Jordan Retro 1 High "Shattered Backboard"

it's sad to say, but that $400 dude paid to preorder a guaranteed pair could likely end up being a steal with the way things have gone as of late. aesthetically speaking, these will be up there with the dopest NA 1s to release imo...

Maybe I don't like kicks enough, but $400 will never be a steal for any shoe for me.

Hoping for Fam Forever type release.

This would be great. Limited but available to those who wanted them.
 
there is a theme to this shoe "SB" and it is a "NA" 1...

classic black toe colorblocking with a twist (colored toe cap)...

looks to have the remastered mold and quality ala frags...

widely unpopular color (orange)...


cmon guys, there's no possible way these are a gr. we can all hope, but let's be realistic here. don't forget this is nike we're talking about. it's sad to say, but that $400 dude paid to preorder a guaranteed pair could likely end up being a steal with the way things have gone as of late. aesthetically speaking, these will be up there with the dopest NA 1s to release imo...

Didn't want to take any chances to be honest

If these do end up being like Frags and DSMs peeps in this thread are going to be kicking themselves in the a%$ for sleeping on pre orders. Honestly seems like preorders are the only way to do limited AJ1 releases now a days. People only got lucky with DSMs because they weren't released on NDC. If these are limited to NDC were all screwed. Not only that, but once sold info comes out and they appear limited preorder prices are going to skyrocket just like frags. I went wih my gut on this one. If Im wrong, I can care less. I'll be cookin on the chl drop
 
I have no problems on preorders if it's at what the market value will most likely be at.

Secure your pair. Try on release day for retail. If you grab, sell your preorder to get your money back. If you fail, your pair is secured
 
im good if im wrong and these end up being like frags
noway these are worth 400
retail or bust

May not be worth it to you

But may be worth it to many

Hopefully everyone can scoop for retail though

Having to pay 2x retail for every aj1 release is getting really old

Exactly man

If I'm wrong it's a sub $200 bust

$400 included PayPal fee and shipping
 
im really glad i don't have the "gotta have em" attitude on shoes

Same here fam

I honesty just drop money on 1s to complete my collection and sell everything else to the beasts. The extra $$ I'll make for selling Chi's and bred 11 lows will pay for more than just my pre orders
 
wheres the preorders at

Waiting for concrete information on these. I'd love to have these.

I think I'm gonna want everything that uses that mold though.

there lies the problem though man

people are becoming complacent with buying shoes over retail

and in your case you're okay with it because you can re-coup it by reselling pairs later on

but some people don't do this or don't have the luxury of just reselling to make their money back

it's cyclical...it is what it is, but this is not how buying should be

all good though. i'm bout to call it quits after the chi release

this **** just ain't fun anymore

I agree with every word in this post

I could personally adapt or complain though and complaining doesn't get me the releases I desire

:lol:

It is what it is though
