Retro Of The 2003 Air Jordan 1 Black/Gold Patent Leather Coming Soon?

[BGB23]

I actually thought there would be more hype on these. They will sell out no doubt but the history of them (especially the drama they caused on this board) seems to be lost in the promotion. I mean this shoe and the Nike Talk drama it caused should be more legendary.

Won the DTLR raffle for these, can’t wait to add them to the collection

What drama did these cause? Was this back in '03?

^ It was like 06 or 07

a member found one of the rare F&F 1985 versions from a collector in Japan. The member sought the advice of another member as to weather or not the were real. The “helper” told the guy seeking help they were fake then went behind the other guys back and bought the shoes. Then the member who got screwed over outed the helper as a scammer on eBay who set up false accounts through the years featuring super rare shoes from his collection up for auction. The guy accepted payments then ghosted the accounts. This guy WAS one of the most respected members here and even won a solecollector shoe competition at Niketown Denver one year. The thread went on for weeks

First time I've ever seen anyone win the online DTLR raffle

These should be getting way more love on here than they are, these were executed perfectly, can’t wait to get them. (Hopefully at retail)

I’ve missed so many releases over the last few months with Covid restrictions, I don’t need another pair I’ve gotta circle back for and grab off eBay!! I’m already like 6 pairs behind!!

0/4. Ah well

 

[Raji Lowenthal]

Can't spell FTL without an L

 

[utahman130]

W on FTL, WL on Champs with full head starts.

 

[jawknee37]

To add head starts or not

Decided to go ahead and max head starts on Champs.

Waitlist with Champs, Ls for Foot Locker and Footaction. All size 10 in Seattle area.

 

[toneloc2002]

L on FTL, WL on FTA....

 

[gxdsavvy]

L on all raffles

yet I hear nobody talking about this release smh

 

[po2345]

0/6 on Foot apps.
I have not won a single shoe since the new system started.
No idea how this system is "better" for the average joe.

PO

 

[thegamemodo9]

It's just taken joy away from the real collectors honestly. We ain't got time to jump through these hoops for a pair.

I only entered FTA last second based on some info from iwilwin on stock....stores here either don't have it or size 11 is probably MIA. I obviously took an L tho.

I used to be clutch on 3 different accts now I can't even hit a shoe with no real demand smh

OG Hi Is can't be had without head starts.

 

[zombiejohnny]

So FTL put me on WL for these, I’m assuming the chances are low for obtaining a pair when on WL?

 

[Lucky13s]

OG Hi Is can't be had without head starts.

I was put on WL and upgraded to a W, zero head start.

 

[AIR J XIII]

Ls across the board on foot apps, will try SNKRS in the morning

Sleeper of the year

Who says people will sleep?

 

[jordan2233]

Who says people will sleep?

True. I have heard people complaining of creasing with all patent and stuff.

 

[zombiejohnny]

True. I have heard people complaining of creasing with all patent and stuff.

They’re still gonna sell out insanely quick. Also, these are considered a grail to quite a few that owned the mids.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

True. I have heard people complaining of creasing with all patent and stuff.

So I can just walk into the store and cop then.
