[cucumbercool]

If JB reads these threads:

Please give us the black/gold patent lows.
Those and white/metallic green lows.

Everyone will hate the black/golds until they are limited and people will pay whatever for them.

 

[biglefty23]

You guys might think I'm crazy, but I just double upped on the black/gray, black/blue and black/red lows.
These shoes look amazing with jeans and my wife actually thinks they look "more mature than most of your shoes".

My reasoning:
I've been on niketalk long enough to know when a shoe will be sought after in 10 years.
I've bought Jordan XVII's for $80 on footlocker friends n family sales in all colors, have bought Gino SB Dunks at the outlets for $24, XVIII's for $39.99, and on and on...

This shoe will be sought after, and when that day comes, I'll have a fresh pair to wear.
And no I don't buy 1 extra pair to sell down the line. I've thinned the heard and can't wait to bust my second pair of these out in 6 years.

Yep I said same thing while back they talked down. These will be highly sought after one day. I only got breds but will be coppin chis

The lows do look nice, just quality is terrible

Might as well grab em for the low

 

[acw nj]

I cant stock any of these until they change the materials. No point on hoarding pleather imo

same i bought the Royals Low only

passed on the Bred and Shadow

not until they used a real leather, just like the noveau mid, they are clearance shoes but real leather

 

[sole blessed]

Don't care about materials if I'm constantly rocking them.

Hmmm red part materials look weird

 

[Fidel_Cashflow]

Damn... Thought I was done after the Shadow's

In for a pair of Chi's...

Nice leather on the CM lows. Softer than the CM highs. This is how all the lows should have been from the beginning.

Nah, from this pic you can see the large difference in leather thickness around the toe box. Probably feel softer because it's just less material. Just don't get why they have to be so cheap on the lows.

Wow you're right. Material on the low's is thinner. I like it better than the plasticky stuff on my royals tho.

 

[mikeycorleone]

I'm on the fence now for those black lows. That white heel tab is throwing me off. Maybe if it was black with white stamp j logo or white swoosh. Hell who am i kidding I'll prob get them on disco after I pick up the shadows.

 

[wootonralph]

Wanted to complete the lows collection with the bred royal shadow chicago blacktoe lows but i guess im good with bred and royals..

 

[airgolden2123]

See, I thought that the upcoming Blk/Wht lows would have the same quality leather as all previously released OG lows. Judging by this picture, the grain looks the same:

I have bred's, royals and B&W lows. Bred's and royals are pretty much the same (not very good). The blue pleather on the royals is especially bad.

B&W's are noticeably different from the other 2. Leather is like the CM highs but like the other poster said, the lows have thinner material.

I dont understand our NT Brothers on this thread

all materials used on the lows are all the same plasticky leather

please dont let your brain play games on your eyes 

Lows are nice but materials used are garbage and not worthy of buying Retail

All of this. Royals at abundance for $80 at my local store. I gotta $20 coupon, and still waiting on another price dip.
