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

What point are you trying to convey brother? Profits have increased since Gentry took over, this is a verifiable fact. Shoes have sat and will continue to sit regardless of who is in charge.



Edit: ok I clicked play, those shoes were some garbage, in fact, gentry is garbage but the man produces results

Point is he a dumbass, as spoonie said, right place right time

It will be one of the happiest days for me when he is no longer with Jordan Brand. Remember he killed the Foam too.

I made my original comment before I watched the video my bad... He wouldn't be the first successful idiot savant and he won't be the last

Those Hyper Royals are beautiful. Obviously QC can alter my opinion, but just from the early looks we’ve had at them, I’d put them right behind the UNCs and ahead of Obsidians.

I know tastes are subjective, but I just can’t fathom how anyone can see that beautiful, almost perfect (tongue tag), interesting sneaker and then look at the bland, boring, deformed Neutral Greys and think NGs are better. 9 out of 10 non-sneakerheads would pick the hyper royals. NGs are all just manufactured hype and weak nostalgia.

.... anyways, it’s blurred lines nowadays. You can’t tell who really wanted these and who’s hyping them. Call me dull, but as I got older, I can’t seem to wear shoes that are too loud. Loudest I’ll go are like your primary colors, but as accent for instance the Chicago’s. Neutral greys to me are the epitome of something you can dress up or down, and it’ll be a great balanced fit no matter what you wear. When I used to work in the office, loved the opened dress code, and I’d always casually wear my kicks with my casual clothing. Lol I still stuck out as a sore thumb, but I was totally me even at work.

I like the current High OG mold over the 85 mold. I've held both in hand at the same time and the 85 just looks funny.

None of y’all could do Gentrys job, that’s facts.

Marketing maybe not but i’d pick better colors and we’d see a lot more OG’s

 

[SNEAKEATER_619]

Mochas all day.
Still upset I took the fat L on those.
Now THOSE are sneakers you can rock with anything.

His job mad easy..

1. Takes OG colorway..change panel colors..make it patent leather, or suede.

2. Cut stock numbers

3. Give out Early Access on SNKRS.

4. Shoe sells out, angry customers, resellers eat up stock.

5. Repeat.

Hyper Royals are cool IMO, but nothing mind blowing. Just color wise, I prefer the teal-ish green color of the Turbo Greens. I’d like the the Hyper Royals more if they didn’t have the royal blue contrast stitching, and if the tongue tag wasn’t all royal blue.

Take his name off of them and go back in time before COVID and they’d be outlet bound within 2 weeks.

since I never hit on any OG 1s this is my first pair with nubuck since god knows when. This is after 1 wear, is this normal? Should I size down next time?

This. I’ve been saying it.

For me personally the Color way is dope. It’s the 100% unnecessary “Travis x Fragment” collab/hype that turns me off from them

but let’s be real these ain’t dropping anytime soon so no need to worry about it

 

[slaughterx]

I'd rather have game royals... and I do, so I'm good.

I came out of retirement from this thread to get an explanation from spoonmanofthehour about this!

How can I give you an explanation when it’s not my pair. Some of these guys have a size range from 8 to 13.

Explain why they are so cheaply made.

 

[temepr]

Take me back so I can buy at least 2 more pairs of these for way under retail
