Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

[50inchvert]

Yeah, my black toes are trash. My Chicagos are slightly better.

That's surprising, guess I don't need the 2016 1s.

You can't base it on that. All 1's from the same style code (sku) are not created equal. It's on a shoe to shoe basis.

The 2016 Banned's I got leather is stiff as hell in relation to my other 1's. Doesn't mean all Banned's have stiff leather though.

AJ1 Double uppers have probably experienced having two pairs of the same shoe night and day from each other in terms of look and texture.

Dude stop. No one should reasonably expect Cole Haan level leather on a basketball shoe let alone AJ1s. You leather police are so annoying.

And "dude" it feels like plastic leather at the end of the day. It's not that serious. You people that say "this leather is so good" or "amazing" are funny because it's trash at the end of the day.

Trash by what standards though? Lemme guess you wish they'd been like the SBBs or something right? Leather on CHI 1s is as good as I would expect it to be for that shoe. Had they used a so called "better" leather I'm sure people like you would've eaten it up but it would've probably done nothing more than just alter the original intended look of the shoe. That said there is nothing plastic about the leather on 2015 Chi 1s. You're buggin.

Nope. I don't think the SBB's are all that impressive either. Like I said, it's funny when fools rave about the synthetics the shoe is made from. The outlet joints didn't impress me either. But this is a Jordan thread so a lot of yall are brainwashed into thinking it's good leather.

Just wished I owned a pair of 15 Chi 1s.

What's with the hostility on NT today?

 

[donewithjs]

@alp should be the first male NT model. But for real repped for actually wearing the Satins.

I agree with this...to an extent. It's also a little unreasonable to call AJ1s basketball shoes at this point. Even though for all intents and purposes they are basketball shoes, very few people are actually wearing them to play basketball. Most are just wearing them casually. Original release did also have good leather quality (and many AJ1 retros thereafter). In addition, other brands (New Balance, Diadora, etc.) produce runners with great leather quality. While runners are not basketball shoes, both still fall under the category of "performance" shoes. 

All in all, I think your argument should be that we shouldn't expect high quality materials from Jordan Brand, if anything. Just my two cents though. 

 

[babyjs23]

I think for a $160 shoe, nobody should have high expectations on the materials used but, there have been a few that definitely got our attentions as consumers and was a very nice step up from what we've been given prior.

What do you think of the Chicagos? Good leather? Bad leather?

Just saw the metallic reds at the mall. They look nice. Will have to buy when they're on discount

 

[slwilke13]

And I just realized you double posted. YOU don't know what you're talking about. Now keep it pushing.

They are made from a full-grain leather upper not a synthetic pleather FYI.

If its not they would open themselves up to a false advertisement suit. You not wanting to believe it doesn't make it any less true.
