Finally copped after searching for a size 12 in my area so i wouldnt have to wait on shipping. Got the last size 12, came out to $109 with the coupon code that i was able to use in store, wouldve saved $10 had i stacked a WC but its cool cause i just made my first FNL WC purchase View media item 887327
No doubt, thanksCongrats fam glad you got them
34 here!Just urious, those copping these, interested in them, or even know about these, safe to say we're all over 25+ in age?
you are correct.. it makes it easier to recall since they had jordan branding on their jerseys too if i remember correctly.Back when these dropped, If I recall correctly, JB only fitted Cal, Cincy, NC A&T and St. Johns.
At least i THINK those were the first 4 schools JB took care of.
My memory isn't what it once was.
you sure the upper was synthetic on the OGs? I remember the upper being pretty thick back in the day and looking/feeling/smelling like real leather.. hmm maybe not.The materials used are, synthetic leather upper, Phylon and dual zoom - heel and forefoot. I think even the OG's had the sam synthetic upper as well.
JB did a really nice job with the retro itself. The look of the shoe is on point and it really has the appearance of the originals. I was just really disappointed when I put them on and then really inspected them. For nostalgia purposes they are great and I am glad that they decided to bring this model back. From a materials standpoint I feel like they really took the cheap way out and made a shoe less than it could have and should have been.
turning 33.. got the black and white ones as a bday gift for one of my good friends who had the OGs in high school and went on to wear them for like 10 years lol... disappointed to hear the leather is lacking on these, hopefully the nostalgia is good enough
well if they aren't going to put quality materials on the numbered retros, they wouldn't have any particular reason to put it on these

i didn't own a OG pair myself in high school, but all my teammates had em and always talked about how comfortable and nice they were to play in.. i guess based off that memory i assumed the materials on these were top notch in 98...
yeah, i had the og black and white ones and i don't remember it being some great leather.. but the again i just wore them and wasn't really worried about the build as much back then
I guess we didn't really have to think about how good the materials were from release to release in 98. From what I remember, even if the leather wasn't "thicker" it at least molded/conformed to your foot well and could hold up outdoors or indoors. I'm sure these Team 1's would be fine to wear, I just don't think they are worth the asking price (unless you can stack some coupons

yeah i'll see what my buddies' reaction is when i give him these for his bday.. he'll probably say they are "horse ****" too lol

I showed them to a few friends of mine who either owned them or played with someone who owned the originals and the response was basically "those are horse****".
I hope not. Hopefully he is glad to see them again after all these years! I was too. I just felt ripped off, but that is my own fault for buying them without seeing them first.

he's not too much into basketball shoes anymore, so he probably won't even remember what the quality was like back then haha.. sorry you feel ripped off, hopefully you at least used the 20 off code like most here, i did as well.. that's why i bought em online instead of in store
