dope collection.... nice to see someone else scooped the lows :smokin




Black leather on Frags definitely looks better then shatters. Maybe just the lighting

It's not just the lighting. Frag black leather is much nicer than the black panels on the shatters. However, personally i like the orange and white feel/texture of the shatters more than the frag white and blue panels.

It's personal preference so im not going to claim "better". The shatter white and orange panels are very grainy, soft and thicker cut. I really like them alot. The black leather panels just feel like the standard cheap jb leather but overall quality is fantastic.

If i could offer jb some criticism:

- tongue tag should have been black with orange writing.
- black leather should have been better
- toe box should have been less bulky like frags and chicagos (yes there is a difference at least on my pair). The leather cut is higher on thhe black toe cap for shatters and the to box has a more angular side profile similar to banneds but i actually prefer the low profile toe box like frag and chicago.

Overall very good shoe glad to have them and looking for another.

Can't believe SM Nike is letting unclaimed Pairs go to the Public

I asked the MGR their and hes words were exactly " Per Nike we are sending all Unclaimed Pairs back to Corporate" 


and then they changed it up!

:{

How do you know this? Source of info?
 
babyjs23 babyjs23 Congrats on the pair. I'm sure that was a long journey for the pick up.... but worth it. Nice comparo too. That sail vs. white is noticeable when next to each other. Alone, the sail looks white on the computer. Rep'd

Thanks fam.

It was a long trip that I wasn't ready for, apparently. Still stimulating the spine as we speak :(

The white on the SBB's are definitely close to an egg shell white compared to the white on the Chi's. Black laces only, for sure, unless I can find some of my old white laces that I've worn and washed to see if they have discolored to an off white to match the SBB's [emoji]128077[/emoji]
 
Any idea how many pairs NTNY has in stock. Word around the campfire is NT Mercer had its inventory sent to NTNY.

Thinking 500 pairs, give or take.

Anyone know?
 
So many DS shoe props to those on feet shots.

Want UNC's but i doubt I'll be able to get a pear.

Edit:

Wore these to drown my sorrows for Sadderday lol
700

No clue on inventory numbers buy I'm glad 21M didn't sell these. Them shady aaaholes. Good that NTNY got all of the inventory.
 
Man, looking at these pics of '85 and '94 Breds only has me wondering when we get a retro with the right color red...

That dark red on the '13 pair is NOT right. Wouldn't be suprised if Jordan pulls the same shtick with them within the next few years.

"We didn't give you the right retro in '13. Here it is in '16." For the breds, just like we got for the chicagos.
 
Yeah white after Labor Day is a fashion don't, plus NTers love to do matchy matchy anyways

just my style I won't get to wear them all winter. It snows here and white kicks and snow/salt equals yellow Jordans I hate yellow/off white kicks in the summer. I just wonder why Jordan doesn't release white based kick in spring/summer after black/solid color based kicks in fall/Winter season.

Or you could just wear your kicks you get by season
 
I have been able to purchase almost any AJ 1 for retail or a decent after market price but for some reason I can not find a pair of Gym Red AJ 1 for a decent price. Guess all the size 8.5-9 are spoken for :(
 
I'm still trying to unds shoes from 2012 let alone pushing recently acquired pairs to the front. My only exception is if it's nike basketball release I will wear immediately to a month. I have no beef with ds shoe pictures because it's someone else shoe.
