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

[jkitty]

I see #glittergate is in full swing now...told yall months ago and ppl tried 2 clap at me on some BS...this is gonna ruin alotta pairs that collectors have stock piled when they bust em out years from now..at 1st it shines then it creates a white patch that won't come off...beware...be brave...determined

I remember months ago when a few people mentioned it and it was shrugged off. It's already happening to my breds that I wore 1 time. Wiped it off, was back within a week. I first noticed it about a year ago on a pair of black suede SB highs from 05 and then it started on 1s within the last year or so it seems.

Ontario mills Ca. Wish they had a size 9.

Was gonna post the same thing.  I can't believe I finally found these while vacationing in Orlando.  Found these at their outlets for 79.99.

Can someone tell me why the HELL there is glitter all over my OG shattered backboards? I bought them brand new when they came out, and immediately switched the paper to acid free tissue like always.

Finally a nice day in Chicago over the weekend, and I pull them out to wear, and it looks like Peter Pan has been wearing them.

What am supposed to do with these? Can I get rid of it somehow? What the hell is it from?
Never been worn, haven't even seen light in 2 years!

Anyone else have this problem?

Shouldn't of kept them DS for so long.

Great. I'm getting rid of these. They can be someone else's problem.

 

[the 718 truth]

Just wipe it off and wear them

 

[casper90403]

where's the glitter coming from? Paper in the box? My pair sits in a shoe box from the container store so i'm wondering if thats why i'm not seeing any glitter.

 

[CleanestNdaCity]

No one has figured out what causes this glitter yet?

 

[jaklap]

Can someone post a pic of this glitter? I've seen so many people mention it and I've never seen it on my 3 pairs of 1s.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

I just checked my DS Shadow's. No glitter whatsoever.

Just wipe it off and wear them

I got shadows where no matter how hard you wipe, it's not coming off

I don't even wanna take pictures

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

I wonder if leather conditioner would solve the problem.

It happens even with heavily worn pairs. I'm pretty sure it's some kind of a mold, where them scientists at [emoji]129300[/emoji]

It's def something to do with science...if you shine a light on it you can see a rainbow color to it...it's not just salt white sparkles

Someone has some explaining to do at Nike.

 

[Bert.]

Nike poisoning us

Not my pic but the top pair is 2013 black toes DS and the bottom pair are the SBB'S DS.

 

[jkitty]

Best pictures I took after I had wiped it with my finger..

 

[stillmatic718]

Definitely will check some pairs tomorrow. I've only seen it on my Shadows.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

See what happens when JB gets cheap with materials.

 

[kirel]

More than likely has to deal with at the factory how the leather was stored. Either the sheets of leather are currently in a humid environment and not climate cooled. Strange thing is its the black panels, I'm not near a UV lamp but check on the white panels under a blacklight it could be on there also.

Watup NT! Been away for years, Can someone tell me what colorway this is?

 

[Bert.]

Pretty sure that's the FF (family forever) which was denim and someone bleached them

Those are the AJ 1 Family Forever, but they have been bleached and customized.
