Reason I ask is I saw a few people on that other site saying the quality is better than 01's, I'm thinking that's outlandish.

I hate when dude's pull that ebay card in order to justify their price. If I'm selling something on NT, we doesn't charge me ANYTHING, you better believe my price is going to be a lot better than ebay.

Honestly, the quality on these Banned 1's are much better than the 2001's.
The leather is more supple than the 2001's. Coming with 3 laces is also a huge plus. I also like the fact that the nike check/swoosh is leather and not buck. My 2001's check/swoosh has faded due to the material not being leather.
The only aspect of the 2001's that I like more than these is that there's nothing on the heel - true to OG. Like I have said, I could've done without the X on the back of these banned pairs.
People that are hating that they didn't get a pair should be hating because this was a QUALITY shoe released by JB...and as many of you know (or will eventually find out), is that QUALITY and JB haven't been coinciding over the past 8 years.

the quality is like night and day
this shoe is made of REAL LEATHER not the cheap crap like so many releases from the past 10 years
dont want to go and dig up my 2001's but the materials on these banned are on point compared to the black/red from years back

Imo these are better...quality wise. I own 2 pairs of 2001 breds and 2 pairs of Royals and did the comparison. Doesn't mean ppl should discard the 2001's tho. No jumpman and no gimmicks ftw
The only "flaw" this shoe has is the X. The tumbled leather is really amazing in person

Thanks again for the heads up on everything btw.Originally Posted by mr2cool80
Well said ...... you definitely held it down for NT while in that line but ..technically you were not alone cause you and my COUSIN got the info off of NT cause I told him about it. But all jokes aside, this "release" may go down as one of the craziest ones in JB history. When was the last time, if ever did this happen? I simply cannot remember and I'm 31 years old! I agree with you 100% about how they handled it. They essentially left it up to 19-22 year old employees on how to "release" a shoe that wasn't supposed to exist to thousands of people across the country. And then had the nerve to insinuate that we the people of NT are to blame? haaawow!. Anyway, Just my thoughts ....
The entire thing from start to finish has been bizarre. As I said earlier in this thread, I give a ton of credit to the Sawgrass store for their professionalism and manner in which they handled the release this morning. It was a pleasant and completely stress-free buying experience, and the staff were all very accommodating.
That being said, it doesn't excuse the actions of the outlet employees nationwide over the past week. The gerrymandering of the stock combined with not providing phone orders with those not within distance. The rudeness, the lying, some of the stories I've already read in this thread today about assisting in bullying and reselling. Security not assisting a patron who's being threatened? Unacceptable. I'm an older cat, and if someone's pulling something like that on a line for sneakers with me, you better believe there are going to be serious consequences if the store managers don't do anything in terms of providing assistance in a situation like that. I'm not about to fight someone over a pair of sneakers, line-cutter or not, and I certainly don't expect to be put in a position where I'd have to courtesy of the company I'm buying from. Lying about stock? Unacceptable. All of us on here spend a ton of money on Nikes every year. We're their best customers. At the very least we deserve an honest answer when asking if a shoe is in stock. If the company can't do anything to correct issues like this in the future, they should stick with the regular way of releasing, because the worst that happens with companies like Eastbay or Finishline is a canceled order or damaged box. From a customer's standpoint, issues like these are completely unacceptable, and if they can't fix them accordingly then this should just be a one and done thing for Nike.

^^ im feeling the same way man. woke up at 5am ready to go to jersey gardens and ended up going back to sleep.
for one reason or another i didn't want to go, granted i do own the dmp black/red ones, but from what I'm reading/seeing,
these are FAR superior to those. it also didn't help that people in this thread were posting that jersey gardens wasn't getting them, that didn't help and was obviously not true...

^ can't believe everything you read on the net. I was wondering why one outlet in my area (so cali/Cabazon outlet) wasn't even being mentioned. So I just decided to find out for myself, and drove out there and bam people were lined up.

I will say tho. People be careful on wearing this in the rain.
The feel of the leather, you can tell it won't do so FRESH PRINCE with it.

I'll say this.
The outlet I went to had 12's, 13's, and 14's left when I left. And I was last.
I can go back tomorrow and let you know if that's still accurate.

That's what I was thinking. We'll see if we can work out a "fair" price. If, not...it wasn't meant for me.

What y'all need to realize is, the leather used on these banned 1s, isn't the same as the 01s, 94s and even the 85s.
The leather is supposed to be synthetic.... These banned 1s are made up of distressed leather.
Doesn't mean that the quality is terrible, not at all... Just saying, the majority of ppl AUTOMATICALLY think that distress leather is better, just b/c it looks rich in texture...
The pairs that you see that are from '85, they're for sure gonna look distressed in certain parts of the shoe (due to age) but it should be looking like synthetic (if just made/straight outta the factory)
