    Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

    Either you honestly don’t give a **** about materials, like a lot of people, which is fair, or your sense of touch is messed up. SBB’s, Royals, breds, all have the same soft black ankle collar, but a different plasticky leather for the toe and side panels. Not sure why it’s so inconceivable that...

    Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

    Because the black collar section is actually plush leather. The swoosh in synthetic, and the black toe panel isn’t the best, kinda similar to what’s on breds and royals.

    Do you own SBB’s stillmatic? Smokey is asking a valid question. The swoosh on SBB’, like the remastered Chicago’s and Black Toes, is synthetic, much like the ‘85’s. On the Court Purples they are leather. Have to say at first glance when I got them in I think the black toe panel is maybe a...

    Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

    I’ve had that stitching issue on a few pairs, and worse issues with tongue stitching. After you break them in you honestly don’t think about it anymore. Life’s short, bigger things to sweat about.

    Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

    First ever win on End. Absolutely shocked as I’ve taken nothing but L’s from them for years. Figures it’s for a pair I’m on the fence about hah. Like others, really wanted a purple colorway, but have been hoping for chi or bred colorblocking first.

    Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

    Let me preface this by saying I’m totally fine with creases... long time Jordan 1 Collector and the wear is part of the appeal for me... That said... anyone else seeing this kind of wear on their 2016 Black Toe? Fine raised wrinkles that almost look like the paint wasn’t sealed properly...

    Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

    The black sections look much better on your pair than on mine and others I’ve seen. Mine get less of that classic crease, and just look kinda wavy. Very odd. How’s the wear and tear to the sock liner after rocking them so steady? One big problem I have with ones is the sock liner gets holes...

    Nice work! What did you use to yellow the soles?

    Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

    It’s not even the tongue really... the ankle collar has a really think ring of padding, and the toe box is extremely narrow. I only ever owned the cement version tts, but based on those I’d say go at least half up for more comfort. Could get away with tts in a pinch, but half up would be far...

    Can’t remember who posted it, but read on an IG post this morning that each colorway of the best hand in the game was dropping in a different region, so this might be another Igloo/Pink Art Basel type situation. In which case the hard decision will be made for most of you. Edit: pic uploaded

    Has anyone been able to successfully enter the SNS raffle? Just keeps spinning for me on a couple different devices.

    Fakes are almost always available before the legit shoes release. They’re up in the real factories stealing pairs and recreating them in their fake factories and releasing them before the legit ones get released. You can see the fake sellers “review” videos out of China on YouTube before the...

    Wow, these look like the quality of the true Banned J1 from 2011. Don’t dig the concept, but wish we saw this quality on all releases.

    Officially joined #glittergang / #glittergate... For what it’s worth, im in Canada, which till now I thought was immune. So might not be a climate thing. Also, paper was removed from the box as soon as I got them, so that likely isn’t it. Has to be some kind of chemical thing in the materials...

    Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

    Well, thing is, the rare airs came out a long *** time ago before these were ever slated to release, so it wasn’t about choosing one over the other. For me, I think the rare airs honestly look better. The black tongue makes more sense with a black toe box. And even though the black and white...

    Guess if you can't tell her, you're going to have to sit out shadows haha. That's a great wife though to pick those up for you regardless.

    Does no one else think a tumbled white side panel, but full grain white toe box on the game royals makes them look like a cheap cobbled together mess?
