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

[theonewskill]

I don't even know what tha means. I love the 2013 mold

2013 mold is certainly better than what we'd been getting at that time and the years prior, but with the 2015 new 'og' mold the differences are pretty noticable...maybe not so much from pics, but in hand theres really a BIG difference.

..it really hit me when I had been seeing nothing but newer 1s for a while &  then when I finally did look at some of my 2013 1s I was just shocked at how different they look in hand. not saying 2013 is bad, just not as good as 2015

@Zyzz he's probably referring to the height and width of the heels, the thickness of the tongues, and the softness of the materials used. It is just my guess though[emoji]128077[/emoji]

Putting the Chi's and SBB's side-by-side to the 2013 released 1's almost makes the 2013's look like mids, but I love them regardless

 

This man knows

Love 1s but they are mad uncomfortable and i mean all of them. How the F can zero tech be comfy? Yall are crazy with the word comfortable and jordan 1 in the same sentence unless u put in another insole

Have you tried the 2015 OG Highs? Those are mad comfy.

Just cause you can't see the tech doesn't mean there's no tech ... And since it's the 1s tech that was the foundation for the predecessors kinda seems you need to pay homage to it.

 

[hiphopsays]

Anyone know if retros ever go on sale on fnl, specifically laser 1s? I have some wcrs to burn and I'm just waiting for that price to drop, if ever.

Highly doubt it ... And you know it's crazy when FC has slightly lower laser 1 prices and FTL FNL are trying folks with full prices 5-6 months later.

This is offtopic but are Jordan Eclipses TTS? My sister wants a pair but she's a 6.5, so I told him we should settle for a men's 7.

 

[flatfoot718]

who ever feel uncomfortable in theirs and you're my sz holla @me
by the way I never said 13's are better just said mines were comfortable just throwing that out there

Word! I'll take your uncomfortable 2013 royals or shadows if that's what you folks are crying about lol...if you want comfortable shoes...get crocs lol.

 

[rebelmindz]

I'm in on the ko's 2[emoji]127824[/emoji] please

 

[addictedtosole]

My 2009 shadows are extremely comfortable...the 2010 chicagos are very uncomfortable.  I also recently bought legend blue 1 mids that uses that synthetic and patent leather, also very uncomfortable.  Funny thing is out of all the shoes in my collection, the most comfortable are some cheap nike free run x livestrong joints.

 

[murphykobe]

Have anyone having experience waxing their KO 1s, I'm very interested to see what it becomes for the sport blue ko and the upcoming bred ko's. I'm talking about otterwax

 

[socalofsd]

well damn...

 

[socalofsd]

 for you folks in the designated areas...

 

[uptempo81]

KO's are just lovely I'll try and scoop up a pear if the beasts allow.

Wore my black/white "struggle 1's" a cording to some of you guys lol

According to most on here anything that isn't from 85/94 or the 2013 and 2015 mold is garbage. Jumpman makes it even worse. Same from most on KO's and .5's. These heads now days want to ignore that they were hyped and excited about many pairs that came at others times/molds just because what we have now is "better".

Also, I's are not comfortable at all. It's 30 year old technology. At the time it was revolutionary but now it's significantly outdated. You can feel whatever you step on in them.

No one can convince me that technology from 1985 is more comfortable than 2015. We wear them for the historical value and the asthectic appeal. Not the comfort level. It's basically comparable to a pair of Keds or Vans or Chuck Taylors. Just being realistic.

Well, that's the JB forum for ya lmao

 

[bballermarkie]

The CDPs are fine outside the premature yellowing on a lot of the tongues

yeah, but when idk. They are much quicker at dropping the price of kids Js

 

[silverbackhoney]

Black LMs

They don't fade or scratch. Thats just the way the shoe looks.
theres the hype...

 

[njavier03]

i dont think ive ever seen retros (in mens) go on sale. then again, most sell out fairly quickly. fnl in general tends to mark stuff down quickly, AMs specifically. lasers have been out for 5 months now right?

 

[three00zeex]

These came in on Friday. I waited too long to buy them back in 09 and then just couldn't find a sz 14-15 until now. the materials are on point

 

[Arthur Shelby]

Three00ZeeX nice pickup

 

[250caddy]

Mids? coming out

The reason I didn't go for the LM's was because they didn't match. I loved the paint coming off idea (similar to the SOL Dunk SB's, which I still need to get one of these days). If the paint on these actually scratched off like the LM's, I would've been all in on these, don't care that they are mids or have a jumpman. But the paint doesn't come off, so the money stays in my wallet

Great pick up. The materials are way better on the 09's. Glad I have both though.

I want 09's
