Off-White x Air Jordan Thread - Rest In Peace Virgil Abloh

[zmoney3]

I’m tempted to cop off eBay.... is it safe with those random sellers? Even with authentication guarantee, I’m still weary. Thoughts for people who have bought from eBay?

Thanks for the info, appreciate it. Goat or StockX or any recommendation.

I go half size down on all 5s and 6s they just fit bigger to me and I go TTS on all other Js. Every time I look to compare prices it’s stockX that’s cheaper than goat.

Don’t pay $7-800 to end up with some cut up toes...

It’s the same random people sending shoes to stockx/goat. It’s not like those platforms are good at filtering out defective shoes. At least with eBay you can see the pair your buying.

I didn’t want to admit it but the white joints better than the blacks

The Sail is perfectly executed. It actually looks vintage, whereas only the sole on the Black pair does.

Here y’all go. Put that on.

ebay is the way to go for shoes been buying off there for years and years with very little issue.. It is by far the best place to score deals also. You just gotta keep an eye out, and always check the “newly listed” and “ending soonest” listings is the easiest way to spot good deals.

I just bought a pair of new chicago 13s for $220 shipped! The new authentication process obviously adds like an extra week of shipping time though.. But it’s nice to have. At some point in the future I’m sure the authentication will be optional and they’ll charge a small fee for it.

Copped yesterday from a local consignment shop...traded a pair of DS Concords that I had been sitting on & $200 cash for em...feels like a deal to me.

Only if that was your spare Concord?

Definitely was. I tripled up on release day and had been sitting on that pair for trade bait.

Got my Sails...Clean pair

Which Collab do you guys like the best?

 

[3god]

OW 5 it’s not even close!

 

[lacedemup]

^^^ I agree!

 

[1c3m4m]

Yea Ow by a landslide

 

[Lucky13s]

Unions 4s (both) > Off-White 5 Black > Travis 6 > Off-White 5 Sail

They're all dope though. Nike and their collaborators have been absolutely killing it the last few years.

Virgil, Chris Gibbs, Travis, Chitose Abe (Sacai), Aleali May. Almost every single pair these people have released have been great, and they've each released several. That's impressive. The one-off collabs have been great too, especially on Dunks.

Union bred toe > Ow black > union royal> ow white > trav 6 > unions

^ yea what he said lol

 

[EsyCop]

Can I get a legit check on this pair from a local seller?

These 5s are cool but if you hold all 3 in hand then it’s hard to ignore the cheap feeling on the ow5 compared to the other 2, especially the unions. The materials and build quality on unions is incredible by today’s standards.
All 3 are super dope though.

 

[montemex23]

Both are good to me, still think Virgil is overrated

 

[3god]

He’s made a lot of trash... but he’s also got a few classics...

“Build Quality” can’t save those 4s man. In fact, I’m gonna argue the build is pretty garbage, seeing as though the shape is nowhere near what a 4 should be.

I disagree. I think his edits as well as the materials correct for a lot of issues with that mold. Also the toe box slant is on point on most pairs I’ve seen. Flipping up the tongue is a huge mistake as far as the look. If you stop comparing it to a regular 4, it’s easier to appreciate the design.
