For those of you lining up to buy the Air Jordan 1 Royal Blue

Let me back up just to say I got nothing against adidas, I rock whatever I find to look good. I'm not the type of guy to be "loyal" to a brand, **** all that. I got adidas, jordan, and nike in my closet.


I'm just saying more people got on a pair of retro's than they do Lebron's, yeezy's, or nmd's. That's the only point I'm trying to get across.

You know who else likes collecting closets of sneakers?

This guy.

How old are you guys

I never understood the fascination of lining up for shoes or spending $400 for a damn pair and wearing them once. I mean, shit, it's like spending $20 on that plain white Kanye T-Shirt to never wear it :oldlol:

Never once lined up, never once paid over $200.


Still got a closet full of retro's, nmd's, penny's, whatever. Who wears a pair of shoes only once? We aren't NBA players...stop assuming so much.

I couldn't tell ya bro, I live in Clearwater. When someone says they live in Tampa Bay, that could any city in Pinellas, Hillsbrough, or Pasco. Go cruise around one of these days and you're bound to find a spot.


If you're ever in Pinellas though, the most popular spots are Coachman park (clearwater) and Rio Vista (st pete).

[QUOTE=Bosnian Sajo]I don't think you know what you're talking about...and that's ok, since we're only talking about shoes, it isn't serious.


But you came in here looking to get arise out of somebody. Which is what consists the majority of your posts, poking a bear with a stick. I'm honored that you picked me today, is it because you miss airtupac and you know we both from the same area?


He'll be back, buddy. You'll have your "od'd a blunt" argument in no time :cheers:[/QUOTE]

You're a bear? :roll:
You are hardly anyone to fear on here
Poor widdle Sajo got angwy because his shoe ego was in question.
10/10 posters on would recognize OP as somebody knowledgable about shoes over you. He's never been wrong. He's had shoe threads created about him. He's showing actual physical proof of what's happening in Philly. He wasn't even beefing with you and you jumped in like drunk in a fight between two strangers. Then you disagree and go off on a tangent instead of simply stating your perception from you are from. You do that often on here filling your own boots thinking you are this authority on judge of character and knowledge. In reality you are this awkward nerd who got bullied in high school. It's funny watching you over compensate on here.

LOL at you shoe noobs. **** outta here with your <100 pair collections.

Dudes outchea with no idea what they talking bout. Copped Chicago and Black cat 13s last night for 25% off, two days ago all star 6s were on sale for 40% off. Last Black Friday I picked up about 10 pairs of release Jordans for 50% off. Only idiots buy release day unless it is a hyped release. I can pick up motorsports 4s rn for 25% off if I wanted to, but I know the stock is so high the discount is just gonna go up if I wait one or two more months.

And before you tell me I don't know what Im talking about, step into my closet and take a look. Over 300 pairs kid

Same here in Philly. But I got someone from Tampa telling me that that were apparently an "anomoly" for still having them on the shelves. :lol like Tampa can compare with New York or Philly for shoe selection and availability.
But if you tell these shoe newbs you're a "fraud" :lol

Its the same ****in hype beasts who ****ed the game up for a three or four year period when GR's were being lined up for. As soon as these Klunds figured out they couldn't flip em for 20 bucks they stopped lining up.

You copping Carolina Lows tmrw? I still got my OG pair. Hella yellowed tho

I got my OG's same day I got the red lows. Yeah, mine yellowed severe and I kept them DS. I thought it would be a cool idea to change the laces then lost the OG laces :facepalm
This is what I hate about this release is that it devalues the OG pair. What's craze is the resell of this release will exceed the value of the OGs :lol

True or false: Yeezy's are far more hypes now than any Jordan release?

My OG pair ****ed from playing ball in em all through junior high. I don't think these will be too hard to cop, lots of stock available similar to cherry reds and navy gums that dropped last year. Re sale will be maybe 20-30 dollars over retail max if that.

Of course Yeezys are far more hyped. Your looking at 750-1K plus for most yeezys resale. Which GR J's cost even more than 500 resale? Unless you talking exclusive like Oregon PE's, Quais or Doerns. Yeezys have taken over the market, I don't know why either they are trash in my opinion. Just a status thing.

That's what I'm trying to tell these noobs but they don't seem to have a clue. Bless honky seems to think that the Motorsports are more hyped then Yeezy's :lol
These noobs can't come to terms that Yeez'ys took over the game.

Glad to see at least somebody is an actually knowledgeable shoe vet that can agree and set the record straight :cheers:

Two things.

What number you got on those 16's??

Abs boaf y'all are complete idiots.

Blah blah blah.

Overall FUCCIN business.

HOW MUCH A YEAR DO YOU SPEND ON J's??

HOW MUCH A YEAR ON YEEZYS?

HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST YOU TO GET EVERY JORDAN RELEASE FOR A YEAR?

HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST TO GET YEEZY FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR?

IF YOU OWNED A SHOE STORE, WHAT WOULD BRING MONEY IN FOR THE YEAR??


Y'all are FUCCIN idiots. Straight up.

Y'all Sittin here typing about all the jordans you have and or gonna get, but J's don't run the game??

