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

[staffsgtdignam]

The Black Toes are back on GOAT.... lol. I want em but now it's kinda meh.... such a weird space to be in for me as a sneakerhead, all these releases, we see em everyday on our phones.... so much so that when they drop, I can't even get excited anymore. This release/unrelease was a lil exciting last week with the spillage of pairs and Nike postponement. Just to have something before most. But the candle is kinda going out.

It’s simply because Nike/JB flooded the market with OG High AJ 1 releases and a lot of the allure of the model has died.

There used to be a time where they would release in similar release numbers that 85 AJ 1s release nowadays.

I remember people camping out for the Barron 1 OG Highs before the Nike Store here in DC opened because there simply weren’t many releases and they would be sought after as a result and the only other options were Jumpman branded mids or highs.

Nowadays you can literally order OG AJ 1 Highs and get them delivered on Uber Eats:

Chi always!!! But blue my favorite, and it started with UNC uniforms lol

Chicago for me. UNCs are more of a novelty than a definitive cw for any Jordan, especially 1’s

Agreed. I love the looks of my UNC Toe's, but they don't have the same punch as my Chicago's.

Blue > red

While that's true, it doesn't translate to Jordans . Sorry.

Totally different sneaker, it's actually UNC Jordan 1's

It's a definite colorway, because it's based on his college and is a part of every model. There's either an actual release colorway or PE colorway.

This is what I'm talking about.

Yes, but it's a actual UNC OG Jordan 1. UNC's have been a part of Jordan's since the beginning. It's his school and how he became known.

Semantics. I know what it is and that there are plenty of other UNC color ways, but this is the one I own and am talking about.

And that's why it made no sense. It's like comparing a green glow 3 to a white cement 3.

Most models never had a Carolina cw and he never wore one in a game (sans XI’s). Anything Carolina is non-essential to me as the shoes were for his playing career in the NBA, not college. Most of them are retro+ too besides the 1's and 2 lows.

You're putting way too much thought into this topic.
