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

[WASHED KING]

100 percent cop for me I to don’t not like them at first. But going to use black laces in them and it will make the shoe pop

If they had a red or black sole I could see myself making that purchase.

Haven’t been looking for a yellow 1 but in for the yellow toes as they take me back to the mid-aughts and the Puerto Rican day parade (in nyc) and the new love .... love

So Yellow Toes are a confirmed thing? If so and they aren't dumb limited they would be a nice addition.

Hate to bring the glitter subject up, but I think some of y'all might find this info useful.

My breds and royals suffered from glitter. I would wipe them down with Lexol leather cleaner before wearing and it would remove the glitter. A few days later, the glitter would be back.

In December, I wiped these down with vinegar, then used Saphir Renovateur to condition them, and stuck them back in their box. It's March now and still no glitter.

Happy Friday!

Did the same with my black toes and royals after I checked them after not wearing for a while and was hit with glitter. Had some Saphir I just bought for boots/dress shoes and i used it on the 1s.

No glitter a few days later and the leather was a little softer too so no complaints. I'll check again when i get back in town but that was about a month ago I believe.

See this is the wave I been on since last year. I only like the SBB colorblocking if it's something loud or different like the orange so I've been reserved on most pairs and same goes for any black toe variant. I look at my collection and gauge how many of a certain style I have and that dictates my purchase. I see that I only have two black toe remastered the 16' and Clay's so I feel the yellow ochre can be justified and I only have the SBB 1.0, Chameleons, and Pines in the colored toe format so the yellow toes seem like they can be justified. I still teeter on whether or not I want the court purples because every time I see them I'm underwhelmed and the chameleons when the light hits them right do become purple toes. I dont like having too much of 1 color blocking style cuz it gets crazy redundant along with the meat of my collection being 1's. People say you can never have too many and I disagree entirely. In my book the key for me is variety not just based on color but of other styles, models, and brands.

I 100% am with you on not wanting to be redundant. I have the Pine Green (toes), Court Purple (toes), Blk/Red toes, and All-Star/Chameleon (Toes). Actually, the only “Black Toe” blocked pair I have are my Unions. Leaning towards grabbing the Clays, but not sure. I’ve never had any SBBs, but the fact that they’re supposedly doing them in the Blk/Red (bred) color blocking via the 3.0 is why I’m definitely getting them, as the trinity of the Blk/Red, Royals, and Shadows are the only pairs I have in that blocking, and it’s an appropriate change from those original 3. Again, I’m not really into yellow that much anyways, so it’s a pass for me on these Yellow Toes regardless, but if it was say a Yellow Chi, I’d be a lot more keen on getting them, especially since that dope blocking is so rarely used.

Thankfully I ain't pull the trigger on the Ochre joints then.

I really like the clean look of the Ochres, I wonder what these yellow toes would look like with a white to box. Plus the mustard yellow shade of the Ochres is so nice, I would already own those if they hadn't been a euro release.

 

[Otaku]

I’m personally not really into yellow like that, and I’m honestly a little burned out on the “toe” color blocking, so I’m good on these yellow toes. It’s funny how they’re making everything a “(color) toe” color blocking, but the ROY are the only Chi color blocked pair I can think of off of the top of my head.

Those new Laker/Chi SBs are...

There haven't been to many other iterations that I can think of that are an exact color blocking match but there have been some close ones that have a few tweaks. Game royals, Spidermans, Kawhis, the grey pair of AJ1xSB, Travis Scotts. That's all I can think of.
