The crux of this whole discussion has become "I think thing I currently like will age well" / "I think thing I currently don't like won't age well"

Can see the age and distress projects on them Mochas now.
I like em. But am also not feeling em.
Maybe it’s too close to Travs.

the 1's didn't even have success selling when it first came out. But the design on it was familiar with a few nikes that looked like the 1's so that probably helped boost some popularity. 2's success was equally as bad, if not worse than the 1's. And 3's was tinker, the rest is history. Shame that people always associate the 3's with MJ's dunk contest, but MJ won his first dunk contest wearing 2's and those get zero recognition lol.

3rd tier - 8s, 10s, 13s, 14s

haha I know, I was just messing with you, fam... I don’t think anyone on NT would argue those three shoes are at the same level of design quality.

Nobody wore em because JB took a hiatus from the Nike air branding on 1’s.
Most jumpman 1’s are trash.

Yeah and I hate how Nike/JB are pushing so many Jumpman 1s nowadays... Some of the cws are decent but the branding and cheap materials kills them. Not to mention they’ve more or less completely killed the OG Air Jordan 1 low line (save for some limited run/collab).
Freakin’ Gentryfication of the Air Jordan 1 in its purest form.

No, nobody wore them because the slim silhoute didnt/doesnt look good with baggy Girbaud jeans, not bc of Air branding. Look up the III releases during the early 00s

some revisionist history going on. '01 release had overnight campouts at NTSF. how does that equate to no one wearing them? theres a difference between "no one was wearing them" and "i didn't wear them"

You have to understand that individuals who make the claim that no one was wearing a shoe 19 years ago most likely wasn’t aware of sneakers or alive in 2001. Not only that, said individual has somewhat of a point. The Air Jordan 1 is more popular now than it ever was before too. In 2001 all of us sneaker enthusiasts were still niche. This was a subculture that 9 out of 10 people were unaware existed. It still trips me out that this site has multiple generations spanning its membership base. For us older heads, we have watched trends come and go and comeback again.
