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

[nickname.esco]

Bloodlines low key quality.
Hated em at first. But for 50 to 100.
wood.

Every year? No.

But when you've got 20+ releases a year. And when there were like 31 OG colorways.

I don't think it should be a stretch to expect 2 OGs a year. Even doing 2 a year you wouldn't double back for a full damn decade and a half.

I’d imagine if you look back they’ve released at minimum 2 OG colorways a year for the last several years

 

[staffsgtdignam]

What OG colorways are left? Felt like they got most of the good ones out of the way.

A bunch of metallic 1s would be a good start. Also they never bothered to finish the retro of the city pack 10s given they only released the Orlandos and Seattles (obviously I’m not counting Chi 10s here) and quit for whatever reason. We also DESPERATELY need a retro of the OG Chicago 2s and rest of the OG 16s, 17s, 18s, and FBIs (that MJ wore on the Wizards), which they’ve been sleeping on for whatever reason.

A few 11s and 12s too. Lots of 13s and 14s...refused to sell any of those. Waiting for OG colors on the 85 mold....why I sold off the remastered OG 1 colorways save for the Shadow....love that shoe too much

JB needs to come with the White/Blacks again already.....sick of the wait on those

Wrong.
NG 85s this year.
I think last before was....Shadows in....2018?

Someone correct me if that's not right.

I made a list of the last time every OG was retroed here.

The last time each OG Jordan 1-14 colorway was retroed

I made this list of the last time each OG Jordan 1-14 colorway was retroed. Note that this list doesn't include any OG lows. I’ll keep this post updated when OGs retro. Never Air Jordan 1 White / Metallic Orange "Metallic Orange" Air Jordan 1 White / Metallic Black "Metallic Black" Air Jordan...

Nice job. So I was right. 2021 and then 2018 before it which was...one pair. And 2017 was...one pair. 2016 had a handful.

That's unacceptable.

 

[nuclear1990]

I just realized I have every OG retro from 2017 to now other than 1s, City 10s, and Candy Canes. I didn't see those Candy Canes selling out so fast.

2016 was definitely the best year for OG 1s. Five pairs that year.

No that’s 100% correct

 

[whoisthisguy]

What makes you say that?

apologies on the late reply..

-Uninspired CW’s
-Barely any OG’s
-Trash Quality
-AJ1’s been bastardized
-AJ1’s lost their appeal (IMO)

Then now dudes with their own independent brands are makin their own AJ1’s. I get they are inspired or paying homage to it but some of it is jus a quick money grab. Don’t get me wrong tho some of the independent brands version of their AJ1’s aren’t bad but sometimes it’s jus TOO over done with others.

“Lemme throw a fish net on the side instead of the swoosh because I grew up in the fish market and the only Jays I had were the AJ1 Mids. I’m payin homage!!”

Go to Alibaba and make your own then flex on ya haters like this....

I love AJ1’s and always will but iono I’m jus in a different place now when it comes to shoes. Haven’t really been copping anything lately either been more focused on my health, marriage, and new position at my job. *shrugs*

All of this that I bolded happened before, too. I mentioned the darkest ages of Jordan 1s a few pages back, 2007-2012. And then look what happened. Almost all OGs from 2013-2018. Let's see what comes next.

interesting to me what ones you kept versus letting go

obviously the heat got you a lot of $ but still, surprised you let go some of the OG staples (banneds, chi, black toe, storms, royals etc)

Feel like the 85’s will probably bring back the OG’s. Definitely see Chicago’s up next.

 

[thepromisedland]

There's really no problem at all. It's pretty normal. If you went to a clothing store, you wanna see only two things on the rack or do you wanna have some options to choose from? Do you order the whole menu when you go out to a restaurant, or do you just pick what you want that night? If you don't like it and/or don't want it, ignore it. You'll be ok.

206to813 I'm sorry, I just don't get it. 1's have been getting milked like this for over a decade. If it wasn't dead after that, it's not dead now. I'd take almost all those "dead" 2020 releases over the **** they churned out pre-Nike air/remaster. Y'all rather go back to only a handful of 1s per year, with these being the 1s?

I think we all mentally blocked these out because they were so bad

Bloodlines

what’s really funny is bloodlines are going for almost 300$ Now.

 

[nickname.esco]

Funny how some shops didn’t raffle these rusty dusties.

like we know they ugly but what’s the deal?
no resale value = no raffle?

I am confusion.

I focused more on colors as opposed to the shoe itself just for wardrobe versatility. I let all the OG staples go because I figure they will eventually retro on the 85 mold, and I have enough to withstand the wait for them. And yah, the money on those OG's was nice hah

The game likes the color green

You are correct, Shadows were technically the last OG cw released before NGs. Not sure what the last OG cw released before those was-2017 Royals, I believe? 2015-2016 had a BUNCH of OG cw releases though.

[spoonmanofthehour]

These are nice.

Blue more than anything lol. But yah...green is my second favorite. But if you look at the list....it has pretty much every color in a primary color wheel....that was my objective.

 

[classxsick]

1s definitely kind of died for me last year

4 picks up in total
Court Purp 2.0
Balvin
Mochas (for my girl).
Grabbed Neutral Grey's this year.

I have a couple pairs of 1s on preorder with Zadehkicks but the only one I really want is Patent Breds. Everything else will probably be used for trade bait since the hype machine with 1s is still going strong.

I see that the price for patent bred 1s is $300. is that the overall price? or just the service fee without the retail price included?
