Why are raffles unavailable? Are the stores around you doing first come first serve? I would go to all the stores around your area and try to get details on who is getting them and how they are going to be selling them ( IE legwork ) Online will most likely be harder to cop than in person.

They are unwinnable not unavailable. Many are rigged and I haven't won raffles for 5 different releases now.

Well I would try to make friends with the guys doing releases at the store. Stopping by here and there and striking up conversations goes a long way. If you can't (or are too lazy) put in the legwork to secure a pair, then your best bet is to gamble on release day online. You can go the pre order route if you want, but there really is no need if you put in the work.

i can't imagine anyone looking for 1 pair won't be able to get the chicagos on release day. Maybe if your internet connection is still dial up.

If they have a ******* internet connection + striked out on retail + chi's being hoarded by resellers, then they won't be able to get a pair.

Sadly, I'm in the first situation rn. Can't pay more for better internet. zz

Deciding on which B/W for this beautiful weather in NYC..

 

[njavier03]

This...

I like the colorway but they ain't a Jordan 1 I can't live without. It's not that serious for these joints, I hope I can get em if not oh well... Like Thompson said more concerned with Chicagos and Uncs..

The hype for ones is outta control now. I can't wait for them to stop releasing these joints.. Every one that drops is a Hypebeast/reseller dream.

agreed. they need to put 1s in the "vault" with the 3s, bc theyre doing too much now. tbh, the last pair of 1s i really wanted was the melos and the next are the chicagos. everything else in between has been meh to me. good luck to all those that want the halloweens i mean shattered dreams i mean shattered backboards. 2 purr of chicagos and i think im good on 1s for the rest of the year. i dont even care about the carolinas that much.

All of this. I don't even care about the chicagos tbh. Wake me when they drop neutral grays or metallics[emoji]128564[/emoji]

Theres always money to be made when the shoes costs Nike $12 to produce with shipping included.

$185 Shoe cost retailer about $100 

Costs nike about $55 to make it.

You must be new around here.

Gamma 11's 400K

Carmine 6 450K

white/infrared 6 250k

laney 5 250K

Concord low 11 350K

ETC.....

Yes 600K is high but 200-400K is not out of the question.

Most of you are forgetting the fact that a GS size run will also be available........

As to @RobTooFresco   I almost 40.  I've been here since freshman year of college.

 

[shaw333]

GS size run was available on the '13 Breds and those werent exactly simple to get. I thought the rough estimate #'s on OG 1s were about 30k (mens)

 

[Leonard Washington]

i think matt powell the analyst mentioned around 25K Breds, guessing royals were around the same with a big allocation going to europe/asia

 

[tr23]

Gamma 11's 400K
Carmine 6 450K
white/infrared 6 250k
laney 5 250K

Bro you can list of all the numbers you want but none of those are Jordan 1 highs. It's a fact that 1's release in significantly lower numbers. Some guess a little over 30,000 for breds and royals

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

Damn, hella GRs on that comparison list of "examples"

 

[bballermarkie]

Yup ones release in smaller quantities to keep hype there to sell the mids and all that other garbage

 

[airthompson]

why do all Jordan 1 threads turn into this?

Numbers will likely be similar to the OG lows. Thats normal NA 1 numbers.

This chicago release needs to hury up man

 

[JetLife84]

@Zyzz  

 That ish was funny! Brought back memories too. 

@AirThompson  LOL For sure. Speculating doesn't do any good.

For real though, I hear people talking normal na numbers all the time and i'm just out of the loop. Forgive my newbieness but whats normal numbers fam? 

Can't wait for the Chi's either. I'm hoping my play does fcfs tickets sunday morning

 

[126006]

The truth is, unless you work for nike and are privy to the information, you don't know.
You can be told the numbers, but those numbers usually are invented by a reseller who says he "has the connect" , which is a lie usually too, and is only understated to drive up hype and his resell price.
So, there is no use in numbers. Even shops lie to drive their sales.
I'll bet there's a warehouse full of fragments, perhaps in Memphis or Taiwan.

 

[kilroythedon]

Carmines were the last shoe to give me a headache and if they really had 450k smh.. That damn shoe I kicked them when I got them but at the time Finishline wasn't accepting my card and they had em for a couple hours.

You never know with these releases what could happen..

 

[kilroythedon]

200-400k ? i dunno seems like a lot for a one

 

[babyjs23]

To kinda change the current subject [emoji]128077[/emoji]

Perfect day to wear; a chance of rain and cool temps for a couple of days.

Definitely gonna have to double up

 

[kilroythedon]

^^^ these look better worn than just out of the box, nice to see you wearing em!

 

[babyjs23]

These are one of my top 5 1's

I thought they would need to be broken in before they are comfortable, but they are very comfortable once I slipped them on[emoji]128077[/emoji]
