I mean it’s not a grail. But I never thought SBBs were either so whatever.
Exactly. SBBs and Fragments are utterly mediocre. But over time have become these “amazing grails.” YAWN.

They weren’t bad by any means but the shape has been far bested and the quality of the SBBs isn’t as mythical as some make it out to be.Exactly. SBBs and Fragments are utterly mediocre. But over time have become these “amazing grails.” YAWN.
Lazy interpretation.
Joints butter.
I feel this way about colored laces I understand but those you named are fire lolThe colorblocking is what bothers me more than the color or even material (except for patent/satin. They can ***** with those). I love my Mauves and Palaminos and really liked the cement prints because they followed classic colorblocking (UNC/Kentucky for Mauves, Bred for Palamino, and Chicago for cement prints).
What I don't like is when they mix up the colorblocking, like with all the ...insert-color-here...-toe (SBB, Taxi, Bred-Toe, Green, Blue, Purple, etc.). That color in the toe panel is just too much and never looks right to me.
If it's a Black toe with a color swapped out for the Red, I'm all in. Classic color-blocking and decent leather or maybe some suede/nubuck and I'm at least interested in a OG/85 1 High or Low.
Quality on the Marinas was terrible though so I get why people don’t like them. I did a side-by-side with 2017 Royals awhile back and there was no competition in terms of quality.Taxis and marinas are some of the more versatile non og cw 1s.
Both get hate as if they are trash, only reasoning is they didn’t resell for 5 bills.
But they are both real nice colors
If they do they'd still charge retail for them. Outlets have ****ing SUCKED for like the last 5 yrs. Easier to just get stuff for less than retail on SXAnyone think Jordan 1 team red will hit the outlets
NYC to Paris were trash as well though. That highlighter pink they used under the grey paint was straight up disgusting lolI genuinely like the cements. As I said earlier I'd take them over NYC to Paris Sbs.
This makes me wonder if Nike/JB stopped allocating a lot of retros to outlets in order to push even worse trash at them. Much easier to offload retros at flagship stores but Frankenstein fusions/Air Jordan Nothings, team Js, etc. etc. all gotta go to the outlet to rot and massive discounts to move lolIf they do they'd still charge retail for them.

Yep, exactly. Store employee at the Daytona Beach outlet I talked to a few weeks ago said the problem has been Nike has oversaturated the market in terms of the stores they own. He said he's worked at the outlets for years across North/Central FL and Nike now has 6 locations of assorted stores in Orlando alone, so none of the other regional outlets get *anything* decent, let alone for below MSRP. We were reminiscing about the golden days where you never knew what you'd find each week and what kind of deals you'd find. Fact is, if you have international tourists, middle-aged men and soccer moms as your main customers, who all think they're getting a great deal finding basic-*** runners and Team Js for 20% off retail, why would you bother shipping retro Js, AM1s, Dunks, etc to those stores when you can just hold them in a Memphis warehouse and sell them all on NDC during a 15% off sale?This makes me wonder if Nike/JB stopped allocating a lot of retros to outlets in order to push even worse trash at them.

Outlets are final sale ? Wow, I didn’t know that. That’s ridiculousAnd if they do get anything marginally desirable at ANY discount, resellers are there at opening clearing the shelves. So, unless you happen upon a return in your size that hasn't gone out on the back wall yet, it is dryer than a Popeye's biscuit in the Mojave desert. I've literally considered a couple of things recently and then bailed because they were on Nike.com for less than I could have bought them for in the "outlet", and the outlets are Final Sale now.
I want these but under retail.I like these better than Muaves, Brotherhood, than the other burgundy pair with the silver swoosh... I tend to find more clothing in stores in this shade of burgundy vs the burgundy they use on the A Ma Maniere line... They definitely look really good...
Its a little over 2 months before release and another week or so afterwards before that happns... I guess you can patiently wait it out... For retail, 2 months early, and for a color I love it's a go... I'm a Carolina Gamecock fan so these fit perfectly into my already enough burgundy rotation...I want these but under retail.
Thanks for the comparison pic. I had a friend call these the Tiffany 1s and I was like . Tiffanys are more blue and these are more green, which should be obvious given the name.Thank you Nike for the fast shipping!! Love these. Need another pair bc I’m wearing these out before May.
Dont mind the tiffanies. I added those so you guys can see the color reference.
