Air Jordan 7 “Flint Grey “ Spring 2021

[zombiejohnny]

why are these laces so thin?? the laces used to be wider but now.. herbalife laces

I feel 7's always had pretty thin laces, having said that these laces are def thinner.

The truth is these were garbage as OGs. The colorway never made sense. We were just dumb youngins who fell for the retro+ gimmick and we wanted every release no matter what and we didn't know any better. So now as grown men, it's easy to identify trash and pass on it.

This was the era of Peapods and Green Beans JB was going crazy

I bought these again, I have to say the dark shade of grade is exactly the reason I sold them... I had put sneaker cleaner on them when I originally had them and they turned that dark shade and I panicked sold them in HS and then ran to buy them again but they were sold out... this new retro just does not match what they were... this is the first time I am actually disappointed by a JB product, oh well.

I didn't see that, let me check it out

Ended up getting a pair

Swapped the laces with some extra AJ1s and added the chrome tips from the OG laces.

Working on the suede...

Before

After

How are you doing this to the suede?

*First time doing this so I don't know how well it will hold up over time*


This is what I used,

Rosin Bag Technique
"The rosin bag method is the most effective way to lighten suede. You can purchase rosin bags from many sporting goods stores. These bags contain a powder made from a plant extract, and are intended for use to enhance hand grip in sports such as tennis, baseball, and rock climbing. The powder works by absorbing moisture.

To lighten suede, simply pat the bag all over the fabric, and brush excess powder from the surface using a suede brush"



I suggest to do one layer at a time but make sure to count the amount applied to match each shoe.

Don't over do it, less is more.

The rosin powder goes everywhere so be sure to do it outside or near a window.

As you can see it doesn't damage the suede

 

[kilroythedon]

Whoa so you done?? How does it look finished

[strictlystyles]

a lot of people have bad taste.

I look at ugly kicks just like I look at ones that look good.

you got the bad taste son. sorry

STL Foot Action, DM 8f you need an opp

 

[kilroythedon]

yeah I gotta do this

Complete opposite imo.

Plus the midsole on the 2011 was wrong color. I did like that retro, but the 2015 was def closer to the og.

Had the OG in ‘92 and can confirm.

 

[ejb]

After the 2015 hare 7s the shape was just off I hated that little bump on the toe I guess that’s how the OGs was “Remastered”

The OG had that bump too.

 

[ejb]

Got my pair in from Stockx. Very happy with how they fit and feel. And the quality too. Great retro and slept on IMO. Made me love the VII again (the Bordeaux were my first ever Jordans in '92). Had the Citrus in '06 and I hated the fit and shape (sold them). These feel and look like how I remember the OG.

 

[ragone408]

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you do this?

 

[ejb]

God I hope they come out with the Bordeaux in this shape too now.

 

[Mo2vated]

Did a lace swap with some laces I bought on Amazon. Shoe definitely looks MUCH better in my opinion.

 

[squatchnt]

Just checked out my size on EB, check them if you're still looking.

I dunno why but I feel the 7's are one of those Jordans that look more clean loosely untied compared to them being tied. I also feel having them loosely untied make them look less long on feet. What do you guys think?

7s are def one of the more unlaced-friendly AJs..
