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

 
That's actually the reason I AM getting them. I don't like powder blu and these being more of a sky blue convinced me to get them. I know the originals were this color, and not the "true" unc blue. 

vs 

I wouldn't be surprised if back then  UNC would not allow their color to be used by Nike, so they had to use a different shade. 
 Shades of the Tarheel Blue has subtly changed over the decades. It was never about Nike using the color; also, the color  is Pantone 542 (aka Carolina blue)
 
ogretro4me ogretro4me I wasn't able to cart my size for a while but it finally went through after 10 minutes or so. What size were you trying to get?
 
Local

HOH - 35 pairs - Men

JJ - 12 pairs - Men / 7 pairs - GS

DTLR - 15 pairs - Men / 7 pairs - GS

I should hit a 2nd pair at HOH but the assistant manager was acting shady already, also JJ telling people they don't know if they are getting them but I do. I'm sure the manager sweating trying to figure out which one of her friends to hold the 7Y for. Should be able to get a pair with homework. Unless there's a good sunny day around here, these are staying on ice till spring.

My local city gear that is my low key 1s spot is getting these fcfs on Saturday. Best news I got in a week
 
So cal heads, south coast hoh is doing FCFS now. Sucks because I prefer the raffle route. I have better things to do than camp out Saturday morning. Looks like online or bust again.

According to Foot Locker's Launch Locator, stores are apparently allowed to change their listed ticketing procedures in accordance with mall management directives and/or security issues. Though stores in SoCal are doing FCFS days prior to the release. So the assumption is that these stores are backdooring these shoes. If I'm taking time out of my day to obtain raffle tickets, they should continue to distribute the tickets. IF and only IF there are problems on release day, I would have no problem with Foot Locker working with mall/security in changing their release procedure that day.
 



DJ Delz's review pretty much solidified to me why the hype isn't as high as most other AJ1s..............is the light blue on this AJ1 really not the pure UNC carolina blue?!  Is that why people aren't warming up to these?


Nope. JB hasn't used 'Carolina Blue' since the uni trademarked the color hence Pantone blues, powder blues and the like....folks are lukewarm because it's a staid colorblocking without a true contrasting color.
 
 
they are sitting at $285 with delivery on the 10th.

IDK where you are seeing these pre-orders selling.

If anyone wants to pay that, its on them.
Nope and it also depends on the sizes. Facebook groups, twitter, etc. Most of these where in hand all ready.....obviously the $285 and $300 ones. Also very rare with this shoe a size 12 or 13 is going to sell for $285 at this point but small sizes would. Like I said before imo these can be obtain for retail. Unless you are busy Saturday morning, no reason to pay resell at the moment.

Entering some raffles today

My girl willing to pay for my pair too so might double up
 
willie mcfly22 willie mcfly22 How much did you drop? I don't think the 11's should be a problem. 1's have always been worse than 11's for me since 2013. It's like I can manage to get my pair and secure a few of the 11's for friends. As for the 1's, I'm lucky if I get a pair or a double.
