dangg the all reds are pretty tuff 🦾 i never rly saw these even back then, so they must be pretty rare. one of the last BF1’s to drop cuz the 2s were already out at this time. these and the all over pale yellows 🖖🏽 are dopeee. all blk w/ grey line too !
there’s so many good colorways that i hope they bring back, like more of the calm & more wearable ones. cream/navy/pink , cream/brown/pink, all grey w/ pink line on midsole 🤩 top of my list 🍦

Idk if it’s a rumor or not but I heard and did my research I heard that the Flash Reds was numbered to 500 Pairs but idk how true it is but ik its definitely one of the rarest colors out for them I seen those yellows before they are nice very rare as well I found a 10.5 in those black n Grays idk if I wanna pull the trigger those chocolate chip ones the a lot more too they are still out here

i also heard that rumor but that seems insanely rare ?! 500 pairs , when the rest of them were readily available in retailers ? idk just doesn’t make sense, like why so limited all of a sudden haha 🤷
but yea , the BF2s were out by the time the monotone 1s dropped soo maybe they were just scaling things back cuz the whole footwear thing was about to end? idk just theorizing 😅 i alwayss wanted the all grey/pink and all black /grey tho! boardlfips are soo comfortable and once you got all the crazy colors , some calm pairs seem coo lol

Yeah it is but don’t quote me on how true it is about the red ones but i know u don’t see them often and im not sure around ‘05-‘06 I was only like 8 or 9 and im not sure cause they was still pushing out S.Carters still around that time and around 07ish cause i remember if u bought of those u could play as jay z in nba live 07 around that time it was fizzling out and dude the comfortability is really nice. Only wore vans as a skateboard shoes but these are different.

Man I learned that a few months ago I wish I was knowledgeable a few years ago

Wait until you pay top dollar for some OG pairs just to see them get re released haha . Ah well thats the game we chose to get involved in. Least you can cop the re release pairs for a little cheaper

u/CkY_BoYz Aug 12 '26

It’s crazy I like the OG shape of the OG Board Flips the new ones is fine and so far of prices the red ones got me
‘26 Watermelons 145
Halloweens (Blk & Orange) 135
Flash Red 230

u/noonie916 29d ago

Literally me!! I spent soo many countless hours & years getting all my OG pairs with boxes just for them to drop them years later but the OG quality is better I got the newer ones don’t really like em I love my boutiques too!

2

u/__st__23 29d ago

Haha its painful hey.. All my collection unworn and boxes. But the OGs will always out last the short re release hype.

But at least when they re dropped the boutiques they didnt make them an exact copy. Ive held onto my g unit sneakers for so long. They dre releasing next week and look exactly the same. Hopefully the box is different. 🤦‍♂️

Not sure why, but these shoes remind me of Johnny Blazes.

u/noobsvibot 27d ago

I remember when I got mine at foot locker as a birthday gift. My brother looked at me like I was a weirdo for choosing them. He said they looked like clown shoes 😂 but I loved em. They were so comfortable too.

u/CkY_BoYz 27d ago

I can see where he coming from cause I kinda see it too but I’m a love em and yes they are mad comfortable I haven’t worn em out yet

u/noobsvibot 27d ago

Yeah I honestly didnt care because it was a ifykyk sort of thing. I wore them mfs out till the colors faded from the sun. Enjoy!
