again, these are QS so some stores wont even know they are getting them until the day before the realease date

There's always someone on niketalk that got some information.

You all do understand that red laces are TRULY how MJ wore them in back in the day?

I keep seeing post stating "Gotta get black laces to make them look more OG".

 

[rtown311]

This would be my first pair of 1's. I really want these BAD. I'm mad that I slept on PYS. Doesn any one know where I can cop these on the release datein Portland, OR?

It shouldnt be hard to take that piece off the back. You prob just need to take a needle and cut a little piece of the thread and then just pull the rest out.

I am going to do it when I get my pair.

Anyone have close up pics of the back?

i wouldnt do that, it'll mess up the shoe, unless you somehow get it professionaly did. and why would you want to make it look sooo much likethe 01's? these are the straps, people will notice anyway. if you try and disassemble the shoe to make it look like another, ppl will

at you

I really couldn't care less about what others people's reaction would be.

It really shouldn't be that difficult pulling a few threads off the back.

i copped mine from ebay for $140.

lol, when i called my local footlocker before they didnt even know what i was talking about, why do people work in shoe stores when they dont know jack aboutshoes?

i was like "are you getting the jordan black/red straps?"

footlocker: "umm whats that?

me: "air jordan 1 high straps, black and red ones"

footlocker: "just the 1's?" (lol, he said just the 1's, like the number is too low, and that i should get a higher number, lol #!+??)

me: "yeah, its a quickstrike edition".

footlocker: (silence)

me: "yeah, i dont think you'll get em, thanks anyway, bye".

btw, the dude was the manager
