Official Jordan 1.5

How's the comfort on these ?
Feel like I wanna ball in these lol
They're the type of comfortable for lifestyle or casual use.

Having said that, I ball in one of my pairs. They do have the cushioning that can take the abuse of jumping and landing, even for my old knees. Grip is not as bad as I thought it would be, considering they don't have a herringbone or similar pattern. The gym I play at isn't too dusty either. In terms of that lockdown feel that modern shoes have now, these do not have it at all. There's a bit of forefoot slide during lateral movement. I thought not having a shank plate will bother my feet due to lack of torsional rigidity, but that has not been a factor.

Despite their outdated performance, I love the way they look on-court over anything offered today. I love the way AJ 1s look on the court, and these allow me to get as close to that as possible with actual cushioning.
 
^^^Repped. Don't see a lot of people rocking Chi 1s on-court (or at all), and that's why I love these 1.5s. They're actually shoes you can/will wear, rather than collect/worship.

I wish they dropped these here in SEA, so I would have a replacement for my flightclub 80's.

These aren't nearly as awful as I first thought they were. I can't wait for them to start getting heavily discounted! :smokin

Those are gonna instantly sell out online. Chicago sold out super quick

Is that legit or a PS. 1.5 Def looks better in that colorway. The Chi's sold out online the first day but are still available for retail or less. There's just not a big demand...
 
Definitely not the box that they would come in and I would think they would be laced to the top factory style.
 
That Black/Red pair might be a sample for the upcoming release. It looks like the swoosh is nubuck but the quality of the picture is so bad that I can't call it.


Let's pose a scenario. If the toebox wasn't as boxy and built to a slant while the overall shape of the shoe was reminiscent of the Air Jordan 1 Retro "Chicago" while still keeping the Air Jordan 2 sole, would ya'll cop then or nah?

Trying to poll to see if people are more bothered by the shape of the shoe rather than the 2 midsole.

The shape of the shoe is absolutely the reason that I don't like them. If they were shaped like the original pair Jordan had, I would've been all over these. I randomly felt like revisiting this thread to see if my opinion of the shoe changed, and save for maybe two pictures; the bulbous toe area reminded me of why I wasn't feeling them before.

Hell, your comparison video was the worst offender :lol

LOL! I think having them on foot personally should change one's perception. They are comfortable nonetheless but if someone can't get past shape, can't fault them.
 
I don't hate the gums, I just don't $150 like them. Maybe for $100, but I'd rather spend my $$$ on the Breds & Royals.
