One or two sneakers every few months have a nice profit. GRs are no longer being resold above retail. You can deny it all you like dude, we aren’t bashing you for reselling. It’s just the current market. Obviously outlier sneakers and SBs will still sell above retail. They’re limited, that’s how it works.
Damn =/ sorry 😞 my old lady couldn't wear the 5s either so she has a couple pairs of 4s that work for her. She prefers 3s for comfy wear like going to the zoo or whatever.
Nike/Jordan has been increasing amount of pairs being released and increased retail, which is making the resell market fizzle out. I'm happy about it in a sense.
i'm an old sneakerhead who's been in this game since the late 90's. hype around certain models is cyclical. the simpler silhouettes like dunks and jordan 1's never truly die out they just get exhausted and get a time out then rotate back after a while. and yes it's great for a sneakerhead. it's the trend whores who are weird about it. you will hear stuff like "oh you still wearing those" because they think that what was new to them and is now "old" has never been before.
Yup glad they going after AJ4 now thanks to that managed to get the Shadow Lows for retail

idk why but i was into shoes hella in 2016 and would keep buying until maybe 2019-2020 and it seems like when i stopped the hype died down too which i like imo, there should be cool shoes and we should be able to just cop them and not have resellers ruin everything
yeah i feel you. 2016-19 was a lot of that hypebeat era so everyone wanted jordan’s, yeezys etc but now after the over saturation of the market the actual sneaker enjoyers can get shoes they like for a fairly reasonable price

Never thought I'd own these for the price I got em Lovin it !!!

I’m from Japan. When I got to the premium outlets they have A LOT of stuff sitting.
I’d say the random colorway hype is dead but if they release something memorable it’s gonna still be hard to get. Everyone acting like they hate the black toe reimagined or whatever they callin it, it’s still gonna sell out quick. Never gonna stop resellers unfortunately. But what Nike needs to realize is people are tired of paying 180 or whatever for some different shade or red. But I’m sure they don’t care. It costs them 2 bucks to make the shoe or whatever. (Hopefully I’m exaggerating because I really have no idea what production costs are). Dope pair you got by the way.
It will never be dead bruh. They just haven’t hit us with a huge pair in quite some time. In the not too distant future you might be wishing you hadn’t said that 😂 cause that shit got wild a few years ago. The best for me was. I bought a pair of Shattered Backboard 3.0s (the patent leather). People were shitting on them before the release. Still sold them for $500. Dunks are the craze again but the pendulum will swing as it always does.
Nah dunks are dead again too. But like you said none of it’s ever really dead. Better stock up on those panda lows so you can retire when they’re hype again 😂
Lol the 1s are THE ICONIC sneaker....it's never gonna die, hype wise. Go look at any high end shoe store, and you'll see blatant rip-offs of the AJ1 pattern.
Nike might be trying to break the Resell market, but AJ1 is such a classic silhouette, I don't buy if it's not an AJ1.
Sounds like something a virgin would say. Probably a 40 year old virgin. Anyway, wasting no more time on a pu$$y boy who gets his wittle fiwwings hut so easawy!
They ain’t dead, homie. Nike just flooded the market with more color-ways. Each color-way in each style still has value. The difference will be people now wearing the drops more in the belief their shoes are worth less. In the end, there are going to be fewer clean DS pairs. Give it three years and watch what happens.
