Damn, those Chicago's on the previous page. :emoji_fire:

My pair is so dead and far gone, I need a new pair for sure but prices are looking super heavy.

SSB seems to be the standard nowadays for a high quality Retro 1, but lets not forget that the Chicago 1 is straight butter. Arguably some of the softest leather used on recent Jordan's. I feel like they aren't mentioned amongst the high quality Jordan's due to the lack of people that actually own them.
 
I haven’t opened the box to my Barons since I got them in Spring 2014 on release day. I’m honestly afraid to open the box now because I know those kicks, although technically DS, are going to look like they were used in a head and shoulders commercial. Best to leave them in the back of my closet until I have to face reality with that pair. Hopefully they won’t have to go straight to the dumpster by the time I actually finally open them (probably 5-10 years from now).
whats the point in having the shoe then? Wouldn't you rather have the bad news now and perhaps get rid of them?

I own both and I can easily tell the Chis are going to be the more comfortable pair out of the two. Chis are all butter, sbbs are extreme butter in some places and hard cheese the rest.

Some day I'll definitely be selling the sbbs, I'll never sell the Chis.
 
Speaking of Chicagos, I had a vision yesterday that they're about to rerelease them again with the big swoosh and retooled midsole. 2020 seems like a good enough year for it. Probably have some campaign about having 20/20 vision on the rebuild. Like MJ did when he focused on becoming the best in the world blah blah blah
 
Really excited for Shadows.:nthat: Thats how the Banned and Royals shouldve really released (even though Im fine with the turnout).
 
Awesome... thanks for the reply...

When applying - did you put it on a cloth and then just work into the shoe that way?

Can't wait to use this on my breds... pulled them out the other day and they looked ashy as well even after wiping them off with a damp cloth...

Yeah, put a very small amount on the cloth and work it in softly in a circular motion. Let sit overnight and then buff off with a dry cloth.
I never pour anything directly on anything, unless it's in the name of love.
 
I don't think the majority of this forum will allow that kind of calm and sensible reaction. You're supposed to have a massive meltdown, question the sneaker gods, contemplate liquidating those glittered pairs for pennies on the dollar because they're clearly ruined, and you can never ever ever consider wearing those shoes with glitter because you and/or other people might question your sexuality. /s
