I got my Chicago lows on sale for under retail when there wasnt a zilch of hype

 

[nuclear1990]

Anyone else kinda meh on the Kostons?

Have in hand they are nice enough.

Put on feet....feel like grandpa shoes.

Quick snap to show the height differences. Both sz 13. Those are the recent phat Black Toes.

Embarrassingly, looking for my first AJ1 Low.

Should I order TTS? I'm 11.5 on all Kobes, 11 in AF1...

Thanks!

Thanks! Sized up the "phat" lows at FL yesterday and they felt much better half size down. *shrugs*

All J1s fit the same, lows, phat lows, mediums?

Tbh, the jumpman on the toebox from the Koston SBs isn’t as bad since everything else was OG.

I HATE that non-OG jumpman tongue and the fat shape of the non-OG lows in general.

Agree with all of this

Also the leather/suede used on the kostons are pretty good for a low. Looks like JB used the same stuff they put on the blue moons imo

These remind me so much of my mids from 2001 definitely had to cop, and yes .5 size down

Another AJ1 Low for Personal. Review in SB Thread. Bred toes, Kostons and couple more by year end.

Nice. These have the SB insole right? These are dope even wiyh the toebox jumpman

Waiting on delivery for the Kostons atm. First AJ1. Better late than never I suppose.

Feels silly to say, but I never really got the AJ1 fascination. The Kostons got me. Now I'm waiting for delivery on 2 pairs of mids too

Which mids did you get? Mids get no love.

 

[nuclear1990]

Anyone lace swapped these Koston 1s yet?

A pair of mids in triple black (2018s) with the soft leather/nubuck/suede and the City of Flight highs. I guess I like black sneakers lol...but I wanted to have one of each as well as a variety of materials.

For most of my kicks I prefer the lace color matching the same color of the tongues.

nuclear1990 I didn't actually wear them, just threw them on for your sake

the white laces look good.

For me it depends for the laces. Sometimes matching and sometimes contrasting. I generally dislike white laces....just seem to get dirty easily for me.

 

[johnmcguirk]

Kostons showed up today. Sick. My first entry into AJ1.

I took the insoles out (beefy AF) just to take a look around and noticed that they tape excess stitching threads under there. Slick move.

Looking forward to beating these up.

 

[nuclear1990]

What length are the laces? Thinking some SB laces may be warranted.

Laces matching the tongue, that's when Jordan 1s look best to me. Apparently I'm in the minority when it comes to white laces on the Chicago 1s
