Definitely not the most limited Jordan 1s. Most are sitting in consignment shops and on websites of the same caliber.

I dont like the neon green laces on the off white ones. I think they ruin the look. Ill still try to cop tho.

They made a hefty amount of royals
Just by comparison alone to say chicagos
Had stores for Chicago getting 20-28 men's pairs max
Royals those same stores 60-80 pairs
Plus a lot of stores who wouldn't normally carry the hyped Jordan 1 release had allocation
This is just based off footlocker family of stores
But clearly when you factor in all retailers they seem to have made royals in a far higher quantity
Funny how once they raise the production numbers on a "grail" it's far less desirable and resell is in the toilet huh lol
Bad comparison but those history of flight joints went from mega grail to sales rack lol

I still gotta pick up those HOF 13's soon, they are clean
as far as the Royals, I thought I got super lucky when hit on Snkrs on the initial release (it was draw correct?), gauging the supply of previous releases. I was dreading having to hunt down a pair and pay resale, but I'm glad JB is listening to the consumer and even if the resell market took a hit, JB is making more money on their end by producing more pairs, they dont care about resell profits.

I'm glad they are producing a lot of royals, even though I've missed out too many times this year for a double up. Top tier classics like the royals, breds, chicagos, etc. (1s only) will always sell. Just like certain 11s, 4s and 3s. Sure resell may be dead on the royals, but that's how it should be. Everyone should be able to get a pair or two for just about retail. Its not like they're sitting.

Well people never look at the actual reality of the angle nike plays...
So shoes are made by Nike
Any pairs sold directly via Nike online in store etc...
Is a big profit for them
If I recall the breakdown properly a Jordan 1 costs about $23 dollars to produce this is cost of materials labor and freight shipping broken down per pair for an allocation
So the Nike retail of $170 which is like well over a 700% mark up
Now even if a Jordan 1 is a brick and hits outlets for even $100 still over 400% mark up so nike wins regardless
Now here is where Nike really gets their hustle on...
Licensed nike retailers
Footlocker wholesale for Jordan's average like $85 per pair which of course varies per model but since most models run $190 box wholesale is usually 80-85 dollars For men's pairs
Now if a retailer can't sell the shoe
Nike got paid regardless because even at the wholesale price it's still a minimum 3-400% mark up from cost to produce
It sitting or selling is not nike problem any longer they technically already sold it to retailers
So they are good
This is why when I see "oh Nike is hurting everything sitting on shelves" I kinda laugh as even at their own branded stores on a deep discount Nike still turns a profit lol
Now for those wondering if Nike does anything to make up for some bricks
The answer is ehhh not really
Nike hustle in regards to this is "we will allocate more holiday 11 pairs to you" since those are always a big seller or any shoe that may be a big sell out seller

Ehh like over all yes but they seem to be doing limited stuff more as a capsule in recent months like that vlone crap etc..
Or the stupid scavenger hunt "be at this location for a clue" nonsense lol
A lot of parlor tricks or just elite style drops where you might as well play the lotto because you will have the same luck style drops lol
This ironically is what's hurting them with the consumer experience
Adidas consumer experience keeps improving you get higher allocation you get restocks you get the same desired style in a array of colors etc...
Nike is a monster in the sneaker consumer market
Adidas is just about even with Jordan brand market currently won't surprise me they pass Jordan brand by end of year
But even then think about that adidas as a whole is on par with Nike subdivision of Jordan brand lol

Yo that Motorsport was a cinder block lol
Crazy how hyped that shoe was as a grail people were dropping 3-5K on that **** and look lol
Same with the history of air joints and Dunno if it's been posted but like 2 more models from that HOF pack and set to drop next year
Those who paid mega bucks must be SICK right now lol
