They're the first remastered one. From pictures, they're higher, the leather is softer and it's obviously has a crazy collaboration attached to it.
I will say $185 is pretty high for an AJ 1.
But it doesn't matter since I struck out on four windows. People say the blocks were blocked but I saw people mention ATCs were still able to cart maybe not at the level expected but Nike still has a fair purchasing issue.

I don't know what it is. The last few weeks (especially with work) have really gone my way. I feel truly blessed.
I just rolled out of bed, tried and hit. Stayed up yesterday/today & failed on NDC HK, NDC JPN, NDC EU, Hanon, Kickz, etc. Finally hit manually on NDC US!

Still waiting on RRS to ship mine out...looks like my pre-order didn't make the cut on the first stock on my size 10, should be good for the next wave in mid-January, though.

MarkMan so lucky

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
Lucky indeed, but at least we know he's not gonna flip them on ebay or anything and doesn't use bot bs. That he truly loves & collects J's/sneakers makes it easier to deal with. Seeing them already on ebay for insane prices makes me ill every time.
He got my size too hah

I've never once sold a pair of shoes and if I have it was at retail to a friend. I've traded/stocked up for trade bait sure though.
Just thought I'd post here but the past few weeks (non-sneaker related) have been some of the most memorable and successful weeks for me as far as life goes. I'm on some zen like state right now where I am just winning/plowing through everything. I want to maintain this.
Best wishes to all. I hope you have a good rest of 2014 and best wishes in 2015. <3

I won a raffle this morning and got a pair, was pretty lucky since the raffle was only for yesterday so not a lot of people must have signed up or had my size
My bro really wanted them so I basically entered for him so its his .
He got me the 20th anniversary ps4 so it evens out

Congrats MarkMan! Even though I'm salty as fuck for missing out, I'm glad real sneaker enthusiasts were able to cop.
My mate went to check out the line at a local store and was telling me that there was people camping who didn't even know these were collabs, let alone know who Hiroshi Fujiwara is lol.

Happy New Year sneaker GAF!

The quality on the Fragment AJ1s are insane compared to the most recent retros. The shape is completely different and more true to the OG. Other than the obvious changes with the leather, the entire toe box area is revamped, the stitching, the construction even in some places really show that JB wanted to re-imagine it from the ground up and make it true to form in the remastered sense. There are so many details to point out, it's amazing. Here are some pics I snapped earlier compared to the black toe 1s.

Happy new year, y'all!
Caught the ultimate holiday alley-oop from a friend over Christmas, and managed to get a pair of the 2014 black/infrared 6s for retail. Not even putting them on until Springtime.
Finally, FINALLY a Jordan release for retail price...I didn't think it was possible for me, lol.
I additionally closed out the year by picking up the Air Max Penny 1 "96 ASG" black/royal - which is also my first Air Penny *ever*. Wanted those since I was in the 7th grade!
Top 5 pickups in 2014:
- Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 "Hot Lava"
- Nike Air Force 180 Low (black/white/royal/red)
- Nike Air Max Penny 1 "All Star Game 96"
- Nike Air Huarache Run (white/blue/scream green)
- Nike Air Jordan 6 (black/infrared)
Honorable mentions to the Adidas Top Ten High OG (in the white/red/blue/grey colorway) and the Reebok Kamikaze 1 (in the OG black/white/running green colorway).
Hopefully next year I'll be able to grab some stuff I missed out on this year/slept on (Baohaus Dunk High SBs? Cali Dunk High SBs? Baron 1s? Air Command Force white/volt? Adidas Metro Attitude Hi "Knicks"?)...and maybe, just maybe, I'll pick up something that isn't a retro on the low, like some Lebrons/KDs/Kobes or something.

A lot of variety. Love it.
Adidas had a great year.
The ZX Flux came swinging out of the gate with the Digi/Ocean/Prisms, the triple black that Kanye wore and the mi app.
Tubulars were a nice takedown of the Y3s. Wish I would've gotten the New Year and Consortiums.
The Wish SL Loops.
The King Pushs.
The original Stan Smith X Pharrells
Big Sean Metro Hi
The Boosts.
Seriously, they're knocking it out of the park.
I'd say Adidas and New Balance are both making heat. Reebok isn't bad either. There really is a lot of choices. It doesn't have to only be Air Jordan's.
Was working on a top 10 when my wife surprised me with these. I'm speechless.
HOLY SHIT.

Yep, Adidas had an incredible year! The EQT '93 may have been my favourite shoe to retro last year and I really wanted those King Push, but they dropped at a bad time for me.
And daaaaaamn at those Versaces!

I still can't get over not landing a pair of Frag Jordans. Only pair of sneakers I truly wanted even before the damn hype and they're going for like $800+ for size 10.5's.
Ugh just messed up.

well the hype for 1s has been here for the last 2 years, but yes, no one should be paying 800 dollars for a pair of jordans.

Just got back from CES today and saw I got a care package from my friends at NIKE while I was away. :O
... also got to check out Urban Necessities Shop in Las Vegas. It's an awesome consignment shop and I actually felt like it had the best vibe out of any sneaker store I've been to (and I've been to a lot)... Ended up getting another Gift of Flight Pack and Cool Grey XIs there. Some of my friends came by to CES and hooked me up with another pair of my all time favorite (Legend Blues) <3 !
... All in all... A pretty eventful week/weekend for sneakers. Now I gotta figure out where to put this stuff >.>
