l'm sorry but it's really hard to help you. Plus i have never bought an AJ 1 low or high.
The only thing that i can tell you is, i have the 11 Low ie 11 Bred 2022 and i went a 0.5 size down.
But i feel when people are watching me, they look small for my body.
So if i had to do it again i would...
I still think the pic is fake. Even if you make a zoom on the shoes, you can't see a difference between the lace and the tongue.
Watch the midsole, you can't see the jumman. If you can't see the jumpman you can't make a real distinction of the laces.
Forget this idea of a blue tongue!!
Watch the video and make a pause at 0:07. There is a lot of light. With a shiny black tongue, i'm sure it can modify the color, or make a mirror effect, or a 3M material.
You know, this era used a little bit of magic powder.
Did I really look like I was laughing?
No no I was not joking.
It is just impossible that this shoe had a blue tongue just for Mike even if sample was made sometimes, but for this shoe i have some concerns.
I think it is an effect of fleeting light because the tongue was a brillant black.
If you...
I had them when i was young and yes they were heavy but not like the retros for sure.
I played in my garden and at school during 6 months, and destroyed them because they were really comfortable and you could fly with them.
The leather of the toe box was really thin and fragile so the toe box...
I have the playoffs 22, so i can make a comparison.
The leather of the cherry's is better.
The leather really make me thinking to the one used for the 13 WR OG.
I also noticed the right tongue goes on the outside like the OG 13.
Right shoe 482 gr and left, 492 gr.
The cushion is weird compare to...
The tech specs was different inside the shoes. Every material was soft. The air sole unit was huge, the midsole was soft, outsole was also soft. The board last was also different. I think it was thicker than the retro, but could absorb shock.
Air Jordan 10 also had a board last. So maybe the 9...
The comfort was the same without the board last and i would say less good because you loose a important layer so your foot in the shoe is placed differently. Even if you add anotehr insole it will be too much thicker and you will have for sure a pinkye toe issue.
The shoe was still a brick. I...
I'm not sure of that but the 5's also has board last. So 5, 6 and 8. OG 10 had board last but not the retro.
Inside the 6 2014, it was just very very hard gum!! In the aqua the gum was really softer, and interesting to imagine a cushion.
If i could double retros to keep one in the box just for the smell, i would do it.
I remember, even if the aqua are better than the playoffs, aqua smell nothing!! Maybe the water smell lol
The playoffs 6, still has the same smell as the first day, but it is not an OG smell.
But you are wright...
I remember the smell of the shoe when i opened the box of the french blue and the bordeaux!! It was just sensationnel!!
cardinal smell was ....... but i have to say the 8 playoffs, it was an OG smell and i was pleasantly surprised. But it was not enough strong. The right shoe smell was lower...
You know when i watch weartester videos, he is never really excited by the retros. Even if he smells the shoes at the beginning of the video, he is never 100% satisfied.
Lot of youtubers used to say "it is what it is" or "could have been better". I'm not alone man
The cardinal 22 against the...
