Love this thread. Go to work for 8 hours, come back and 30+ pages to read over 500 unread posts. Not even worth it just read the good clippings

Mold is better on the '16, leather overall better on '11.

I'd be very careful if you're thinking about copping them early for $250-500, whether or not it's from Flatline, er Fineline lol
I've been doing some extensive research the last couple days on fakes of the '16 Bred 1s and there's at least three Chinese websites right now offering them from anywhere between $106-188 and their UA's are super close to pics of real pairs. They've also posted videos on youtube trying to promote their UA's as authentic and...
The fakes of these particular websites ALSO have the sky blue color on the bottom of the insoles. The color of the cardboard on the base of the sole (inside the shoe) also matches the pics posted earlier by bigskyedaddy, not to mention the stitching is virtually identical on the base of the shoe (inside).
I believe Air Thompson mentioned a couple days ago that one thing to look for is the trademark R on the tongue where it says "Nike Air." He mentioned that the "R's" on the real pairs are well-defined, not crooked, and stitched perfectly. The R's on the fakes do not have perfectly formed circles around it and the R looks sloppily stitched.
If it were me, I'd stay clear the F away from early pairs because one thing is for sure: you will NEVER know where the seller copped it from. He/She can't provide you with a legit receipt from a legitimate store either, so you might as well wait until after release day.
You may be copping an early pair for $450 from someone who bought them for $106 or $185 from a fake Chinese factory. Just sayin.

For whoever asked about LA, some WSS locations in LA are doing FCFS. Jus got back from 2 malls to grab 4 tickets. Wish me luck y'all! 1 FNL said they're all out of raffle tickets [emoji]128529[/emoji]

i never understood the "retire" word when speaking of sneakers.
I will eventually stop wearing Jordan's, but thats not a retirement. I just chose to go with something else.

Can't imagine a worst place to be than a FCFS at a WSS, in Los Angeles.
Be safe out there.

why is the snkrs app doing a "draw" a bad thing?
how is it different from any other raffle or rsvp thing or whatever?

Should be safe if preorder person has them shipped direct to you with receipt, not repacking them...
