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

[airgolden2123]

This holy trinity that includes Soft Greys was always off in my opinion. Should have never been in there with Royals and Black/Reds. The real trio that dates back to 1985 launch has always been those two and the "Chicagos." MJ didn't even wear Soft Greys nor were they a part of the advertising hype back then.

So those looking to join the "club," you'll have your chance next year when the "Chicagos" rerelease.

My personal favorites are Blk/Gum and Barons.....

Then again, I'm only into hyped releases....

Believe it or not, there was a video floating around that shows him playing in Shadows. I think....

I don't even have the full Holy Trinity set. Jus the Shadows & Shadow Toes (Barons) well if I get the Black/White OG's I guess I'll call that set the "Black Trinity" *shrugs*

Chicago's were made as an alternative to the black/red colorway being "banned" therefore they weren't originally part of the production plans. The REAL "Chicago" Air Jordan 1's are the black toes but when we speak about the holy trinity we're talking about the black based Air Jordan 1's. The shadows have the appropriate name always being over shadowed by its too bigger counterparts...but they are Michael Jordan approved sit.

Mike drops 37 in shadows against legends


Find me a video of mike actually hooping and not doing commercials in Royals....hell find me a vid of mike hooping in black/red 1's and not in a dunk contest. I'll wait.....

The 3 shoes need to be brought together like dragon balls.

I'll never collect them all with the price of Royals. That's too rich for my blood. Dope shoe though. Have the AJKO and SB J Pack as cheap consolations, lol.

 

[bballermarkie]

I just need to get the new shadows.

Didn't think they'd be tough to come by but when I went to the store they only had a nine left.

 

[coldcity]

Lol at shadows being compared to black gums.

Shadows > Black/red
Shadows > Royals

kintan , lamekilla , @the718truth Very impressive find. I was wrong. Never seen that video before. Incredible. Thanks for that. Now I just wish my Blk/Grys allowed me to throw it down like MJ did in that game.

 

[airgolden2123]

lamekilla As far as I know and have seen MJ never wore Blk/Rd 1s in a regulation game. As for Royals, I know he didn't wear those in a game but there is a picture floating around somewhere of him wearing them in what looks like a non-NBA game. However, y'all have made me question my own research skills haha, so I don't have any videos. I'll have to find that picture. So unfortunately I can't complete that challenge.

Here's the pic I believe your referring to

 

[airgolden2123]

That's the one. Thanks.

I could watch that video all day. Infinite amount of reps for you sir!

 

[seandon23]

Eh, the holy trinity is even all around I guess. I'm just more partial to the shadows because they're so lowkey.

When I wear my black/red or Royals the attention I get is

wore royals and this guy asked if he could feel the tongue on em

they've been in the box since

you should've told him "nah you can't feel the tongue but i know something else you can feel ya dig? 

" you never have to worry about that again

Price drop should be imminent, saw a hand truck full of Breds going into FC today sizes 11 and 12...

I don't think that'll really decrease value on em.

Yeah, it does. Just look at the NYC 1s...

Fc had nothing to do with that. Flight23 releasing more pairs did

 

[lzd325]

Quick question.... I have a size 11 in the NYC's and I want to swap them out for a size 12..... How much do you usually offer a person to swap sizes??? Any help would be appreciated.
