They look better in this pic than any pic I’ve seen.Very happy with these. Especially at the sale price.
They who? Casual sneaker buyers or people who post on NT. Most will see it as an opportunity to own a 600.00 sneaker at retail.I think they will be expecting “SBB Quality” (whatever that means these days) though.
Well “SBB Quality” is a common term with ppl who are interested in sneakers so I think if they drop a trash retro, people will definitely drag them on TikTok, r/sneakers, Sneaker IG, X, Sneaker YouTube, etc. etc.They who?

The sneaker community sm will probably drag them as you say but that ain't gonna stop regular people from buying them. If I get a pair they really gonna have to be plastic for me not to wear them . I Don't expect a replica of the OG SBB, and if someone does I'm a tell you right now it ain't happening.Well “SBB Quality” is a common term with ppl who are interested in sneakers so I think if they drop a trash retro, people will definitely drag them on TikTok, r/sneakers, Sneaker IG, X, Sneaker YouTube, etc. etc.

…how’s the leather?
Idk maybe I shouldn’t expect much from JB but I’m holding out that we will get a faithful SBB 1.0 retro in the V2 mold.The sneaker community sm will probably drag them as you say but that ain't gonna stop regular people from buying them.

It's okay. The leather on the latest Air Tech Challenge II retro is much better.They look better in this pic than any pic I’ve seen.

With the 1s are going on sale they need to release a color way people want in decent numbers. The hype building mode only works when people have money to spend. Nike can try but missing out on the SBB retro ain't gonna sell the other bs they're putting out. Maybe if you're stupider than most with expendable cash.Idk maybe I shouldn’t expect much from JB but I’m holding out that we will get a faithful SBB 1.0 retro in the V2 mold.
I think they know the importance of this cw and the 85 highs we’ve received have been decent quality and the V2 mold on the OG Highs has absolutely been an improvement over the small swoosh V1 OG Highs used on the OG SBB 1.0s.
What I am truly afraid of is that the 2025 SBB 1.0 retro will not be released in GR numbers like we have with recent OG Highs because the brand is going to be in hype building mode next year.

Tbf, they were releasing all sorts of garbage cws in 2020-2021 and everything was selling out since people were getting free money for doing nothing lolNike wonders why things aren't selling like they were. Release a navy colorway, and six months later release another blue colorway. In the middle of that, let's release a blue low. Makes no sense really.
Spidey 1.0s were a PITA but I think that was because it was kind of a collab.Correct me if I'm wrong but initially the remastered 1's from like 2014/15-2018 ish weren't selling for crazy money out the gate from release date.
Outside of a few pairs, Chicagos, Breds, and I think maybe Bred Toes? Most of the remastered ones from that time frame that were a GR could've been had easily for retail. UNC's, and Shadows were easy. Royals were a little bit of a headache but they weren't that expensive on the secondary market.
Then you had the run of retro +'s the first pair of Game Royals were an easy cop and cheap so much that we had people customizing them to make Frags.
Yep, Bloodlines went on sale for well under retail on NDC in early 2020 but were hilariously reselling for almost $300 a year laterThen around 2019 ish we had people starting the whole "buying and holding" thing. Then COVID exasperated everything. It wasn't sustainable.
Spidey 1.0s were a PITA but I think that was because it was kind of a collab.
Bred Toes were a difficult cop and Court Purple toes as well but you’re right, for the most part releases like Crimson Tints, B/W Yin Yangs, etc. etc. were easy cops.
Hype on AJ 1s really peaked in 2020-2021. I remember even those 2021 Electro Oranges were reselling for around $200
My biggest regret is not dumping a bunch of DS pairs I’ll never wear during that time (including Crimson Tints lol).

Not only are the colorways WORST. But they're HARDER to get for retail. Game royals, Pine Green 1.0s, UNC's, Kentuckys, Shawdows, ROTY, Obsidians..and I'm sure missing a bunch but all could've been had for retail or next to it on release day and afterwards.
Now you gotta jump through hoops to buy weak colorways.

Yeah def low demand in your area for Spidey 1.0s. Spideys were going for $300+ right after release in 2018 (I know because I doubled up for resell). Court Purple toes were kinda tough but everything else was pretty easy.Maybe it was just low demand in my area but I grabbed the Spidey 1.0's from Champs, overslept and forget to confirm my second pair.
Every 1 release I was hitting multiples, Turbo Greens, Pine 1.0s, ChitoUNC, Court Purples, The BT women Satins, Shadows, Game Royals, ROTY
I hit on 5 pairs of Obisidian's, only grabbed 3 left the other 2 because my girl at the time was tired of driving around all day lol.
Those KobesAFTER that 2019 Bred 11 release everything went to s****
App bugged out for HOURS. I still managed to confirm the 2 pairs I needed and the one for my girl.
That Kobe sell haunts me to this day
