They're fine. The color barely changed. Mixed too much water with the bleach. Gonna just scrub them with a brush and bleach

I'm in !!! But single up, i don't think i will wear them as much as my ogs/atmos so they will live longer (or if i found a good discount for the double up^^)

Definite double up bc I doubt they'll be back anytime soon. At least with og reds we know we'll get them every 5-7 years.

I'm no Yeezy fan, but the yeezy vs. Roshe comparison is a bit unfair.
Truth is, folks have been wearing Adidas since the beginning of hip hop. Yes, kanye West has a great deal to do with why Adidas is where it is today...he has a huge cult following that will like anything he does no matter what. But, Nike had him and let him walk. Can't blame Adidas for that. If kanye was still at Nike and wore vandals, would you call vandal wearers Hypebeasts?
Ultra boost are a great looking, super comfortable running/lifestyle shoe period. That product stands on its own merit.
The air Jordan 1 has always been a solid shoe. But, Before kanye, there aren't alot of sneakerheads that could honestly say that the Jordan 1 was their favorite or even high on their list. Post kanye, the 1 is the MOST POPULAR Jordan model.
If you think hypebeast anytime you see someone wear boost, the same must be said almost everyone you see someone wear a Jordan 1

1. Yes I would, if he was the reason they were wearing it
2. I cant believe you actually typed this. Favorite...maybe, but the shoe that started it all? No one cared about this?
3. I dont agree, at all

Yes
UB sat on shelves for like 4 months. Kanye then wore them to a basketball game and they sold out the next day. Knowing that, it's kinda hard to say the shoe stands on its own merit. It literally only gained popularity when Kanye wore it.

Guys im pretty sure most of us here don’t care about your yeezy debate especially in the air max 1thread so can you continue in pm?
Regarding the aqua, they look a bit too bright and i would have prefer a darker colors like the initial release.

Come on homie...the Jordan 1 popularity skyrocketed after Kanye started wearing them on a regular basis. That's just a fact.
You don't have to agree. But it is a fact

Ok. And? Kanye is a pitchman...a very successful one. Just because people didn't recognize it at first doesn't mean that it's a butt ugly uncomfortable shoe. Tons of new folks in this thread everyday. Some are new fans, some are just here for resell gains. Either way, it takes nothing away from what the air max 1 has always been.
This isn't an Adidas v. Nike debate. Like what you like.
This is a rebuttal to calling anyone wearing yeezy/ultra boost a hypebeast and small minded thinking that the only reason they wear the brand is because "yeezy wears it"

No need to get this defensive over being called a hypebeast.

Thought it was because of him jumping in the air with the white pairs on. Either way, all the hate for Nike escalated right after Kanye went on his rant and his little stans started to follow him.
Never saw an appeal to any of the hype. don't understand why people would wear awkward looking booties that say "human" and "race" on them but they're not for me to understand.

yeah those Pharrell shoes are so wack.
give me Pharrell’s dunk high from the artist series Nike did over those anyday. I don’t care if one is worth over 1k and the other is just an all black dunk. Dunks are timeless

Still can’t believe we’re comparing 2-year-old models to 30-year-old models.
