****, I was gonna wear them because I know AF1s hold up well but the patent scares me. Now I gotta decide if I want to wear them or just put them on display. SMH

The patent leather up till 2003 is more supple and pliable than the trash 'tumbled leather' they run these days, sadly it will crack. Happened to me on my '96 Black/Red XIs but the cracking wasn't too bad.
The dark patent leather won't discolour but the lighter colours will. If you're getting the shoes for a decent price then pull the trigger but be realistic about how long or often you intend on wearing the shoes.

Never seen or heard of that kid up until now but I can assure you that the AF1 'PSX' was released in such limited numbers that this kid won't influence anyone.

You’d be surprised. One of the top models/ fashion influencers right now. Every hypebeast/poser wants to wear what he wears

Didn't know of him either, at first he looks like any other NYC sneakerhead that stepped up to Superfuture and bought into those brands starting in 2004/5 onwards and combined the styles.
So I went to read his bio - He is from NYC and got scouted in SOHO. I guess for those outside of NYC his style is amazing, but for us over here that's seen it over and over again through the years and dressed like that before social media and Instagram, it's just whatever.
Good for him and his hustle though. Glad he's making it.
