Jordan Retro 1 High “Laser” aka Custom Lasers Thread

The Last Few Pages In Here DEFINE The Problems In The Sneaker "Game" These Days :{

Buncha Sheep Runnin Around With No Ability To Use Their Heads :lol


I Personally Think These Pairs From Sobe Etc Are Most Likely Legit :rolleyes

Think About The "Lasering" Process On A Mass Production Scale For Just A Second Fella's.........

First And Foremost, The Act Of Lasering Leather Is In Essence The Burning Of Skin/Hide..... This Process Leaves Behind A Scab Or Tethering Or Fraying, Which Can Be Seen Ever So Slightly On These Kicks Along The Laser Print.

Second, Thousands Of Pairs Of These Were Produced Over What Appears To Have Been A Two Month Period, Prior To Which I Would Assume The Big Cuts Of Raw Leather Were Lasered In Preparation To Be Cut Into The Paneling To Make Up This Shoe. Of Course, All The Shoes In This Release Could Not Be Produced From A Single Piece Of Uniform Leather, And Thus Minor Inconsistencies Exist In The Leather Itself Due To Volume. The Panels Are Laid Out And The Laser Allowed To Cut It's Repeating Pattern Over And Over. As It Cuts It Hits Little Inconsistencies In The Leather, Denser Or Softer, More Grainy Or Smooth, Whatever The Case May Be And As Result, The Laser Cuts Deeper Here And Shallower There, Causing The Patter To Look Darker In Some Areas While Lighter In Others. Slight Variations In The Focus Of The Laser Itself Over Time Could Also Lead To This.

Now Take These Big Pieces Of Lasered Leather With Some Areas Darker, And Some Areas Lighter, Cut Em Into Thousands Of Different Little Patterns, Sort, Distribute And Have Thousands More Workers Assemble Into What Some Will Eventually Drive Themselves Senile Dissecting As Fakes :lol

This Is MASS PRODUCTION Children!!!!

There Always Has And Always Will Be Slight Variation In Final Products Based On Sheer Volume Of Production Alone!


I Will Gladly Post Necessary Photo's To Put An End To This Nonesense In Here :|




END RANT


*SideNote- Your Production Numbers Only Being One Month Span Is The Only Thing That Throws Me Off rebelmindz rebelmindz 8o

Sounds about right to me!
 
Anyone having buyers remorse?  The more I look at my pair, the less I'm liking the design.  Not sure if I'll actually get much wear out of these.

I guess I'm an older 'head.  Love the quality tho :Nthat  

Zero regrets and I'm old af. :lol

Definitely a Spring/Summer shoe tho imo.
 
No buyers remorse. I was always a fan of the 1's. Funny how since the 90's, every 1 retro setbin stores. Now in the past 2 years, the 1 craze has blown up! If it wasn't for a billion other releases this week, these would have sold out. When the smoke clears, people will try to double back around on these. Minus the Celtics, Reel's and Laney 1's, all of 1's resell price increased or will increase to more than double retail. I still think the celtic 1's will increase over time. I think the lasers and black /white 1's will climb just like the shadows. Remember how the shadows set for months......

Man, USPS doing us bad.. I've never waited longer than 3 days for priority..

I even tried calling my local post office this morning to see if I could pick it up after work and they said I'll have to wait until they attempt to make a delivery....

Apparently the packages were still being sorted to be shipped out to their location... 

With signature confirmation, I'll probably won't see these shoes till Monday if I don't catch the post man tomorrow...

Aight fellas, take it for what it's worth. I got both my lasers in, 1 from Sobe and 1 from NDC. Both pairs look good BUT the Sobe leather doesn't shimmer properly like the NDC leather. The Sobe has a very faint shimmer, pretty much not shimmering at all, while my NDC has a heavy shimmer.

They have the same production dates and they have the correct stitching on above the swoosh.

Care to share the production dates?
 
Just got my pair from Sobe and i'm in socal. USPS is wack, they came yesterday, but I wasn't home to sign for them. Anyways, leather feels similar to frags, soft. stitching above the swoosh is correct, and my production date is 9/10-10/28. My only gripe so far just from a quick look is that the nike air tag is slightly dirty on the right shoe =/.


Since it looks like there's only one pair from Kix that looks odd, i'm just gonna chalk it up to be bad QC. Kinda seems like the pairs that were finished around 11/xx/14 had better quality.
