99% of the time clean/new looks better than aged/worn. But some shoes do seem like it’s supposed to look a lil beat. Chucks for example. As for Jordans tbh when I first unboxed my Pollens the first thing I noticed was the midsole looked almost TOO white and bright for that colorway. Like it was too distracting for something that’s not supposed to distract you. So out of all my 1s I wear the Pollens the most and now I do think they look more “natural” if that makes sense

They messed up the pollens, the shade of gold is terrible.

I'm really mad at myself for selling my Iowa dunks to fund my pollens. The pollens are one of the worst Jordans I've ever seen and it was such an easy layup for JB.

I used to have one pollen and one of the recent Iowas but I got rid of the Pollens too.
Now I have two Iowa Dunks.

Has anyone every bought from a Canadian seller on ebay?
Is there any difference, aside from the monetary conversion of Canadian to US dollars?

I could be wrong, but I don’t think they do the authentication. I know for 100% fact they don’t for stuff from England.

It says Authenticity Guarantee on the listings.
I just can't help but wonder why there are three Canadian listings for a size 11.5...all three priced at exactly $402.66, American dollars.
...cheaper than most listings.

Damn. The colorway is the exact same lmao. But I prefer hightop 1s over dunk highs anyway and yeah pollens are more mustard colored but IMO that makes it more compatible with earth tones. White shirt + greenish pants and you’re good

That mustard color was just a waste to me, Nike has some great yellows and golds in their archive, I feel like they missed with those pollens.
goldenrod
canyon gold
del sol
maize
Any of these would have been better.

They definitely chose by far the worst yellow for pollens

Should've just bought taxi's like Davey said. The white breaks up the yellow and the sail midsole works really well and doesn't make it "too white and distracting". Never thought I'd wear a yellow shoe until I bought the taxis and now they're one of my favorite 1's.

So these are supposed to be a little longer than your typical Jordan 1.
Do they look bigger on your feet?
…that’s what I’m hearing from some of my YouTube celebrity sneaker reviewer friends.

Out gettin donuts. I think I'm gonna coffee dip these at the end of the year and dye the midsole yellow so people respect these more.
Jk jk
these are so dang good to me now. They look so close to the OG now. The light Neutral Grey looks more like the darker "Natural" Grey now. Definitely taking side by side pictures with my DS pair just to see the transformation.

Yeah true I wish I had an OG to compare them to. My goal with these 85s is to double up on all OG colorways and wear the 1st pair like it's 1985 and beat them up/ age them naturally then take side by sides pics with the DS-to lightly worn pairs. Just to see how wear affected the shoe. If I ever come into a ton of money and luck I'd cop the Original (85-86 run) and do the same.
