Some of you guys forgot where we came from in terms of quality and comfort with JB after all these years.

I admit I went too far. But they aren't good quality at all. I just got the concord in they are cardboard quality. That was the reason I sold my 2013 chicagos.

Technically speaking. Quality include not only material, craftsmanship too. The OGs used lrgit meterial but they didn't have the craftsmanship we have today.

But as much as 1994s are valued and hyped, their quality isn't the best either. They literally have no padding and the leather isn't really too notch either. Probably comparable to the black and whites even.
The NA 2013 1s were a re-introduction back into the Nike Air branding and blank heel that a lot of us thought we would never see again. So craftsmanship is definitely better. Especially cause before that point, we mostly saw mids or highs a la Vegas 1's that still was cut short. And the comfort is much better on the 2013s than what it used to be pre 2013 for 1s. Correct me if I'm wrong but not even the 2001s have great comfort unless you swapped insoles.

That's why I got rid of my 94s. Just can't wear them. Hurts my feet. That's why I think remastered 1s will be better than OGs.

Balling in 1s back in the day is like wearing flip flops balling now. They were that bad but we had nothing else.

Didn't they have Adidas superstars? I balled in those hard and I thought they were solid hoop shoes.

Not talking about padding. Talking about walking and being on your feet all day and the kind of support and response it has

word. I think the
eitherway I'm not worried about quality or comfort for these at all, I like the mold and the colorway, and I happen to be a fan of fragment's collabs with carhartt and a few other brands. it could be a gr like the b/w ones or a limited release like it seems to be and I would still probably go out of my way to find the means to purchase them.
the only 1s I had before royals shadows and breds were 09 shadows (whatever the ones with the decent quality suede on em was) and the vegas...think I picked up bhm 3m ones as well. royals weren't even my size so I can't contrive about comfort or anything but quality was definitely lack luster to me.

@sunshineblotters your right in the early 80s guys started and the 90s guys enjoyed the commercial success but. I would take nwa, run dmc, beastie boys, ll cool j and public enemy any day of the week. To me they carried the load.

haven't been on this thread in weeks, and just read a lot of dumb **** catching up and some good **** too, but looking at these pics makes me sad. I NEED THESE regardless of the logo or what it says in the sole. These gonna be crazy hard to get and people saying you crazy to pay like 500 before it releases, I beg to differ cause I know someone who snapped on a pair for $940 USD in japan cause most going for more than 120,000 yen. I hope i can snag a pair online, but not expecting much. gonna have to see how much i gotta give up if i really want a pair

My HOH told me to comeback Sunday to see if they'll be getting them. As of now, they supposedly don't know. I'll defiantly be

The quality of the 2013 Black/Red wasn't that great at all. Glad I have Banned's instead.

Popular and important aren't synonymous.
The 80's guys nurtured a culture and the 90's guys also nurtured it and made it grow. Hell the 80's guys enjoyed the fruit of the 70's guys labor.

Royals & Breds are exact same leather quality
Shadows have that buttery thinner leather, better for no creasing & everyday wear
The Black Toe quality was bad
The Black White's quality was awesome also, soft white

Yall keep talking about the black toes like they don't have feelings. It's not like the leather was the one jb put on the bugs bunny 8s

Fragment quality looks better.
