yesAnybody in here a size 8?
Out of curiosity do many of you dudes rock/buy new AF1's, I have owned 100's of shoes, I don't really collect, just a guy who loves shoes, I still rock AF1's reguarly and for the most part beat em up, then put em in a box never to be seen again lol.
Always enjoy checking this thread for crazy throw backs and rare heat, just wondering if there is anyone else like me lol
P.S I know for the most part quality is trash on GR's but my recent purchases feels like they trying... Just a little
I've been meaning to reply to this for a while as I've got several newer pairs from my days working retail. You really have to pick and choose and up until late '10 you could get Premiums and Supremes for well under $100 on markdown. Premiums have been a hit or miss lately due to 'plastic leather' being slapped on them while 'Supreme' is a mixed bag with the visible Air units, leather midsoles and leather sockliners (which bleed like hell on your socks and can be uncomfortable over time).
And you really gotta scrutinize GRs or 'Basics' - due to the shoddy materials on them. The all canvas and suede joints get a pass ONLY if they have nylon tongues. If a GR has a pleather upper then it must have a suede/canvas toebox - again nylon tongues are mandatory.
I'm gonna reiterate that purchasing price is important - there is really no justification for an AF1 to cost $200+. There's 0 R&D and the overall 'thirst' for them is average at best making it a necessity to NOT spend a fortune on them. Just my 2 cents on what you asked.
couldn't subject myself to paying retail still.... ugh!who you telling
BIP, that's a good list, most of the releases that caught my attention are there. i only ended up getting the denim and the tokyo destroyer high (got lucky and ended up with a sample)
my theory is this: i can't bring myself to spend much money, even $100, on new releases that might affect my opportunity to acquire a vintage pair. it just doesn't seem logical for me to spend money on new releases only to buy vintage forces later on in life when the price has (most likely) been driven up.
nedsrock- dope set of photos there man. i'm in desperate need of some hk's, maybe santa will be nice. i recognize you from the instagram gang, keep it up because you have a ton to contribute in here!

Its okSorry I misspelled your name, originally.. Fixed now though.
Those highs are just a bit off, IMO. ...If they didn't have some much blue by the tongue. Or maybe, if the printing on the sole was navy or all white (or gold) instead of red. They were a close but no cigar to me, though I understand those who copped.
