**** THE OFFICIAL "I'M TIRED OF THE AIR JORDAN 1" COMPLAINT THREAD ****

[retrosniper]

Hello and welcome....

In light of recent AJ1 releases (including many sought after and forgotten OG colorways) many of us here at NikeTalk have become frustrated, angered,disappointed, and overall upset about the number of different Air Jordan 1 being released.

Rather than continue to pollute and dilute the threads dedicated to AJ1 releases started by people who ACTUALLY LIKE the releases, I took it upon myself toopen a thread where the frequent posters in the Jordan forum can come to vent, let the steam out their collar, air out their dirty laundry, etc. on how upsetthey are that Brand Jordan is following in the tradition of Nike by releasing an influx of colors for the Air Jordan 1.

Although the OG AJ1 released in over 30 colors in 1985-86, the attitude I have seen expressed here dictate that traditions, legacies, and conformities are tobe disregarded and thrown out in favor of uneducated, misdirected anarchy.... Mods please close thread when appropriate (I'm not holding my breath) butI'm trying to prove a desperately-needed point in the Jordan Forum . . . .

EDIT: The AJ1 is my favorite signature and I'm on board forMOST of the recent releases (polka-dots?

) but I think it best thatpeople unload in here rather than argue in a thread about any particular AJ1

i think 1's are wack, but they probably want to release so many to appeal to the crowd who buys the sb's, dunks and crap.

whatever

 

[nikeaircobraben]

LOL... most recent releases are pretty bad... Patented Leather 1's FTW

 

[rick2345]

Air Jordan I's are HEAT! OG colorways only...

OG Air Jordan I > Wack Spi'zikes, 6Rings, Fusions, and Team Jordan.

*Heck: I'd even pick OG Air Jordan I's over most Jordan models.

The OG's are the best!

 

[msheraton23]

jordan 1s are hot.. better than fusions and team jordans, maybe 6rings(i dont own a pair so i cantg really say) but theyre certainly not better than spizikes

I like the OG colorways that have released. Of the new cw's I only like the Military, New Love, and Sport Red. As long as they drop some OG cw's inbetween I'm okay.

 

[Fresh Like Will]

The 1's are getting heavily saturated. I think JB wants to push the silhouette because of it's simplicity. Trying to market them like Dunks, AirForces, etc. To me, the polka dots and carpet swooshes might be overdoing it, but I see kids with them, so I don't see the 1 saturation ever stopping soon.

 

[sosmoove]

I never liked 1's, which explains why i've never owned a pair

 

[jordanhead21]

I HATE hearing about all the new releases....I have a confession to make though....I may be the only person on here that doesnt own a SINGLE PAIR of 1'slol

 

[homer420]

the only ones i like are the og red/wht colorway

 

[bighit101]

its about time someone did a thread like this...

 

[bighit101]

btw the only recent 1's that i liked and bought were the cinco de mayo ones but other than that all others are wack!

 

[2face]

JB stop making 1's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah...

[hypebeast5]

[mst9023]

original cw that have released are dope all the others except for the all red pair and lasers are ugly. the lasers and the red are dope cause the sock liner isso comfortable.

 

[roytek23]

i lost my taste in 1s they dont even seem like retros

 

[metallic]

getting tired of the wack colors, but i will still buy the nice colorways.

 

[raposo927]

I'm not sick of the 1s I just don't like some of the ideas they create for them

 

[moelest]

longer and longer its become more and more general...everybody has them(with all those ugly CWs)

the 'exclusiveness' is no longer there..
