I also thought I would share some comparison pics of the OG Jordan 1 Black/Red, 2001 Black/Red, 2012 Chicago, 2013 Black Toe and 2015 Chicago.

The 2012 Chicago is horrible quality compared to the 2015 retro. The 2015 Chicago is better quality than recent OG Jordan 1s (can't compare to Black/Gold as don't have). It is also cut higher and the leather is much softer. Also the tongue is thicker and the tongue has foam in it for the laces to go through like the OG:smokin Another minor thing is that the Nike Air tonge tag is thicker and better quality than the recent OG Jordan 1s. All these little things are nice touches.

3/4 raffles entered.  Two in Northwood Mall (JJ and FA) and one in Citadel Mall (FA).  They had a JJ in Citadel Mall but they said they were not doing the raffle until Wednesday (Shady).  Entered a raffle in Northwood's JJ so why would Citadel JJ do their raffle on Wednesday?

I thought the same thing yesterday. Tomorrow it is.

So I just got back from my local Villa in Allentown, PA.  Waited for 10 hours at the store to be first in line for when they opened up at 11AM. Only to be told that they only got select sizes.  I go up to the clerk and tell him I want a ticket for a 10.5.  His response, "We don't have a 10.5."  I'm like what do you mean you don't have a 10.5"  He said we only got select sizes.  I say how about a size 10.  He says nope. Didn't get that size either.  Walked out with nothing.  Better believe I'll be in contact with corporate about crooked Villa.  Some messed up  S***!!!

Villas didn't get full size runs. I'm not saying that guy didn't back door some, but I know for a fact that Villas (that were selected to receive these) got 12 pairs allocated in the system but the deliveries only had 8 pairs. The store manager that I'm cool with told me that this happens sometimes and it's usually for hyped releases when villa is holding pairs for new villa openings/refreshes. It actually happens for every release, but no one notices on he bigger releases.

4 Villas in Philly got them. 2 of the four had 8 pairs, neither was a full size run. One had nothing smaller than 9.5. The other had nothing bigger than 11.5.
 
It has probably been stated already in the last 35 pages that popped up since the last time I was in this thread, but these will be hard to get. I'm usually more of a "purist" when it comes to kicks...eff bots, atc, preorders, paying off employees, etc. This release is different. All rules are off. If you guys really want these, do what you gotta do. Don't let that footlocker locator fool you. It appears that they will be plentiful...they will not be.

I am not trying to cop these (1s aren't my thing, LOL), but they surely aren't plentiful. Last week, between my two malls in Baton Rouge, a total of 9 stores were carrying the Bred 11 lows. For this shoe, only 1 store is carrying them, and the manager says in very limited quantity.

Given the demand and supply ratio, this will be an extremely hard cop unless you have a hook-up of some kind.

Too late for some, but do you guys mind tagging your pickups? Would hate to see people trying to resell pairs, but using other peoples images taken from the internet.

That's a bit OD, don't you think?

I'm not gonna take the time to tag my pics in an effort to stop resellers. There's tons of images they can get off the net anyway

Can we say these will be as limited as the Breds and Royals, or maybe even the Fragments?

Sorry, I wasn't collecting during when the Breds and Royals dropped.
 
I was gonna enter raffles yesterday but my Sunday nite didn't end until about 6am Monday LOL so no raffles for me. Online or custom for me [emoji]128514[/emoji]

They are going to be normal NA 1 numbers. Breds, Royals, shadows, blacktoes, black/white, barons, these Chicago's.. All pretty much the same amount of pairs made. Fragments are a collab and are much more limited than any of those

Royals were way more limited than the other OG colorways. Most of the allocation was overseas

You missed raffle ticket pics and us all having tales of woe that almost every location got about a size run minus employee pairs.
