While this release is being distributed to many stores it’s still not as much stores that received the ROY AJ1. There is also an increased demand for them thanks to the Chicago colour-blocking and 3M details that tie the shoes into the movie.

These are currently trending a bit higher in price than expected (and more than early pairs of the AJ1 ROY). StockX sites in the $300 USD to $400 USD range. I’d expect this to settle in around $250 to $350 with sizes 8 to 9.5 being the most expensive. Please keep this in mind when entering a raffle in Europe.

We highly recommend participating in all Canadian raffles and all EU/US raffles that would get you a pair for around $330 CAD shipped with duties.

Select Canadian boutiques will be releasing the AJ1s on Friday. Check below with each store for details!

These will release online at Exclucity (10AMEST), FootLocker.ca (10AM EST) and Nike.ca (11AM EST).

Exclucity has been notorious for only putting up 1 to 2 sizes per size per release so I wouldn’t hold out much hope for them. You won’t have any shot at this release if you don’t use the monitors in slack with ATC links.

We recommend having an account with your address stored on FLCA and being logged into it for a speedier check out. I have seen people have an easier time carting on mobile than on desktop so keep this in mind.

Nike.ca stock unknown as of right now but expect many errors and issues at launch.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
