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

[ogmcmxcii]

Mongrel Mob (red) versus Black Power (blue) have been around since the 60's/70's. The old dudes are old school - they rock leather vests, ride Harley Davidsons, have fights with other gangsters in pubs and clubs, but they leave regular folk alone. The young ones are the Crips/Bloods wannabes that cause trouble with everybody. Can't wear the wrong colour otherwise I'll get hit.

smdh that's sad to hear can't even enjoy the OG cws n ****. Be safe fam and nice pick up 1+

My first pair of Retro OG's - $215 for DS Size 11. The leather is so soft and that colourway is just too good. I can't really buy any Breds or Royals because not only can I not afford them, in my neighbourhood we have really bad gang problems - that red vs blue gang buzz. So black and white is neutral, and this OG CW was affordable and too dope to ignore.











Unfortunately I didn't tell the seller to label the parcel with a lower value and mark it as a gift, so I got stung big time with custom tax. Lesson learned for next time.

Damn you can't even get away with wearing black toe 1s because the sole is red and upper portions too **** ****

^ Thanks for looking out man! Appreciate it. I might be able to get away with Black Toes cos they're not as red or blue as Breds or Shadows. I just have to be careful about where I go. Please know that the "gangstas" in my town pale in comparison to most real gangstas over there. These guys love to cause trouble and I don't want to give them any reason to mess with me cos I can't fight for sh*t lol.

Anyways back on topic, @airedweezy  and @Prettyboyian  - those are awesome collections! Fire

Lasers 1 or 2 pairs to custom... Shattered back board and chicagos and I think I'm done with jordans for a while........ Can't rock jordans with suits n look Wall Street lol

 

[ghostmanq]

That's good to hear man



Really don't understand why people purchase shoes and never wear them...

The peeps that have to wait for a "special moment" to unds a pair of kicks lmao

Wear your kicks!

Special moments run out as you get older sadly... Rarely find "good reasons" to unds shoes like the high school and college party days... Now I'll break out a new pair just for no reason lol

94s > banneds.

Banneds are over rated imo.

And you gotta dye the outsole and the tongue tag. I don't think this would be project for an amateur. That customizer should have put a disclaimer on that. LOL. On the bright side if you mess out up there are plenty of pairs available to start from scratch..

Out of curiosity, does the dye seep into the outsole? Or is it just on the surface so that once the sole begins to wear, the clear outsole shows through?

iDK, I've never dyed an out sole before.

Banneds are the best quality ones I have had i my possession better than any 94 and I understand u can still wear them but the leather is so much better plus I could an extra 17 years out of them hypothetically

 

[seekaz]

Never had the frags or 85s in hands I think FRAgs are the most overated ones IMO but quality wise having both the 94 and Banned the banneds are are hands down better no question on the quality

Fiending for a decent pair of 1994s at a good price my G. That shape and cut looks heavenly

Has anyone in here ever thought about customizing a pair of Lasers into the White/Neutral Grey His?

 

[formosa]

Okay folks... Can I use soap and water to wash my Fragment? I believe it should be fine... But I am worried that I might mess up the leather.

Thought about it but dying the lining grey would be a pain and the sole is clear, so it would be a challenge.

Soap + water is fine for leather. It's actually cheaper than most sneaker cleaners out there

Agreed. Can't go wrong with soap and water on a regular leather sneaker.

Sneaker cleaning products are just soap and water mixed lol...

 

[brsantana]

blk/red or all red

I know I'm late but this in the OG black and red should've been the laser model

[kintan]

Ain't feeling them. It's cool that the used the 94 mold on those though

[njavier03]

black and white lasers wouldve been better IMO, but those breds are pretty clean.

 

[Sneaker P]

White/blacks would have been dope in laser.
