I wouldn’t fault anyone for selling them. It’s crazy I remember paying $300 resell for them. Jeez.

No real difference at all at least with the 2 pairs I have. The only problem I have with the tye dye pair is that Nike, in their douchebagery mindset, decided to NOT offer these in extended women's sizes! Which means, if your foot is no bigger than a 9.5 men's (which is a women's 11), you are S#$@ out of luck! Which means, I'm screwed (I wear a men's 11/W12.5. I believe the biggest is an W11 but could be wrong the biggest size may be smaller.)
The tye dye was the only shoe I really wanted for a long while. I really liked the idea and it's blue, my favorite color, as I'm saving my $$$ for the Agassi US Open retro clothing that is releasing in August. Damn you Nike!

Took the risk and transformed the leather into suede... I will take better pictures tomorrow in the day light.
I think they look a lot better like this...

SNEAKRS UK have posted these pages from a 1986 Nike catalog, sorry if it’s already been on SNKRS but I think it’s worth posting the screenshots

seems like a lot of people are doing this now. I asked a guy on IG and he said he used 400 grit sandpaper

Been thinking about selling my extra pair of Chicago's that I paid resell at $360. I might buy 2-3 pairs of Royal 1s and sit on it a bit. I dont mind sitting on shoes for 6-12 months. Pretty sure Royals will double in price by then. Would be good extra cash to take the family on a vacation once this pandemic gets a lot better.

Wow, looks really good. Wonder if we can we do this to Gym Reds to get rid of that shine and turn it into suede?

curious what makes you think royals will double in price in 6 months? genuinely asking. they've been super slow to go up in value since they dropped and I dont think theyll suddenly shoot up

OG AJ 1s could easily be treated like holiday AJ 11s where only one OG cw is released every year (I.e. NG 1s next year in the 85 cut) with the rest of the OG 1s released during any given year being solely retro+ cws. That could really limit a Royal release from dropping for quite a few years out, therefore skyrocketing resell prices for past releases. Obviously, this is all conjecture now but I could definitely see them employing this strategy as it makes sense from a business perspective.

1s just intend to shoot up in price over time. Specially OG colorways. I'm really surprised Royal has not gone up over $500. Storm Blue and Chameleon just shot up out of nowhere. And no one really wanted those at first.

yeah they do, though I still dont think royals will double that soon. storm blues went up after the union effect and theres a lot less pairs now. not entirely sure about chameleons, but still probably a lot less pairs overall. they made a ton of royals and theres still probably a lot of DS pairs floating around.

I thought you were bugging about Storm Blues, but I went to go check and I'm a bit disturbed.
When did this happen !? That's foul.

It was really easy to do actually.
All your need is rubbing alcohol, sand paper and a suede brush.
I still need to do the small details.
