Caved and got Royals off eBay. Used a gift card to get the price down to $350.

im sure Hiroshi Fujiwara was worried about what dusty magoo was gonna say about his collab considering his designs incorporate minimalist themes

A Little Comparison,

Honestly think the Fragment Unions needed yellow ankle stitching and a yellow UN/LA tag rather than white ankle stitching and black UN/LA tag. Although that detail is small, it would've made it a lot less "Top 3" AJ1 imo.
I don't know how to use Photoshop or AI, but if somebody can do that edit, that would be awesome to see :nthat:

It’s funny because the original photoshop when this colorway was first mentioned was with a yellow UN/LA tag and yellow stitching. No one knew what the color blocking was, just the color code but everybody assumed yellow tag and yellow stitching. Even when the shoe was long revealed with how the final product was, Kith still used the original photoshop as the product image for the raffle
:lol:

Such a small detail, but looks so much better like that imo.

Did they have pairs before and this is a second chance? Or are pairs still coming to stores that didn't get them before?

Making their world on feet debut at Project Hail Mary.

I love this shoe.

And yes, the laces are tight.

They’re not “hitting” outlets…. People are returning them because they can’t flip em.

Enjoy these times while they’re here… these are good, we’re just at a low point in Jordan 1 hype, or hype in general.

And I can’t say yellow is the move on these, but it’s looking good in Davey’s pic.

If the hype on Jordan 1s ever comes back around, the varsity reds will be a thousand dollar shoe.

Definitely would’ve been five years ago.

Can't wait to wear these.

The yellow laces might be a bit loud and played out at this point. But after so many years of salivating over pics of the Storm Blues with the yellow laces, I had to.

And I do think they make the shoe pop in a way that none of the others do.
