Here are pics of the Knicks on feet, in case anybody on the fence about these. I highly recommend em.

Here's my observation of both pair. I noticed a big height/material difference between the Knicks & Chicagos. I'm not sure if its just my pair, but Knicks are much higher then the Chicagos. Lastly the materials aren't the same.

View media item 204083View media item 204086The Knicks leather is more soft, and it gives when pressure is applied.

So, at the end of the day your not paying an additional $30 bucks for Nike Air treatment. Your paying for better quality, but I still dont the $30 increase is justifiable. The Chicagos are nice at $110, if you can get past the lack of OG treatment.

On the White/red/black thread AirThompson just posted a comparison of the Knicks and Chicago's. The Chicago's have stiff leather like the white cement 4s, and the Knicks have softer leather but I wouldn't say it's fire red/ military leather. The Knicks were also higher than the chicagos

that is what I said. Nothing to praise but NOT the crap we got for the militaries and fire reds. I have nothing against stiff leather. I often prefer it

If these are like the Knicks.......

Bulls and Knicks weren't slept on. 1s shouldn't really sell out like that,

 

[blessedsole]

uh, yeah
ill take a dunk over a jordan 1 any day, especially sb's

no doubt! on sb's they really comfy because they are meant for skating. and quality is waaaay better and way cheaper than JB.

Passed on those boo boo Knicks 1's and was underwhelmed by the Chicago's...

I'm going to cop the royals to go alongside my blk/reds

Thnx bro

 

[locobans]

Definitely the knicks material is better.... I hope the May/June release bring this type of leather

 

[sigma1038]

Thanks, that helps a lot. Looking forward to the Royals. Are the banned from '11 the go to in terms of recent retro leather quality?

 

[sunshineblotters]

If I strike out on the IIIs I will prolly get the knicks since the resale on the IIIs will be far more than I am willing to pay
EDIT: NVM I'll just save the loot for the black toes. Forgot about those. Getting the Nike Air treatment as well

yes they are. they were even better quality in comfort and leather quality than my 1994 breds. also the leather has ALOT of flexibility so they wont look beat on foot

I think they might be easier to get in store rather than online.

 

[stayblunted]

Getting ready...

 

[Magic33]

[airthompson]
