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

Another thing you have to keep in mind is that even when the shoe sells out, quality issues lead to customers complaints.

They have to give vouchers out, take returns on product that is defective, pay UPS for return shipping, review the return etc. Customer Service Reps time cost money and they might be able to offset the cost of the raw materials by reducing the amount of calls/complaints/returns that come in and the number of people needed to service those calls/returns at corporate.

I'm sure that the price difference we see will be part of the formula, but there are a lot of factors we aren't thinking about.

I won't front Denims are growing on me but I hate rocking denim on denim and I don't wanna throw these on with khakis so it's a pass.

Possible deal made for black toes for 220 shipped. Hoping it goes thru.

If you wear these with white pants, would the pants get jean stains from these 1's?

I like these, but the light blue outsole is killing me.  Gum soles would have been killer.  If you wear them with khakis the light blue sole will make you look too preppy?

I need to learn the art of sole swapping on 1s.

 

[DJ Shift]

donko I was thinking about the same thing. Gum sole > powder blue outsole. I might wear these with some chinos or grey chinos.

this...gum sole would have been flame, would look sick with khakis

Curious, what are people's thoughts on the following trade:

Tiff Dunk High Black Lance Mountain

I think that's a fair trade. IMO, lm>tiffs

 

[ronaldcinho]

I traded my supreme foams for bred 1s + $150, how y'all think I did?

I would of given you my breds plus $ for those supremes. Your local too. Damn!

Wish they made the FF 1s without denim. It would have been better if they had that navy leather that is on the tongue and toe box throughout the whole shoe.

 

[djaygotsole]

Repped!

I was finally able to double up on BT's from the outlet release but still haven't found Hawk 1's at a cheap enough price for me to attempt a tongue swap lol 

Tongue swap? That's a first [emoji]128064[/emoji]

I think the whole concept was to use denim...but that idea doesn't sound too bad [emoji]128077[/emoji]

I'd be in for those. That navy pleather looks super soft

Not a first in this thread...dudes are really particular bout their ones in here but I respect it lol

My exact thoughts. My main question however is why and the hell did JB approve of that boo boo excuse of a toe box? but the GS pair came out clean.

What's the connection with denim? Maybe JB is trolling us for always making fun of MJs jeans.

I didn't even catch that toe box till you mentioned it.

I wouldn't have done it but if you are happy with the deal that's all that really matters.

I was looking at the foams and thought they were trash and I don't have any more room at home so it was time to get rid of then

 

[jinkazama]

Looks like I'm in the minority but I love the Denim.

What's wrong with the toe box? I'm not in to 1's like a lotta you guys so help me understand.

I think you could do it with these. The color is obsidian so it's blue/damn near black. As long as you don't try to coordinate the jeans to match the shoes I think these would go pretty well with jeans. Like somebody said earlier...I'd be concerned about these ruining a pair of cargos if the jean dye rubs off

Nah...they'd be baggy, ripped, and come with a sport coat if that was the case

Yeah...I've done the same in the past. Buyers remorse is a mother. Props for being able to flip them for something you really wanted.

I'd've have made that trade in a heartbeat lol, you did the right thing

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

Toebox isn't as bad as people make it seem.