What?

Which one is it stupid fuccs. ??!?


Hateraid dodged this before,,,

HOW MUCH WOULD JORDANS GO FOR IF THEY MADE AS MANY PAIRS AS YEEZYS??????

:lol

What if they made one pair a year????

:lol

You stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid fucc

They'd go for 10k +.

Gtfo. MOark ass Asian.

And poast a pic of your 16's number.

Yeezys took over Jordan's for these simples fact

Jordan has a hundred non retros models, dozen retros models per year

Adidas only releases like 6 color ways for one model and competes with Jordan's

Yeezys sell faster than Jordan's

Are you ****in stupid or something? Brah, I talk about J's because I only buy J's and other basketball shoes. I don't **** with yeezys or NMDs or boosts or racers simply because they aren't my style.

Obviously if they didn't GR a new colorway of J's every ****in weekend there would be more hype and demand for them. Its simple supply and demand you idiot, but I wouldn't expect you to understand that you proly aint even got your GED dumb nikka.

Yeezys are more hyped and more valuable simply because they have been marketed as a limited shoe and they produce them like that. Like i said, if we talking Oregons, Quais, Doerns, or any other super limited J that only certain people can get their hands on, then theres a comparison because they only make LIMITED amounts.

Jordan's are simply overproduced right now, thats why theres not as much hype unless its for OG releases IE Space Jams, Royals, and 11's really. You think motorsports 4's are limited? They released two weeks ago and I can get them for 25% off.

**** outta here with your raggedy ass pair of 16s. Lets see your closet dawg then lets compare ****in stupid ass noob.

People who line up for the release of basketball shoes are losers.

Thank you, finally someone who understands simple supply and demand. Jordans retro every weekend, who has that type of cash to spend 200 dollars every weekend on a non classic colorway? Thats the reason they sit now.

Exactly what I've been saying to this fool but he can't seem to get it through his thick skull:lol
Instead he repeats the question over like he thinks it will get a different answer. Bless is a shoe noobs with no clue who thinks becuase he built some small collection over the last 2 years he has some sort of knowledge of the game.

[QUOTE=Bosnian Sajo]But why are you getting so mad when we're saying the exact same thing?? That was my whole point posting in this thread....[/QUOTE]

Brah i agree with your hypotheticals, but thats all they are, hypotheticals. Realistically I could go to the mall rn and pick up more than one pair of every release this yr minus royals because the markets too saturated. If i went lookin for yeezys, Id get laughed at.

I agree they would be just as hyped if they were limkted, but the reality is they aren't anymore. Maybe three yrs ago you could argue GR Jordans were hard to get, but over the last year and half the market is way down

[QUOTE=Bosnian Sajo]But why are you getting so mad when we're saying the exact same thing?? That was my whole point posting in this thread....[/QUOTE]
But you did claim that Philly was some sort of anomoly becuase the pairs you felt shouldn't be available still were. Which they were and still are. Because they were still available Philly was some sort of out of touch shoe community. And you kind of went a little off the hinges if I got to be frank. I was willing to discuss but your tone got all insulting.

The point you're trying to make I get, but we're talking about hype and what authentic shoe collectors and shoe heads are after. The general public may have more Jordan's by the masses but shoe collectors and hype beasts have evolved. NYCPG sounds more like me in which we've been in the collecting game for a long LONG time and got to see the evolution. Not that we think Adidas is better than Jordan's, but the demand to the shoe culture has changed. Put it this way, my dad would buy Jordan's because of familiarity. My son wound buy NMDs because of status. See the difference?

I don't collect as much, and I will never buy Yeezy's. I make fun of my friends for buying them and overspending. But I am full aware of the shoe culture.

MY point was more mfers got on a pair of J's than they do these adidas shoes! And I'm not just talking about Yeezys...ultras and nmds as well.

Idk man, the black cat 13's and the white 13s have been sold out for a while over here. You can't get them at the mall or online, I've checked. So it's still weird to me that it's available in your store.

As for NMD's having a higher status than Retro's? Come on, man. Complete bull.

Nothing personal btw, it's just ISH man, trying to bring some humor into the subject when I go off on Philly :lol

More mfers drive Escalades than Telsas. But demand for Telsas are much higher.
It is supply and demand. You're defending the supply but not necessarily looking at demand within the shoe culture.

Again, like.i pointed with my dad and my son. Dad buys Jordan's due to familiarity. Son will buy NMDs due to status. Hype for a release of Yeezy's goes beyond a different realm of demand where the resell goes way beyond its actual value whereas like NYCPG is saying the resell for the Carolina Lows may be 20-30 above retail. I tried to sell my OG Carolinas about 3 months ago and I couldn't even get 10% above retail.

Your point is noted but I don't think your seeing it through the eyes off people who've been collecting for 10+ years and over 100 pairs.

Lol, I get the whole Philly vs LA thing. Leave that in the NBA lounge

Well I showed you a pic on that very day. I guess you got to accept that bigger metro cities will have more availability. I'm in the same boat as NYPG where these shoes are available at disco and even reached outlet malls. Like I said, come to Philly and fill your boots!
