Went in on the banneds this release, triple up 1st time ever. Last pair from call in restock came in a bag but the box was ok. Colorwise 2013 is better but the 2016 feels much better on foot out of the box. BT was the hardest for me since 15+ was UK only. Neither SBB or RSBB were in resale price range so nary an orange 1 shall I beat, meh. Kentucky will be last 1 cop of the year for me...

I waited 4 hours in line for the bred 1s.. and couldnt get my size.. so i sold em at a very nice profit. Didnt wanna deal with size swap,fakes,flakes.. now i had a chance to pay 130 out of pocket.. so i got them. They are nice.. but to me.. the black toe was one of the best releases this year. Quality wise and colorway. But thats just me.. how do ypu guys clean ypur bred 1s? I jus lightly cleaned mine with a jason markk wipe, and it took the red paint off.. and how i love the dark red..
Haven't cleaned any part of the pair im wearing yet and the could use it :rollin Haven't worn the BT yet, need a black tongue..
 
I just give my midsoles and soles a wipe after every wear. i love to keep the midsole white.
 
IMO, Q-tip/cotton ball and rubbing alcohol is the best to use on the midsoles for the kind of dirt that sticks and can't be removed by water.

This will only work for WHITE midsoles and the outsoles but beware in using alcohol on the uppers as it will remove the paint on materials other than rubber outsoles/midsoles.

Bought  too many kicks in 2016, but locking down the bred & black toe 1's were definitely my highlights this year. Even more than scoring Yeezy's @ retail, despite that feeling like winning the lottery.

Would still like to add 1 or 2 pairs of SBB 2.0's to the collection, but not as serious as copping Royals in '17.
Definitely feel you on Bred's being a highlight despite copping Yeezy's @ retail.

I got much more satisfaction from copping my Bred's during the random restock that happened in Toronto than copping the latest B/W off ADC (a first!).

I'm kind of glad that the shadows aren't retroing 2017 since I copped a resell pair at a decent clip earlier this year (I just had too - they're my grails!)

Good for you. Getting my Breds @ retail is the only thing that would have made it better. I was completely shut out that day and ended up having to pay resell. The black toes were a nice unexpected drop from JB, and luckily copped them at retail. 

Congrats on getting those Shadows. I'm sorta glad they aren't dropping in '17. Just for the fact that I need whatever break I can get after so much heat dropping this year.

 Ahhh true and thanks!

It was a good year for JB that's for sure.

Royals next year will be a **** show. If they end up with tumbled leather/same quality as 16 Bred, I might be in some financial troubles hahah
