the OG Chicago's were around the same prices when they first came out too

OG Chicagos were never THIS low. $850 MAYBE when they first dropped. But UNC's are going for like $650 and above depending on size.

I fully expect UNC's to go back up after the official drop (supposedly June 23rd), when people are salty about backdoors at retailers and SNKRS/Nike doesn't drop them again.

Just copped a pair of All Star Chameleon's for a great price on StockX. Hopefully this one is "legit" , because the last ones I tried to buy on there (3 months ago) didn't pass the inspection test. :smh:

right, depending on size obviously. not sure what the bae sizes of the Chicago's were going for initially but those are mainly the ones going for around 700 in the UNC.

the good sizes like 8-9.5 are hovering around 1k which is the same for when Chicago's dropped

Millennials?

Go sit in a corner.

He was licking shoes to show freshness, not authenticity. Try again, millennial.

LOL you really took that to heart, I'm sorry if I offended you; I'll be sure to stay off your lawn next time. I'm loving the fact that you're defending "licking shoes to show freshness" but "not authenticity." Is licking fresh sneakers the secret to your old age?

Just arrived in the mail! They look so gorgeous. Of course the tag repaint isn't 100% but I'm happy with it.

You were either in diapers or still in the sack when that piece aired.

context is everything. He did that for a show.

You kids smelling shoes to make your olfactory’s opinion a fact.

vinnuendo · May 31, 2018

edshoecator how old am I? When was my age stated? I'm sure you're at least old enough to know the ol' "don't assume, makes an *** out of u and me" lesson that everybody learns. You're the same as every generation before you; always talking down upon the generation after you. I mean hell, you deadass said "you kids" hahaha. Use your age and "wisdom" to educate, not ridicule.

And yes, I agree. Smell is stupid as hell to determine authenticity from.

sscolts · May 31, 2018

Believe or not, smell is a way of determining authenticity. I've been duped by fakes in the past, and one of the common factors they ALL share is the smell. Fakes have a very strong nail polish-like smell.

atdizzle · May 31, 2018

so if scammers wise up and decide to leave their pairs to air out for a few days, all yall peeps going by smell are done for.

smell CAN be used as ONE of the combined ways to determine authenticity. but its still unreliable.

smell deez

people still going off the smell of the kicks to determine legitness? u cant do that. so many variables to that. look at details on the actual shoe. because those cannot and will not change from day to day.

Trust me I don’t do that at all but the smell from the gold toes was so strong and unlike any Jordan 1 I currently have I have,

toneagain · May 31, 2018

lol, bruh stop sniffing jordans; you give us other addicts a bad name

My Shadows finally came through...
Threw em on real quick and the saying holds true; 1s generally ain't good on wide feet. And i got those; the kind that covers that maximum surface area when gripping the ground.
Might throw up some pics... lls i just might. :smile:

Lmao I feel your pain, that’s why I always go .5 size up with 1s. My feet are damn near as wide as they are long when I put my weight on em

Break-in period is crucial, almost painful
