Just hit a goal and am rewarding myself with my first ever pair of Jordans. Want some 1s. Something versatile I can still make a statement with.

Looking for inspiration.

Get on stockx and just browse all the 1s, then post what you settle on

I don't know your price range, but i think checks both "statement" and "versatile" off the list. Probably about $400-500 on secondary, depending on what size you wear.





Willing to go a little more into the $600 range? These are the most versatile and best looking highs released recently. Well regarded, too.

Also suggest checking eBay or r/sneakermarket. I just bought some Bordeaux 1's for about $30 less than StockX. eBay authenticates shoes, as well.

Yea infogired stoxkx would be good for inspiration.

Waiting on pending status for those Jordan 12's and pink coral dunks for the wife...

True, tons of inspo on StockX. It feels like I can scroll StockX for hours looking at Vans that are unattainable.

My shadows are my favorite J's.

What is the board's thoughts on sizing up and coping a "woman's" shoe if you can't find the men's version?

I have no problem with it. Most people have no idea which releases are for men and which are for women.

Better to think of them as standard sizes and extended sizes than womens and mens. As far as I can tell, there is zero difference. Granted, there are some shoes that are female exclusives, like the AF1 shadow. As far as I know, they don't make that style in a men's shoe if you care about that kind of thing.

A few that have caught my eye. Looking forward to when I hit a few more goals so I can branch out.

The denims won't be my first pair but I really like them.

Next time to you go to a shoe store in person, ALWAYS go check the "womens" section in your size. Just subtract 1.5 or thereabout from your size in mens

Happy Sneaker Friday!

I love just about any premium 90s, and these are ultra nice. Speaking of, I'm about to the point now where I'm going to hold our for SE, limited, craft, etc. versions of most shoes, unless I'm just in love with the colorway. The quality of the materials is just night and day. I never understood all the talk about materials until I started looking, and now it's obvious to me. Take these "craft" AF1s I'm wearing today. The leather on the upper is ridiculously soft and supple, and they are incredibly comfortable as a result. Suckers just mold to my foot.

Add 1.5 to your size in men's, yea? Size 12 men's is 13.5 women's, I believe.

Yea I guess I worded that weird. If you are looking at a womens shoe you gotta subtract about 1.5 to get the corresponding mens size

Same reason I buy kids shoes…

5.5Y in big kids = 5.5 in men

And I think part of the reason why Nike releases "women's" shoes is to exclude some of the guys from trying to get them. Either they don't fit them or if they do, they're too caught up with not wanting to be seen with wearing a sneaker that was released for women.

This gives more opportunities for the female sneakerheads to cop.

Honestly I think it's supply issues. The shoes are unisex and sneakerhead have no issues coping women's shoes but they generally don't make the large sizes like mine with a woman's shoe.

My wife does this and gets lucky all the time. Even with shoes just sitting on shelves. She is a 6.5Y

so a men's 13 is a women's 14.5?


so its essentially unattainable then...

Still pending on the 12s, so I'm guessing that's an L. Also missed on the women's dunks in the Nike app this morning. I think wifey would have really liked em.

Women's sizes only go up to a 10.5 in mens, I believe.

I thought this would likely be the response from the board. Thanks for the encouragement. I've been looking at the Jordan 1 Tie Dye. Not sure why, but I love those and think they'll be my next cop.
