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

[staffsgtdignam]

You gotta be able to think for yourself and not be influenced by the resale market. There's more than few reto+ colors that are very well done.

Go ahead and name them then.

The retro+ cws that I named that have resell have it for a reason (mass appeal). Frags are the exception since they are an awesome cw but were insanely limited.

You just cited MASS APPEAL as some sort of rebuttal to you not thinking for yourself?

Did MJ play with Jumpman tag 1s?

He didn’t play in any 1s made after 1985, so that’s irrelevant. Unless you only buy and wear true OG 1s.

I was talking about market drivers, is that a hard concept for you to grasp?

 

[tonytobacco]

And suede only makes them better to me.

 

[staffsgtdignam]

Ah yes, BHITG pack.. complete with dodoobuck/fake suede.

 

[tonytobacco]

It’s real to me...

 

[tonytobacco]

And the green one is the classic, don’t let the blue and red diminish them. Yellows are cool too to a lesser extent

 

[staffsgtdignam]

Either way, they messed that pack up by not keeping the black toe color-blocking

 

[tonytobacco]

I felt the same way too until I got them

They need that little splash of color, it helps with that particular color on black

Black swoosh would’ve been to much B/W

You: "There’s only a few like SBBs, Frags, and Bred Toes that are actually worth keeping."

So, only the really expensive limited ones are worth keeping? Not ones that, you know, you actually like?

That's why we're saying you have to think for yourself.

 

[tonytobacco]

At least he didn’t say rust pinks

GM royals, BHTG (some more than others), and GT were all nice reto+ this year imo.

i like how people act like the shoes don't depend on the individual.....
some ppl think gisele bundchen looks like tom brady; others think she looks like a different man

You seemed to have completely missed my point. The REASON those retro+ cws resell for more over other releases is because they are popular cws. The only exception is Frags which were insanely limited.

Also, the “think for yourself” comment you made is a straw man argument coming from someone who is posting on a forum for popular sneakers.

Royals = poor quality
BHITG = ruined by lack of BT colorblocking
GT = good cw but patent creasing is an issue (also these are NRG so they’re somewhat limited, if we’re being fair)

Would y’all say that the satin SBB can serve as one’s poor man’s SBBs, of course considering that I care about the colorway more than the “”””quality”””?

they're the rich man's satin backboards; they stand alone well enough

Technically, Satin SBBs would be a poor woman’s SBBs.

That's just an opinion. GM royal def ait poor quality unless my pair is an anomaly. Disagree on BHTG pack as well. I'm not into the PL either but it's a crack retro +. There's 3 more years worth of retro + colorrways that i could mention but i won't waste bandwith.

Look at the earlier posts in the Game Royal thread-plenty of people complained about the poor leather quality. I own a pair myself and definitely agree.

 

[Lucky13s]

Nevermind.

 

[Liquid Swords]

What are we debating now? OG colorways vs everything else?

Just buy what you like and let others live.
