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

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Well maybe not but I personally have never carted anything on Foot sites during hype drops 

Nah you're pretty much right lol

Anyone have recommendations for insole replacements for 1's?

I use the SofSole AIRR insoles for most of the J's I wear.

I mainly use them in 6s, 12s, and 13s, but I just found out they are great in 1s.

Had to use a heat gun to remove the insole from my Chi's.  They went overboard with the glue in those.

Agreed with the exception of the Bred 2013s. 1s are the most frustrating shoes to purchase online...mainly due to the ridiculous production runs.

Hopefully the SBB 2.0 and Black Toes (ha ha, ha) are like the Metallics and Lettermans.

It's to the point now that I don't waste my time trying to cop 1s online.

1s are the only Js I have to camp out for.

Lol Man I wore my playoff 12s the other day (recent release) when I went to pick up my Banned 1s......the leather differences between the too! Dear god. 

Still love those 12s, but just had me wondering how amazing they'd be and feel lol

You ever sold thru Slang?

Nah I sold through EBay, FB and dropped like 40 pairs off at FC before I left California.

If any of ya'll on this thread are currently wearing your Breds or have them in rotation, please post more pics of them as they break in. Would love to see everyone's unique AJ1.

And hopefully they're not pics with crease shields or packaging tape on the sole.

I've worn mine every single damn day since Monday lol

Just got my 3rd pair in and each one has a different ending production date. 1 from Nike, footlocker and Champs. Could this be the reason in varying defects? I assume since different ending dates they were made in different factories.

Traditionally Nike keeps the factories busy making parts to equal the whole so it's not odd a left show was made I one factory and have a X date while the right shoe was made in another factory and has a diff date. I think what's interesting is the date range seems to be not within a few days of each -- just all over the place. The variations in QC is about nike making an increased number of these then typically and the Quality Control taking a broader def of quality to make sue production numbers get through ... Ironically this might be the cause that drives down any aftermarket desires.

Only thing Eastbay did today was ruin the best thread on NT.

 

[k20lee]

Not Eastbay's fault, it had already took a dump once the first toilet was locked.

 

[seandon23]

Toilet locking? lol

Finally unDS'ed my pair and in my left shoe, the Nike Air logo already rubbed off lol.

Otherwise, the shoe is super comfortable to rock in and look great.  Got a few compliments from coworkers at work.

Def not a reseller, just my favorite color way of all time plus I sold 95% percent of my sneaker collection so I'm just buying multiples of 1's that pretty much go with everything. So instead of me having a hundred pairs of all different sneakers and colors id rather have 2-3 pairs each of classic colors so that way I never have to worry about hunting them down when a pair gets beat. I guess it's the old head in me just trying to simplify my collection.

I can totally relate.

How's the black leather breaking in for you guys?

 

[Larry Legend]

Personally loving how the black leather is breaking in

 

[sthebest]

I too love how my black leather is breaking in. People were downing it at first like it was terrible stuff leather. But only real leather creases uniformly like it does on this shoe

Yep I kept telling people to look how thick the leather was compared to past releases. They used a nice leather on the black portions, it's just super thick in comparison.

Definitely. I also think that the black leather will shine up too - with more and more wear.

Would have been nice if leather on sides was like Chicago soft. Rub ya hands and *faints*
