THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

Got mine in and I think they're going to be a return. I did intentionally change the airbag color from this render screenshot, but besides that, I'm disappointed in the outsole/midsole color and fuzzy swoosh color vs the render. I think I'll return but I would reorder. Also @Sim23 I appreciate the veneer comparison. Veneers are my least fav of the ugly ducklings but I got the retros last year and wound up selling. Thought of those again when treelines came out and I like the treelines a lot more. @TexasDillo EG was my inspiration

The Leather Swoosh looks good in that color option too. I think it’s only the Turquoise Leather Swoosh that has the issue.

What size are these?? I’d cop.
My order still says “making” too. I’ll just be patient.
 
Thanks for the positive feedback, all. They're a size 11.5 but I want to wait to see if options come back before I make any moves. Materials are definitely great, and I'll say once again that the shape is admissible. Now that I'm home I see the fuzzy swoosh is kinda tricky. The color shifts slightly depending on how the light hits it. I know for sure I ordered gold for the fuzzy swoosh (same as leather, and if you look closely you can see the gold color in the render pic I posted), but it still looks more curry than anything. If I were to reorder, I would just do gold leather on both.

Pebbled or tumbled leather, as a general rule, is poor quality leather. Are there exceptions? Yes. I did not use the term “wrinkled.”

Except that I’m right. But at least this isn’t as bad as the AJ1 threads, where ignorance about leather quality is on high display every release.

I did because I was trying to mimic the Atmos Elephants and because mesh is more difficult to clean.

Point is you talking all that noise about “trash” leather, but still despite your feelings about quality you still went with the leather to have an Atmos inspired shoe, you see how silly you sound. FYI you really think the Og Atmos had that top shelf good leather? Like my guy said it’s ok to be wrong.

I don’t think the OG Atmos or any Nike has great leather, but I prefer the leather on the OG Atmos to those I’ve seen on these NBY pairs. I’ll compare when I have them in hand, though.

Why can’t I buy something that I believe to have a “trash” quality component? The leather is but one element of the shoe, and it doesn’t need to ruin the whole thing.
