Or you could wait a few years when they release again. You're literally buying into the hype man...I've got so many Jordan 1's, but not the Chicago's. I should've caved in a few months ago when I was really thinking about it, now it's $1200+. Mentally preparing myself for considering taking the jump now. Damn resellers...
bruh do you know how much that hurt at the time, when they were cheapYou didn't buy them for $400 a couple years ago why do you need them so bad now all of a sudden?
Yaw tempting me on dem royal toes
what are the differences between the '85 and '94 retros of the chis?
and which one did mj lace up for his last game at msg?
guess that means you want to see the whole familyThat lacing
It's very early/mid 2000s. Especially on NB574s.That lacing
What do you design?There’s super subtle differences to all panels of the cut, which eventually as a whole makes the ‘85 and ‘94 look different.
to answer what MJ wore, he wore the original ‘85s in the final MSG game.
Similarities:
Pretty much just heel counter and the straight back profile
‘85
-overall profile is very slim
-ankle panel and padded underlays are shorter in length
-wings logo fills the ankle panel
-the swoosh tapers from being thin to a fat belly swoosh. The tip of the swoosh is also pronounced. All these qualities make the swoosh look bigger and fills up the quarter panel
-the quarter mudguard near the mid foot is shorter
-the toe mudguard is all shorter. The distance between the tear drop and the midsole is a lot shorter.
-the midsole has more of a curvature in its form. From a side profile you can see the curve from the back to the midsection just based on the top of the midsole.
‘94
-overall profile is larger in the quarter panel section, but the tapers off towards the toe
-ankle panel is a bit longer
-wings logo loses weight
-the swoosh loses weight and starts to look more like a dunk/Air Force swoosh, making the quarter panel behind appear larger
-quarter mudguard is a lot higher (where the first 3 lace holes are towards the bottom) which also contributes to the large quarter panel
-toe mudguard is a bit larger but still tapers towards the toe. The distance from the tear drop to the midsole is further
-midsole has less curvature, and a more linear look from a side profile
the og ones from 2015-present take more cues from the ‘94 than the ‘85, while the new beginning ones are a excellent retro of the ‘85
lol before anyone comes in a blasts me for this nerdy breakdown; my profession is industrial design, and a big part of design is noticing these subtle differences and how big of change just adjusting lines and curves can do. I’ve been looking at these shoes for years, and I’ve seen the differences throughout the years. My guess is they made the jump from the super streamlined profile of the ‘85 to the larger ‘94 profile due to the fitting and comfort.
Tempted to find the sail/red AJKO
My god you're committed....making my chest hurt.
this is how i wore my air force 1's as a kid, but it's literally the only thing you can do differently with the laces, my feet are too bad to rock a legit loose and untied shoeMy god you're committed....making my chest hurt.
I just remember when I was in middle school that's how the preppy kids wore their grey 574s with the straight across lacing.
They look good here.
those UNCs
Memory hardware. However a lot of my design up bringing began from shoes and toys lolWhat do you design?
