I mean yea they're rough, but these are for collecting not wearing. I think restoring would be a disservice but that's my opinion. These are extremely rare. There's only one other pair on eBay rn, much better shape, but nonetheless these are a beautiful pair.
Hey y'all, been gone for a while, but I just recently picked up some OG 1985 AJ1 Chicago KO's. They're in pretty good condition. What do you think they're worth?
Went into footlocker today and I was talking to an employee about the raffles and their plan to make them available through in app raffle, but he said the app most likely won't be ready in time, so these should be like all other regular raffles.
My advice to you is to enter as many store raffles as possible. Call a week or two ahead to every store in your area and ask them about it. Enter as many as possible and if you can enter a raffle to some stores and camp out at stores not doing a raffle, get there way earlier than you think is...
At the end of the day, would anyone be disappointed if it were either leather quality? I've never had a pair of 1's so I can't comment on any of these, but I'd rather have a thick, stiff, nice leather if it were my ideal situation. As long as it's not flimsy, I'll be happy.
Does anyone know how the quality on these remastered J's are compared to OG's/first retro's? At a $220+tax price I'm hoping we got some good quality leather and craftsmanship is on point.
