Air Jordan 1 OG NRG High "homage to home" - April 19, 2018

[jaysfordays9]

Why did they down grade the quality of shoe strings on this release? I hope they don't change to these on future releases.

I think in their eyes it’s an upgrade since it’s more of a knitted feel

Is the quality that good? All I see is that it's just tumbled leather

 

[jaysfordays9]

I still don’t see how these are both 160. I wouldn’t buy those all stars if they were 100

It’s softer. I’m thinking pics don’t show it well. More of a feel thing I guess.

Got my 13yr old a 10 and my 9yr old a 4.
Both pairs from SNKRS
Couldn't get my 12 though

Much nicer in person

Two things I notice that separates it from the other 1s.
1. Seems like just not certain parts of the shoes but most of each leather panel has decent leather.
2. The black side leather of the bred 1s side is softer, hard to explain you have to touch it. It's different than say the shadow 1s or even my bred 1s from 2016 which has more of a harder plastic feel?

Thats the big debate, whether or not tumble means better quality. Everyone has different views of quality as well. But the general consensus at this point is that atleast Jordan is giving us thick, softer, more supple to the touch materials.

I just wish they couldve done the last OG retros like these H2H's or the F&F Banneds

Here for the on feet pics. Post them up!

At first glance and feel non numbered pairs look and feel about the same as numbered pairs imo
Maybe give a slight edge to numbered pair for Chicago side

This is my better pair:

If it ain’t ballsac leather I don’t want it

 

[souljaman22]

I know SNKRS is sold out. You might be able to catch an unclaimed pair locally.

Sold out. Go look at StockX.

I love these shoes. Those calling them clown shoes or bowling shoes can go kick rocks.

 

[montemex23]

Can anyone really justify paying resell for the numbered version over regular? Any real difference ?

No. Gimmick.

 

[thehoneydripper]

Is anyone else's pair more banned than chicago? You can tell by the perforations and the lack of gap around them, that mine are not balanced.

 

[promac]

Why does StockX place such a premium on sizes 8-9.5? Or I guess the better question is why the market dictates that kind of price difference between the bigger sizes.

More people wear those sizes so they are more in demand. Higher demand = higher pirce

More people wear those sizes? I thought it was because they made less quantities of those sizes

Happy for y'all, but damn they're ugly.
Tacky af.
I'll concede though, I did own a pair of those Scarface af1s.
