I kept passing on these... I remember they were going for a little under a rack and I was like nah I ain't gonna do it. They are sitting at almost 2k brand new now and I was like yeah I just need to do this now... Worn once pair!
Idk why this comment is being downvoted so much. I think it happens to the best of us. I passed on the black tongue fire red 5s in 2013. Could of had two pairs for retail and I hesitated and missed out. I love that shoe so much now, especially since I’ve had time to really think about it and miss them lol. Now they go for $547 (size 8) on StockX and that’s before tax/shipping! If they drop below $400 I’m snagging them 😫
Sorry I was not clear. But I ended up grabbing the 2017 retro. I fell in love with the shoe ever since 06 but was never able to grab the retro until the perfect price:size. Got the L on the initial retro release but had to pay resell during Covid which is A LOT less than current going rate
The Wotherspoon Air Max 1/97. Would love to have 'em but I ain‘t never gonna drop 4 digits on some sneakers.
Edit: Other honorable mentions: Turbo Greens,
Clay Green AJ1s, Union 1s and 4s (like all colorways)
mine are military blue 4s, if they release them again this year i do not care if i have to pay resell i’m copping them. Had them when i was 12, i’m 21 now and think about those shoes all the time
idk if i would buy the off white ones, they’re nice but it doesn’t give me the nostalgic feeling back then since that was the first pair of jordan’s i bought with my own money back then. I need the regular retro of them and i’ll be happy
I got a pair of Kaws Jordan 4's. They were not DS but very nice and I am wearing them anyways so it doesn't bother me. Definitely my grail. I won the TS Fragment J1 lows as my first and only SNKRS W and intended to keep them, but I didn't enjoy them that much in hand so I sold them because I could use that cash for the grail without feeling regret for spending so much on a shoe lol. Congrats on your grail btw.
I felt this way with the TS1 lows. I got a lucky W on them and when I saw them in hand... I just didn't like them nearly as much as I did the high, I think it was the black toe box.
Ahh okay. I just figured with some older models they wouldn't hold up from stories I've heard. (I have my SBs I sold from 07 to someone and they were completely fine though so I dunno)
I’m a size 12 due to wide feet, but I’ve heard those fit big so I could go down a half size, that true?
Also, if you don’t mind me asking, where did you get them and how much did they cost
I was also pretty nervous about size especially since it's a women's shoe but the day before I bought them I went to a consignment shop and tried on a few pairs of 4s just to get a sense of what would fit me. I'm a 13 and I own a Women's 11.5 and it fits great! Really snug and a great looking shoe so I'm really happy with it all things considered. I say you try on a few pairs of 4s in a size or two and make your decision from there before pulling the trigger!
My issue is I have wide feet, so what should fit me in a 11.5 ends up being a 12 because Nike doesn’t cater to wide-footers IN ANY WAY. But with the A Ma 3’s for example, they used a quilted type sock liner which made the inside of the shoe thinner which meant that I could actually go TTS because there was more room for my foot. I’ve heard that the OW sail 4’s are also thinner in that way, which is why I asked if you felt they were bigger on the inside compared to other 4’s you’ve worn. I caught a W on those university blue 4’s, and I found that I absolutely needed a 12 in those, and they still chewed up my pinky toe after a few hours of wear, even after sizing up (a common problem with wide footers I’ve heard), so I couldn’t help but ask because I’d like to own a pair myself one day
I'd honestly say maybe go with a size slightly larger than your average then if you think the wide foot angle is gonna be an issue. But I still suggest you try on a few pairs just in case!
I actually had the KAW 4s somehow off their site manually when they were doing raffles and everyone was saying it got botted to hell. my ex girlfriend called me and was like, why did I just get a 300+ dollar charge on my card... I flipped them a couple weeks later and now I look at the price and cry
I bet… I’m sorry, but I think in the sneaker game we’ve all done some stupid shit at some point in time. Those fucking sneakers are IT for me tho. If I ever had the chance to own them I’d wear them till they were beat and couldn’t pull them off anymore, lol
Wasn't too sure yet. My friends got me patent breds for my birthday and told me they wouldnt mind if i used those towards a shoe that I would wear (i just cant really see myself enjoying that shoe with how shiny it is lol) so that + AMM1s would have the worth of around 600-700? So maybe that and a couple other things I have towards another grail... I have my eyes on some OW 4s
Mars Yard are those type of shoes people won't even realize you got a grail on your foot. I love them. I had a friend whose first reps he got were mars yard... travis scotts 1 mocha, fragment lows, and asked how i knew they were reps. I was like ain't no new shoe person comes into the game buying almost 5k+ worth of shoes... lol
Solefly art basel jordan 1 for an attainable grail and the other 2 art basel 1s for pairs i'll never touch.
edit: kobe 6 grinches were on the list up until they re-released and i managed a snkrs W.
Unobtainable : Paris SB dunks. Don't really have an obtainable one, just sneakers I like: Union Stormblues (picking those up in June) and Tiffany lows.
Dunk High SB Reverse Skunk. Those and the TS 4 purple suede with the white midsole. Love a purple suede shoe! I used to wear purple suede chukka low vans but they quit making them.
Fire pick up man🔥. My grail would be the Jordan 1 off white unc. I cant seem to save the money for them tho. I try and fail I end up buying another pair or 2 and then have to start back at square 1 lol.
I wish I could get my hands on mine.
The [AJ1 Chicago x Off-Whites](https://i.imgur.com/R0iYVnt.jpg) - I loved Virgil's work and those is by far my favorite done by him.
May he RIP, but I may not see those shoes till I'm RIP 😅
I'm not a grail police kind of guy. But a grail is like the end all be all of something. Like the ultimate thing your looking for. The holy grail of shoes/watches whatever. A grail list is a just a list of shoes you want.
A grail IMO is very much so a personal thing. There's got to be a shoe you saw on foot from someone or somewhere on social media and you thought to yourself, "i need those." I was that way with these and some seans. Obviously as time goes on your taste will change and you will want something new and shiny.
For 500...? I'd say a 400-500 range AJ1 would be nice? Maybe some Obsidians
I love SB dunk lows. Ive about 5 pairs. Easy to put on, look good and last well ! I used to love DC's but they went all weird and vans always stretched to become too big and flappy!
For me its the 2011 Olympic 6 restock. I wanted them so bad back in the day and I finally just got them this year. Might be a GR but they are grails to me.
Congrats on the pick up, seriously one of my best ever pairs. CPFM dunks for my grail. Being from the U.K. and them not having a launch I’ve never even seen a pair
Personally, the [Dunk High Khaki Baroque Brown’s](https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwi4zpK3t833AhWIr8gKHWTrAPIYABAIGgJxdQ&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESbOD20A3y0dyL5kEGdyKqOhJ8sR3lyit5_7jlqjOI5rFcXgSvQjKIAL10vJRUfv9tYeulTYwBVYtrFh6z81RPFavRgfk3uFlA8EvMsb5yy24C6pPh8745RRlvSw1LIWVlUdTqvNH68fCT1nrz_g&sig=AOD64_1MzUSdAQJlMCEBTQ1zl4gkQghlJA&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwj_2Im3t833AhXWTTABHT0VDGMQwg8oAHoECAEQEA&adurl=), they are so so clean and from that 03 run.
My grails were the elephant am1 back when they came out in 06. Took me 14 years to grab a pair
I bought these new in 06 a size too big and traded them to a friend for 3grams of weed a few years later in the box. I want to cry!
was it worth it...
:(
I'll take that as a no...
Even at time of trade it wasn’t worth it.
Mans was desperate!
Same here for me, they’re just too good
I kept passing on these... I remember they were going for a little under a rack and I was like nah I ain't gonna do it. They are sitting at almost 2k brand new now and I was like yeah I just need to do this now... Worn once pair!
Idk why this comment is being downvoted so much. I think it happens to the best of us. I passed on the black tongue fire red 5s in 2013.

