Jordan Retro 1 OG Royal returns April 1 2017

In store, footsites will be bot city, and snkrs is a crapshoot, if you have a shop in town to cop do that i feel.

Based on my past experience with hyped releases, if we even get them in- store, my chances are way better online :lol: never hit on hyped raffles. Hopefully once they finally get the apps I'll have a chance
 
They could be from different factories, as Nike does not own the factories, but rather contracts them to produce what they want. They give specifications for the products, but with something as how the laces are bagged, that is minutia in terms of the whole production, so yes different factories could have different lace bagging procedures. 

Side Note, only on NT will one find a 10 page debate on lace bagging procedures.

Going to drive all around for raffles this time around just like I did for banned/breds hoping to hit for just 1 pair.. 2 would be nice
 
Sketchers tryna be like Nike though :nerd: as is adidas, UA, etc. Nike is very good at what they have done. When you have an almost monopoly like market share its only a matter of time before other companies begin to chip away at that.. I dont need the hype to enjoy their products, let another brand have at afaic.

Sure, Nike will sell millions of pairs of Roshes and Air Monarchs that none of us will wear. Our problem is that Nike/JB have no problem releasing cws of Retros that few people want-which end up sitting and going on discount, but they won't release enough of pairs of cws that people actually want.
 
^I agree with u to a degree it is miniscule.

With so many putting their faith in unauthorized pre/resellers, all discrepancies should be pointed out.

would def be cool if they tried to meet demand on these Royals on 4/1. Would much rather they be one of the models that sits on a shelf and got disco'd :smokin

Also, let's not forget that if the factories ARE bagging these some different way, IT IS A COMPLETELY NEW THING FOR 1s.
 
12 more days until we all know the verdict on the laces and lace bags :wink:

Hopefully there will be a lot of success posts [emoji]128591[/emoji][emoji]127996[/emoji]

I know I'm gonna be salty if I strike out on retail.
 
Any chance on these becoming "trash" in some people's eyes if they really are mass produced, or are they immune to such nonsense like 11s.

I remember what happened to the Royalty 4s.

I freaking hope so, but I highly doubt it. Hypebeasts love 1's.
 
If sole supremacy has those rolled laces I'm gunna go ahead and say they are legit. We will see tho

Happened in the space jam thread, some dude didn't want them anymore or was glad he passed because he saw too many people with them. :lol:

Maybe they made so many pairs the normal lace rolling machine couldn't keep up so they threw some on the spinner :nerd: :rofl:
