I'm not big on burgundy, so that takes them down a notch for me

Other than that, dope sneaker. I'd have cream or white laces though.
 
Love burgundy
Had high hopes for the burgundy 1s we’re getting but those are a big swing and miss

I think similar to the 3s, these are easy to overlook at first but they’re actually dope af
 
Best AJ1 collab

Managed to hit Snipes manually on electro 1s on RD for the wifey. But struck out for myself.

But when they came in. . . The hunt was on for my pair. On Wednesday, Shoe Palace had a restock on them. But that $27 shipping sucks. I would rather hit on a SNKRS restock, or footsites restock.
Oh well, bit the bullet and paid that shipping.

Luckily for me, that $27 shipping is equated to next day delivery. So it’s not too bad.

Came in yesterday.

I like the type of leather used on the white panels. Nice, thick, softer leather.

What really hurts me the most. . .
I had an EA, but didn’t know it. No notifications. Logged into my work iPad and saw it. . . .

Yeah the 3s are honestly one of the best retro+ Jordans I’ve ever seen.
Nah those are weak. Very disappointing considering the 3s are arguably SOTY.
Nah, not even close to being SOTY or one of the best retro+ colorways imo. The 3's are cool but these 1's are definitely better and will be copped for sure.
 
The 3s are better. That’s not really even debatable at this point. Could these 1s overcome that? Potentially. But it’s just not likely. Regardless, these are instantly a top 3-5 Jordan 1 collab. Both Union 1s are definitely ahead of them, and maybe Frags? Maybe OW Chicago’s? Mmmm losing interest in OW as a whole. I could see this pair standing stronger in the test of time from a visual perspective. Of course, resale value wise, never. These seem more timeless in their natural Jordan 1 design, as opposed to the entirely revamped OW look. They’ll never touch either Union 1 though. That is set in stone.

Man I generally like both of these releases and I’m happy I was able to get both for essentially retail +$10~$20 on the resale market but I’d be lying if I said Nike/JB weren’t trolling us with cws like this by making them way too close to what we want (BT colorblocking) but different enough that we’d still buy the colorblocking we want of these releases in the future... Also, I find it hilarious how the white panels are better quality on one release (electro orange) and the black panels/swoosh are better on the other (volt golds).

Be careful-someone tried to trade their REP off white 4s to me,(User-phedy22) and they failed Tradeblock’s inspection. Seems to be some scummy mofos trying to be shady, trying to trade their reps for authentic pairs, so be cautious.
That offer also seems too good to be true, so I’d definitely pass if it were my decision.
Damn glad they caught that. Did you have to pay for shipping back to you and did they refund your fees?

Tradeblock refunded my fees and shipped back for free. Glad they caught it but that user has a lot of other stuff up that I suspect is fake too. Seeing as how rumor has circulated about how spot on REP trophy rooms are, I wouldn’t take chances with trading my off white UNCs for those.
