You all blasted me for paying $700 for my Royals, but to be honest, i've worn the hell out of them and will continue to do so. 

Very happy with my purchase and glad I have my pair.  All I did was return Infrared White 6's, Yeezy foams and Baron 9's back to Niketown which pretty much paid for them.

3 pairs of kicks I'd rarely wear for 1 grail, yes please.

not crazy, just numbers


2001:~117,000* pairs


2013:~30,000* pairs

Those numbers don't really mean anything, 2001 release was 13 yrs ago. How many DS pairs do you think there are left out of those 117,000? There are way more deadstock pairs of 13's than there are 01's. I would guess that most of the 2001 pairs are either terribly beat or resting in peace in a landfill somewhere.
 
Does anyone stuff their 1's with socks/grocery store bags when they aren't wearing them to bump out some of the creases?

I just toss the shoehorn back in them. Not because I want to bump out creasing, but because I'm trying to put my shoes back in the box and all of that **** is otherwise in the way :lol

correct me if im wrong but the 01s were numbered to 50,000 right? atleast on the tag it said lol, i always wondered about that number and thought what are the odds someone else has the same numbered royals out there and nike was trying to be smooth and distributed them around thinking that they wouldnt ever find eachother lol
 
I use socks but it doesn't really do anything unless you apply some heat to it

Yeah I thought so. Had a suggestion from a friend but thought the shoehorn that comes with the shoes would have the same effect

So many people need to use this logic more fam. I def wouldn't pay 700 for Royals per se but **** if u using em I salute u.

Back in my hay day I came close to buying Lucky dunks for 500 so we've all been there.
 
that little cardboard thing that comes with the shoe doesn't do anything, it doesn't really push on the toebox

rcjbbp1313 rcjbbp1313 they were numbered to 58,000 something, maybe breds and royals together would be 117,000, not each pair by itself tho

yeah possibly either way id go for the 01s especially since for some reason they are now cheaper and easier to find a legit pair

I think the fakes have more to do with 2013s going for more then 2001s (if they are, I'm still not convinced)

dude still lost but I think luckys go for like 300 now I been meaning to make that move lol
 
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but werent the 01's actually numbered? Maybe thats where he got that figure from....
yeah, the numbering that exists for the 01s are " out of" 27k, 40k, 50k

most US release pairs have the 50k

fakes dont have anything to do with prices on 13's being high

I respect your opinion but these fakes are the only reason places like flight club and other places with reputation can even get away with charging 700 for royals, people are paying for peace of mind
 
You need the cedar shoe trees to really take care of these. Not much if you paid resell prices on these.
