AJ1 Smoke Grey Release Breakdown and Insights

I need to manage expectations going into tomorrow’s drop for the 1s. A majority of the stock is on SNKRS, and then the second most is going to be Foot Locker. This means the shopify based boutiques are going to be low stock because of how Nike allocated it.

I still recommend trying on KITH, UNDFTD, CNCPTS, DTLR, Notre, Nice Kicks etc because they have anti-bot on and it will sell quickly, giving you plenty of time to enter on SNKRS and then go to Foot Sites.

As Hearsh mentioned around 14k pairs are going up on FLUS. Footlocker CA will have around 2.7k, Champs will put up 2.2k, Foot Action has 3k & EastBay has 1.4k. I’m not going to bother with breakdowns of stock for the other companies and only do FL because they have the most.

FLUS
4Y / 4.5Y / 5Y – 1200
5.5Y / 6Y / 6.5Y – 2200
7Y – 3,400
7.5 – 427
8/8.5 – 1500
9 – 1700
9.5/10 – 1900
10.5 – 1,600
11 – 1,110

It goes down hill from here holy…
11.5 – 500
12 – 700
13 – 400
14 – 30
15 – 10

FLCA
4Y to 5.5Y – Under 100
6Y  / 6.5Y – just over 100
7Y – 200
8/8.5 – 300
9 to 10.5 – 400
11 – 200
11.5 – 0 (wtf)
12 – 200
13 – 100

Some other notes:

  • GS pairs are late for Champs, Foot Action, EastBay so expect a restock of that
  • FLCA has more pairs coming, likely will restock about 1k pairs online at some point
  • If you are an 11.5 or up, in the US, I hate to even say this, but your best shot might be grabbing any other size for retail, selling it and buying your pair for resell. The stock on FLUS for 11.5 and up is just horrendous

It has been a rough couple weeks with bot protection but I promise you very good and positive things are coming after this weekend. Hang in there for another week.

Power Rankings for Shopify stores dropping the 1s at 10AM EST:

  1. KITH (because they do live cancels)
  2. DTLR
  3. CNCPTS
  4. Nice Kicks because they will likely drop a bit late or early
  5. Notre because they will likely drop a few min late

UNDFTD is your best option at 8AM EST.

Do not use JimmyJazz tomorrow it’s a pre-order L basically.

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
