I feel you picking up my app reservation I seen a bunch of herbs / resellers online waiting for FCFS and they got mad when a Footaction employee said we're only taking app reservations first lol some kid maybe around 15 16 years old had the nerve to ask me how much you selling them for I told him I'm wearing my pair he looked at me like if I told him the world was ending lol

Lovingly yours,
Concerned Jordan 1 collector

Jordan 1 thread currently=Yeezy thread circa 2015-2017. Shoulda built a wall and make them pay for it with their profits off supreme resell.

The tone and vibe of this thread has changed considerably.

Haven’t seen so many darn Jordan 1 resellers in my life-A TONNNNN of new faces in the unclaimed lines wearing three stripes for pines today. RIP Jordan 1s-only a matter of time before hypebeasts completely kill this model. Once the “dad shoe” people start all wearing 1’s it’s done-zo. Thanks Virgil :frown:

The model is 33 years old and still incredibly popular. How can hypebeasts “kill” the model? Just wear and enjoy the shoes, man.
 
Threw some sneaker shields on my shadow’s today. First time trying this product and it made them look brand new. Will def be using them on my 1’s going forward because they crease so easily.
 
My unc 1s are more plush then my bred toes and rsbb but sbb are on another level nothing compares

Do you have Chicago’s? I think those have the nicest “quality” imo out of all the remastereds

That's my biggest problem about owning so many pairs of sneakers I forget about some and yes those have amazing quality as well

My opinions about the pine green so far: even tho I have them I wish they did a different colorblocking. An original BT or Chicago would have been fire. The SBB CB/ing I feel doesnt work for every CW. It feels too much. A couple of you were saying this esp 0takusamsay 0takusamsay . i still want the purple pair. But maybe they will do a blacktoe style. They needa chill on the SBB style or just use different colors that are not so bold. Also the green on the OG Celtics was much better. ALL IMO.

I feel they did the tongue tag backwards as well lol. Shoukd have been black with colored NA

I disagree on the pine man lol I think the combo works nicely for them, the green has the right amount of pop to make the SBB color blocking work for them. I think JB shoulda done this release ike they did the b/red toe and game royal release. They both had like similar color descriptions (insert color here/white-sail/black) but both shoes were very different in their color blocking choices. The Purps I will say all day shoulda been in that game royal/chi color blocking while the pines remained in SBB format. I tell you man, those purps in that colorblocking woulda been perfect.

I do agree with you though and I know dudes think I'm crazy for this but JB went overkill with the black toe/sbb color blocking this year. Like there shoulda been more variety among all these "toe" variants. I mean, it's bad enough we're buying the same shoe and now it's just seems extra redundant with all the small colorswaps but keeping overall the same look. Definitely feel like they'll keep this up for a minute and I really dont want any part in the monotony. I'm just patiently waiting for this year to phase out and hoping there's at least one other OG colorway coming out.
 
Ugh I did a raffle with one block down on Friday and I had no idea they pre-authorized the whole of amount until the raffle is over and this is for both pairs, I was wondering why my account was low lol

Looking at both pairs and trying both on feet I honestly like the Pine Greens better

Do you wear your 1s a lot? I'm telling you man the heavier you wear them and disregard them the more soft they get. The SBB's are dope and have a nice texture to them but they really shouldn't be the standard quality measure. My Black/Whites feel much softer all around and I been really beating those up since most of my collection is in storage. There's a few other quality pairs that don't need the tumble effect that are very soft as well. No one mentions them ever but Lasers are super solid as well.
