Fragment Design x Retro 1 High OG - Dec 27, 2014

I must say, a lot of you guys (mainly owners of the BWs) try hard to make them more than they are IMO. Aside from the fact that they are an OG cw, black/whites are the more lack luster of the OG bunch and don't hold nearly as much significance as the breds regardless of supposed quality they have. If breds "sat" in 85' then the black/whites must've "rotted" on shelves

. I mean, let's be honest. They (BWs) are dope and quality looks great but let's not start fronting on breds quality like they're trash.

To me all the 2013 OG NA 1s equally had great quality for JB standards today. All this talk of royals and breds being of bad quality or even not having great quality for what they worth is laughable. IMO it's really 2013 Royals>>> all 1s that came after in regards to quality and craftsmanship, materials used etc., hands down though. Lol I don't what y'all talking about lol.

Cot damn, thank you!! Having bw, breds, royal, I honestly do not see a difference. I feel like most owners of bw trying to hype it up cause they sat on shelves and probably available in some stores if you look hard enough. People these days aren't happy with their shoes unless it's sold out.

[The shape of the fragments reminisces of the '94 retro, but why would they try to resemble the '94 instead of the OG model? A lot of that could be due to the ergonomics; maybe they did replicate the OG shape and it didn't yield towards the overall comfort of the shoe.

85s and 94s aee very similar. Visible differences are the slimmer Nike swoosh and the non curved midsole on the 1994. I find it weird they'd put the 85esqe swoosh on the OG lows and kept it on yhe KOs, but not the highs. Im sure it's cuz people wouldn't be fond of it.

The toe box and ankle collar on the Frags is def closer 85s. The 94s had a rolled toe cap and round looped ankle circumference that was thick and padded.

why do people always feel entitled to shoes ? Acting like someone can't buy em because they don't know the "significance".

Imagine walking into Starbucks and they tell you that you can't have a cup of coffee because you don't understand the significance of the coffee grounds and the hot water. [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]

Top 3 dumbest arguments, right up there with real sneakerheads do/have ________, and the I watched jordan play argument

Sorry for the rant back to the frags, how do nikelab releases go ?

Luckily it is only Jordan heads that spew that nonsensical trash.

According to that logic Jordan Brand should make less and less money every year catering to a market and forgo the 80% of the revenues they get from younger generations. When I hear that argument I laugh, cuz it's a joke. Elitism in shoes? WTF? :smh:

Man if Nike stores aren't getting them, then hopes for HOH is low.

Has any shoe released like that? Where Nike does a lab release and then sends em to other chain retailers?

I think we have better hopes of the boutique shops list getting larger.

You bringing up an entirely different shoe than the 3 we were discussing. I never said bw wasn't good quality, i said i don't see any difference with the ones you think are horrible. Read man.
 
Now you guys are making me wish I went for the LMs. Passed cuz I couldnt **** with mismatched shoes. They shouldve made the white ones breds and the black ones royals or vice versa. I wouldve copped either pair I could get my hands on had they not been mismatched.
