I'm absolutely in the camp of 'buy what you like' and I'm not hating at all - I realize everyone's taste is subjective. Just funny to point out how it's been a trend since early last year of what seems like a bigger emphasis on mids and non-OG lows.
The ones on top are mids. The bottom ones are those PEs they gave out to some of the JB athletes a couple weeks ago (Link). They definitely look like some Tron 1s.
This feels like a pretty cynical take, but I completely agree with you. I'm just hoping they give us at least one big GR in a good OG colorway in the 85 cut next year.
I thought I remember seeing a couple of them pop up this year. The only 'catch' or whatever was they had a Jumpman on the tongue and only came in women's sizes, but I think they were labeled Jordan 1 High.
Damn. Yeah it was announced he was taking over JB again around this timeframe. I’m kind of mind blown by this lol.
Now I’m super eager to see what gimmick those ‘New Beginnings‘ joints are going to come with.
Check eBay - not sure if this color is available, but I've seen the blue ones there at least. You can probably find something by searching as broadly as 'clippers nike shorts', for example.
I don't know if these are available at retail anywhere. For whatever reason, it's only certain teams...
This makes me super curious as to how the design process at Jordan Brand works, from concept to release. Like, is he the final say on what comes out?
I really can’t disagree with what you’re saying at all - 2017/2018 saw a lot of great releases of 1s, but 2019 (and looking to 2020) seems like...
Yep - thread link. Hasn’t been active since September though.
(In case that link didn’t work - https://niketalk.com/threads/zoom-air-jordan-1-high-og-r2t.685637/).
Yep. The SBB 3.0 nickname started way back when the colors were leaked, back when everyone thought this would be a orange/black Jordan 1 in Bred color blocking. Then the leaks kept coming and everyone ran with that nickname.
Really hoping this isn’t a sign of the direction the 1 is headed, man. Hopefully these New Beginnings joints offer some redemption, but I’m honestly not too optimistic at this point.
It's definitely not official, but I'm guessing the source for the price hike rumor was the SHOF post on the Hi 85s that are dropping next year - (https://shofknows.com/2019/10/15/air-jordan-1-hi-85/) - he mentions a ~$200 price for them.
I think one of the other leaker accounts mentioned a...
“SHOF” posted a product code (link) and it doesn’t start with 555088. I remember seeing a few pages back someone mention these coming out with some kind of twist lol and I personally wouldn’t put it past JB given a lot of the 1 releases we’ve seen this year.
But either way, I’m eager to...
The TS1 Lows and I think the Unions have the insole graphics basically printed on as part of the actual insole. Those aren't coming off with wear. I'm sure it's more costly to do that, but would be nice if the plain Nike Air logo got the same treatment in all J1 releases.
And those damn...
FWIW Sneakerfiles on YT (link) says there aren't even samples of these out there currently. If that's the case, Foamer could have only gotten his hands on a UA pair. Fakes of these definitely exist - there are a couple of different rep batches out there and have been for the last few months.
Same for me on SlamJam - no idea why. I've tried multiple different browsers and operating systems and even tried placing an order with a non-working card just to see if it would get it to save. No dice.
