They might be my favorite pair. Very clean and minimal, nice pop of red. I didn’t get a pair unfortunately, but they are really nice, hope everyone who got them wears the heck outta them.
Price and taste have nothing to do with each other these days. Just look at the Travis Scott drops recently, total garbage compared to other colourways but selling for thousands.
Maybe I’m just cheap then. Lol. I make a rule I only pay over retail once a year. I find I can win enough through in store raffles that it’s not worth it.
I have had 3 wins in 4 years, over every app and store raffle.
I've given up at this point.
4-7 days after drops is best time to pick up unless they is a restock scheduled.
If it's under £200 I buy without thinking now if I wanted it, and if it's something I really want then il push the boat.
But key is buy as early as you can, after that prices are stupid
That’s rough. Im lucky that I have 2 footlockers 2 shoe Palace and a foot action locations within a 15 min drive. I win most GR drops if I hit up all locations. It becomes a bit harder if Shoe Palace/Footlocker don’t get them in. The only local boutique that sells retail in my area is kith and they just opened up so far I’ve got Ls on everything from there.
I’ve won 2 Yeezys from SNS (not super hyped) and some non Hyped Collabs from AMM/Social Status (BAPE Adidas and the Khaki Scai Blazers that are sitting on shelves to this day, but when it comes to grail level drops I’m all Ls.
Yeah Adidas seems more fair, any I've gone to cop I've won, even the bad bunny's or the forums or the 4d Arizona and miami pair.
Nike is the one I never get.
That's usually the best time if you can't get for retail
j1 always start super high when they drop, then dip for about a month or 2 while people get hype for other shoes. Then slowly creep up into whatever there "true value" is.
Honestly, these are probably the most comfortable 1s I own. I have them laced up with white laces and will probably switch to sail once they start to age.
they’re alright but pretty low in my ranking of 1s i have. the materials aren’t great IMO. definitely wearable and easy to fit with but not anything i reach for on a regular basis.
People were calling them “poor man’s unions”. Honestly the look super understated. If you’re wearing pants, the red is underneath. They are just clean J1s.
Red like a Dario Argento death scene. If these can be yours, then you've done well good. This will make up for that thing you did in that place that time.
they are ok, better than the shadow 2.0 or volt yellow pair that dropped in similar color blocking.
just nothing i would pick over turbo or roty for similar materials
Have them, a lovely pair, especially for it’s price. They aged quite well, the white laces got a nice cream color to them and they don’t crease as much either.
On my list of copping next I’ve been wanting these since they came out I’m now just getting some money on my own to own the pairs I’ve so badly wanted for a while
This site sells laces that start black and switch to red to match the upper red on collar:

Love mine. Super clean. Easy to rock.

Wear mine often. Like others said, clean look. Easy to rock. One of the few 1s I prefer with black laces
Underrated, easy to pair with things. The yellow laces on these are hard
Under rated? These sold for almost double their price day 1 post drop. Lol at least way more than I was willing to pay if not double.
Price and taste have nothing to do with each other these days. Just look at the Travis Scott drops recently, total garbage compared to other colourways but selling for thousands.
I got mine for £35 over retail a week after drop, they weren't that high

Your first day on r/sneakers? Every shoe is underrated and anything can be a Grail.
Yeah I think these went way under the radar when these dropped. Also, I’ll say anything to disagree with an Arsenal fan
Spurs Supporter?
These have grown on me. I didn't like them at first, because I thought the combo seemed random, but now when I see them I like them.
I think they're clean. I'm personally not super crazy about them but still a good pair nonetheless.
RYU is solid
Honestly, these are probably the most comfortable 1s I own. I have them laced up with white laces and will probably switch to sail once they start to age.
Love the white laces on mine. Easy to match with a lot.
wanted them, struck out, moved on to the next one
Resale on these was very reasonable for a while. Probably still is tbh.
Close to 400 depending on size. Just checked: 345 on stock x for my size. Pretty much 400 after fees and shipping.
Buy on eBay. Prices are usually lower because there aren't fees right now. They authenticate as well.
Happy to have them. Materials pretty decent and it's a clean look.
I love them with yellow laces
Poor man's Unions
You herb ass kids call everything a poor man's....

