They are inferior to the Chicago's and white/navy blue pairs.

Heard white/reds were pretty bad but slightly better than breds, royals, shadows. Im still gonna get the white/reds for collections sake and I like the og color blocking(white upper with the accents colored).

To be honest, the royals have the worst quality out of all of them.

Hmm didn't know that wow. I was only after the white pairs(red and gray). Thats good to know, I was starting to have a change of heart. Blue is my favorite color.

ya its too bad they slapped that shoddy material on the neutral greys as well.
I've worn my chicagos multiple times and comparing those to the creases on my white/reds is night and day different, reds look terrible.

Royals bred and shadow are exact same, so they are all terrible..
Don't ask me I wouldn't know

Same. I was super disappointed once the excitement for the B/red lows wore off. I wont do another OG low.

Same here. I scooped up like 3 pair of breds to sell a couple and pay for the one i kept. Basically broke even on em and i saw why. I even put Chamberlains on it to see if they would even soften up some. Cant polish a turd i guess. Turned me right off of the coming Royals and Shadows. I actually plan to find a cheap pair of Chicagos since i dont plan on l the high version and call it a day on lows. They really stink and its a shame cause they look great.

Wore my royal 1 lows for a week st8 and all I can say is I can't wait to get rid of them. That and my bred 1 lows. I'll sell both and get the chi 1 lows.

I'm def in the minority also, I kinda like the Royal 1 lows. I know the quality is nothing like the metallic 1's. The fact its Royal colorway and was so cheap makes me happy enough to beat it up. I think the more I break them in the softer it gets, although it's still not comparable to the other pairs.

My Royals are probably my fav beater pair but the creases look horrible. After 6 months of casual wear, I legitimately don't know if the upper can stand another 6 months of the same... Nike/JB really cut corners on materials with this release.

The issue with the Royals has always been the toebox-it is like a cardboard-like material so there's not much you can do, unfortunately.

Did you guys notice the low 1 no swoosh runs bigger than the other low 1's? Is it the premium leather ?

They all run bigger. Everyone's been going .5 down for swoosh lows. Are the no swoosh full size down?

I don't have that experience. Normal fit as the other lows
