Official Air Jordan Retro I WHITE/RED/BLK Thread JAN 2013

Just got my pair from NBAStore.  They are surprisingly nice in person (When you consider the fact that most Jordan retros of the last couple years have had below-par quality anyways).

Although the tongue is leather, it's nice that they inside is fabric so they're not THAT uncomfortable
 
Man ya'll going nuts over the tag still? It's like the box talk from the bred 11 thread all over again
 
European NTers, if you ordered your pair from NDC and paid 140€ for them, get in touch with NDC to get your refund... No need to pay more just because you're used to it as a European customer. Just got this email from them:

"Thank you for your recent Nike.com  order (EOXXXXXXXXX).

At Nike.com  we value your trust in us as your source for Nike products.  When mistakes occur, we risk putting that trust in jeopardy and we want to move quickly to remedy the situation.

We discovered that the price for the Air Jordan I Retro High Men's Shoe that you purchased was incorrect on your order.  You should have been charged € 120 instead of € 140 .

We apologize for any inconvenience and will be refunding you the difference."

Maybe it's just me, but the leather on these feel like they might dry out easily in the near future and start to crack with creasing.
 
looked a few pages back and didnt find it but ive noticed that the recent retros have gotten bigger (ive had to .5 size down on all my pairs) whats the fit like on these? TTS or .5 down? i wear a 9.5-10 in my older retros but in all the new stuff ive been getting 9s.
 
Some of you dudes really need to pull your skirts down b, the streets is missin you!

Y'all really mad @ people for customizing their $110 kickz as if it's some type of sin :smh:

Switched a tag/tongue and removed the jumpman logo, why ya mad tho? It's not like dudes in here adding Burberry/LV/Gucci print to their J's!

I remember when **** like this use too get a pass in the early 2000s :x

I'm happy with the overall look of the shoe i just never liked the jumpman on the heel, i never understand why it was ever added and its not like we asked for nike air on the heel just a blank one, you think with all that thread they left out they would save money right? just my thoughts though.

to me they fit TTS. But then again, everyones feet is different. In my opinion, you should be fine with a 9.5

I went 1/2 size up on mine and they fit perfect...I have an average sized foot (not wide or narrow). Had to do the same with CG IXs and playoff XIs.
 
When it comes to 1's, 3's, 9's, 10's, 11's I always go TTS (11). However, with the 4's and 12's last year I certainly went a half size down. Keep in mind the 1's are the most retro'd and the mold is pretty consistent/not being rolled out or re-done for the first time in 5-10 years. That has a lot to do with the retros last year fitting differently I think.
 
i sized up half a size with these.

I'm usually a 10 in 1s. these were a tad bit tighter.
 
It depends on your foot. In all jordans i go a .5 sz down and they fit perfect. In other nike products (i.e Lebrons, Air Maxes, Foams, etc) I wear TTS. Btw in older retro jordans I wear a sz 10 but the newer ones i wear a sz 9.5. Hope this helps

Thanks guys. most of my 1s are a 9.5 minus the patent leather joints from the early 2000s got 10s in those cuz the patent leather is just uncomfortable around the foot. but ill def go 9.5.
 
Heres the alterations I did to my pair. My auto customizing skills helped, but this is easy for anyone to do. Carefully repainted the Jumpman when I found the right hue, then switch to the Nike Air tag. You can find em off vintage Nikes off eBay.
