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

spoonmanofthehour Criticize the toe on the NG, BUT even entertain THAT colorblocking!? You have lost it for good!

I said I want to see the REAL shoe. I bet that’s not even close to what we are getting.

Yes, the toebox on the NG 1 sucks. Unless I see them fix it.

I don’t like bulbous toe 1s.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

You like that colorblocking?

I actually don’t.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

3god , I wore TONS of shoes like the NG 1s in the 80s. It’s too bad they can’t get them right. New Balance has no problem getting old shoes right.

 

[dblplay1212]

Don't even wear 1s but been wanting these for a minute. Love the details.

 

[wombat]

Who ever made the right shoe must have been drunk love these but fam that right shoe

Wonky right shoe evens out the scratched left shoe

 

[jordanhead718212]

^^ Yeah I still want those, been a Yankee fan my whole life.

Banned 'Disco' 1 custom where the historic silhouette is given a glitter ball treatment. An homage to MJs dislike of disco music.

Did these clean up nice? Thinking about buying a pair thats not as bad as these lol

Drunk right shoe is less noticeable than that **** vein on the left

i get pretty anal over bad qc too, but i can't tell what i'm supposed to be looking at on the right shoe

are the holes ever so slightly misaligned or something?

It came right off with little effort. No stains or anything like I've seen on some. Just brushed it off with a soft shoe brush and then wiped with sneaker cleaner and cloth.

Diors are so weak

diors are about more than just looks, but also the quality, craftsmanship and materials from what i hear. that said, u can't really call them weak without holding them in hand 1st. pretty sure that would change your perspective at least somewhat so...

Exactly. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

I get the quality aspect of them. But that doesn’t really matter if the design aspects are weak. The colorway is nothing breathtaking and the clear soles suck. The swoosh is not bad but ehh, not loving it. Of course I care about quality, but the look is the most important part, and I’m not feeling it.

See above before you respond, as if you know what the hell you are even saying, in regard to what I know and don’t know.

I’ll agree about the clear soles. They do suck. However, the colorway is better than your much beloved Neutral Grey’s. I don’t care if it’s an OG or not, it’s definitely not breathtaking. Not to mention the build is way better on the Dior’s.

The NG is not a “breathtaking”colorway and that is Obvious. I never said it was. But it is extremely clean and it is an OG, which gives it added attractiveness, whether you want to admit to it or not. It doesn’t hurt that MJ himself wore the shoe. The Dior colorway is nowhere near the NG in terms of cleanness, and overall aura and appeal. It is an extremely limited designer collab (woopty ****in doo) with clear design flaws.

Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Flight

 

[Splash_Golden]

Wasn’t feeling the original look to these. Had a homie customize and white out the midsole. Makes the shoes pop way more IMO.

 

[howeesp]

Please tell me more.

Zip ties with numbers on it. Check eBay or Amazon

Definitely looks better with the white midsole.

It didn’t have design flaws, it was clearly tailored to the traditional Dior color scheme that the brand is known for. Its equivalent to LV’s staple brown monogram. Anything else would’ve looked like a forced collab of an AJ1 with Dior branding thrown on the swoosh.
