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

[cheanko]

Man you good. Fakes weren't even around then

Believe it or not there are.this one is an example.

Maybe you guys can help me. I asked a few people and they can't seem to see if these are legit or fake. These 1985 Black & White I's came into today from a fellow Instagramer I follow so getting my money back is no problem. Besides the height, more padding around the ankle collar, you can't determine the factory these were made. No og insoles or laces but one thing that made me believe they weren't real was the fact that the ankle support cushioning has crumbles but when I pinch down, it feels like two thin pieces of cardboard that's very flexible which is very unusual. I took some detailed photos so if someone can help determine these, it would be greatly appreciated. 




















My 1985 Chicago I's for comparison.






















It took me a while but the factory printed on the collar is 9 851101 ST-P. All my other pairs are BY/TY.


On another note, we should update the first page and have all factories listed for each shoe or some sort of list to help people out.

Thanks for posting a pic with both laces. On the fence on which I would go with it I'm lucky enough to land a pair

It always seems to get a response on LC thread takes a while. Found these For 250 and wondering if it's possible to determine if these are real from the pics provided, any help will be appreciated and ripped. I apologize in advance for posting here.

Passed on UNC's.

did you do a cash out?

I didn't even know they had a cash out option. In no rush, but what do they offer with that option? Depends on what they have? Gave them $12k in shoes. I would have taken $9k on that spot

A little bit died inside every time they put those damn big FC stickers on each box. I hate them damn stickers.

Yeah if you have them (15 pairs) worth 12k I'd wait for the extra 3k unless you think some of it will sit

These look off:

- Color off

- Leather too shiny

- Border around the tongue label isnt milky white

- Too chubby in the back

When you realize how much paper is potentially stuck in shoes can't be mad when people wanna move kicks in bulk. Just keep in mind the shoes are harder to find and money comes and goes. I sold a few stuff I wanted to keep over the summer and winded up wasting the money in the casino. Might as well have kept the shoes, now I got no money or kicks

I'm out this biatch. Keeping a few shoes but I just had way too many shoes collecting dust. I barely even get to wear shoes. Just going to keep some 1's, 3, 4, 11, and 13's. Don't need anything else. And even with those, I'll only have the chance to wear 2-3 times per month. Moved on to wearing UB's and flyknits these days. Just can't wear any 1's to take my kids to the park or their games. Gave FC and RIFLA $20k in shoes, shoes I paid less than $8k for. It was a no brainer. Wife was also sick of seeing all of the shoes taking up space in the home. So did i, actually.

This hobby just isn't the same anymore. Copping kicks is too time consuming. Because of that, I started paying resell. But now that becomes even more difficult with all of the fakes out there. This **** just became too much. Not fun anymore. Getting too old for this.

I'd beat my own a s s if i spent the money at the casino. This money is going straight to college funds for the boys.

 

[seandon23]

Yep feel you 100% I'm doing the same with my kicks. selling off most of my Jordans except my Is and XIIIs.

 

[casper90403]

Yeah if you have them (15 pairs) worth 12k I'd wait for the extra 3k unless you think some of it will sit

I don't really want them to sit. Wouldn't want these back after people trying them on.

Gave the following. I don't think too much of this will sit though, do you?:

ROyals
Bred1
Bred11 (2x)
Bred11 low
Flint13
Playoff12
BC3 (2x)
TB3 (2x)
Flip3
WC4
BC4
Quai5
Bordeux7 ('11)
Various Kobe's

Feels good to get some of this clutter out. Finally went through with it.

But best believe I'll be back in it if Remastered Royals and Breds are released.

i ain't sell 20k of shoes lol, it was like 2-3k over a few months

 

[casper90403]

Yeah, if it was $2-$3k, I'd buy something silly like a watch

 

[alp]

yup, so that's why if it's not a large amount like 5-10k plus it's just better to keep your kicks imo

I appreciate it fam. Worse come to worse I'll just walk away with a pair of lasers or something

Haven't been in here for a few weeks. Thread moved

Turned in a bunch of shoes to FC yesterday. Someone in this bunch, royals and Breds parted ways with me. It was time. Thought I'd be more disappointed.

What they quote your Royals for and what size? I'm debating on getting rid of my double :x

You can only laugh about it.

No they would be cheaper. You don't want one of those
