OFFICIAL AIR FORCE ONE THREAD!!!!!

[sneakaprince]

I feel like a like a lot of the classic retros don't appeal to the current sneaker market.

I thought 3M snakes would never sit and months later they can be had for retail or under. Hong Kong's, acorns, purple highs and even a couple others sat or could be had with relative ease.

Those grey joints being a mid makes it even less likely they sell for much over retail (initially). I think the last mid that did really well might've been the Flaxs.

Collabs sell like hot cakes, but classics are less sought after for whatever reason. I actually paid resell for my kith linens years ago and I don't think I paid more than like 220.

I used to be sure hype was coming back to the AF1 but it didn't happen after Purple Highs, didn't happen after any of the Cocoa Snakes, didn't happen with Taiwan's, or 05 Easters, I could go on...

Every now and then there's a moderately hyped pair that surprises me in terms of difficulty (it's usually a Collab), but most of the time AF1s are a cakewalk compared to other more hyped models.

Speaking of Flax's. Which is the best to get? Think I may finally snag a pair this year.

 

[steebie j]

NBY and UNDFTD came in. Not really feeling the NBY tho

 

[94feet]

These are Secks bruh. U got it right

 

[WhatItDoBroski]

My pair showed up right as I was leaving for work. I got a feeling they're going back once I get a chance the look at them so I did one more to replace it JIC.

Midnight release here in Australia.

Nike Clearance Center/Outlet usually houses them. We have one near me and I see them all the time for $59.99.

If they get returned to a regular store they are priced as marked.

Inspired by Fieg x Clarks Kildare Salmon Toe. I don't care for the Clark but love the CW. These are OK, but I think they're going back and I'll cop the Avatars I just made.

These are dope, I think they look a lot better than the Avatar mockup.

Yesterday-

Today- 09’ goodies. I don't think I've worn these since 2012. I prefer this version with the leather midsole also.

 

[nuclear1990]

So buy ID, return to outlet, send someone in to rebuy for you next day on disco?

You gotta beat the employees now. Half are there working because they love Nike and the other half the discount and to resell.

Are the Turtles sitting anywhere online ? Nobody posting about them, didn’t really see anything in here leading up either… kinda surprised they sold out but i guess everything does

Just wait - they will be available again. Limited SNKRS drop to boost hype. Same game they tried playing with the crafts, acorns, etc...

This.

I don't know of a non collab AF1 that hit snkrs this year that didn't show back up except the Popcorns

I think a lot of this has to do with nostalgia for us. We remember the first time around when these dropped and how crazy it was - the new wave of new heads were not there for that or understand the importance these once had. It's strange to me too, but I am happy in a way? Easy to grab these. Just give me the georgetown atmos with the lime green insole and Im set. Let the new generation pay resell for shoes that would have been sold at Journeys...

 

[vinnuendo]

I'm still happy with my discounted hong kongs. They're great all-year beaters.

Im gonna sit on them until saturday and see how I feel then. The wife likes em and wants to make a pair for herself. If she does that, they're most definitely going back. lol
