I have paid attention to this thread from day 1. Had a plan for drop day, but at the firehouse, your time, is not always, your time. Tried to hit SNKRS on mobile, but didn't. By the time I got to a desktop everything is bogged down and gone. Worked the next 24hrs running calls. Tied up coaching 10-12 year olds Monday-Wednesday 3pm-7pm, missed the eastbay and all the other opportunities, only to read about them after getting the day wrapped up and kids to bed around 10pm. Maybe people forget that some of us who actually grew up with these "OG" AJ1, and watched Jordan's career from start to finish (including his baseball career) on small fuzzy TVS with rabbit ears and poor reception, are now in our late 30s and 40s, and have families, kids, and careers that take up a good portion of our time. It's all good though, and always entertaining. I just had to defend the few of us who didn't pay attention to this thread and missed out. You may now comence with the salty "old guy" jokes and continue to elaborate on the multiple pairs "everyone copped".

Just call Eastbay tomorrow and perhaps the rep will show mercy and allow you to order a pair that they have in the warehouse .

Come on man. Feel for this guy a bit. It's a different ball game. I'm 26 from the age of lining up. Physical lines with fights and weaseling your way into malls after hours etc. even I have had a rough time adapting to this digital age with bots and so forth. So I feel for buddy. It's really kids behind computers controlling the game now. Can't do anything but change with the tide. But I can sympathize with him.

Hard not to know these were dropping though. Can understand how to not know about getting a pair but can't understand missing the release.


And Buddy can always buy a cheap resale pair. If they're worth the memories go for it dude.
 
I feel for him too 

I had to work and couldn't pick up some of my raffle wins

I tried at a bunch of sites online n didn't hit 

but paying attention to NT is Very helpful 

more so with this shoe then others

all i'm saying 

continue on

Still hunting for a pair. Apparently, only one store released Men's sizes here in the Philippines. They only raffled 100 pairs - 17 on my size.

 shooting for any size from 10-11.
 
Man I wanna bust mine out tomorrow but there's a 40% chance of light snow
If it was 20-25% then it would of been a go
 
The more and more I look at my SNKRS pair, the more lazy this release was. I was excited for these because I was expecting banned 1s (2016) but I'm pretty disappointed. I feel like Nike sold me fakes haha. Anyone else have these problems?

Baggy Nike Air tag overlaps from the back so the back lettering faces the front.
Nike Air insole faces both directions (SNKRs photos show NA insole facing different directions / my banned 1s are different direction too).
Short wide shoe tree (9-9.5 instead of the right 8.5-10 insole like my other 1s).
Laces just thrown in the bag.

Yeah these look as though production was rushed, last pair I've seen that looked as that happened that were higher profile were the black OVO 10s, in my opinion.

1st off props to all the work w/ the kids & being a fireman, but I'm around buddy's age and copped my pair by getting on it from the second I saw they were planning a release.. I didn't even know the exact date when I started working on copping these! We all gotta work j's ain't free (I work 12 hr shifts), but thats life. I hope dude is able to scoop up a pair but one piece of advice I'll give to anyone is please don't wait to the day of to cop!!!!! Peace & god bless (p.s. following this thread had nothing to do w/copping I just enjoy talking to like minded people/sneakerheads)

Yeah. I dropped by Nike Park Glorietta yesterday, all I see are GS pairs. I asked the sales personnel there and told me that Nike Park BGC released Men's sizes. I don't know if he's telling the truth, but there was no announcement with regards to that. Anyway, is it going to be released in Singapore? Any idea if  it will be released through raffles or will it be FCFS?
 
Nike Air tag on the tongue with the backside lettering rolling to the front is nothing new on Jordan 1's. I've come across a few pairs with tags like that. 
 
prelude2elude prelude2elude I've seen pairs in here with 2 different shade of blue and WAY different tumbled leather for each shoe... I really dont know whatvto say about your pair lol... but dang man 2 different shoe trees and the NA sole is messed up too... Nike QC is hella lacking!