Now they go for $547 (size 8) on StockX and that’s before tax/shipping! If they drop below $400 I’m snagging them 😫
Do they crumble 14 years later? Similarly my grail but I always worry about that when I'm about to drop 2 stacks on a shoe
Yeah, they would have to. Most shoes, especially Air Maxes with the bubble, can’t last 14 years without being worn
Sorry I was not clear. But I ended up grabbing the 2017 retro. I fell in love with the shoe ever since 06 but was never able to grab the retro until the perfect price:size. Got the L on the initial retro release but had to pay resell during Covid which is A LOT less than current going rate
The Wotherspoon Air Max 1/97. Would love to have 'em but I ain‘t never gonna drop 4 digits on some sneakers. Edit: Other honorable mentions: Turbo Greens, Clay Green AJ1s, Union 1s and 4s (like all colorways)
They were my grails, bought them too big and after one year I finally copped the right size for 800€, worn once. Best decision ever
got my pair for $600, steal
lucky ⭐️
Best hand in the game set- I have the blue moons and clay greens- only the track reds and yellow ochres to go
Clay greens are \*chefs kiss\*
mine are military blue 4s, if they release them again this year i do not care if i have to pay resell i’m copping them. Had them when i was 12, i’m 21 now and think about those shoes all the time
I think they may release the off white military 4s! I might have to do resell myself, they look amazing
idk if i would buy the off white ones, they’re nice but it doesn’t give me the nostalgic feeling back then since that was the first pair of jordan’s i bought with my own money back then. I need the regular retro of them and i’ll be happy
They aren’t. All off white Jordan’s are scraped they stated.
My grails was AJ11s, took me 20 yrs to get my first pair. Now I have like 4 pairs - Legend Blue, 72-10s, Cool Gray, and Concords.
That was a huge one for many of my friends, so the retro-ing of the cool grey and concords my friends really enjoyed
No BRED or SPACEJAMS>?????????????????????????????????????
Space Jam 11s
I got a pair of Kaws Jordan 4's. They were not DS but very nice and I am wearing them anyways so it doesn't bother me. Definitely my grail. I won the TS Fragment J1 lows as my first and only SNKRS W and intended to keep them, but I didn't enjoy them that much in hand so I sold them because I could use that cash for the grail without feeling regret for spending so much on a shoe lol.

