QFT.. Care to share a picture of your awesome collection of low, mids, and high 1s Mochachip? And as far as quality is concerned, most of us spend A LOT of money on sneakers so the least we deserve is decent quality regardless of how much you think we wear them lol. Its people like you who make JB think its okay to pump out terrible quality

Lol. I'm a grown woman and I don't take pics of my "collection". I get 1's because I actually LIKE to wear Jordan 1's...not to take pics. That's petty to me and more materialistic than I care to be, but if you want to know the 1s I've owned or currently have I can list the ones I remember. 

Bred 1

Royal 1

Anniversary 1 (sold)

Jordan 1 Shadow (sold)

Armed Forces (Khaki color) 1 Mid

Jordan Wmns Low Wht/Denim

Jordan 1 Mid True Blue

Jordan 1 Fathers Day

Jordan 1 Gum 

Dave White Jordan 1

BHM Jordan 1 Mid

This were sitting on all Nike Stores here in UAE and even the BW OG1. I must say if they used the same tumbled leather in the BW OG1 or if they used the same leather like Lance Mountain this could have sold out. 

To tell you the truth, the material on these black gums isn't much worse than the material used on black/red 1s... Yeah I said it, and before anyone tells me "I don't have black/reds or I've never seen black/reds" I'm holding multiple pairs in front of me right now. The black/whites on the other hand kill all the other OG 1s quality wise by a long shot (including shadows). It is what it is though. Just glad I could get my hands on these black gums because I was in desperate need of some new fresh beaters. My shadows def needed some rest

You're not lying

How do you guys store your 1s. I wear my breds a lot but have kinda stopped rocking them because winter. I usually leave the paper stuffing in the toebox and place that cardboard piece that keeps the tounge right. Is that what you do/ is that bad lol?

Gym reds can hold their own against the b/ws imo

Theres nothing to it. Just store em how they come from the factory. Shouldn't be any issues with AJ1s.

Went and picked up the melos today. Shoes wasn't on display so you have to ask for them, my boy said they only received a size run....my pair had a little glue spot but quality is ok, I say the leather is a little softer than the black toes

Dope. These are a must cop for me.

Mane I need me a pair! I'm about to do something drastic lol

 

[airraab]

Flying to Seattle Tomorrow for work.. I'm gonna check some FA and see if i find anything out there

 

[pjeung]

-melo logo
-ashy nubuck stuff
wouldve been a cop
gold couldve been golder...but thats just petty

i'm not a melo fan, but the tag is "okay".. it's that nubuck that makes these a no go for me.. maybe it's just me, but i prefer 1s to be all leather.. it just feels like it's meant to be that way

 

[g money 87]

My Footaction got the Melo 1s randomly, checked em out not bad but im passing. Came in the new 2015 box which indicates they were supposed to release em in January 

 

[smokey]

Do you guys think that the 13' breds will be able to be wearable 30 years from now just like the originals are?

 

[jays25]

That black/gum pic is nice. I find it comical that people really complain about the leather quality on a shoe you're not going to wear everyday anyway.  

Half of yall aint even start liking 1's until Ye wore em. Real 1 heads have lows, mids, and highs. But whatever. The Melos look nice with or w/o the white tongue tag and with or w/o leather. I just hope I get my pair. 

Talk about being a grown and mature woman, say that people complaining about quality is silly, and then you say some ish like this?

 

[macky]

not bad in this pic.
Will cop during the next ndc clearance sale

 I only own highs, all but one are Nike Air.......I must not be a real 1 head...................or a grown and mature man

 

[armokidd]

Still need royals, shadows and I do like the melos

 

[donko]

The backbone of my Jordan collection is 1s.

I only have 3 pairs of mids: Old Love, UnBReds, and True Blues. (not counting the fusion ones from last year)

I have about 5 pairs of lows: Denims (women), Prom Pack (black), White (faux ostrich leather), BRed (phat), Reverse Shadow (elephant print).

I'm not sure how many highs I have.  I started off with the Max Orange,  Pewters and Sapphires. 

I eventually copped all the AJKOs.

I picked up all the Nike SB x Jordans this year.

What I am missing are High BReds and Royals. (one day when the stars align)

With all that said,  I've been team Jordan 1  since 7th grade 1985.

There was no Kanye back then.  There was only Run DMC and Adidas.

So my love for the 1 is real and it runs deep.

I still can't rock those black/gums tho

Honestly, I might cop Monday if they're still around locally.

That whole mid thing isn't true.

I had some mods didn't care for them on foot and got rid of them.

Classifying sneakerheads into subgroups is pretty lame 

 

[endeesee]

purpose of proving your love to a sneaker...?

 

[ogretro4me]

This thread took a funny turn

 

[whoisthisguy]

You guys really don't need to prove to anyone "your love for a sneaker" If you love 1's & always loved em, ok coo. If you jus now starting to like 1's from last year, ok that's coo too. At the end of the day it's all about what "you like" not what everyone else like.

Don't need prove nothing to nobody, jus be you.

With those melos going for so much, and the frags are going to be ridiculous; makes me really appreciate the black white 1s i got for basically retail 2 weeks after RD.  Black/whites > melo, and the fragments arent that much better looking than the black/whites (with long pants on you wont even really notice the blue heel).  I might just double up on the black/whites.