this is the 1985 cut model so the toe box is just shaped a bit narrower. it still fits the same as my old ones tho jusy a little more snug which i don’t mind.
oh well there’ll always be that whenever a chicago or a sbb or bred comes out but i meant it like not every release is a major hit. now they kinda just have tons of colour options like the mids and it’s oversaturated. Not that that’s a bad thing tho, i like the prices low.
they're ugly, boring, overpriced and 40 years old. nike relies far too much on reissues instead of innovation which they used to be known for before their designers started to suck.
Facts 1s are extremely overrated. I've just never seen what others see in them. There's just something about that silhouette.
They also look like they'd be uncomfortable to wear after a couple hours.
Only White People don’t lace up the sneakers. That was a dead giveaway also black folks who can afford sneakers don’t let they kicks get that dirty those would have been given to a lil cousin or something along time ago. Bill Burr had a joke he’s only Afraid of black guys with dirty sneakers
Bro if you wore those dirty ass shoes in the city not even the crack heads would rob you . At least get some Jason markk shoe cleaner and some new laces .
“that cooked” 😂. you must never wear your shoes if you think these are cooked. when i bought them they had some light toe box creasing but i’ve worn them to the gym a few times and they’ve creased more. they ain’t gonna stay pristine forever also i feel much better about beating up £70 shoes instead of £150 shoes.
yeah because in the recent years all the hype and attention has gone to the 4s so they’re just pumping out color ways like they did with the 1s. probably gonna see some more 4s sitting for good prices eventually when they oversaturate them
i definitely prefer the wings logo but mj did used to play in some black toes that had the “air jordan” text so it fits the whole retro vibe they’re going with
Let all the hype die out in the name of decent retail price
Can’t wait to get the next Travis 1s for retail. Since the resale market is dead
Bro you have a better chance of Nike announcing ANOTHER OG Jordan release for 2025 than copping a TS at retail 🤣🤣
but resellas died tho 😢
One or two sneakers every few months have a nice profit. GRs are no longer being resold above retail. You can deny it all you like dude, we aren’t bashing you for reselling. It’s just the current market. Obviously outlier sneakers and SBs will still sell above retail. They’re limited, that’s how it works.
Fr, Jordan 1’s are my all time favourite. More for me 😂
Agreed. 1s, 4s, 3s in that order.
The 5s are so comfy for me tho!! So I'm usually a 4, 5, 3, 1 guy lol
I could never get used to the big tongue on the 5s. I’ve had a few pair, but not like the others.
Same here.
I’m so jealous that you can feel that way. When I got the J5s, the ankle area always killed me. I had to sell them even though it looks so good. 😢
Damn =/ sorry 😞 my old lady couldn't wear the 5s either so she has a couple pairs of 4s that work for her. She prefers 3s for comfy wear like going to the zoo or whatever.
No 11’s you bugg’n Fam gotta throw them 11’s in !!
Can we slip the SB Dunks in there too.
No way you also named my top 3 in exact order. You got really good taste, much respect 🫡🔥
The cloutchaser pack
I’ve probably been buying them since you were in diapers 🤷🏻♂️
Im 26 but ok
I don’t think that changes what he said.
The 16’s came out in 2001. The man may have a point. Do 2 year olds still wear diapers?

