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

[Larry Legend]

I like the tumbled leather on the Breds, Bred Toes, Royals, SBB, etc.
Why don’t some of you? Just curious to hear opinions.

Because it’s not original, tumbled leather wasn’t even a thing in 1985 on basketball shoes, the 1 was never meant to be “luxurious” for me it’s off putting and just strange on that shoe... having said that the tumbled leather they’ve used on some of these is really nice, for me it’s not about the quality it’s about being true to the original

Anyone think the Bred Toes would make for good trade bait for actual Black Toes lol?

Not until like a year and some change later.
Bred toes gonna be $220-240 day of release.

Ahh okay. Seems similar to the convo in the 3 thread. They all want OG quality on those too. I personally don’t mind the current retros but that could be because I haven’t held an OG pair next to a recent retro. Also doesn’t bother me because it looks the same on feet.

All looks the same on foot to me. **** is overanalyzed sometimes.

I had a couple pairs of OG retros when I was 8 & 10 years old. I have no idea what the quality or comfort was like on them, nor did I care. Some people have amazing memories I guess

It's the lack of a black tongue

They really don't look the same on feet though lol

Tumbled leather doesn't matter to me, just again, have to wonder the decision process behind certain CWs and materials. EDIT: If a OG 1 released with tumbled leather all over, then that warrant complaints.

Seems like the only true to form OG 1s released so far are the Metallics and the Storm Blues. Maybe the UNCs and Chicago's as well.

The top 3 has good smooth leather. Wish the banned and royal had that same stuff.

 

[Larry Legend]

Those crocodile skin checks man... yuck lol

Sounds about right. Along with Black Toes. I can get jiggy with the tumbled but smooth looks way better on OG colorways.

If they release in Royal numbers sure. But if it's Banned #s? Not a chance

They’re gonna be released in royal numbers. If not more than royals

 

[rbk93]

Stock amount probably wouldn't matter so much for the Banned CW.

Red toes have the distinct look and feel of an OG colorway. They would be a lot of people’s grail 1s if they were in fact an OG. The lack of sentimental value is the only thing holding them back. It’s impressive when Jordan Brand is able to accomplish that with a retro+. Can’t think of many other times they have actually accomplished that?

Just can’t get excited for those. Don’t know why

Don’t force yourself lol.

Mid sole looks pink in that pic

Banned's wouldn't have been $300 off jump if they released in Royal 1s numbers

 

[Deleted member 42060]

no i’m not comparing blk red toes to the orig. black toe cw. i don’t have blk toes anyways yet i like the tongue on blk red toes and the quality. the player samples of blk toes should have been the og cw released imo.

still on the fence considering other sneakers and stuff

 

[Im speeding call the cops]

These are dope... would much rather have than some weak Off Whites for the price...



Made out of quality materials so it almost justifies the insane price.

i would like some python skin royal 1s or python skin air python

need gold toes and bred toes both in size 10 !

 

[tonytobacco]

Bred toes are kind of goofy looking ngl

 

[whoisthisguy]

Keep feeling that way y’all!

Bred Toes will be mine!

 

[3god]

Hope they sit. But know they won’t lol

 

[raposo927]

So these gold toes really about to be FCFS huh?
