Wow. I’ve never liked the original Lettermans at all. But THESE Lettermans I could get behind! Turned out pretty damn dope IMO. Never would’ve thought of a Chi-esque but with navy instead of the black. What are you gonna do with the UNC blue NA on the tongue tag?

I'm gonna leave the tag as is, as an ode to the original Letterman's and to share the same design cue as the ROTY's since they are both outfit inspired 1s.

Aww. That’s right, the Lettermans do have that light/UNC blue on their tongue tag as well. Again, dope execution.
 
Finally joined the LA to CHI club. Just in time for the NBA season...
Also not sure why StockX left the packing slip from the sellers END order. Looks like they hit on the END drop last month.

Chicago’s & Spidey’s are just different enough for me to need both. Plus I collected comics heavy when I was young.

Still gonna need those 2020 Chicago’s tho.
100% the same boat I’m in. The Chis are my favorite Jordan 1 ever (the Chi color blocking is my favorite in general, so I love all 1s in that blocking). I have the 2015s, the Spideys (were a must IMO, especially because I’m a huge Marvel nerd, especially Spider-Man, having read most of his comics), and the 2020s are a must as well IMO.
 
Opened up Sneakrs and thought they were announcing a release! Was about to be hype, the only patent leather pair that I would ever want in my collection. May go back and get gold toes.

Cop the gold toes

They’re :nthat: in person and turn heads. Always get compliments from males and females on them.

Only downside was they were super stiff and uncomfortable for the first few wears cuz of the patent but they def broke in after a bit.
 
Might be time to unDS these soon. Never understand why these never got much love, they look better with the flat laces imo.

They are quite monotone though, and having ROTYs make them a bit redundant, but I dunno. They still can be had for very cheap. Would probably look pretty good with mavy laces but I'm not taking them out of the UNCs.

Rooks do go harder tho, those will probably get worn first, can't even lie.

They should've made this a Jordan 1 SB imo.
 
I've worn these shoes for 15 days straight and I can't get enough of them! Should just go on a second decluttering phase and get rid of all my other shoes at this point... :lol: "Do I own Off-Whites? Pfft, those aren't Chicago 1s."

I'm not trying to raise any false alarms here, but does the wings logo look small on your pair? Maybe it's the size or angle?