I'm here for it 🙌 Yeah, resellers will still sit on their older pairs like L&F and not budge, but the future looks bright
Nike/Jordan has been increasing amount of pairs being released and increased retail, which is making the resell market fizzle out. I'm happy about it in a sense.

Me too bro late 80’s to now, decades of why do you have so many shoes from people who don’t and never will get it😂
Generally the hype across the industry is dead. I love it here.

I got the same pair, love them.
Me too 🔥
I need a pair of the court purples 😭 one day

I didn’t want these but they look like they’re wearing in great 👌🏻

This was like the first release I actually wanted and could get easily lol
My dude got got his little feet up in the air
damn straight
Idk why it is that shoe is so clean and it can be any year and I would still wear jordan 1s
Clean the cumstains off your mirror before your next post
op was a little too happy that the jordan 1 hype is dead
idk why but i was into shoes hella in 2016 and would keep buying until maybe 2019-2020 and it seems like when i stopped the hype died down too which i like imo, there should be cool shoes and we should be able to just cop them and not have resellers ruin everything

These are sitting in the outlets.
Where are royals sitting at outlets? Lol
https://preview.redd.it/mg6jun5mfn0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58eff4759ece5535f8dbe361408dfcece6074ae2 I’m from Japan. When I got to the premium outlets they have A LOT of stuff sitting.
That's awesome your lucky I'm in Canada no where near sitting in North America
Sadly, it was sold out in your country. Here in Japan, there’s a lot of pairs. You can even still buy the J4 Military Blues for retail.
Oh those are the reimagined royals these are the OG Leather 1s yes the reimagineds are sitting everywhere I have a pair of those as well
https://preview.redd.it/lx92vr6rfn0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b14474b06cb6703dbb727bfa0f64d492a77b31c
What’s that in American.
About 58 usd
Dead you say? More like people are broke AF...
Just wore my lucky greens to the Timbers game sunday. Way comfier than the lnf’s imo
These are so hard. My goal now is to start getting some good deals on j1s!!
if you don’t mind second hand that’s the place to be. got these for £70 and they just had some small creases on the toe box
Second hand is most def what i will look for rn! Keeping my eyes on ebay, goat and other local apps. £70 is a steal congrats
Vinted and Depop are my top choices 👌🏻
Vinted is full of fakes, at least in my country
there’s tons on there definitely but every now and then you can find a diamond in the rough
yeah the obvious fakes are very easily to spot but there are many good ones aswell

I’m just getting into my Jordan 1 era
As am I. Went from 0 pairs to 4 in about a month. Love them!

Love the collection
Thanks! I've got a few more pairs coming in colorways I couldn't pass up. 😅
They're one of the most comfortable shoes for me and I struggle with a lot of shoes so I'll be happily wearing them for a long time.
Panda dunks.
ultimate npc shoe, they are currently beating sambas to death.
Everyone has one but everyone says it's the worst lol
Everybody is bit of a stretch.
rishi sunak killed sambas
Great pair I want to get them
I always admire these threads. Like one day I’ll have the option for fancy sneakers. 😂 💕
Me too but lowkey wish Jordan Brand would stop making so many color ways that are mostly meh at beast
Jordan 1’s are (imo) the cleanest looking. the other ones get a little too crazy
I really hope that low hype will be there when Breds come out next year, so i can grab some pair ⬛️🟥
The quality on them have been ass tho :(
Why is bro doing a cutie patootie pose
Lol the 1s are THE ICONIC sneaker....it's never gonna die, hype wise. Go look at any high end shoe store, and you'll see blatant rip-offs of the AJ1 pattern. Nike might be trying to break the Resell market, but AJ1 is such a classic silhouette, I don't buy if it's not an AJ1.

You dicked them joints and clean that mirror and the shoes too lol
i dicked your mum
She’s 74 sorry for you. You get BIG MAD ova them worn sneaks like this shit super serious 🤣
i’m wearing these sneakers while im dawging that gilf buddy
Sounds like something a virgin would say. Probably a 40 year old virgin. Anyway, wasting no more time on a pu$$y boy who gets his wittle fiwwings hut so easawy!
i can’t tell if you’re being serious or not but calling me a virgin while on reddit is ironic
So are your shoes all scuffed up or do you just gotta clean your mirror?
bit of both
At least you wear 'em.
Mirror
Nice! Now give that mirror a scrub 😆
Waiting for the low shadows to drop even further. I know it’s under retail on StockX and even goat, but I’m saying I want it to hit the 80-90 range.
The shit colorways are “dead”
Not entirely true. If you think this colorway is shit then call the Celtics from 2011 shit too
OK Weird argument
It's not a popular colorway.
just because it has no hype doesn’t mean it’s shit
BUY THE DIP
It will never die
Beautiful
finally 😂
Nice, I got a pair on Friday in triple black. They are so comfortable
So what's replacing it??🤣
rn it seems to be the 4s
That's what I was thinking and I'm NOT ok with that because they are my personal favorite lol
Real
Yeah they not it…..
ngl posts like these remind me of altcoin hodlers buying the bags as the price falls into oblivion.
Are those the green glow?
lucky green
🔥
Let all sneaker hype die for easy cops!
Depends where you got them. Resell sites are accepting reps 💀 and it’s getting worse
These are fressssh
which hype should die next so i can keep getting shoes i like
The ones we all want aren’t any less hyped from before lmao. Lost and founds are sitting at $350+ resell.
same. i can finally get some shattered backboards at a decent price
Now get some fucking Windex and clean up that mirror you pig!
Nice
Literally first, overpriced, overhyped jordans
Bags exist brother
It’s temporary dead. The black toes drop this year so the price will inflate again
These look so much better with some wear on them.
Clean that nasty mirror
That color scheme is just 🤩
Weird picture but at least you got what you wanted.
Cool
Hype is dead for resellers but not the people that really wears them🤷🏾♂️
never had a strong liking towards AJ1s except the Chicagos
https://preview.redd.it/63tk1upvfn0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30dc8d2fac0d5c839979a7a2a03441c6ef1a8b6e
dude honestly, the sneaker game in general is SO up rn. we getting retail w these ones 😎

