why didn't you just get them from SNKRS like the rest of us??
jk
But I did.
I have 2 pairs.
The pair pictured was received before the SNKRS drop.

Some older af1 does crumble. Mine black spruce jewels crumbled on me a while back and I could only tell when the outer midsole look like it was bubbling out. This happens because some af1 air unit is incapsulated in polyurethane than sinks into the grid pattern on the heel of the rubber sole.
Now there are different style inner mid soles but this is the most common from what I've seen. This info is just regarding polyurethane Inner midsoles.
You can see the midsole on the bottom crumble so bad that only thr air unit was left. The midsole crumbled and dryed up. The dried particles escaped from the inside. If you see a sand like material come from your og sneakers, its not sand, its your inner midsole crumbling.
A1Restorations on Instagram does midsole swaps all the time. Not sure if this pair is worth the investment, but a good resource for restoring your old 1s
looks like glue, my pair has the same on the right shoe.
Dope photos thanks for sharing! Yeah the padding was a big change even from the linen and HK retros. A lot less than those, but still had the plush softness.Got my pair and went to grab my OG pair to compare.
they retro is a great attempt. Only thing I would say that is lackin would be the padding. The og padding is crazy! Better than most nike sb kix and especially the tongue.
the og also doesn’t hVe that 3m hit like the newer pair does. Maybe from age.
also,
The size sticker in the shoe was replaced with “upper contains synthetic leather”
Overall I would rate the retro a 9/10 compared to the og
Heard a lil about this. What happened? Something to do with having a pair of fakes right?Surprised never seen anyone post this pg/fat joe fiasco
