@babyJs23 just curious when you had the 85 joints (aside from the obvious being a 30 year old pair of shoes) was the fit comparable to any other release of the 1 since? The comfort?

I remember after the Banned pair hit outlets I had a chance to cop for like $400 but didn't have it....
definitely hope to capitalize this time around.

IMO, they all felt about the same as any 1 would feel, but with a slight bit more comfort in the remasters. The OG's, however, the leather seemed to get better as they were broken in and contoured to my feet better than the remasters.
But, that's trying to go back way back when and trying to remember the last time I actually had an OG on feet. I was a lot more skinnier and my feet were less wide.

What release is considered better? The 2001s or the 2011s? The front looks better to me on the '01s but how is the quality of both? Why is the 2011 price so much higher? Definitely want to cop the 2016s.

The materials and how they were released is why the 2011 version reign supreme.

Thanks Sak! I knew there had to be something special about them that would make the differences in the front not matter. What a timeless design and colorway. Man this year is crazy. So much heat!!! My bank account is about to take a huge hit by December.

You're welcome and this year was pretty good, 2015 and 2016 were great in terms of what released in my opinion.

I hope they go as hard next year. Would love to see the return of the flint XIIIs. I still have my '05 pair which is all beat up. I was so disappointed with the lack of 3m and the creased mesh that I had to pass in 2010.

Resell was around 250 when they dropped

Different times. Most resell was around $200-250 unless it was something really limited like the original thunder IVs.

I'll be putting in the necessary work to secure at least 2 pairs.

they just have to produce a bunch of these right?
why dont they mass produce 1's? makes no sense. EVERYBODY loves them

don't ask that question, someone here will insult your intelligence while giving you an answer that has never been spoken on by Nike or JB.

Did real good on the Chi release so I will take the same approach with these. Just need one but if I hit on 2, I'll have two. Pics are super bananas and after this weekend I'm gonna be locked in on these hard. I won't be denied at least a pair (just trying to think positive). Hopefully we all get a pair.

I have a Foot action connect so I know I'm guaranteed one pair retail. If I can get a 2nd pair for retail then I'd consider paying resale for a third. I'm thinking chaos will ensue I end up paying resell for a second pair though

everybody doesn't love them. A lot of ppl just want them for value if they mass produce them will still sellout because of hype related to shoe color way/ model