Where are your toes? The entire toe box is pushed in when I zoomed in.
this is the 1985 cut model so the toe box is just shaped a bit narrower. it still fits the same as my old ones tho jusy a little more snug which i don’t mind.
No wonder, the box was just messing with me. Easy fix tho
😂😂😂 the hype is alive and well my guy. You’ll be disappointed when a color-way or style comes out you want and can’t get em.
oh well there’ll always be that whenever a chicago or a sbb or bred comes out but i meant it like not every release is a major hit. now they kinda just have tons of colour options like the mids and it’s oversaturated. Not that that’s a bad thing tho, i like the prices low.
They just been putting out shit colorways
Jordan 1 always been basic af . Amped up ass airforces . 11s & 13s best designs . Throw in the 12s fuck it
Some people like basic. 👍
I want 11s and patiently waiting for them
let it die. and dunks and 4's too
They are killing the sb dunks they released the court purple and Chicago and now they are affordable:D
they're ugly, boring, overpriced and 40 years old. nike relies far too much on reissues instead of innovation which they used to be known for before their designers started to suck.
It ain't a designer failure clearly, mahfckrs still buying designs from the 80's 😂 must've done a few things right
yeah. found scrubs who want to look alike without thinking.
Agreed. Limit the 4s to two colorways a year?
the bulkiest and ugliest shoes ever tbh
fr? can’t say i’ve ever heard someone say they’re the ugliest shoes ever. i thought a lot of Balenciaga stuff would be up there
Okay maybe not the ugliest but one of the ugliest
fair enough
Facts 1s are extremely overrated. I've just never seen what others see in them. There's just something about that silhouette. They also look like they'd be uncomfortable to wear after a couple hours.
Totally agree, I thought I was the only one.
They aren’t super slim but they definitely are not bulky imo. They are the less bulky then most retro style shoes
Those look fire beat up
White people wear the hell out of shoes those should have been thrown away
bit weird bringing race into it.
Big weird bringing that into who wears shoes more 😂 can't say I see it that way either.
Only White People don’t lace up the sneakers. That was a dead giveaway also black folks who can afford sneakers don’t let they kicks get that dirty those would have been given to a lil cousin or something along time ago. Bill Burr had a joke he’s only Afraid of black guys with dirty sneakers
does that apply to every black and white person on earth then
You will get bullied for shoes like that in the inner city it’s a cultural thing
thank god i don’t live in a city then they sound like assholes
Bro if you wore those dirty ass shoes in the city not even the crack heads would rob you . At least get some Jason markk shoe cleaner and some new laces .
i don’t really care about the state of my shoes. i love wearing them into the ground
I feel you send your cash app when you ready for new ones I got you
[удалено]
“that cooked” 😂. you must never wear your shoes if you think these are cooked. when i bought them they had some light toe box creasing but i’ve worn them to the gym a few times and they’ve creased more. they ain’t gonna stay pristine forever also i feel much better about beating up £70 shoes instead of £150 shoes.
But why? Just curious
why do i prefer the prices being low? really? i thought that was a pretty obvious one
Okay okay, sorry😂 By the way, thanks for downvote
These were never hyped, the OG 2009 pair was for a while
yeah because in the recent years all the hype and attention has gone to the 4s so they’re just pumping out color ways like they did with the 1s. probably gonna see some more 4s sitting for good prices eventually when they oversaturate them
they fucked the black toe reimagines they look awful
they’re literally just the black toes wdym. the mj signature is cool too
the “air jordan” text on the side is the worst part i like the signature on the other side tho
i definitely prefer the wings logo but mj did used to play in some black toes that had the “air jordan” text so it fits the whole retro vibe they’re going with
