OFFICIAL "What The" AJ1 Thread

Nike has a thing for taking a slew of colorways for a particular sneaker model and mashing them together on one special edition release. It all began with the “What The Dunk” back in 2007 for Nike’s Skateboarding division, while the most recent silhouette to get this mash-up was the Kobe X back in December. But Nike’s not stopping there; word on the street is that Jordan Brand will try its hand at the “What The” theme with the iconic Air Jordan 1. Modern Noteriety reports that this release will mix three of the more popular color schemes — Royal, Bred and Chicago — in a release that is scheduled for later this year.

What do ya’ll think? Would you rather see another Jordan model get the “What The” treatment or would you pair different colorways than what was mentioned? via HYPEBEAST

I don't usually start threads but this could be major! Let's get that rumor and speculation train rolling!


I'll update as more info becomes available.

This could be amazing or horrible.

I feel like this could go either way, it will either turn out really dope or really whack.

All other "What The" releases have had a different pattern on each shoe. I expect these will be no different. So I'm thinking of the Lance Mountains as inspiration.

Kobe 9 didn't. Same pattern on both shoes.

I hope these rumors are true. The photoshop I saw was dope

Hope it has at least one metallic swoosh.

If both shoes match each other it should be catorgorized "greedy" AJ 1 like the Air Max 95s.

this pair is doomed to fail. in no scenario will any released pair please everyone, there will be something left out. they should release a "trinity" model with the same concept and Banned or SBB quality

People with connections know that these are not What The's, but the dummies will still try to dispute that.

Please enlighten me as to what they are? I'll delete the thread and start an accurate one.
