My cousin is thinking about trading his DS Gym Red 1s for my DS Supreme Camo Vs. Would you guys do this trade?

NO!!! lol i wouldn't do it but if u really want those, go for it

I just wanted to come in and share my first custom. Had a few mistakes and wish the yellow was a bit darker, but overall happy with it.

I somehow wish JB would drop a cw like this.

air brock 5 If the Royals are used, they won't go for too much.

Brand new. With the original receipt.

And they aren't selling at $750?

Right? I can always throw them back in the closet. I'm just a little puzzled about it.

 

[rhinosport]

750 is on the low side imo. I would wait a few weeks for tax returns and ASW to pass by.

@Air Brock 5  - I lifted a pair from you at that level. Always a pleasure 

Yet to wear them but cannot wait to get them on feet sometime soon

I agree with the tax return comments - will be some note burning holes in pockets in a month or two

Good call on the tax returns and ASW. Repped for the votes of confidence. 

 

 

@ACW NJ  Rock 'em til the wheels fall off.

What's the base? Mane! Fish grease!

Lastly why are they called new love? Did Jordan rock with the Wu? Did he diversify his bonds?

the base was the Cyber Monday. The New Love name and the meaning behind it is over my head, haha. All I know is that this colorway dropped a few years back and it had that nickname.

Repped for that line tho. "You need to diversify your bonds."

 

[aug2atl]

Dope!!! ^^^

aug2atl Those "New Love" 1 customs are

Preciate it fellas.

edit - I believe that they were modeled after these bike paint schemes. They were the team racing colors of 06.

Nice. Repped.

I never took the time to look it up.

I must be the rare person that doesn't like 1's with creases. Crease free is the way to be. Luckily my 1's don't crease much at all, and I don't walk any special way. Pic from the fall, but I've worn these Shadows maybe 60 plus times at the time of this pic. Stepped in ice cream getting out of my car.

 

[seandon23]

Creasing is just something that happens on shoes. I don't think it makes the shoe look any better but it is what it is

i know that this is a site for enthusiasts and as such you're gonna find people on here who are more particular about their things, but some of you guys need to gain some perspective and realize that, at the end of the day, they're just shoes

i think what happens to a lot of people is that they get so invested in their hobbies and interests that they start to lose themselves and succumb to having/doing what would otherwise be ridiculous thoughts/actions from any other person's perspective


so take a step back, gain a little self-awareness, and realize how ridiculous it is to worry over your shoes creasing, for real

 

[stillmatic718]

How? Those sneaker toe things?

Hellllll no bro. Don't own any of that stuff. Honestly I just walk regularly, no duck walking or anything like that.

gil23 lol I wear mine as carefree as that too, trust me.

Edit: I do put the shoe tree stuffing back in after every wear too, but I'm sure most people do that.

 

[carolinafinest]

Ok so I got it now. Reps given.

I commented on this before and I hear you. But I also am one to like having as least creasing as possible. I do agree that creasing on AJ 1's give them character to a certain extent. I wear ForceFields on certain pairs of kicks, not all. I see my shoes just like my shirt or pants; I'm not going to step out my house with extra wrinkled clothes on, so I iron them. The same aplies for my shoes I don't want them extra creased either. Sure you can't stop it from happening all together but you can have it look decent. But some people don't care about how their clothes look too so I understand. Whatever floats your boat but I feel people should understand a persons view like mine and others on here. Just saying.

I throw them shoe trees away
