Quick question guys, how do you all buy DS jordans? I'd go broke if I tried to buy some og breds. Lol.

They actually do have fakes but like you said alp alp , they are very obvious.
Yea I would think they would be, not easy to replicate the aging of a thirty year old sneaker.

How much are DS knick 1s right now?sz 9.5 if it matters.
I actually came across OG black white fakes that dunksrnice posted somewhere here in this forum since i was doing research on the OGs i bought a while back. Those ones where scary close to the real pairs.the only giveaway that they were fake were the padded sockliner. Eveything else was spot on to the real pairs.
were they advertised as ds or something? How would they be able to replicate the aging on them?

They have fakes from 1985 that could still be circulating
 
 
they're still pretty reasonable, probably in the $225 neighborhood, give or take.
Hmmm I wonder If I should scoop up my local boutique is selling for retail.thanks!

I read somewhere that they were already making fakes back then. I found @dunksrnice post. here are some pictures. 

Chicago pair are authentic for comparison

If you do not have an OG for comparison, you really wouldnt know what a authentic pair looks like. good thing when I bought my pair, dank customs was able to legit my pair on IG and everything checked out ok.
 
Ok makes sense, although why they made fakes back in 85 is surprising, jordan wasn't nearly what it is now
 
The padding on the inside shouldn't exist anymore it should be crunchy by now but OGs were supposed to have inside the collar some padding that has dried up in 30 years
 
Repped still missing these 8o


$160 DS 8o congrats!


@niketalk33 $160 for DS?! :eek

Congrats on the pick up fam. :hat

Can't get much better than that @niketalk33! :smokin
One of my favorite ones. You won't be disappointed!


Such an underrated AJ 1 it's not even funny. :Nthat


Congrats, I'm salty tho :lol






Appreciate it fellas! Jus curious, anyone ever look at the small "R" on the bottom of their shoes? Noticed the shape is different on this pair. All my pairs of 1s have the R shape in the first picture . Never seen a pair with the R shApe ofthe second pic. Not been nit picky, just wondering lol.

If I had royals..... I'd throw on the laces onto my knicks too :lol

Nice pickup @niketalk33, these knicks don't get enough love, one of my favorite pairs of 1s :smokin

He means, what other OG 1's are coming after the CMs. Wants to see some more CWs and get past this Monday
Kinda my thinking too. The CMs are nice and all, but I can't get down with an all white midsole and outsole. Really wish JB would re release some 1's like the New Loves or the DMP Celtics, but with the OG high treatment and Nike Air. I'd buy both in a second.
 
Just sent a payment of $325 shipped for a DS pair of Chi 1s. Was it a good deal or i should have waited? IMO, it's one of the better deals i've seen since RD, but what y'all think?

It's the lower end of the current market. Sounds like you were happy spending $325, good deal in my book.

Not sure what size you wear but IMO is a good deal.

Look good with the royal laces. The R is probably just typical "quality control".
