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

If I want a "distressed" sail jordan 1 I'll just continually beat up my sails

Pre-scuffed, as I thought.

Kinda like em with the white laces.

 

[kilroythedon]

I am IN!

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

And people will still complain that they crease.

And I will eat my hat. I didn't imagine that they would do something so stupid...

 

[vinnuendo]

ANY sole color besides black, red, or blue would have been much better. Would hope a collaboration could expand past GR colorways.

 

[Ingenious Bastard]

I don't see what's appealing about shoes that have that pre worn in distressed look. I think they dropped the ball here. That look works with clothing (denim obviously) but with shoes !? Nah the general public wont mess with these.

It'd be a good business plan to make these limited.

 

[beasly151]

Im in for those.

"For the medial Swoosh, a reflective material is employed to provide a flashing effect while night riding."

That makes sense, the swoosh you can't see when you're riding a bike is reflective. Just in case a car sneaks up between your legs.

I understand why NIKE brought back the VINTAGE look they put on the KOs and AMs back in 2013-14 and applied it to these. You know, because it was such a hit. I guess right place, right time, right collab makes anything dope.

 

[0takusamsay]

What would of worked better would have been an olive green outsole and olive green mini swoosh.

That vintage look worked well because there were accents of sail on og colorways aside from the sail/red ajkos and infrared 90s the sail color was just an accent. As cool as the Sylvester look I can't help but feel like they are missing something.



Yep. Money saved.

Edit: and some of yall have the nerve to hate on Game Royals. n**ga what?

 

[blastercombo]

Trash

Or even a burnt orange or rust color....

It really wasn’t a hit. I was being a smart ***. There were people literally scrubbing the “vintage “ off them.

 

[shadynine]

the way people feel about the Nigels is exactly how I still feel about the Off Whites.

 

[blastercombo]

Pre worn looking shoes are corny. Why don’t you actually wear them?

 

[nickatnite]

wonder how limited these will be

 

[the 718 truth]

Y’all are really up in arms

 

[SlamShut]

I’m always happy for a fellow Nigel to come up, and the concept is fine, it’s just not a wearable option for me personally.

I was just breaking down aesthetics. I like the worn vintage look in small doses on a shoe unless it's an actual vintage shoe. This nigel shoe is a very poor execution. Literally looks like a dehydrated dude just peed on the shoes and let the piss dry out in the sun.

Actually I’m almost positive that is the process NIKE uses to get the vintage look.

Almost.

Shoes don't make the man...the man makes the shoes...

 

[appleheaddmv]

the mini swoosh is...

and if the materials is like the LM's...

You should put that on a T shirt and sell them.
