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

[spoonmanofthehour]

That black leather looks awful, which is a shame because the colorway is so nice.

Precisely. Only way I'll buy them is if I get a deal for 80 bucks out the door like the Hyper Royal's.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

Reminds me of the skin of a dinosaur.

Keloid leather is a no-go for me.

 

[KanyIZZY]

Same leather as the BC III's and suddenly its super terrible lol. (No IDC about your BC III leather opinions)

 

[Lucky13s]

Really?

Which part? The "I'll probably still go for them" part? The colorway is too nice, it'll be hard for me to resist.

Cuz it's on a 1. People dont mind tumbling but this is super pebbled and is likely more akin to the leather on the city of flights. Not the same as the BC3

These weren't soft lol

Then they should say that (It's that it's on a 1), because there's nothing wrong with that leather. And I haven't held either of them.. so maybe its not the same.. but I highly doubt it.. it's pebbled leather.. its all the same stuff.

[hnguy4]

kinda does look like bc3 leather. if it was just on the side panel and not all black parts for the 1s it wouldn't be as bad.

 

[therefill]

That leather does look kinda nasty on the 1s
Might try to cop - depends on how that Travis Scott 1 release treats me though.

 

[cool...but rude]

4/11 on SNKRS for the pinks

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

F them patents lol

August seems so far away...giving me blue balls

I have the BC3s, and have seen and held the the City of Flight 1s (which the Hyper Pink leather looks identical to IMO), and they’re quite different. The BC3 is tumbled, whereas the City of Flight leather is like pebbled or like textured to look the way I’d imagine dinosaur skin would look like. Also, while I’m not against the leather itself, on a 1 it’s not a good look IMO.

And just like that these got moved to May 11th...i was looking forward to seeing these in hand

I’ll be back in NYC for Mother’s Day Weekend. Growing up, I used to hit up Jamaica Ave for Js. Any word on what’s the reputable spots on the ave nowadays?

Tumble leather looks pretty bad on the hyper pinks.

They may feel somewhat different but BC III's don't have tumbled leather.. its pebbled. That is a defining quality of the Jordan 3. Tumbled leather is what you see on most OG Jordan I's like the Banned and Royals. It's probably a little MORE pebbled but they are all pebbled.. City's, III's, Pinks..

Look at what you did j mobile

Ain’t this the way bang bangs are laced???

Hahaha. My bad. I’m out here starting sh!+. Hahaha. And you’re right about the Jordan 3 being pebbled vs tumbled. Slip of the tongue. Guess I was just pointing out the fact that on the City of Flights it’s soooo exaggerated/pronounced. Looks pretty different in person in comparison IMO. Either way, though I’m passing as I’m not a fan, I hope those that want them are able to get them (especially with all the confusion surrounding when they actually drop).

Those obsidian toe joints will be had

assuming you mean fakes, yeah since all those UA/rep makers are usually the source of leaked pics.
