Sucks JB killed this model, Royals were GOATed and they never even dropped in the US smh

I can't unsee this description now lol

Congrats, looks like I was VERY wrong about this lol

Yeah I mean I don't doubt you can get deals nowadays but my point was regarding increased retail pricing and lowering standards even further than they were before (which wasn't even great to begin with as was pointed out ITT). I just don't see the justification for $185 retail GR OG AJ 1 Highs...

I agree buying stuff because it looks good but there are limits to how bad the quality can get while they increase retail prices for the same product. Wouldn't you at least agree with me on this? It's basically Nike's version of shrinkflation lol

Then you would agree that non-SB and QS Dunk quality has fallen off a cliff. Panda dunks have some of the worst materials I've seen in ANY modern sneakers, for example, and they charge $100+ retail for them. It's horrible. They increased the retail price of GR Dunks, flooded the market, and as...

Wow, you absolutely hit the nail on the head here. I know for a fact there have been people at the company who steered the ship in the wrong direction the past half decade or so. Some of those people are gone but those remaining have their work cut out for them to course correct. To your...

Yep, it's lowkey hilarious how they killed the model by flooding the market and ensured basically none of the GR OG High releases move anywhere near retail now because of low perceived value lol They also basically completely killed hype for the model to the point where only limited collabs...

Between these and those awful "Spring is in the Air" 3s, whomever is designing these GR retros seriously needs to be fired... Where do they even find these people? AI honestly could do a better job designing these type of cws.

Is it me or has JB's quality of GRs significantly dropped off recently? It was never great to begin with but it seems worse than 2 years ago.

Tbf the price of almost everything has gone up significantly since 2013. That said, also to tbf, these should have been on par materials quality wise as 2013s, which they don't seem to be.

Tbf you could say that about most recent JB GRs Crazy because they charged $220 retail for these 4s as well.

2025 85 Royal lows

Royals have a thicker leather that breaks in very nicely and maintains its form. Have been wearing mine a ton over the past year and change, really excellent release and wish I had doubled up when resale prices bottomed out (since Nike/JB stupidly never released them here in the US).
