Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Defiant $175

That crease is crazy! Omg! I’m questioning if that was done deliberately?? That’s wild man .

 

[wackazz]

Good things SNKRS has a 30 day return policy, worn or not. I’ll rock them and judge the crease issue personally before deciding.

Boy... was in line for 700’s and these at a boutique this morning but hit on SNKRS before they opened... so thankful... that boutique is final sale! These might not be sticking around unless there is some other aspect that blows me away.

 

[rooster]

Time to bust out the sneaker and force shields
Duck walk in full effect lol

 

[ballyeaz]

Low key surprised the hype is not that high on these

 

[Longevity.JPEG]

stock must've been crazy high on snkrs. both of my accounts, my moms, and my wife's hit..

I couldn't even get 1 pair off it and I did it right as it popped up too .SMH . Had to go with stockx while you're over there 3 for 3 lol

 

[Yafayn]

Defiant, couture, racing stripe...makes no sense LOL
They shoulda just went in on the banned storyline.

 

[Fozz]

Yikes at that crease. I think I may hold off nownlol

 

[elijahels]

I feel like that crease is the result of wearing a sneaker thats way too big.

 

[dachosen1]

How's the leather on these? It looks like doo doo from the pics...

Quality is trash. It’s a shiny pleather and tongue is thin.

No duck walk, but Forcefields will be in full effect.

That part is irrelevant, really. Too big or not, it’s the type of material used there. Anyone who doesn’t baby that area of the shoe, and allows it to bend in any way for an extended period of time, will create that effect. That’s based on materials used. It looked like a softer leather in original pics, now it looks stiffer and even more synthetic.

I’ll be doing the same thing. This is the play right here.

Nike/JB is 100% testing a new price point for OG AJ 1s with this release.

But don’t we get a higher priced kick around ASG for the last few years .... chameleons, lasers.

 

[ballyeaz]

Did Niketowns release this

Those were the only two and I believe lasers always have had a higher pricetag (i.e. laser 4s this year). The chameleon cw also were higher priced for the 6s and 31s that released as well. City of Flights were the usual $160.

100%

Some of the OG 1 lows from a few years ago had this same problem as well. I recall my Royal lows having really crappy toebox material like this.

That's how they try and get everyone buying at the higher price point. Whether it be lasering, All-star, Wings, Gatorade, or collabs, i.e. Union, Kaws, Levi's, OVO, Travis Scott. They do it with older/ Jumpman mold 1's too. They may add a aglet here, "better" material there, make it more limited and/ or initially release a shoe like its more limited than it really is, then raise the price. Example: you have 23NY which was $140, better than usual materials, and initially limited. Next day Jeter's for $160, better materials, limited. Then you get a super limited Frag collab with new mold at $190. Then the first release in 2015 is "Anniversary" "Lasers" for $185, DSM's $185, then you drop long awaited NA Chi's, for less than those for $160. BOOM, standard is $160 now. Also if you compare that to the premium $400 Pinnacles, that's a steal. They just try to rinse and repeat the process.

 

[Imani]

Prices are already on the rise, lol.

 

[starfox070]

These are trash

I rather actually just have cyber Monday 1’s.

Hell the sail 1’s with some of the most butter leather around deserve more love than these.

Wow, this is depressingly accurate.

Seen a few fb videos of a dude folding shoe in hand and no way they creased liked that one viral pic. Seems kinda fishy. Not defending this shoe but just easy to feed the haters lol

 

[hipstermike]

price is borderline close to a used pair of SLP joints so just get the used SLPs
