Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

^Baby wipes are legit for a quick wipe down. I wonder if the Jason Markk wipes are any better? I'm sure if they are it's not worth the mark up on them.

I rocked my B/W AJ1s in NYC last weekend. When I got back to the hotel and showered I just hit them with a damp wash cloth. I swear 1s are tanks! To think I used to not even consider copping when they dropped

Yeah it was in the H. It was partially my fault for not doing the deal inside the mall, but I was on my lunch break and figured dude wasn't dumb enough to do it in broad day light. Luckily it was All-Star weekend here and the security at the mall was deep. 

I guess it couldve been worst but that sh*t sucks.. 

Which FB group is this?

I've been never bought anything through any of those group but I guess CL isn't any better...

I'll always pick up a buddy if I'm doing these meet ups though...

I read an article in my local paper the other day that a lot of police stations in the area are setting up "craigs list zones" or something like that in the parking lots of the stations, and encouraging people to do the transactions there.

I always meet up with the seller inside of Starbucks and have my buddy wait out in the car (just in case) but a "craigslist zone" would be nice too I guess... lol

The jumpman doesn't bother me at all. Such a clean colorway

I've done a couple of transactions through the FB groups. The group we set the deal up through booted me the same day it happened so I figured he told the mods something. I brought a tool to every other transaction I did through these FB groups. I'm glad I was at work that day and couldn't take anything with me. If I had one of us would have lost their life over a pair of shoes

Since then I only do paypal deals when purchasing or selling after market.

Think your wrong about that. Some of those mall sneaker cleaners are not good for your shoes, I even had a footlocker one that took paint off.

I haven't ran into these kiosks yet, since I shop almost exclusively online; but it sounds like those people that would always try and get you to let them clean your fingernails. Those middle of the mall people are soo annoying, just leave me alone

Nobody got shot. He pulled a 45 on me for a pair of WC '88s. Dude was shaking in his boots with the strap on me. Obviously it was his first time. He tried to tough talk me to come off what ever I had. I told him to take the shoes and burn rubber. He asked again so I gave him my iPhone after thinking about it. That's how the cops ended up tracking him down.

This dude had the craziest story for the cops. They found him with my property on him and he tried to say that I robbed him. Case went on for a year. I got my shoes and phone back when the All-Star game was in New Orleans. This kid even plead guilty to the crime, but denied that he had a gun at sentencing. Dude started balling when he heard what he was getting. Kids these days have no common sense. Today's young men are just imitating what they see on TV, but they're not built like that. The majority of them were raised by a single mother with no father figure in their lives. I did dirt when I was young but I knew the repercussions for my actions. I only got popped on some petty charges and was ready to take what ever was thrown at me because it was my actions that got me in the situation in the first place.

[matters7]

Damn, that's why Gun Laws need to be stricter in the states. Someone try robbing me for my kicks in a meet up, itd come down to how hard one can punch.

 

[plansb]

Chances are that gun was not legal

You're, right this generation right now is just trying to imitate the media and its sad, some can't even think for themselves and look down on others that are different from them, you see I can relate to this because I read comics and manga, play video games not just sports games (Pokemon, DBZ, and others), watch cartoons and anime, and listen to old school rap like 2Pac, NWA, Public Enemy, and more but the kicker is that i'm african american so my fellow brothers and sisters look down on me for not following them like a hive mind.

Props on being yourself, this world needs more indivuality! Being a sheep is as bad as being mutton chops on the table. I think I'm a bit odd, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Stricter gun laws ain't going to stop people from buying guns off the street.

True, and you too everyone is made to be different and thats what I respect, its just the media is hindering the generation, I wish they would see that but some are to in bedded in it to break away, not to sound all like a conspiracy

This just reminded me of the last 3 barz of that new kendrick song

Dude that bought em^

LOL.

Patience wins 99% of the time
If not, there's always another release in 2 weeks.
I'm finally wrapping my head around that now

Good to hear that. That's what I've been saying for years.  If more people had this mentality Nike retailers would be forced to change or lower their prices. I see it happen all the time with non-Jordans.  

 
How much do Jordan 1s stretch out? I'm a TTS length of 9 but I just go with a 9.5 to have comfortable toe space. For the 1s the width is a killer to my pinky toe (ends up red after about an hour of wear) even with size 9.5 so I was thinking about size 10, but It's pretty long that way... would the 9.5 stretch up to the width of a 10? 

I've never tried to shrink anything width wise-just length wise and it is possible but a half size up is the limit.  Wetting the shoes and using a shoe stretcher like this Amazon product ASIN B00KL4OMUE has worked best for me.
