For shoes you wear that much invest in a pair of cedar shoe trees and leather conditioner.
Had my royals for a year and a half and wear them probably 3-4 times a week. I clean them on the regular, and started to notice a slight discoloration on the toe box. Can't really tell unless you're up close and really stare at it, but it's such a bummer since scoring another pair is close to impossible :/. Anyone else start to notice the leather wearing out?
glad it makes sense now.
I only like J's if they have some kind of meaning to me from when i was a kid. 1's mean so much. Reminds me of the struggle my Mom had raising me with zero financial support. Getting a $60+ pair was insane back then, so i always got the crappy $20 pairs you'd see on sell. Like Chris Webber said in Sole Man about the kid that was always fresh and had the black/red 1's, "oooooooohhhhh." I was not fresh at all through high school. But now, I'm fresh as F for a 40 year old
Now i go ham on shoes because i can afford them. Its her fault.
but I would still rock em. I had the chance to watch Jordan play (on TV of course) and watch him over and over always peeping his sneaks while on court... good times indeed. I still remember coming to the states back in '02 and my mom wanting to buy me AND1 instead of the flints 9s that had dropped during that summe, she would be like those are $125 you know you can buy 2 of these $50 shoes and even 3 pairs different colors off the SALE rack I love my mom but she is cheap as hell Anyways those were the first "new" jordans I ever had... funny enough I picked them up DS about 1-2 months ago just off nostalgia itself. Right now I got a bunch of 1s on the collection and some 3/4/6... moving forward like most of ya'll will reduce collection and probably keep 1s only which I can only rock over the weekends due to work. 
just read the past 10 pages and not surprised of the older crowd here... and glad we all share the same AJ1 love 
I wish I woulda been more active back in 04 when I joined... I had my own share of "noob" on the Royals thread but I finally got it figured out... I think... #NT works in a miraculously but I'm glad to be part of the community and little by little getting to know others.
why that map marker pointing to Tijuana though
yeah that peacock design is not my cup of tea. Fav DB for me is 3 or 6.DB 2's are my favorite.
The very first DB before the beasts arrived on the scene.
6s and 9s aren't too hard to wear either imo
