I went ahead and copped the laser 1's for $150 shipped. I just couldn't justify spending 200+ on those. I hope the quality justifies the price.

Good price. Good pickup. For some reason I see a convo down the line about how everyone slept on Lasers even when they were $150. Lol. I don't buy J's for quality, but you won't be disappointed.




Todays kicks. Some of my favorite OG1's

Underrated.


3M lace swap
400

Where'd you get 3M laces?


I don't have shadows but for some reason they're not as attractive as the others.

Agreed. Shadows werent worth a dime over retail for me then and they aren't now. Grey is one of my fav colors, but I just couldn't get with those. Tbh I'd rather have shadow lows.
 
I kind of agree with this, but it depends on the model. OG's are a priority for me, then I usually double back and grab the nicer quality drops. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, OG's are always a priority for me, which is why people see me saying pass on a lot of 1's that dropped outside Breds, Royals, and Shadows. I'll add B/W and Frags to the list (both I don't own). Everything else was trash to me. And when I say trash, i mean cw.

Nah. Family Forever, Laser, and Clovers were nice. Shattered backboards too. Laney, Carmine,Knicks, and highlight reels were the worst. B/W and shadows were ok-worth retail.

i actually forget about Family forever pair. I love those.

But Lasers are a joke to me. Absolutely hideous. I'd rather smell bad breathe on a female than look at those.

Shattered backboards do NOTHING for me. Can't stand orange.

Lol. Well, at least we can agree on the FF. I'm from the DMV...I see Orioles with the shattered backboards. [emoji]128522[/emoji][emoji]128525[/emoji]
 
 
Quality is important..I give it that...but to me its the C/W..All I need in my life is a pair of Royals and Breds...I dont need anything else....

Growing up in the 90s and actually owning the 2001s...just a sentimental value....
 Yeah agreed, I like the bred / royal CW much more than the B&W's, I just like the quality of the B&W's.
 
IDK what to feel with those joints. It's like I want them, but there's a part of me that goes "meh"

quality is pretty good. black lasers wouldve been 10000x nicer though. i still see them sitting at my local spots. i'll probably end up copping IF price goes down. i cant justify retail for them.


Exceptions: 2013 Chicagos..

Actually thinking more about this, I don't agree at all. I hated those recent Concords (reason why I don't get XIs anymore unless they are early 2000) or recent WCIVs. Just my O


agreed. i lovED xis, but the recent shape/quality got me feeling sick. havent owned a pair since the '12 playoffs.
