Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

[Larry Legend]

Good run, it’s over

 

[therefill]

That transition gonna look nasty for those Lakers imo
But as a Laker fan those seem like a no-brainer to cop.

the

Wow, finally pictures of the Lakers pair rubbed off. The Laker color is so dope and the layer underneath looks good - I was waiting for those pics because I would be out if they were more pink than red. I'm 100% in. Hope I can get a pair

Those were my thoughts exactly. Good luck i hope you get 1...or 2. Im going for 2. But we will see lol

So why is the Lakers colors OG anyways? Is there a story behind it?

 

[airraab]

These gonna be limited or a GR'd SB

 

[steelj]

Is the story behind these still the 91 Finals? A better story would have been the history of OG 1s above followed by putting the shoe in the vault for a while. But with SBB 3.0 etc coming guess that’s not the case.

The thinking is that it’s his fraternity colors.

 

[eddiemcnasty]

Can someone post the pic with all the OG 1’s

the pic @lippythelion posted includes samples and f&f releases...afaik, these were the colorways that were released to the public:

That wouldn't make sense at all. That was the VI era

 

[caroquintero]

you’re on a site where cats tape the logo on the insole so it won’t fade or rub away

good luck but it’s possible I guess

I figured that but I know a lot of people take out the insole and out different ones.
Reason asking. I bought a vnds pair too good of a price to pass on but no insoles. So I was kinda looking for an original insole.

THe Lakers isn’t OG .... it was a sample colorway

Interesting that the sb's go from no31 to no1 on that pic that gets posted here. It's like that's the story.. Lol..

 

[vinotwofour]

they did the Lakers VI's for the whole first championship thing. The "chi" underneath the lakers looks more magenta than a chicago red. I'd keep it lakers color personally.

 

[Gordonson]

They go from #31 to #4 actually

But yeah, I have little doubt that the designers on this new set have seen that chart before.

Who ever sold you the pair did you a favor. Put a more comfortable insoles in those.

If it makes anyone feel better. Dont think of the colorway as a Lakers colorway. Think of it as MJ's frat, Omega Psi Phi. That's what they were originally paying homage to with the OG unicorn samples, The School Daze pack back in 09 to now. The Lakers had an official shoe/shoe holder already in Magic Johnson with the Weapons.

It’s not even essentially... that’s what they are representing. People will call them what they want tho

The thinking is that it’s his fraternity colors.

Bingo

 

[Getting_Busy_Since_89]

In for two personal pair of Sb Chicago/Lakers

UnDS this morning

People thinking they have a shot at 2 pairs of Purples

Close enough..
I guess the red sole would have screwed the vibe up but I'd probably prefer them with the black tongue. No31 had a purple sole, so that wouldn't have really worked unless they 2-toned it like those 1/2 hybrids.

Air ships!

Well, not really. The midsole and outsole are wrong. But amazing nonetheless

Yeah it's more of a tease but obviously we all want the correct version. This more so paid tribute to something that has never been done before by others among the general consensus.
