If they made more pairs, most people in this thread would ***** that they did so, and end up not copping. People wanted Aquas, they made a ton, they sat. Bring back NA on the 3/4/5/6s. They did, they gave us a ton of pairs, and pretty damn good quality. People complained that they sat. Nike's damned if they do and damned if they don't. Produce a ton and they're no longer "cool" and the yeezys/ub jumped over the jumpman. Produce at a level that will create demand and they're jerks who won't give us enough pairs.

Chicago's weren't no GR stop that nonsense
Chicagos were a full GR with the exception off Nike.com not having their pairs on release day. What's your false info to prove that they were NOT a GR OG 1??

Full GR= family sizing, small regional stores carrying them, and multiple upon multiple size runs . Chicagos were not a full GR

There is a lot of truth to this but it seemed, for the WC4 and Fly Game release at least, they made enough pairs. It seems like they also have perfected holiday 11 releases-put in a little legwork and you'll be okay. The Banned 1 release was L central, to be honest.

We're Chicagos not a available in GS sizes? I'm certain they were as I bought a pair. And I CLEARLY SAID GR OG 1. A 1 GR is NOT EVER on the same levels as other Retros and I'm almost certain you being a MOD knows this.

What the hell does that even mean? An OG 1 GR. Since the remastered all 1s aside the backboards had the same volume. General release means just that, available in wide quantity in sizes infant-adult. Were Chicago's available in toddler & infant? Thats why phrases like limited GR is an oxymoron and makes zero sense. Its either a GR or limited.

An OG 1 (Nike air on tongue/no JUMPMAN on the back/non KO). And NO CHICAGOS WERE NOT IN TODDLER OR INFANT SIZES. 1s with NIKE AIR on the tongue haven't released in toddler and infant sizes in the past 10years. Again this goes to further what I said that OG air Jordan 1s on a GR scale is NOT THE SAME AS OTHER NUMBERED RETROS.
 
Examples of a GR 1 (Nike air on tongue)
Black and whites, Chicagos, 2016 banned 1s
Every OG color way of these 1s going back to last year has been a GR in terms of 1s. Banneds went the added step by now being available in champs sports which the other two were not.

Examples of a non GR 1( Nike air on tongue)
Frags, DSM, Pinnacles
 
the 2013 version were going for $800 before the rumor came out that they would be released again...

fair price now?

$500?
$450?
$400?

You're not grasping my point. Everything you said, I get. Nothing new. You're comparing things that don't equate to the topic at hand. My point is all OG 1s are limited quantity. Yeah on some releases there are more than others, but that still doesn't change the fact. I'll leave it at that.

I doubt they were actually moving for 8. Im sure 5-600 was the moving rate. Now they're at 400-450 going on average DS.

I COMPLETELY AGREE that all Nike air 1s are in limited quantity when comparing them to other Retros, I've already stated that.
Dont compare 1s and you can throw 2s in there also with other retro releases. THE NUMBERS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LESS, going back to 2000 and probably before that.

And what's your false info to prove they were a GR everyone besides you knows they weren't

He gave you the guidelines of what a general release is. The blk/whts were not a gr. Starting with Chicagos they bumped up allotment per store and the amounts of stores. The allocations favored the states to. No OG 1 has ever been a gr.

Yeah they def dont move at that 800. I got lucky catching that early summer. Either way i sold off 2 of 5 after the breds announced and at this point am gonna hold my rock and stock. 3rd is trade bait for an LM pair or something but these would be a tough sell for that range. Especially if the release mimics breds. Those recent numbers make the 2013 release look like a chase for the golden ticket.

The Royals are my favorite 1. I was lucky enough to get both the 2001 and 2013 pairs. If these get the remastered treatment with SBB leather, I'll be trying to get at least 2-3 just to wear/beat forever.
