Found an old photo of me in my first pair of J’s ever. OG GS pair with neon laces . Pretty nostalgic. Was prolly 6 or 7 years old.

Hell yeah man!!! Happy belated G-Day JRepp23 !!! And on a side note, I'm salty as hell at myself for sleepin' on these!

I dont even remember when those dropped but I'd probably prefer to stick with OG color ways for Flight 89's. They ruined the retros too and gave em AF1 leather lol. Never even owned a pair.

 

[JRepp23]

just cuz. Lol.

Mannn I can wear these everyday of the week! I wished I was able to get another pair they're like my all time favorite.

Once again, easily my most worn pair since they released in 2019.

Broo me too my pair is starting to yellow and this is my all time favorite shoe! I just cant see spending 400 on a pair with GoAT or 350+ for used/ beat lol

Any midsole paint chipping or cracking i should worry about happening with the 2019 bred 4s if i get a pair?

I haven’t had any paint chipping or cracking on my pair and I’ve been rocking em a few times a month since they released.

Part of the reason why Im scared to unDS my pair. Glad to hear they’re lasting longer than past iterations.

I'm glad I doubled up. My girl had the nerve to ask me why I'm buying two pairs of the same shoe - but then all of my pairs of 1s look the same just a different color according to her.

I feel like they fixed the paint issue in 2013/2014. I have a moderately used pair of toros that haven’t cracked. My 2012 breds cracked after like 2-3 wears.

Yeah brother I wear mine super often I love this shoe but there isn't any chipping on mine. But the grey part of the sole that wraps the side of your foot turns yellow fast. It's like dark yellow grey that's on the what the 4 pair.

that was also a problem on the 2012 retro.

See man I was hoping the grey on this pair wouldn't do that. I love these! Time to save some cash for another pair lol. I love those blue white cements for next year maybe just grab those and give these an my fire reds a break

Thanks. Not that bad in my opinion. My 2012’s grey eyelets yellowed pretty bad. I can deal with slight yellowing rather than that awful black paint chipping after 2 wears

Your welcome! Idk if I had put them away for like 3 weeks after seeing the yellow line but I swear to god I felt like it was super yellowed before I posted those shots. I'm paranoid of yellowing I hate it! I heard about that too that would drive me insane having that paint chip. I would repaint them daily lol!
