Air Jordan 1 Mid "New Love" - May 2017

Man I told wifey royals and low Columbia were the last kicks I'll buy for the year but I want these. I had the 2007 pack but sold them since they were too tight.

I'll just have to sneak them in and probably won't notice.
 
I really want these I got the gotta SHINE and the royals now I want theses I have plenty of yellow jerseys to go with em 110$ not bad
 
I spoke to a rep at ShoePalace and he said these look to be a Niketown-Only physical release, randomnly dropping sometime next month. Also question for the LA NTer's, the Niketown that was on Wilshire moved to the Grove right?

I knew it would be a QS
 
Wait, so these are a straight up QS?

Guess it makes sense. Not a color many people would want to pick up and wear. Very niche.

If it's randomly dropping I see no reason for it not to be a QS, I'm sure the numbers will be high but they just don't feel the need to hype it up. I agree with the niche since the BM pack was loved and hated, I'm more curious as how the box is going to look. 

Edit: nevermind its just a black box with the gold jumpman

Pics?
 
I don't think this will be a niche shoe. Seems very popular on IG as well. I think people are looking to cop as they now don't have to be bought in a pack. From what I have heard this would be planned as a normal release, not a Jordan calendar release items, but a larger release at retailers. Not sure about online yet.

LOL it's pretty niche in the sense of who likes it

1. It's a mid with Jumpman branding

2. Not an OG colorway

3. Even DS the resale for New Loves has never been high, you can get a DS pair for probably $150-175 (SZ 9.5 most common size)

4. The pack to begin with had very mixed reviews, with most people only copping for the sole reason of wearing the Blacktoes while the New Loves were unworn and resold. 

But overall 1s have became trendy which is funny, but I doubt it'll sellout.

Seems like there is a demand though, and seems pretty favorably liked on IG. I don't own any mids, have about 6 different ones, but the majority was not a mayor release either, or necessarily with huge value besides some of the more classic ones. But I like this one, and think it would make for a good beater, with it being a mid.
And at $110, that makes it favorable too. Staying on top of this one to see how and where it releases, but it will not be an official drop, they will just start showing up along the other mids from what I understand.
 
I can tolerate the jumpman on the tongue (barely). I cannot tolerate it on the heel. Too bad. I really like this colorway but wouldn't wear them if you gave them to me for free...
 
Let's be real here. This model cannot possibly be a GR or made in mass number. We will NOT see this available for the entire family either.

It's a very "loud" color scheme and the general public will not have an interest for these. Now, if you made them a QS with limited numbers, they will sell out FAST!
 
Thes Would sell like crazy as a GR(1s). They're black yellow AND $110? Two pairs would be close to regular Nike air retail

this drop is fan service. nike isnt dropping these to draw in the general public.

at the end of the day these were great back in 07 when i had them and id like to have them again. jumpman didnt bother me then and doesnt now, especially considering the fact that you couldnt by ones in this era without a jumpman

Some noob always asks why I have the black/white and shadow 1s with a jumpman. They don't understand that the jumpman was the norm post 2001-2013. You wouldnt own any of the many OGs dropped during that time if you were anti jumpman. Easiest way to spot a post 2013 sneaker buyer.

I get **** on alot for wearing my '13 Chis, but I got them for retail same with alot of other 1s in my collection. Yeah the quality wasn't the greatest, but it's still a decent shoe being one of the most iconic silhouettes, same with my '09 DMP Bulls, or Old Loves.

From several more trusted IG people, folks who are really deeply into the 1s, this will be a GR release, as the SKU was not coded to be a limited release, as we have seen with other releases. Retailers apparently are going to be able to order this in whatever quantities they please. That's what the word is, reality may prove to be different.

I don't get people's hang-ups on the jumpman honestly. Sure the original 1s had the wings, but the jumpman has been around since the Jordan 3, which is the shoe that kept Jordan with Nike. So sure, JB is going to use the jumpman logo where they feel the need to do so.
