Enough with the frag nonsense... Lets get back to the better half of the retro 1s..

One shoe I really passed up on was the Knicks 1s...the more I see them the more I want..how are the qualities on those? Any photos of them worn down?

Knicks quality is quite good. Similar to Shadows etc but not quite as soft as B/W. Lace swap from the royals is a super nice touch.

Might have to pick up a pair of gym reds...

Some comparisons to the Frags, since I know most folks don't enter the frag thread.  Leather quality is pretty damn close to the banned 1s.

the pics makes me feel like LMs are the closest to banned. and you dont wear your shoes?

I wonder how many kids are gonna get their paintbrushes out on their outlet pairs of black toes and try to pass em off as frags

So, the softer the leather the better the quality?

Na bro trust me the frags are closest, and of course I do. I just tightened the laces for those pics and most of mine don't have more than 3 or 4 wears.. thats what 200+ pairs will get you in terms of lasting.

Certainly better quality but more importantly more comfort. Poor leather quality like DMP 1s or last year's "Chicagos" make them stiff and uncomfortable, especially in the toe box where the foot bends.

As said before, 2009 shadows are the closest to banned 1 leather period.

 

[endeesee]

yup period

 

[descry]

that black jumpman is an eyesore though.

i have '09's for the kiddo, but the toddler version i have is suede instead of leather.

I have to disagree with you on this one fam, I really don't think the Frags are on par with the Banneds.

Great comparison pics though, definitely appreciate it

Personal opinion of course. Really can't go wrong with any of em.

200+ pairs and you're comparing Fragments to banneds? You must not own or ever even held any of the 09 shadows, metallics or Japan 1's to make an assumption like that. Leather quality back then was consistently better than it is today period.

 

[jacksodk]

Often forgot.....the family forever 1's quality was superb!

This. Which is funny because I have the metallic silver from 01' (US Release) but many just don't know how great a show this was. I am still shocked resell isn't much for the limited release
