Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro "Metallic Red" - The Aftermath - NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING

cobrab19 said:
The mass majority of people obviously dont like them or didn't justify the $160 retail price. Me myself I love them. Absolutely no reason why they should stop making them because you think they aren't profiting off them. Remember the original AJ1 hit sales racks as well, do U hink they should have never released the AJ1?

You realize the OG AJ 1 actually sold really well right? Much like Kyries (which are selling well) they made so many pairs that a lot inevitably hit sales racks in 1986.

I don't know why people like you still believe this myth of the AJ 1 sales tanking in the 80s. Early Nike projections in 1985 were 100k pairs but the actual projections were soon moved to 3-4 MILLION when Nike realized how well AJ 1s were selling.

Where did you get this logic from? They released non-OG metallics in 2009, which sold poorly and many people thought it was a wrap but here we are in 2017 with multiple OG metallic retros.

So how do u know personally navys didn't sell as well? Do u know how many they sold/produced? No. It's one thing to not buy a shoe because it hits sales racks but your suggesting they not make the shoe at all :lol:. As if they aren't profiting a ton.
So your telling me they made 3 or 4 million air Jordan 1s in 1985? That's crazy if so

I read the whole article, which was a nice trip down memory lane, but nowhere in the article did it state 3 or 4 million AJ1s were produced :lol:
 
I hope they keep releasing the metallic series. I'm a completionist and I love the clean minimal look of the shoe that looks better the more you wear them. I heard Nike makes their money regardless if a shoe sells out or not. The store that receives the sneakers has to push em out to make a profit. At least that's what I took from all the information I've attained since I been in the forums.

lol come on dog you know you dont believe that especially the way nike been retroing **** every 4 years
 
only people who collect 1's were after the OG metallic CW's, also the sub par quality JB puts on these retros doesn't help. they'll be at nike outlets in no time 
 
I honestly have a feeling that 1s may be going in the vault. After they close out this rwmaster trend. Than it'll be some years before they release them again.

Idk man, but the fact that these are so top tier I don't see how they can do any better or offer more to the table. Not with as much volume as they're putting out now per month. Seems like every month and a half there's a new 1 coming out. I just plan on flourishing and copping while the gettings good.
 
Jordan retros sell themselves all of the time. Most of the time when I go see a show that sat for months, it's only size 10,13-15. They sell guys.

People are so caught up in hype now it's annoying
 
Mine finally arrived...flawless...LOVE EM!! great quality! Just curious tho
..

I have all the og remastered 1s and maybe I just got an odd pair or maybe they were all made this way but the toe box on my navy's when I mash down its super soft and flexible...none of my others feel that way...is yalls navy's like that??

There's no way they're going to stop making garbage Franken 1s like the Mids.. those cost like $2 to make.

So will we ever see JB drop the retro 4+ blue speckle that was supposed to be after 25 years of waiting?
