It seems lately that most colorways, but with often different color blocking are releasing as mids and lows, as well as the highs. For example - there were those orange and white mids, followed by the electro-orange highs, and now a OG low. Same with the NGs, albeit an all-white mid. Maybe I’m...
Custom or replacement? Foxtrot makes replacements for original Jordan 1 tongue tags. Don’t know anyone that does customs, but that could be dope - especially for a gift.
So the greatest lies every told are the devil isn’t real, Trump won the election, there was no insurrection on January 6th, and you have to watch inane videos on SNKRs to hit? Got it.
To some people, a raffle ticket win is a month’s rent. **** is gonna get worse because al the productivity and wealth keeps getting channeled to the top 0.01%, and a lot of people are getting pushed out. Add that to FauxNews saying dogs, like people, should be kept hungry to be obedient and...
Then true to size. Those flyknits ran huge. I wear a normal fitting TTS 9.5 in J1, snug/less creasing with thin socks 9.0, and I could actually fit a 8.5 in those flyknits.
So for you, definitely stay TTS.
So you put 2015 Chi uppers on a Jordan 2 sole? Or did you just get some super plush looking 1.5? Did I miss the background on this somewhere? They look dope though.
Kids still get chased off from any skating that’s not in a skate park here, so if it legitimizes skating a bit more, I’m all for it.
Note: not a skater - just cruise and e-skate to work and the coffee shop. I just like seeing the kids do cool ****.
I've watched enough of the 85 restorations on YT to say that the original was either a urethane or polyurethane midsole. A 100% rubber sole/midsole would be hella uncomfortable! The foam in the collar also tends to harden and crumble in the 85s as well. But almost every original Jordan 1 needs a...
I believe they are rubber cup soles, with a polyurethane midsole, with the air unit enclosed ("encapsulated") within, which is why you don't "feel" the air unit. The polyurethane is somewhat protected due to the cup sole, so I believe that is why they last so long, unlike AJ3s which start to...
Columbusing and appropriation is part of white culture, particularly white Anglo Saxon derived culture. We’ve been doing it since the 1400s, maybe longer. “Cultural takeovers and acquisitions“ like we’re some corporation.
Um, we had MTV and BET and magazines and tv shows. It wasn’t like we didn’t have media - it was just more homogenized. There were less sources of influence when we came up.
I teach in high schools, and I would say there are definitely sheep in that herd, but there’s a lot of kids doing their...
Man, that’s $25. I can wash those and replace the insoles and they would look almost new. Even if they were crazy creased it’s nothing an iron and 20 minutes of my time can’t fix.
They haven’t hit the market much here in Singapore. They were on offer to be shipped, but they had Phat toe-boxes with much ”thicker” cuts of ”leather”. They were quite easy to spot, in my opinion, so I wouldn’t be too worried.
