Buyers really paid that much $ for the original colorways like UNC.... . Just saw the prices on black/reds, shadows and Chicago's too. Wow for that.

people stupid for paying that money. I remember $400 was pushing it. I think I paid $210 for unc's off ebay

I struck out on UNC's on snkrs, one of the first pairs I can remember going for on the app. They dropped on 10/10/15, my dad's bday. My friend worked at finishline and not long after they had still had a 12 in stock (dunno if it was a return or just leftover or what) but I passed b/c it was xmas time and I didn't have the extra money. Eventually copped a clean worn pair with no box for $140 shipped off the bay in 2018. Sniped before the off white x unc 1s dropped anticipating a steep increase...definitely didn't see $500+ coming though.

My pair is pretty beat now, as they should be.

The things we go through for a pair of shoes lol. Coo story though.

I wish they would retro the Unc patent ones but in high form. Those were the shoes that really started it all for me as a kid lol.

I’ve almost copped the UNC’s & the off white one’s too off that alone. But this was right when they dropped.

The DMP 11/6 package was special to me too because me n my moms camped together for em lol. Just good times and memories

All the OG colorways are SKY high and who knows when we will even get them again.

I guess once Nike really runs the well dry and has to pull out all the stops.

 

[papit]

You’re definitely right. The only color way that’s not as bad as the others are the royals
My hunt for bred 1’s was so crazy highest price I ever saw was like 1300. The first pair you see,I’ve watched him increase it from 950 to 1400. I tried to buy them local for a cheaper price from him when I was on the hunt and boy was he a d**k

Hangin.

Just wait for the retro, it'll come eventually and then you won't feel the need to drop 1.4k on a shoe just because it's an OG cw.

Glad I bought a used pair for only $250 a few years back

You can buy UA the Jordan 1 UA IS SPOT ON TO THE REAL ONES. GOOD LICK.

So glad I lucked out and got all og colorways for retail. Matter of fact, only 1's I paid resell on were the LA to Chi's

 

[perfectchaosrei]

Never pay resell on OGs they’ll come out and likely be better than the last time around

 

[jayfiend]

These just came in. Not sure how I feel about them. Box jacked and a couple marks. But clean for the most part. And I hate sending stuff back. Idk.

 

[cobrab19]

A lot of boxes come ****** up right from nike. Also a lot of shoes come with marks or blemishes from nike as well. Even when paying resale you get the same quality control issues. I really could care less about the box personally as long as it’s not in pieces or something.

Theory is flawed imo

You’re not wrong. It’s just you might wait 10, 15 years or more.

So if u got it and want it, do your thing. Never know when it’s your time G

 

[rafbuddy]

heritage 1s dropped on nike eu. would nike cancel if I tried doubling up?

Exactly. Some of these shoes that released recently haven’t retroed in 20+ years. You definitely won’t catch me waiting 20 years for a chance at retail.

Oh I definitely wasn’t paying 1k-1400 at all lol. Found mines for a steal compared to market prices

Which retro cw came back around 10-15 years later? I feel like the coveted ones like breds, chis, royals, shadows drop in a shorter time span than that. Plus we know they have the '85 mold and whatever new mold is coming out for the reimagined chis later this year. I feel like Nike would drop the OG cw's on those new molds once they need to bring the AJ1 hype back up. Might be sooner than later with the way AJ1's are performing on the aftermarket lately
