Jordan 1 Chicago - Reimagined aka Lost and Found - November 19, 2022

[URHere]

Been like this since 2020. Nike dipping out of China into vietnam and Indonesia. Those Chinese factory gotta feed their families cartels

So how are early pairs people are selling being passed as legit?

Don't they first need an authentic pair to compare?

That’s what I thought

 

[deezrsackolishus]

What cool aide am I drinking saying that few reps will pass a thorough authentication process even if they can be good enough to pass on foot? I do these comparisons live and in person.

people believe you and i gained all of our knowledge from reddit QC pics.

its comical after 21 years to still have people (some who arent even 21), still doubting the people who have helped this Nt community since before they were born or could write their name.

It doesn’t look like the TD price is gonna drop much lower…wanted to double up but 1 will do

This is why I stopped posting release info in Retro.

Rep makers won when they convinced people who buy reps and people who don’t buy reps that reps are 1:1 identical with retail.

They won when marketplaces passes fakes for thousands of dollars. Like stockx with those mars yards N those weren’t repped in large numbers

Which is why I tell folks to purchase with a CC or paypal. I shop with confidence because I know that if in the rare chance something I buy slips through and it’s fake I’ll do a charge back

Rep makers won once people said they had enough of the games Nike and retailers were playing in order to get shoes. I've never bought a pair but OG Nters I know have without second guessing. They're older and don't have time to deal with shenanigans.

 

[deezrsackolishus]

resellers are the reasons reps are what they are.

fakes used to be cheap as hell. easy to spot.

once shoes started reselling for thousands, rep makers realized with better quality, that they could make 4-5x as much.

combined that with the fact people dont wanna pay thousands for shoes, all because bamma resellers wanna make $.

so yeah. greed lol.

If fakes are made in the same factory after hours, wouldn't that mean that the fakes would be 1:1 with the real pairs?

theyre not. the build specs and material supplier lists are sold/given to the fake factories.

lots of rep factory were formerly making Nike / adidas shoes Once contract is out. They swapped to making reps

A Look at the box and paper.

I guess Nike may be calling these “Lost and Found”

 

[airthompson]

I wonder how long after until we get a Retro ‘85 version. I’m guessing within 2 years. Jordan is notorious for the double-dip.

I’m hoping it’s that soon. In for these but a proper Chicago high 85 is quadruple up territory.

Yea, these are gonna be impossible to get

 

[206to813]

Yea, these are gonna be impossible to get

Guessing the backdoor boyz and bot boyz gonna go crazy

Maybe that’ll mean the aftermarket will be flooded and resale won’t be bad

 

[Davey Magoo]

Yea, these are gonna be impossible to get

And extremely dangerous to buy on the resell.

Fakes will be everywhere.

…caveat emptor.

 

[jshortt]

Yes, I'm aware of who he is. Where he's getting the "trying to mimic the 94" I'm not sure. That toe box sure says otherwise. I don't see anything about this version that reminds me of the 94 pairs.

Taken from ig, lol what yall think

I think it’s a cool story, but once again, Jordan Brand didn’t make the shoe look like the ‘85. I’m still copping, but it’s false advertising.
