A lot of people paid resell but won't admit it

I paid resell. Am I supposed to be ashamed?

 

[dblplay1212]

I copped 3 pairs of 100s at retail and ooped 2 of them to guys from here.

Who'd want to? I got burned on the zebra Yeezy paying resale. **** happens, you move on, but don't wanna keep hearing about it. It's a lesson learned.

 

[Leetroy Jenkins]

For the 100s to have been so limited at the time of release there sure are a lot of people in here with them.

100 Reds were heavily slept on in Toronto. Was an easy retail cop. Overall, it was a relatively easy in-store cop. Once the limited stock word got out, that's when all hell broke loose.

 

[pilbondin]

Not sure if this has been shared yet

Ugh. I was hoping for a Saturday release. No hope for me on a weekday, unless these sit until the evening.

No way you can sneak away at the drop for 2 minutes to try for them?

 

[nonheinous]

My 100s were from Kith online. Due in part because I don't think -as- many people were paying attention there as they were elsewhere at the start. After that, it was continuous whiffing for the rest of Air Max Month (Royals, Atmos, and Master).

Edit: Also possibly benefitted from the fact that they didn't drop right on the hour there.

SNKRS is really hit or miss for me, but, of course, I'll try my luck there.

Got a mini pin wheel going after my 103s came in today. I haven't been this excited about a shoe pick up in a while.

That pic solidies how nice the OGs are... makes the pinnacles both look like nothing

Quality on the pins is much better but it's hard to beat the og red colorway.

 

[cumma]

Jades definitely one of my fav CWs! But OGs are OGs.
A little bit like comparing apples and oranges.

 

[boogii]

Too hopeful that the AM1s hit NDC? Got a bday coupon to use (already have my pair from stockx...thinkin of dbling up)

I usually have a hard time deviating from OG colorways on shoes like these but the Jades are something else. If they re-released 5 years from now I would buy them again because 1. these will probably be beat and 2. because the colorway is just that good.

Even if they hit NDC most new drops are excluded.

Sometimes if you call after you place your order the CS rep will honor it.

 

[3god]

Jades are overrated in here. I ordered a pair, and sent them back. Great leather though.

 

[cumma]

I'm happy I've doubled up on them. Fantastic quality, leather, CW...

is it just me or the 103's shape different from the 100's, it seems the 100's have the OG vibe.

 

[salacious crumb]

Wonder if AM1 Anniversary reds drop at Nike town locations as well? We damn well know they didn't back in March.

Do they drop on the 26th? No wonder I don't see them yet on SNKRS.

 

[jking0821]

Good to know...sept 26th it is

 

[hnguy4]

yeah, the shape is slightly different.

If you're an avid collector of AM1s, slight shape/detail difference is noticeable. Hence why a number of people here are saying 100 > 103.
Most people won't notice or care though. Wearing my 103s right now as we speak! 100s are sitting on ice for special occasions.

 

[Leetroy Jenkins]

Are those the old PU midsoles or foam? If foam, you may be able to get some wear out of them.

The midsole is still firm. My main concern is the deflated bubble. Absolutely zero heel support.

Really? I found it tough to find my size (11) around the city after striking out on nike.ca (sold out within a couple mins of release at 3am ) on release date. IMO these had a decent amount of hype behind them, maybe in part due to that Air Max bus that was touring the city.
