Cheers brov!
 
Pinnacles have a slightly rounder/wider toebox and the leather tongue also gives them a narrow appearance at the top compared to the remastered puffy foam tongues.
 
damn I really want these...might have to do the old 'sell a few pairs to make room'...seen some good deals out there I should prob jump on before prices go up.

dope that the veg tan leather will darken and develolp a really nice patina with use. Yea I think im gonna have to pick these up
 
gonna wear mine tomorrow night for the first time. what should my process be for cleaning them?? i didn't even use repel on them like i do all my sneakers bc i figured it would discolor it in a weird way instead of naturally

my pair came in today from the bay. no lc needed as i know they're legit. i paid retail plus tax plus about $30, which i feel like was the best price i'd get at this point. i think they're dope. quality is very nice. these remind me of my boy JBFs new sig sneaker. the difference is the JBFs are $1000... http://jbfcustoms.com/collections/all-products/products/vegetable-tanned-high-tops

anyway, i'm happy.

thought those were so dope. saw them before the 1s and said i had to get myself a pair of tan sneakers. once i saw the 1s i jumped on them as fast as i could
 
^^
repped. same here. i wanted the JBFs, but couldn't justify it although i knew the quality would be insane. but yea, with the 1s i knew i would get a pair once i saw em. it was only a matter of time.
:nthat:
 
Any places in the bay still have these in a 8.5 or 9. I checked sole supremacy and the price is koo but they only have a 10. 9 is my TTS for 1s but people say half size down. I dont have a wide foot so size down or tts?

I'd go TTS - have a 10.5 in EVERY Jordan 1 - the pinnacle is no different to me! Half size down would be just too snug... Especiallly considering the pretty stiff leather on the vachettas!

Getting the shoe wet will discolor it, that includes using Repel. That's the problem with untreated leather. There's really no way to clean it without changing the color in some way.

Is there any way to remove marks on the leather? There's a few marks on my pair. I know several pairs had this issue.
 
Any idea on where to get these? online or in the south florida area?

Did you try shoe gallery? What about other boutiques that carried the shoes via phone order?

I am sure they aren't completely sold out everywhere, regardless of your size?

Please be more specific about the marks ...

there are so many marks with the shoes to begin with due to the nature of the leather
 
^They are sick, just cant justify paying that price, most I paid on Jays was the GOF Pack
 
i feel what u saying. def. paying $400 retail for nikes is crazy in theory, but in this case, when compared to comparable shoes with this type/quality leather the price can't really be argued imo. also, the fact that they were $400 retail made it much easier to shell out the extra $65 to secure. doubt they'll be going anywhere under retail. those croc pinnacles that drop on the 31st are must haves also.
 
At first I thought 400 was a lot, but then thought that's basically the same as two trash retros. Then considering the quality, subtleness and versatility compared to retros, these were a no brainer.

Would love a second pair since I'm planning on wearing these heavy, but only for that swoosh price :nerd: (if they ever release on ndc :smh: )
