Air Jordan 1 OG NRG High "homage to home" - April 19, 2018

Also, if you change your size anytime after you entered, it basically puts you behind everyone that entered and never changed their size. So for all the folks that can’t make up their mind on the size, they probabaly rarely hit on limited releases.

Where did you get this logic?

 

[brian blades]

When you entered is the only thing that matters. (Outside of getting the full 10 minute head start)

If you entered right when they came up and have the full 10, the only way you won’t get them is if employees took all the sizes.

Employees get 20% of all stock for every release no matter what and could potentially clean out an entire size depending on what they chose.

I don’t think this is true. My brother and I both enetered at FTA for shadows with 7min headstarts. Both waitlisted. He was upgraded before me. I had my entry in a good day and half ahead of him.

youre talking shadows. Again, it has to do with availability. You can’t compare a shoe that released at every store vs a shoe that releases at 1.

So they change how the app works for limited releases? Ok

 

[huskercats]

Out of 2300 pairs how many will be size 13. Do they make the same or produce more in the smaller sizes. I figured if it’s even it’s like 164 pair per size

Y’all picked the same exact stores AND the same exact size?

 

[mamba23]

Dropped 750 on a size 12, fell in love with the Scarface forces, never could have em as a kid. People just do not understand.

It's literally random. All 10 minutes have the same chance whether you have $0 or $30k spent. A Platinum VIP is a Platinum VIP.

Yes. We wear the same size and there’s only 2 FTAs in our state.

Nah from Chicago
Grew up on the northwest side

 

[126006]

Nah from Chicago

Oh ok - well congrats man, let’s get your honest opinion

 

[rooster]

Much nicer in person
I don’t have chi or bred
Now I guess I have both on one pair lol
They will probably look really weird on feet imo
The leather is pretty plush and soft on the bred side panels but not on the chi side panels
Toebox is soft and heel collar is butter
The tongue isn’t your normal 1 tongue
It’s much thicker and has more padding
Plus it’s also taller
Overall I’m pretty excited to have these

 

[OneNightDan]

Congrats rooster dope pick up!
You’re one of the good dudes on NT, I’m glad you got them.
I always wanted a numbered pair of J’s, would be dope to have it in my collection, I know no one would know but the fact only so many were made would be

 

[rooster]

Thanks Dan
The only other numbered pair I have is the wings 1
So far 2018 has been great for the rooster

My brother locked me down a 10.5. What a great birthday gift

These mean a lot to me since I’m from
Chicago and I live out of state now

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

what you mean 'no one there'? what was the process it took for you to get yours, reserved?

I hit on the FTA app reserve
Got there right after 9
No one in line
They already had my name tag on the box
They knew I was coming
Walked right up to the counter
They checked my phone grabbed my size
Walked to the cashier and checked out
Actually it was less than 5 min
Probably like 3-4 min

 

[redraider806]

Interesting that these are up on SNKRS a month before release. Bred Toes, Royals, and Shadows were only up about a week beforehand. Why build hype so soon, if numbers are going to be less?

I hear even with he unnumbered pairs on SNKRS is going to be limited to 20k-25k which is still VERY limited
both the numbered and unnumbered pairs are gonna go for crazy prices later down the line...i only say that because im thinking about copping while resell is decent
