THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

I just looked at the Jackie Robinsons for the first time. I did not care based on the '86 silhouette alone but I'm a baseball and Jackie Robinson fan. They are atrocious. Nike says "Inspired by his team uniform" and it's ****ing navy :rofl: illustrayt's R2D2 am1's do a better job representing Jackie and the Dodgers than these abominations. OohHohhHH a shiny gold 42...how mindblowing

They'd be a clean shoe without forcing the tribute to Robinson. The butchered execution annoys me, though.

The original 1947 game jersey isn’t the dodger blue of today. No dispute with the rest of that lol

I agree that is not the same Dodger blue we see today. That is not midnight navy, either. Nor is the jersey even sail, it's much more cream/natural than the sail used on the shoes. They look like some crosstown rival Yankees sneakers lmao

I personally like the color way in hand and threw in the waxed navy laces. The thing that annoys me though is the double "42" branding. (42 Dubrae with the 42 on the tongue).
