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

[stillmatic718]

I'm trying to figure out if I'd like a black tongue on my white/black 1s. Any pictures of them next to each other?

 

[airgolden2123]

They must've realized the "Noveau" and "Phat" concepts and colors weren't selling in mid versions and decided to switch it up to the highs.

If these are actually iD, like most Nike iD options, they won't let us make any worthwhile or OG colors...

 

[stillmatic718]

Most definitely.. I don't wear my patents without them, so I have very very minor creasing. I only use them on my grails though. Shadows, Black LMs, etc.. get the normal treatment.

Do you use the white or the black version?

Yeh only on shoes like them or 3m etc.
I use the white ones. Black work better but are stiffer so can be umfortable

Those black and Golds on Feet
Black Gold Jordan 1 > Jordan 1 Pinacle

yup

To change the subject

I'll take these all day over that pinnacle garbage. Props for rocking your pair.

thanks man, had em when they first dropped and were doing $5-600

Would those sneaker shields help?

probably but I Dont rock em with that.

3m is the worst have a pair of wingtips that are absolutely destroyed lol

The elephant print are not bad for beaters. Even black pair is not bad for beater too.

IT's prolly ment as a spot where you can put your own Text per NIKEid

. If this actually happens.

Like @matters7 said, Id stick with the white ones. They are flimsly, more comfortable, and do the job. I'd only use the black one if you really want to repair damage. They are sturdy enough to push out any crease that you may have, but stiff when walking.

With either version, you can likely stay TTS if you use a slimmer insole, otherwise your toes may rub. Some people prefer to go up a half size, but i'd rather throw in a newer tech insole to make the 1s more comfortable.

RIP to 1's if they hit NikeID. I honestly don't see it happening tho.

 

[suchafraud23]

Yes please RIP then 1s will be easy to purchase again like a couple years ago

 

[kintan]

Yes please RIP then 1s will be easy to purchase again like a couple years ago

This would be a possibility, in my opinion, seeing as the AM's get butchered by NikeID and would be easier to cop at retail

What size y'all think I should cop? I'm a 9 - 9.5. I don't want to order the 9 and it be too small for the 9.5s, or order the 9.5 and it be too big for the 9s. Advice?

Cp3 1 for about $50 under retail (82) Use code PBKEZU5M9Q12

Great price

 

[Bert.]

ill cop the black pair for under retail. those arent bad,

 

[squatchnt]

No NA don't care, especially for the ID tax price. If I got a coupon or GC I might experiment...

 

[Arthur Shelby]

NO it's not that deep no need for this

 

[airgolden2123]

I think I speak for everyone here that we want less demand for the 1s. However, I fear if there is ever less demand for 1s, like there was between 2001-2012, we may fall back to a similar result as far as colors and quality.

 

[Bert.]

wait yall serious about the ID? i dont think these are gonna be on ID bruh

 

[kintan]

They look like they're gonna go on ID. 

People are still hyped about these though, dunno why - probably because of the words "Rare Air"

 

[Sixharding!]

Anything on iD is a good thing. You get to be creative with silhouettes that speak and fit your style. It also dries up the hype buyers and after market value, which only leaves those that truly want a shoe for wearing purposes. Where's the bad in that?

 

[tlamora11]

I doubt iD. I would be ecstatic if they did release on iD though

I think they're afraid that it would devalue the shoe - because people will butcher these big time 

 

[Bert.]

hopefully they do then, devalue the 1's. i dont care

id welcome it fully

 

[Sixharding!]

Devalue...devalue...devalue a shoe? What's that even mean? People WILL create Yeezy color ways, South Beach color ways, and every other color way imaginable but how does that affect the individual that has whatever color they own? Are we all at the same high school worried about wearing the same thing as our classmates?

 

[rcjbbp1313]

as long as they allow us to make any colorway in OG blocking it may be the greatest thing Nike ID has ever done, i myself would pay decent money for pairs that arent available and for some that are but only if the leather is decent
