2013 blk/reds or banneds?

Debating to get rid of my 2013s and replace them with banneds (if I can find them at a decent price lol). Curious to hear your opinions. Never owned banneds, couldn't really tell too much of the quality since they were wrapped, but from pictures they seem to be on another level. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
They are definitely on another level in terms of quality. They are also a bit more rare.

Some purist would still say not to trade 2013s though. 2013 is closer to OG shape etc without all the "banned" details

I'd say get the Banneds and keep the 2013 Breds. So you can keep the banneds on ice and only rock it a select few times, while still having the option to rock Bred's (2013) on other days. I think the Banneds and 01 Breds have the same shape (no?), height looks about the same and the toe box has more of a OG look to it. Of course Banned leather is out of this world compared to any AJ1.

No need for Banneds when you have breds brotha

my banned 1's have been on ice and will be on ice since i copped 2013's

i was already wearing my 01's and still havent broken out the 2013's. 

2013's do have a higher cut than banneds/01's

you can never have too many black/reds though
 
the height is not so much of a factor to me, it's the boxy toe boxes on recent 1's. Thats why I lean towards 94's,01's, and Banneds more than the 2013.

That's the reason I stayed away from those as I found them uncomfortable. Like not wearable uncomfortable. Everybody's foot is different but since 2012 I think the 1 toebox went through major improvements..

If that's the case, I'd scoop 2 pairs of 2013s for the price of 1 pair of Banneds. Banneds were honestly pointless to me. I had 3 pairs and the all day in my closet while I rocked my 2013s. I'm sure the same goes for a lot of people who own them. Haven't seen anyone with banned beaters yet. Def a great shoe to add to the collection but my boy exo is trying to wear this pair. Being that he only has 1 pair of breds, no way I'd let go for Banneds.

Don't do it exo

:lol
 
Alright, I have '01s, Banneds, and '13s plus the KOs and lows in the B/Red colorway and without a doubt the banned is my favorite


Here's some comparison pics between the '13s and banneds. Notice they have the same height but the banneds are much more padded and the tongue on the banneds is incredible

What's a reasonable price for a broken in(worn) pair of Breds, looking to go after another pair , but it's so hard for me to wear DS/NDS kicks, would I ever be able to find a legit pair for around 300 or even less?
 
Banneds are great in person. My boy has a beat pair

The X on the heel kills them though
i love the X though, best way to distinguish regular breds and Banneds. Though unless you're wearing it to a sneaker event, average joes will think you have regular breds or custom breds or even fake breds.

bballmarkie, repped for the pics. Didn't know they were the same height. Think I might hold off on getting 01 breds, and look for Banneds. In the meantime I still have my 2013 breds to wear and backup DMP's, though I will let DMP go once I get banneds. 
 
any frag lead to a size 10US around 800$ shipped gonna bite it online. someone got the AUS link and it's sold out already 

thank you in advance, @GetemChavez

my not so trinity but my favorite 1's - bred is pretty beat up, shadow is still BN worn once and BW is next to beatting up as well
 
That's the beauty of 1's though. You can "beat them up" but they still look great ^
