I don't see a lot of super rare stuff in those pictures, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are mostly all legit. Of course, they are going to charge you significantly more than you'd pay on secondary.

They are probably mostly legit and most are likely 75% more expensive than what you can find online.

Many of those sneakers have reps on the market, but the quality of those batches is noticeably poor. I believe that they're all the real deal.

I am already sorry for posting this, but...
The wife and I started watching Ted Lasso and at some point in Season 1 I noticed his grey shoes with red laces and that turned into a rabbit hole of Jordans in Low Smoke and then I realized buying those shoes was not simple.

Do I still want those shoes or should I give up? If its not nike.com or at academy I don't really know how to buy shoes. I am also a believer in trying shoes on unless I already own a pair, so...

But to answer your question, your best bet is stockx or goat. They run true to size.

Crazy trade chart on those. The size 12 peaked at $515 for a pair of AJ1 lows, which is nuts, and going now for $168.

The Lasso effect. I was surprised how much the cost has gone down since the last time I looked.

Same. Might actually get a pair now.

Yep, I think I brought them up much earlier on this thread. I had the same thoughts. One day a younger dude saw me lookin at a pair and quietly told me that they were all fakes and not to buy from there. They are definitely pricier than GOAT from the few I have inquired on in my size.

That being said, from touch and sight, I could not tell a difference from several J3 versions i have. If they're fake, they're damn good.

It's possible they just buy on the secondary market and price them up. You're better off just buying online for that reason alone. But yeah, every time I go to that mall, I have to stop by to take a look.

EDIT: Sorry, I should have checked above responses before posting.

If you go to a Nike outlet (or, really any store like Footlocker, etc), there's a good chance they'll have a pair of 1 lows sitting around for you to try on these days. It won't be that exact colorway, but you'll get a chance to see how that shoe feels.

Multiple pages on this thread are dedicated to those Lassos. Good times

Looks like the red cement 4s are shock dropping here in 15 minutes

Yeezy sign ups today on Confirmed as well.

What time? Maybe I can FINALLY get a pair.

Open until Aug 7. Threw in for the Foam RNR for resell purposes.

I was surprised the black toe lows were just sitting when I came in at 9:15. I'll take em.

So i actually hit on those A MA MANIERE X JORDAN AIR SHIP SP "SUMMIT WHITE/BLACK". Got an email yesterday about them…

---

I saw the email after this post and Holy **** those are freaking amazing

Yes. The first website raffle i have ever won.

You can just buy the compacts. I grabbed the slate and also own the navy and white. Most comfortable shoes ever

Should you size up a half size with the compacts like the normal 350s?

I don't. They are more sock like than the 350s and fit more true to size.

I'll send you a video of them if you want.

It's cool. Thanks!

I do on mine.
