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

[FellowchuckerMikey]

Why did you lace both pairs differently?
One pair is laced in-to-out and the other pair is laced out-to-in.

It wasn’t purposeful. Honestly I didn’t even notice until now

 

[toneagain]

[FellowchuckerMikey]

Lol if you have a constructive reason why that would help but I Laced them myself

I use the wipes and don’t dry them, they just air dry.
Also to the lacing the shoes differently, that may be annoying, but calling one shoe a pair is also annoying. A pair is two. There is no such thing as a left pair or right pair.

If there's an excessive amount of glitter (like caked on), I use Saphir Renovateur. If it's just on the surface, a couple swipes with a horsehair brush will take it right off, even gets all the areas between the laces on the eyestay. By far the easiest way to remove glitter and takes maybe 5 seconds.

Royals or Black Toes?

Glad it wasn't just me. I was looking at the pics like where is the other pair?

I was wanting more people to comment on Buddy’s union black toes LC.... I own em but Im no good at telling real vs fake in pictures. A lot of times I just have a feeling, sometimes you just know when they’re real or not. Those looked funny to me though

What looked funny? The obvious flaws aren't there (i.e. stitching near the lace hole, the wings logo), but the good fakes have that fixed. Feel like those are pretty hard to LC unless you have a legit pair next to them to compare the feel.

But you laced them, right? You didn't notice you laced each shoe differently?
Obviously somebody laced them because those aren't the default laces.

Not sure, just a feeling, I could be wrong. Kind of thought the shape in the back was cut a lil high but could just be a small size that made it look high in the back and short lengthwise

Bofaem

 

[3thaman]

Black Toes !

Got to have the red laces.

They are size 10 and I bought them used if that helps I’ve looked at a million pictures and I just can’t tell for sure probably until I see another pair in hand .... to Anyone asking about the laces yes I laced them both and no I didn’t notice i barely notice now that you pointed it out doesn’t seem to matter to me

Might wanna try the union thread just in case

Air Jordan 1 x UNION LA Thread

A couple details to notice, raw/unpainted leather on the ends, bigger more OG looking wings logo and nappy suede on the collar

The shape (mainly height) looked weird to me as well, but could just be bad pics or a very small/very large size, so I didn’t want to mention anything.

They look so tall.

 

[air thumper]

Yeah, I haven't chimed in because I can't definitively say. I'm leaning towards legit because everything seems to check out, but they do look oddly tall. That could be because this is a softgoods product, and that type of variation tends to happen in production.

 

[sales]

Picked up my pair from Nike today

 

[skaterplayer808]

What do you mean Nike? These at the employee store or something?

 

[echau]

Some of my favorite non-OG colorways.
They releasing so many 1s nowadays I can't even keep up.

 

[appleheaddmv]

^ just think, that’s probably 10 Grand worth of kicks...
