i "gel"ed a pair of shoes over 2 months ago and they're just as good as when i first did them - no going back to yellowing yet.

you did a good job with those m tr4nch. it's def hard work to do the entire midsole.

 

[houstonsnk]

I still havent forgot about my guy. Hes doing a pair now. Just busy with Christmas and stuff. I hope to get them back by New Years.

Pure- man not to knock those linens but if I'm going to get a pair it's going to be DS with no yellowing at all if they're charging that much.Besides I think there's other sneakers out there that I'd rather save my money for and just go all out then stop half way by getting linens. I thinkthose Atmos you have man are better then linens to be honest. I'm almost beginning to think we're overhyping these linens. IMO I don't thinkthey're all that and a bag of chips. Courirs easily take the cake for "best AF1" for that time period.

Kevin- How's the leather on linens is it the same as Campers? I have feeling it's just as thin and creases just as much.

 

[robsheedwallace]

^ Best af1 of that time period would be hong kongs good sir.

I just think that the linens represent the simplicity that af1s were. Sad we are far fromthat now.

 

[itsmedallas]

Loony- I wanted to say that but ... You know

... I think it's HKs, Atmos and Courirs to be honest.

Saw those grey futura lows at a local sheikh, they're alrite. 124 is too much tho. The colorscheme is nice and simple but the softer pleather is what killsit. I remember working at kmart for my first job a seeing the shaq knock offs having better tumbled leather than AF1s.

 

[soleful1ne]

When is the release date for those Premiers?

 

[houstonsnk]

^^Jan 9th. Price $135

 

[hk feet 27]

tr4nch - Did you use the gel pictured below or another type of whitening gel?

 

[D Double]

Yea i wanna know which gel you used as well tr4nch and also Kevin

 

[maza4ever14]

I don't think he used that cuz that's toothpaste

if you go to the toothpaste aisle, go where they sell the teeth whitening strips. Next to that they have the refill tubes for the kind they sell with the teethwhitening trays.

 

[kushcommander]

nice m tr4nch i am going to try that on some of my white on whites. i got a pair of harlems lasers thats just sitting there because of its yellowed midsoles.and thanks for the sea glow answer i just didnt know because i heard sea glow causes soles to completely come off and dont that happening with my taiwans. itshard to find a pair in my size.

Hopefully I will have a shot at those. Not to many people into forces here in the DMV.

Now if you owned the Linens and not HKs would you be saying that?

JK.TEAM HONK HONG? I do agree that Linens are not the "best" AF1 but I think it has one of the best colorschemes in a shoe period.

My favorites from 01 would have to be these.. (picture from MEF)

But how can you not love it though... (pictures from Spacej23)

I hate team hong kong and I hate team Atmos!

There are 4 staples that I must have: Linens, Wheats, Hong Kongs, Atmos. Guess which 2 I keep getting close, but no cookie, to owning.

Lol, your list will keep you in the game for a while...

 

[8tothe24]

Thanks loony,

Yeah. If I can get Atmos, HKs and a couple others I would be finished. I have a couple fetish (

) pairs that I am looking for in size 11.0... ...

I know people have em and they are findable (maybe not the lemon twists). I just need to find them.






How can I forget #5 on my must have list, Team Courir.

 

[pureretr05]

8tothe24 - I was starting to feel bad for you but Linens, LA and Courirs??
