How would you guys rank these 2017 pair compared to the 01 and 13 pairs? I have it 2017>2001>2013. I was wondering because the 2001s and 2013 are worth about $500-$900, compared to the 2017s at $250-$300. I know the value on the 2017s aren't as high due to it being mass produced, but the 2017s are much closer to the OGs IMO besides the tumbled leather.

Those were worth that.
Predecessors tend to go back down when a new retro releases.
 
that quality stuff is so close that i cant really determine if there is a difference between a lot of these shoes to be honest :lol

Here are pics of the pair I sent back. Like I said I paid way more than retail and there were sellers who listed pics of pairs in better shape so I thought this pair should have been listed as well with noted defects-
 
Same quality. And to whoever disagrees you're full of crap. The black leather is the same on both...and the Royal leather is the same as the sail and orange leather on the SBB.
I would probably give the edge to RSBB because I feel like the orange parts are a bit stronger than the black parts on the royal. 

Royal has tumbled toes/ankle side panel/heel ---- and the same ole' Jordan black plastic **** everywhere else

RSBB  has SBB leather on toes and side panels (where the swoosh is) and slightly stronger Jordan orange plastic **** everywhere else. 

I"m giving the nod to RSBB for quality. Definitely not for looks.... got the RSBB local for 2 bills and just couldn't justify wearing those Orange things. resold them for some + $$

personally i don't care about leather inconsistencies... bc real leather will always give you that stuff. Just the nature of the cow. 

for me these are deal breakers (and I have had these happen before):

1. Different shoe heights........... hate hate hate hate this ********. 

2. Different colors. Don't know why but Jordan can't get the color right on the Breds and Royals for all pairs.... if they crimsonReds or DarkRoyals ... i pass that **** on. 
 
satins are ugly and their only appeal is that they're limited

frags are suuuuuuper overrated and their limitedness is like 90% of their appeal (other 10% being that they were the first remastered aj1 iirc, and that some people just genuinely like the color-blocking; i personally couldn't care less)
