Official Air Jordan I Retro BLACK/ROYAL Thread FEB 2013

[apthekid]

For those that have these, the Chicago, and the Knicks (if anyone)...Let's talk...

I did the "feel" test last night on these, the Knicks, and the Banned (I don't have the Bulls). It's tough because my Banned aren't DS, but my Knicks and Royals are. Plus, the Banned is a distressed leather, the Knicks and Royals are smooth. BUT, it did appear that the leather on the Royals and Knicks were similar. The Royals seemed to be a LITTLE softer and when you press on the shoe, the Royals crease in a very different manner than the Knicks...it's tough for me to explain and I should have used pictures to illustrate, but the way that they creased when you press on the shoe, gave me the impression that the Royals are of a softer grade than Knicks.

Truthfully, I could just be gassing myself and subconciously seeing something that isn't there, which is why I'm asking the NT community.

As for the Bulls...that is a much stiffer leather alltogether, correct? I had 2 pair of the bulls and sold them both because I have an itch that they will rerelease soon with the "NA" branding

Also, anyone rock out with the blue laces?? Pics? Yes, I could just do it myself, but I'd rather see it on someone who would rock with the royal laces.

That is all.

Damn this thread blew up FAST...car bomb style.

Just in case anyone wants to see what they look like with the blue laces. They look good both ways, I'm gonna stick with blue though. It makes them pop more IMO.

Tried on the mobile site and it doesnt pop up

I agree with you that the Royals are definitely softer than the Knicks. The Bulls are much harder type of leather, or pleather so to speak.

The Royals are obviously not Banned quality but they do seem much softer and the precreases are what you want to see versus no crease of the Bulls. They will certainly age very well in my opinion.

had to settle for the dunks, couldnt justify $300.00 for some 1's even though it is mad tempting. $45.00 for some dunks is easier on my pockets.

I haven't heard anything from the Italian site I ordered from. starting to get nervous... those who ordered from Italy did your orders ship out yet? I ordered from back-door.anyone else order from them?

class made me miss restock 

 

[chr1s2394]

Restock was I think around 6 a.m...thats the time i woke up and BANG they're were the sizes !

 

[geraldg2309]

Checked last night around 11. Fnl site has been up but I don't think sizes actually got up

 

[chr1s2394]

Anyone know exact time they went...i saw a guy on here that put up the link this morning big shouts to him !

 

[jrovira91]

The restock was at almost 9 am et, very few sizes, not a real restock but cancelled orders

 

[dirtysanchez7]

Checked last night around 11. Fnl site has been up but I don't think sizes actually got up

Idk I think so bc I've seen people screenshot the sizes that were up. Something like 7.5,10.5,11.5 and 13 I think. But who knows!

 

[jrovira91]

replace the 10.5 with 12, and you are correct.

 

[chr1s2394]

You guys think this might happen again ?
