For those of you who have the original release, is the leather quality THAT much better than the typical release? Or was it just among the best we'd see on an AJ1 at that time?

Is there black leather on modern AJ 1 retros that doesn’t glitter? Seems like the coating they use leads to it.the sail was soft and buttery in hand but rest of the shoe seemed standard. I'm also not a huge fan of that soft nutsack leather. doesn' t look good with heavy wear. the black leather also glittered and don't know what that was about.

I was reading on another thread here that it was due to the leather drying out. If you wipe it down with water, it'll come back. I'll have to check on mine but I bought leather conditioner, I think it was. This was suggested by another person on here.What production years does this glittering occur on? I thought I read somewhere it was on releases that came out at least ten years ago.

Better legit check yours lolmy shadows from that time don't glitter
They’re looking pretty good in my opinion. Hopefully there’s no hype for them, so resale prices stay on low end, and so getting them on release day will be easier, this go around.
True. I haven't had a newer release do this as of yet. Maybe too soon, but this glitter on mine happened a couple of years ago (maybe longer).I get that, but I don't believe it's an issue with the more recent releases of AJ1's (or perhaps I'm wrong about that).

Which Jordan 1's are these that you've had this glitter issue on?
It was probably a 4-5 year run (at least) of Jordan 1's that have it. Seems as if the black based pairs are really the only ones affected by it.
