And what if you strike out and are unable to cop a pair for retail? Then to top it all off, you end up buying your one and only pair on the secondary resell market.

Best not to count your chickens before they hatch or you may end up jinxing yourself.

For me, I either get the shoe or I don't. If I don't I just move on to the next release.

the leather on the cement iv retro was way better and well we all saw how many pairs were produced

and will never pay resell on retro jordans. ever.

3 pairs ? what are you a got damn spider?

unless you plan on serving in afghanistan one pair is enough

the jordan 1 is one of few jordans built to last unless that is the only pair you have in your collection

convince people? no thats my opinion. maybe you dont have alot of shoes but i do. i have so many shoes i probably wear each like twice a year if at all

i can understand if you want one extra pair to stare at like a model airplane but 3 ? naw thats just hoarding

Hey congrats on having tons of shoes!  Nah I don't have as many pairs as you guys on NT and even so, I barely wear mines either.  

But as for my opinion based on your comment, if you think people won't take the opportunity to buy more than 1 pair if possible, OK there.   Just being realistic here man....

Ima be honest here, I hope they are limited enough for a descent resale value. All I want is two pairs, so I can sell one and keep one. Since I am selling one, I will get a pair for essentially free. Sorry guys, but I would be lying if I said I want it to be a GR :/.

Ugh ... If you need it to be 'lmited' to sell a classic/staple of any sneakerheads collection then you probably suck at selling. Also the I only want to sell a pair to cover the cost of the pair I have sounds suspect like 'I I'm stripping to pay my way through med school/law school'

Definitely looking to cop three pairs and I have enough kicks to the point I barely wear each a few times in a year .... I need a pair that I am going to wear and beat to filth, a deadstock pair (in case I get invited to the White House -- cause can't wear the beat pair) and a pair to wear through rotation through out the next five years until it's retr'd again.

LOL with the white house invite.. but like that idea though.  2 pairs is good for me though.

imo, the fact they are releasing T's and other apparel to go with these suggests they will be GR

Eh....nike released Tees for the SBBs (which didn't have a GS size run). I think it just shows Nike/JB is about that BRed money -- after standing online for several hours you didn't get that pair of kicks -- here's an overpriced Tee to remind you of your Sadderday. lol. 
 
01s arriving today. Just in time. I was actually gonna make a post about the shade of red being used on the 16s and yeah the 85 OG red is darker and more similar to them. I noticed it yesterday when I was organizing my kicks. Had the 85 and 94 in hand and the 94 red is definitely brighter than the 85s. So tumbled leather, 94 mold, diagonal wings, and fat swoosh aside these are as damn close to OG as possible. No complaints, been wanting them since the jump. I'll post pics of the B/red collection once I get the 16s though, hopefully. I ain't mad though I got 85, 94, 01 pairs now. Still contemplating 13s but the 2013 releases have that narrow toebox I'd have to cop em in a 13.5.

At the current rate they will retro befor you can even wear out 1 pair.
 
No half sizes though. Don't know why UK stock is like that often.

And yes, they ship to the US.

These aren't closest to the OGs tho. Originals never had tumbled leather, and swoosh isn't thick. That was a nod to them trying to be like the Banneds more than anything. And this is like the fourth time you mention your collection we get it fam. :lol:

Just posting relevant subject matter [emoji]128517[/emoji] I didn't realize I was talking about my collection so much. Guess I'm just really proud of how it's growing.
