@AIRGOLDEN2123 From your experience, how big of a difference does it make to store the 1s with or without laces?

^ I wanna preface that I do wear all of my 1s. I moved to CT 4 years ago and the winters up here (at least this one) have been nasty snow wise. So until spring, I cleaned them and stored them unlaced to let them loosen up. Unlacing doesn't make a huge difference. I did take out those cardboard ankle things out that can bend the tongue in though.

I know how it is, I live in MA. I am just asking because I doubled up on most of my 1s. Ill bring them out as soon as I wear out the current rotation, but that's gonna be a while. I want them to be in the best shape poosible for when I choose to pull them out.

The Tiempos look pretty decent once you remove that velcro soccer tongue. Materials are CRAZY on those... probably best leathers I've felt on Nike's in a long time. I shed a tear when I think those leathers could actually be on the OG 1's... smdh JB.

. Nice collection. Yeah the Metallic pack is great, but the deal breaker was that damn pebbled leather. Could've been worse however cuz they originally were supposed to drop with that "Do the Right Thing" themed sockliner.

I actually liked that lining 
Don't even remember what it looks like anymore, but it was probably horrible since my tastes were a bit odd. That collection is mean though
airgolden2123
, I'll definitely be starting the hunt again 
I'll never live down the fact that I was waiting for a black X release of the Banneds when they hit outlets, or that I was dead set against paying $220 for resale on them
**** was wrong with the 17 year old me, bruh?

^^^^
why were these even considered to commemorate the movie with the Metallic pack, when the 4's were the shoes featured in it?
Then they proceeded to make a DTRT 3 .... JB logic

Yeah, that print is unnecessary as hell
In hindsight, that really DIDN'T make much sense. Should have been some White Cement IVs actually done right.

actually, I kinda like the DTRT Liner on the Sea greens. It goes with the color scheme as well as the theme, unlike the red pair

Ha that pic is killing me. Thanks again.

I'm with you on the leather (not to mention the funky quality), JB hit a bizarre, rough patch during the initial reintroduction of the Jordan 1 high following 2001 IMO. I don't get there correlation to the film either (and I'm grateful they dropped that lining haha, sorry
Gordonson
), and don't beat yourself up over missing Banned 1s, we've all got a laundry list of those moments. Hell, I wish the "1 year ago version of me" didn't think paying $450 for Blk/Gld 1s was crazy.
And

, no Black Toe AJKOs weren't original. These, to my knowledge are the only OG colors photographed in existance. Airjordanism lists others too but I've never seen em.

What is a fair price for these Vegas 1s? I've been trying to sell them but I'm not sure
