsole, with a wide toe box, & a complete leather upper.

I Was Sitting Here Syphening Thru All The BS And Youngster Talk In This Thread When BAM! This Picture Slapped Me In The Face.... Had To Do A Double Take Before I Realized It Was Indeed My Pair.... At First I Was Like "I Know This Dude Didn't Jack My Pic!" But In Reading On Realized Your Intentions In Posting My Shot :nthat:

*Repped My Friend!

And To Answer Your Question/Statement, I Do Indeed Still Own This Pair Of Royal OG's Along With Another I Wear And The Complete '85 Windbreaker Jumpsuit 8) Fellow Member RLTryce Or As I Know Him "Kalvin" Knows First Hand How Dear To My Heart That Practically DS Pair Is To Me :lol: I Was Truly Happy To See Him Land A Pair Of His Own Recently And Immediately Clean Them Up Proper And Hit The Streets With Them :nthat:


*Anyhow, Back To The Shadows I Go.... I'm Too Damn Old To Be Participating In The Circus This "New NT" Has Turned Into :smh:

Man, these are beautiful. I hope some stores by me get these; I prefer copping my kicks in person (although I am 1/1 for online orders lol).
 
This is an amazing sneaker. In recent years the hype for these release has been getting out of hand. Kids that dont even know anything behind the history of these sneaker are clogging up store lines and online servers. This is a grail pair for me and i hope im able to get my hands on a pair. At least they dont have a nick name, maybe the beast wont pay attention to this release. :rolleyes

You gotta understand that a lot of people buy the shoes because they like it. I do agree that the releases have been wayyyyy out of had. I believe it's more of a resellers fault than anything. At least the kids you're talking about will wear the shoes cuz it "looks cool," while resellers jack up the price. But no hate on my side. If I get a shoe I want then I'm happy, and if I don't, ain't nothing. I'll keep it moving. At the end of the day, they're just shoes.
 
For one of the few times, based on that pic on the last page, a shoe still looks extremely HOT with the extra set of laces in! That pic with blue laces still looks so ****** nice!! I think these are popular too because they are an actual OG CW that has no relation to your usual Chicago bulls blk/wht/red CW's of almost every OG Jordan (almost...), so it's original but doesn't have that Bulls influence if you don't prefer the Bulls or prefer to wear different colors with an OG. I was thinking I wanted to get 2 pair of these, but I actually don't mind the worn look my pair will have in 2-3 years. But my god, the feeling of that fresh out the box new pair in 5 yrs is like heaven hahaha! Anyway I really hope all of us in here get our pairs. Other than the bickering about boy bands, these are a shoe that it seems the old and new heads can meet in the middle on. I want to look down and see these on my feet something BAD!
 
If I have these on one foot and banned 1's on the other don't talk to me that day, I'll be in big head mode

The blue laces do like nice, but I gotta keep it factory with the black ones.

I believe they look their best with black laces.

:smokin
 
The hype is gonna happen people. As it gets closer to the release more and more people will talk about em. I saw this little kid with some thunder IV's on and an Adidas shirt...lord please don't let the beasts harm these shoes
