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

[Lucky13s]

I don’t think Nike/JB has been resting on it’s laurels necessarily, they’re just not focused on 1 Highs (unfortunately). They’ve had some amazing Dunks especially, and also some great Jordan 4s, Air Max 90s, Jordan 1 Mids (relatively speaking), etc.

I don’t own any but Jordan 35s are attractive. Looks are debatable but AM2090s are extremely comfortable. Overall I think Nike/JB had a great 2020 despite our disappointment in their offering of 1 Highs. I can easily come up with a list of 50+ pairs from Nike/JB worthy of my money.

New Balance seems to be stepping it up, so good for them. But Adidas??? Utter trash. Any other brands even worth mentioning? Nike/JB is like LeBron. We’re so used to their greatness that we take them for granted sometimes. And sure, it’s okay to critique them and expect greatness from them all the time, but it’s only fair to take a step back and appreciate the greatness they constantly give us.

Very true on the Dunk, and Dunk SBs for that matter, point. They’ve been putting more energy into both SB and regular Dunks than they have in a long time. Not just energy into dropping dope colorways, but lots of energy marketing and hyping them.

Oh, and I meant to say Lucky13s , good listing of the 1s from the past three years. Detailed. I agree with almost everything.

The quality and design of the shoes are secondary at this point, from JB's perspective they're doubling down on collaborations so that they can gain entry and exposure in markets that traditionally wouldn't buy Jordan gear (i.e. JBalvin fans, Union fans, 'insert obscure designer here' fans). It's a great marketing strategy

 

[sneakaprince]

Jordan Brand is doing it's best to really get the best or most popping people in various fields to collaborate with them.

It's a good strategy, for years they wanted to make another Mike and have that person carry on the linage of the Air Jordan. That just doesn't work we can love Melo, Ray, Dwade, and Zion but they ain't Mike.

Instead of doing that they are now using collaborations to bring new life into pre established silhouettes.

Looks good. Definitely IN for a new pair..... even tho my old pair still looks new. My fav AJKO colorway by far.

Could this mean Chicago 1s are not far behind?

 

[sneakaprince]

Never buying another KO with that Vandal/ OG sole. Sorry give me the other version.

[NToweG]

I'll take AjKo's with an aged looking sole. If not, I pass.

If that’s the product in the photo, it looks to be 1:1 with the OG shape. I’m in.

got the blk/red from 85 earlier this year.

 

[adm3]

Unds today

 

[50inchvert]

The toe shape on the previous AJKO release was horrid. Hopefully that in-hand photo is legit!

 

[aNYone]

I swear AJKo's use to go for $75 now they're gonna be outta here lol

 

[airthompson]

^^^350s used to reach 2k, college inspired dunks were at outlets on green dollar, Pony’s outsold Jordan’s in the 80s

there’s peaks and valleys in the shoe market. We know this.

I went sail...my brother went black. When we wanna change it up....we'll trade. It's easy when you're the same size

This trust fund baby from Cleveland, pulled up to Chi and got a FSR, my guess from Footlocker State St, smh

Why are you assuming Footlocker and not St. Alfred?

They did that already when they retroed them the very first time. And it wiped right off with a baby wipe thankfully so it didn't look like I walked through mud.

I'm in for a pair of these. Skipped out on all the AJKOs since that very first pair.

Very aware of that & I want more...

I mean it wouldn't be hard to replicate. Wet your midsole and go walk through a dirt field.
