Trash

Can you name a few bro? I'm just curious on your definition of sought after.

for me, sought after is anything that was sitting for along time and then now cost $350+ to cop. Example, the game royals, spider mans, storm blues

 

[casper90403]

nothing "trash" about a Royal Chicago

dope color and color blocking

unless you're someone that thinks any non-og colorway is trash..... then sure I get it

royal chicago's are disgusting to me but i can't pull off different shoes on each foot.

 

[Space City Soldier]

photoshop.... but gentry is trolling heavy

Perfect beaters. I’d cop

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

Bloodlines came with white laces, correct? Or were people doing laceswaps?

Yes, they came with 3 sets of laces, one of them being white.

Spideys never sat.

spidermans never sat b, they sold out pretty fast

i think hes talking about these game royals

I really only like ogs, but these are nice

 

[staffsgtdignam]

Lmao @ Spideys sitting... One of the dumbest things I’ve heard on here in a min.

 

[Otaku]

IIRC Game Royals also sold out too? I don't remember them sitting.

 

[headdetective]

Our definitions of sought after are clearly different, and that's fine.

ahh yes, those are nice. I didnt like them at first but saw them in person and then wanted.

[casper90403]

Spidey's weren't sitting on Stockx for practically retail or a little more after release? Swore they were easily attainable if you wanted them. My bad then

 

[Kierris]

These over Gym Reds?

Yes, Gym Reds never looked good to me. I understand that some people love the sail, vintage look but for me on this particular pair it just makes them look dusty. Most overrated shoe on NT imo. Well as far as 1s go.

 

[supermanblue79]

Me and supermanblue79 did a petition and sent a big presentation package to Gentry when the Military 4 samples first surfaced and had leather wings & heel tab. Can never say for sure whether our petition and presentation did the trick, but we certainly got plastic wings and heel tabs when they released.

Yes, I remember that! It was great working with you, and thanks for all your hard work on it. There was an infamous insider here on NT that confirmed that our package was the difference maker at JB, and was well received. I continued to keep in touch with Gentry Humphrey by email after that petition up until he left the brand. He was a good guy and really did what he could within Nike, Inc.'s corporate structure to roll out the best JB products. He didn't get his True Blue Jordan IV Sample into production, but I'm hoping the new guys finish what he started. I really want a pair of those in hand.

Take care of yourself Jay.

Our definitions of sought after are clearly different, and that's fine.

that's fair. Sought after is different between guys like you and most in here vs. the general casual sneaker collector.

Game royals were one that I regret passing on when they came. Don't need them enough to want at $350 but good enough to want at understand $200.

 

[casper90403]

and sitting to me also refers to sites like Stockx. Sitting at retail or slightly above for the longest time. Ex: Game Royals.

 

[Kierris]

Damn that dude is a narcissist. Just because you personally don't like a shoe doesn't mean they can't or won't be sought after. The Travis Scott's are an abomination imo but that won't stop me from acknowledging they are a highly coveted, sought after shoe.

 

[WASHED KING]

Game Royals did sell out, but they could have definitely been had for retail or almost under in some sizes after the release.

 

[turbospartan]

I don't think so, at least not in the smaller money sizes. I don't think sz9 was ever under $300 after release (double retail)

 

[WASHED KING]

If I remember correctly they shot up right after the release. It was one of those shoes everyone thought was going to be easy and surprised people. I'm still kicking myself for falling asleep too early that night and missed my promotion off the waitlist from Champs. I could've doubled up smh.

 

[casper90403]

I felt like Spiders in my size (10.5) were in that $210 area for a couple of months after release. I did not want them but remember saying to those who didn't have Chicagos, to grab them at that price.

Stopped paying attention to them and 6 months later, prices were in the high $300. I was stunned.

Never sat

 

[casper90403]

or maybe I'm thinking about how they hovered in that $200-$210 for a long time during presell and nobody really wanted them?

 

[anthos]

my size 11 in the Spideys release morning were more like 250 260 and i moved on from them, havent came down since
