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

[0takusamsay]

Yeah? What does it say about them? Metallics hit the outlets.

What's your point? Did you get em? Did you like em? Fan of the keloid? Like the crimsons? Metallics were sleepers all the way through and were unjustly slept on being an 85' colorway. Plus, the metallics came out when 1s were still being slept on. I recall the years they came out people were still sleeping on other pairs like the top 3s RSBB etc 1 hype is at its highest at the moment. So it's a false equivalency on your part. Stick with the other 19' releases and compare & contrast.

Oh, you like the $5000 white and pink Jordans but not the $200 black and pink Jordans. Interesting.

You know damn well it’s not the same. Stop lol

You keep saying it says something about the shoe, and I reminded you that a shoe that you think is great ended up at the outlets. And no, people weren’t sleeping one 1s two years ago, that’s just false. Also, bigger sizes of ROTY (another shoe you like) didn’t instantly sell out either. We don’t even know how many pairs of these joints were made. So no, I don’t think it tells us much of anything.

Rust Pinks would do like the Crimson Tints if they both saw the same production levels. Just dudes that don't like pink.

 

[WASHED KING]

Which ever one of you thought of keloid leather I hope you're proud of yourself, we're gunna hear that reference quite often now lmao.

 

[beasly151]

Speaking of RPs if anyone has both would like to see a crimson tint side by side pic with rust pink for shade comparison.

Here ya go

 

[3god]

The “leather” tells me everything.

 

[WASHED KING]

Here ya go

They look yellow compared to the RP.

 

[trackrunner221]

buy now think later.

With that colorblocking, the one that everyone champions. Yeah it kinda does. That colorblocking is used super rarely and for a pink/black version to release of it it was opted to be an instant hit and sellout. It would of been if the super tumbling with a sheen wasnt all over it.

You're welcome

Smh, copped the wrong size on snkrs and didnt realize it until a lil bit ago. Because of Nike's inability to cancel my order 2hrs after now I have to wait until I have the tracking info. I had to call in and purchase another in the correct size.

 

[0takusamsay]

Here ya go

A pair I'll never be able to get, those rust pinks should of been a gr. I would of loved to have them but a $4000 price tag is not the wave.

 

[eddiemcnasty]

peach & salmon

 

[jordanhead718212]

Nah, if the issue was the leather then there’d be no reason to even mention the rust pinks. This is just the case of a hypebeast being a hypebeast.

I think you're dragging it just a lil bit but ight lol

 

[dhtowng]

Yeah the price is just ignorant on rust pinks. Wanted those so bad . Gonna have to hit the lotto for a pair now.

 

[the 718 truth]

Lucked out and got both jackets and the red pants on NDC clearance a little bit after drop. They just showed up one day out of nowhere. Found the blue pants at a joint in Canada. Literally the only piece they had left was 1 2xl in the royal pants.

Oh so it was you who copped them huh
I think it was Capsule. Well at least they went to a good home.

The leather looks bad, I think we all agree. But "bigger sizes not instantly selling out" doesn't tell us much other than those sizes don't have much resale value. Most people on here think highly of Game Royals and ROTY, and both of those had bigger sizes sitting for a bit. There's been tons of shoes that have sat, even in money sizes, that are now worth a lot. Again, we don't know production numbers, so "bigger sizes sitting" tells us even less.

In today's sneaker world, I think a shoe selling out has more to do with resale value, perceived limitedness, and other outside factors more than the actual shoe.

It's similar to music, an artist or album being very popular doesn't tell us much about it's quality, whereas there are tons of great artists and songs that don't do big numbers.

Metallics would still go on clearance and top 3s and rsbb sold out instantly lol

 

[turbo95eg6]

You're welcome

I vote that we call you Mr. Keloid from now on

Online they did but they were still available for quite some time at a lot of stores around me at the time.

Nah, lumpy space prince would be a better name

 

[ihust1e]

Still says a lot about the shoe. Is this the fake sellout method people talk about?

my guess is alot of cancels bc they not reselling

 

[ihust1e]

I like the keloid pinks more than the rustys. Shrugs lol

 

[0takusamsay]

my guess is alot of cancels bc they not reselling

Probably, I just want a clear date and confirmation for the yellow toes already.