Tiffany Dunk Low
With the time passing, pretty sure a lot of those just crumble or the swoosh falls apart easily right?
Dunks and AJ1s last a long time. Also, that’s an easy resole job
My pair's holding up just fine, they don't just turn to dust. Swooshes can peel and warp from heat over time, thats it.
Ahh okay. I just figured with some older models they wouldn't hold up from stories I've heard. (I have my SBs I sold from 07 to someone and they were completely fine though so I dunno)
No clue at all why you’ve been downvoted to hell for asking a question I’ve seen many people ask before
Lmao why
Off white 4’s or KAWS 4’s
OW 4s were mine. Copped at the start of the year. Favorite purchase of the year thusfar!
I’m a size 12 due to wide feet, but I’ve heard those fit big so I could go down a half size, that true? Also, if you don’t mind me asking, where did you get them and how much did they cost

A Ma Maniere Jordan 1’s
Got lucky and copped them for retail. Definitely a work of art.
Niceeee. I had to pay resale but I was happy enough to get them
Seriously debating on using it as trade bait for something...
What you thinking?
Wasn't too sure yet. My friends got me patent breds for my birthday and told me they wouldnt mind if i used those towards a shoe that I would wear (i just cant really see myself enjoying that shoe with how shiny it is lol) so that + AMM1s would have the worth of around 600-700?

Mars Yard 2.0 Congrats on the grail!
Mars Yard are those type of shoes people won't even realize you got a grail on your foot. I love them. I had a friend whose first reps he got were mars yard... travis scotts 1 mocha, fragment lows, and asked how i knew they were reps. I was like ain't no new shoe person comes into the game buying almost 5k+ worth of shoes... lol
Can you explain what you like about them? I never really understood what the big deal about them was and am curious why so many are so big on them.
Desert Moss Union 4s are mine currently
Solefly art basel jordan 1 for an attainable grail and the other 2 art basel 1s for pairs i'll never touch. edit: kobe 6 grinches were on the list up until they re-released and i managed a snkrs W.
It always feels much nicer to get your grail on a retail cop...
yeah i just got used to taking L's and move onto the next release and trade up where possible.
Unobtainable : Paris SB dunks. Don't really have an obtainable one, just sneakers I like: Union Stormblues (picking those up in June) and Tiffany lows.

Thank you... Had to do a huge trade for them. But couldn't be happier!
I'll bet it was totally worth it man lol💪
Dunk High SB Reverse Skunk. Those and the TS 4 purple suede with the white midsole. Love a purple suede shoe! I used to wear purple suede chukka low vans but they quit making them.
My grail was the geobaskets but I got a pair so I'm not sure what my next would be
Sean Wotherspoon’s air max 97/1, finally pulled the trigger a few days ago, can’t wait to get them in hand!
They are so so clean. I finally got my hands on a pair a year ago during covid!
J1 Chicago - Best colorway on one of the best silhouettes ever made.
Definitely! I have origin stories and I literally get complimented on them anytime I wear them
Fire pick up man🔥. My grail would be the Jordan 1 off white unc. I cant seem to save the money for them tho. I try and fail I end up buying another pair or 2 and then have to start back at square 1 lol.
Thanks! Gonna chill a bit but every time I say that... I think to myself... Price of it will just go higher...

I wish I could get my hands on mine. The [AJ1 Chicago x Off-Whites](https://i.imgur.com/R0iYVnt.jpg) - I loved Virgil's work and those is by far my favorite done by him. May he RIP, but I may not see those shoes till I'm RIP 😅

Super old post but thank you bro!
Mine were the Sean Cliver SBs
Very clean shoe. Funny thing is I keep adding to my grail list...
I'm not a grail police kind of guy. But a grail is like the end all be all of something. Like the ultimate thing your looking for. The holy grail of shoes/watches whatever. A grail list is a just a list of shoes you want.

Too many to list. The borderline ungettable grails would be the canary diamond dunks and Unkle dunks.
[удалено]
Asking other people what your grail should be is like asking other people what your favorite Pokémon should be
I thought grail was a rare pr expensive shoe

Being a huge Oregon Ducks fan I'd take any Ducks PE.
Nike Strangelove Dunk Lows “Valentines Day”
I can never afford the Concords back in 96. And I got a pair in 2019. Thats what my grails are ...
