Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

[three00zeex]

How much are highlight reels going for now. If those go for more than $100, the price of I's is truly out of control

I wouldn't pay more than $19.99

I never understood why they gave the OG NA treatment to so many terrible colorways.

That's what made think gerald2309 was under 25. No way you watched Jordan while he was doing it, but think of Tinker when you see the kicks. LOL MJ was just an artist on court..

Wait what? I cant understand a single sentence you just wrote..lmao

MJ was "JUST" an artist on the court? lmao..honestly...I give 2 fks who Tinker was lol...Mj wore it, defined the sport and thats all I cared about..

Peter Moore > tinker

 

[flatfoot718]

D'oh! My bad, G. LOL The thought hasn't changed the person associated with it. Wasn't meant to be a shot either...im a Knick fan as well but have to give MJ his props as a fan of the sport.

Been a  Knicks fan since the early 90s...I love the Knicks to death...but everytime the knicks and bulls play..deep inside I was cheering for the bulls...haha

33 years old here. Not all NBA games were televised here in NZ but I'll never forget seeing Jordan's 6 championships, the Dream Team and collecting all the big names's cards.

There will never be a team like the Dream Team and there will never be so many greats in the NBA like the 80's and 90's. I can't name more than 10 players from the current roster...

Hahaha damn, this is why this forum cracks me up. I could've sworn @AirThompson, @Gordonson and @geraldg2309 were 30-40 year old heads. I know fellow alum flatfoot718 had a few years on me but didn't know I'd be one of the oldest.

27, grumpy about 1s like I'm 46 and been on NT 44% of my life....

That's what made ME think gerald2309 was under 25. No way you were there to watch Jordan while he was playing, and think of Tinker when you see Jordans shoes. LOL MJ was just an EFFIN artist on court..

Translated Didn't know a thing about Tinker until waaaay later.

Now I don't understand!! LOL I wanted nothing more than for the Knicks to beat those MJ squads >:

I've been on NT about 1/2 my life lol

Haha ohh an '00 OG. Your class is near extinct.

And even then it would be just so I could recycle the tongues.

man, no one remembers NT being "Nike Park" on ezboard lmao.... I'll be here until the board dies or I'm too old to use a computer haha. Can't wait for these Chicago 1's to drop.

The Barons are ok, but they weren't an OG colorway and wasn't really a fan of the nubuck or pinstripes.

With white and blacks and shadows I would never wear them. I don't regret not getting them.

Some of those NA I's were like wack mids to me.

Wait What? There's nubuck on the toe of baron 1s. Smh

 

[bballermarkie]

No it's nubuck on the heel

 

[carolinafinest]

I like the execution of the baron 1. Of course it could've been all leather but it's very pleasing to the eye.

 

[ogmcmxcii]

No it's nubuck on the heel

The grey areas on the back?

 

[getemchavez]

Subliminal shot for the frags vs the world argument. OG > non OG always. Mike play in them and 2 it's a half *** carbon copy of original shoe. [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji] carry on...

The only thing OG about the recent trinity and black toes are the colorways.

We need that OG mold ASAP

Chicagos can't come soon enough

[amitt5504]

I'd put the Black/Whites in the "Nu Trinity" over the Barons

 

[flatfoot718]

I'm may have a seller to trade my DSM for his slightly worn banned 1s..just waiting for him to get back to me...
I'm gonna bite if he considers..

What you folks think of that trade?

I think you'd win provided the banneds are in good shape with the whole package.

Good trade if the condition is truly slightly worn. You can find DSM 1s right now. Do it bro!

And hit me PM back! lol

I still buy/wear retro OG Js besides 1s. I'm very picky tho, I stay away from predominately white Js (except the Laser 1s, 88s, WC4) and certain ones I won't wear like the 2s, 8s, 14s and up.

I will say those Championship Suns color looking 8s and blue/yellow 14s that drop in oct/Nov may bring me out of my hideous, but knowing me probably not


I'm bout to drop a dime on these Fragment 1s sooner than later, still sitting on the resell money I made off the size that wasn't mine
Probably gotta add another two bills to it. My boy wants to trade me his extra pair plus $200 for my Banneds but I can't pull the trigger

Don't do it man. Those are the only kicks I ever regret selling. The crazy thing is I said to myself before I sold my second pair is that "I know I'm going to regret selling these one day". Even though I have 2013's it still kind of hurts me a little inside.

From the age of 15-33 I wore the same size and then my feet grew a whole size. Wiped out years of shoes I accumulated. Some of the stuff I wore a lot I was still able to wear, but stuff that was Ds or rarely worn just ain't fit anymore.

Same here. Wore a 15 for the longest...hit 35 and BAM foot grew a half size. Needless to say a lot of my family and church members got some hot kicks

Kinda sad thinking back...I coulda made a killing off those shoes if I was into ebay back then. Gave a lot of heat away for free.

Now I wear a 16 and it's a blessing and a curse. There is a LOT less selection once you get past a 15; but on the other hand I save a boatload of money on shoes I'd buy if they were made in my size

I am in the same boat as you fellas. A half size... later in life throws you in loop. Especially if you've been collecting for a long time.




I'm liking all this age talk. It's interesting how old some of you gentlemen are...
