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

[Ingenious Bastard]

Had to off my backup pair because of that damn glitter.

Question for the thread:

If yall knew about glitter gate before they dropped those pairs, would you still have copped ?

 

[stillmatic718]

Yes. It wipes off.

Absolutely, it wipes off fairly easy and the 2016s are my favorite of all the Bred models

 

[Ingenious Bastard]

True....but it always comes back. Paying 160+ for a flawed product is unacceptable. (imo)

I'd probably pass, but I don't regret buying any of the pairs in question. ONLY because my pairs (outside from the Breds I had to flip) haven't suffered from this.

(Knock on wood, though... haven't checked my Shadows in months.)

I think it varies pair to pair, how much you wear them, how you store them and based on where you live.

i have remastered Royals, bred, Chicago, storm blue, gold toes, a couple metallics, and Shadows 1s from the last 4 years and they hardly have had any glitter develop.

I just wear them, Store them in plastic bins not cardboard box, and I don’t live somewhere humid.

I think I’ve had to wipe a little bit of glitter off with leather cleaning wipes maybe twice in 4+ years.

but yes also seen the horror stories on here where it looks like someone dumped a box of ground up Frosted Flakes all over they shoe

I guess my point is it’s a major case of YMMV

I’m still sitting here waiting on the Yellow Toes. I really hope those don’t get scrapped.

glitter affects only certain black based pairs.....out of the ones you listed, it would only be your royals and breds.

 

[heatseeker23]

Yea and my royals and Breds show very little, if any glitter

 

[headdetective]

Who wants to wipe off glitter every time they wear they shoes?

Shxt is trash.

 

[dontbelikethat]

I heard some people prefer the glitter lol, shows authenticity cause the top quality fakes don’t do it. But I guess you can just sprinkle some glitter on anything.

 

[206to813]

for the women

So does that makes the fakes higher quality than the legit ones?

Remember when those first started getting rumored end of last year. Was super excited till I heard the news it was pushed back/axed. Still a must have for me. Funny that goat has pairs up for 2k

All these years get jumbled into one. If not 2019, then 2018. Def not before that. If so, feel free to link

This is the supposed permanent fix for the glitter effect.

Leather Master Spew Remover
For use on A, P and N leather types

Spew refers to the natural fats that spew from the inside of leather to the surface. Spew on the surface of leather looks like a milky film, haze or small white dots. Though rare, it is most often seen in Aniline leathers. It may be wiped away with a cloth, but will reappear soon after. Applying Spew Remover to the surface wipes away the spew and absorbs into the leather to lock remaining fat liquors inside the leather to prevent reappearance.

you’re right, the older you get the more the years start running together. I just know I’ve been waiting a while for yellow toes, hopefully this is our year

Vid from last year so still sticking with my comment on last year being when these started getting rumored

 

[toneagain]
