Official Air Jordan I Retro BLACK/ROYAL Thread FEB 2013

[ultralightbeam]

Was only able to secure 2 pairs for this release. One for one of my dudes on here and one personal pair. Didn't think it'd be that difficult to get more.

 

[capital sb]

I just sold XX8 for $400 and a Lebron Area 72 shirt for $75 it's too easy anymore with all this hype but now ill pay resale for these

Wow XX8s are reselling for 400

Did we ever find out how many pairs were made

Someone said around 10,000.. US got around 6k of those.. Not sure how accurate that is though..

sounds about right :x

Damn tough

Quality is better than Knicks, the blue is the same, they are comfortable as pillows, and the tongue is nylon. There is little to no difference between these and the 01s, comfort wise they may be better,

All of this is the same of what ive heard from my boy from cinci who got his pair. Appears they are pretty incredible 

 

[ayotayo]

Still in disbelief that so many missed out. It was definitely a limited release.

Had to hit the Central Valley, CA to camp and cop (I am from greater LA)

Honestly, I havent had to try this hard for Jordans since Concords

 

[raidon]

It's outrageous. I seriously was waiting on the Eastbay screen at the countdown, clicked "Add to Cart" for the shoes and they sold out. Same with everything else.

The Thunder IVs were easier to get than these, I swear.

I struck out both at Eastbay, FL, and Livestock(Site wasn't even loading at 3:00 and by the time I got there, it was only size

I didn't even know people knew that much about Livestock until now.

Well, hopefully I can get a pair less than 210-220?

Concords were WAY easier than this release...

$300 lol.....should've gotten the 01's.

I prefer these over the 01's, but then again, I'm all about a leather swoosh on 1's. JB did good. I can't say that all of the time.

That was the reason i bit the bullet on a 2013 pair. Everything i hear is that they are so close to the OGs. Im so relieved to have secured a pair. 

 

[SteveSteve72]

what pisses me off is most the dudes who picked these up dont even want the shoe to rock, dudes just trying to pick up any pairs they can to re sell

That's the problem with every release these days.
Fools think they can make a living flipping shoes,and buy up all the pairs.
And the people that like the shoes and want to wear them get screwed.

Lol don't start.

 

[sunshineblotters]

Damn son.. I feel bad for even having a pair now. |I

Its not your fault. I'm just one of those dudes where anything that can go wrong will go wrong in my life

i cant believe fools are paying ****** prices for these. they'll be back in 6-10 years....

yah and in 6-10 years we will all get our pairs, like we did this time. NBD, lets wait 10-15% of a persons average lifetime waiting.

If it comes down to it I will grab em for 300. These are in my top 5

id buy a sz 11 for 250shipped if i could find it. most sz 11s online are like 300+ :x

Same. But I am waiting to see how prices fluctuate

Not even gonna front, the insoles feel like shag carpet soft and furry

These are a rare release from JB. Close to banned status

the OGs didnt have a leather swoosh?

 

[ayotayo]

Concords were WAY easier than this release...

I had to camp for 12+ hours for Concords, just 6+ for these

 

[sunshineblotters]

They made over 300,000 concords. How are they even being compared?

the OGs didnt have a leather swoosh?

2001s had a nubuck swoosh

the OGs didnt have a leather swoosh?

nubuck.

Ogs had leather, 01s had nubuck

 

[SteveSteve72]

It also makes it worse that JB makes these limited, why not make them a GR so everyone that wants them can get them.

 

[ayotayo]

How many royal 1's were produced?

 

[marcushatten]

2001s had a nubuck swoosh
Ogs had leather, 01s had nubuck

i meant 01's not OG, I dont think i ever noticed that, thanks

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

I love this thread.

perfect mix of anger, false hope, and denial.

So true.
