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

[Lucky13s]

No other 1’s matter this year besides the Yellow Toes and the Coffee Dipped Chicagos.

Those UNC lows decent as well.

I really like the Birkins.

Spoiler: comparison of vibes to 85 neutral greys (courtesy of reddit user moyval2474):

-

low-key one of my favorite details is the centered "nike air" text on the tag (bugs the f*** out of me when that ish ain't centered)

also have no idea what's going on in the last picture (looks like the pic itself is warped or something)



still holding out for white soles and laces, though

as somebody who refuses to open an instagram account, i need y'all to start pestering him about it until he changes his mind

Those 85s aren't even close in comparison. VRL does it better than nike themselves. You dudes in here that swear by these 🗑 85s, please make it make sense.

Damn those vibes are

No one needs to make it make sense to you.. if you don’t like them then don’t buy them.

masshi were the vibes worth the purchase price?

They cool but they aren’t Jordan 1s

SB lows are timeless imho

Dunk SBs, both Lows and Highs, in general are timeless to me, but I feel it. Been my favorite shoe since the first time I saw Pro Bs in 1999 as a 13 year old, and that's never changing.

He posted something recently that said his English isn't great, and he doesn't quite understand some of the detailed questions being asked, but that this IS the design and it's not negotiable. Sounded like people were on him about getting rid of the "handmade in China" stitching.

Translation: "Charm is dead right. We can't make any logical sense of it."

don't have a pair myself; pics are from reddit

everybody who has a pair raves about them, though


there are a handful of video reviews up on youtube, in addition to reddit posts (you'll get better results on google if you search "viberemakelab" as one word rather than with spaces)

yeah, i've definitely read that he's pretty adamant about not modifying anything

which i can respect, but at the same time, i know i'm far from the only one who'd prefer white soles/laces


seems like it'd be such a minor accommodation, too, but his design, his rules i suppose

Taxi’s & Lost and Founds are the only 1s I’m checking for the rest of 2022.

2015s > L&Fs tho.

I think SB Dunks have maintained a consistent following due to the community nature of the shoe. You never see JB collaborating with many mom and pop shops like Nike SB did with skate shops. In fact, Nike/JB took away Jordan Brand accounts from a lot of mom and pop shops that were selling retros to increase profit margins on sales. Kinda hilarious since the “Lost and Found” Chi 1s that are coming out are, in part, an homage to some of these small businesses that they screwed over lmao

Sorry if already shared on here but this collection is insane

It's a similar story for the mom and pop skate shops. Nike forces them to buy bulk amounts of products no one wants if they want to have a Nike account and get the special dunk releases. Many owners have complained about how much product they have to push in order to have an account. And yes some shops have closed because of it.

On the plus side, it’s gotta be easier to push sub $100 Janoski’s and SB Blazers than $160+ Fusions/Team Js. I’m sure some skate shops have closed because they got stuck holding the bag for Nike but the Jordan Brand horror stories seem far worse.

Watched Weartesters review for the Stealth/white joints. EZ pass

 

[sphynx]

I’m just curious to see how fast these Stealths sell out or if they sit.

Wack or not, I can’t imagine these not instantly selling out in 2020-2021

 

[turbospartan]

I grabbed a pair. I love white and grey shoes, and supposedly these have nicer leather right?

 

[charmcitykid]

Easiest pass

 

[Majorbread]

They're nice but not 180 nice

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Love it lol