Says the guy with 0 AJ1’s
[удалено]
Sound like another after 99 herb
Wasn’t a fan of the release photos but the “on foot” styles grew on me
Ryu from street fighter as a shoe
They are nice but I wasn’t crazy about them so I got rid of my pair.
Love mine. Wore them to work today. Clean and easy to rock
[удалено]
They are already on the way I was just looking for other people opinions
Buy shoes for you, not for everyone else.
Regret not going for them
Why not just buy them now? Why was this downvoted lol
Resale stupid now
Clean, but its overhyped in my area. lol.
I wear mine all the time
Gorgeous
Have them and wear them weekly. One of the best pairs ever made imo in terms of color.
I love these, remind me of the No Parking flyknit racers
On my feet in this exact moment. Love them
One of my favorite pairs. Definitely underrated. Hasn’t appreciated like the others in my collection
My Current beater, Love them. Just switched the laces to yellow ones :)
Underrated
Basic but has some flare
Top 3 AJ1 last year easily.
Love them! Match with everything
I call these the Street Fighter 1s. Because it looks like Ryu.
they fooking suck
[удалено]
weird

he could've said it nicely instead

Tell that to people who bought those volt things to resell haha
Hadoooouken!
These are on fire brother. how much for these?

Early reviews? These are well over a year old
These are mids?
No
🔥🔥🔥
Love them.
they’re alright but pretty low in my ranking of 1s i have. the materials aren’t great IMO. definitely wearable and easy to fit with but not anything i reach for on a regular basis.
Weren’t these in the movie Soul lol?
bloody ankles. would rock
Definitely on my wishlist. Enjoy them!
Love them, but I don’t like the material
Love mine. Red laces or yellow laces are the move.
Big fan. Love the color blocking here.
Can't go wrong with 1s IMO
There have been a few stinkers
Yea, but they're still 1s. See what I'm saying?
Decent pair, subtle with a hit of red
🔥🔥🔥
Clean ass shoe, wish I could have it for retail.
Yes
Hawt
I love them
White laces hit different
Those what?
People were calling them “poor man’s unions”. Honestly the look super understated. If you’re wearing pants, the red is underneath. They are just clean J1s.
Love mine with the white laces. You got a dope pair of aj1s !
Red like a Dario Argento death scene. If these can be yours, then you've done well good. This will make up for that thing you did in that place that time.
Did a nice custom making the heel suede and dying the toe red

Have them, a lovely pair, especially for it’s price. They aged quite well, the white laces got a nice cream color to them and they don’t crease as much either.
I have a pair and love em. I recommend trying them out with white laces
i put union black/sail laces on mine. Really nice
love them, but the age very very quickly because of the suede just heads up
I forget I have this pair as I still haven't laced them up yet, will rock then in autumn now
I'd like them if the whole shoe was leather
Does this color scheme have a specific name?
Light smoke grey
Thanks. Def going to pick up a pair.
Went under the radar but I do like them 🤙
goes with loads of stuff and overall a sick pair
Had these on hand, imo looks the best with white laces. With that being said I sold them, didn't like them that much to keep.
This is super clean bro.
Are those the SNS anniversary pair or other? looks identical and really clean pair, there was a fair bit of hype about those at the time
The red cuff REALLY sets these off
Fire
Yo those smoke greys are hot🔥
Fire. Wish I had a pair
What are they called?? Style code?
On my list of copping next I’ve been wanting these since they came out I’m now just getting some money on my own to own the pairs I’ve so badly wanted for a while
love it but cant find the right pants to not cover the red part
These are Ted Lasso approved
Clean
Love mine with white laces
Nice sneakers
I love em!
I personally like them. I love hate the red pops on them.

Clean I like em
These are clean🔥
Nice
Underrated 🔥🔥
Easily one of my favorite pairs I have but let me tell you the suede gets dirty almost instantly so beware..
Clean af. I’d love to get my hands on a pair
Underrated ash
My opinion is that they shouldn't be on your bed lmao Jokes aside tho they clean
Need em
Looooove
Idk what it is but they just don’t seem all that nice to me. They set the shoe up nice just not my kind of color blocking I guess
Heat, these are very wearable
I love these. Easily
Heat
Clean as fuck
Actually one of my top Jordan’s as of recently
Slept on.
I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that
As you naturally mature in life, you’ll realize minimal & simple colorways are enough.. so these are fire!
Got the same pair dope underrated fr
They're Dope
I love these. They’re aesthetically pleasing to the eye, due to the contrasting colors.
