Jordan Retro 1 OG "Carmine" - May 24, 2014

These have grown on me. I wonder why they not getting much play though. I'm sure boys would be hunting for these in the future.
Exactly! The 1's grew on me too. Not much action because everyones butt hurt over those icy soles. I personally hope they lemonade. Also, everyone wants those 6's.  Even though the 6's a GR  they will still be hard to get. People will want the 1's eventually. It takes time to grow on them. 
 
Did some ps work below for some red & white lace Swaps. Diggin the red.

Below gives an idea of what  the 1's icy gum sole may look like after years of wear and oxidation. 

Here are some examples from Jordans ed. 1

I like clear sole, icy blue soles, and aging lemonade soles. Just depends on the shoe for me I guess. Im sure a lot hate it. lol

Got my ticket for these and not the carmine 6. Kind of a bummer. Still going to try my hand at the 6's. Cant hurt. FCFS amigos. 
 
also anyone looking to cop these... it looks like eastbay is taking phone orders on the carmine 1s..... it should actually be easy since focus will be online for 6s
 
Successful on NDC for the first time in ages for these in my size. Perhaps my newly acquired 1GBPS Internet assisted. No bot, manual add to cart, had the Picture check, added to cart almost instantly. Checking out was another story.. took about 20 minutes to get past the final order submission process, probably due to the flood of Carmine 6 orders being attempted.
 
just copped...had to go through countless captchas...multiple attempts in different browsers...finally got to checkout on mobile... NDC crashed hard!

Same here.  Was trying to get the 6's as well but got cart jacked on NDC and JJ.

  At least I got the 1's though!
 
the consolation prize instead of the sixes

Shame these dropped the same day - everyone already branding them poor mans carmines....

Yup. A few dudes at the mall copped these when the 6's sold out. I really don't even see a point to that, unless you're like me and actually like these, spending money on a shoe you really don't like because you couldn't cop a different one. May as well just take that $140 and put it towards a pair of 6's on ebay or facebook.
 
I actually like these. I went ahead an doubled up on these. It wasn't cause I didn't get the 6s, either. I doubled up on those as well.
 
^ I like em to but im not taking the shame wearin them having dickheads pose with the 6s making it look like I didnt get a piair....
 
NDC wouldn't take my $50 GC when checking out.  "Error...card had already been redeemed".  I called them up and they said they would apply the GC.  Then I get this email.  Call them back then they inform me that the GC could ONLY be applied during check out!!!.  Because it was a gift card from Nike to me otherwise a regular gift card could be applied...!  WTH! Utter BS!

O well I still got my Carmines but at regular price...Although they did give me a 10% discount on my next purchase.  And the GC is still good until the 31st.

I don't care what anyone says or thinks. I've got myself a nice little collection that keeps getting better with every release. If someone thinks I couldn't afford them, so be it. They can think whatever they want. I liked all 3 Js that came out today, and this was one of my favorites.
 
I snagged both pairs today, VI's were RSVP and the Nike Town had a FCFS for the I's and to be honest, I'm thinking about selling the VI's and rocking the crap out of the 1's...

I love the NA 1's and these are perfect shoes for summer/fall and the quality is quite good...

to each his own.
 
Surely this one sit at my local Shiekh, saw this in person, tried on, and decided to pass because it crease so easy.  Definitely close to bad crease like Barons imo.  Retro 1s lover beware.
