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

[staffsgtdignam]

Haha I’m old so I remember when Shadows were considered the quintessential Raiders’ AJ 1 cw but, you’re right, Silver Toes are fair more appropriate.

 

[rbk93]

Didn't know that. Just checked I guess it's not much over retail from 12W and below. 12.5W and up is different.

^i'll shoot my shot

Marinas do nothing for me and I gotta be one of the biggest Royal 1s fans I know.

The 2.0 color blocking isn't for me.

 

[nuclear1990]

Nothing wrong with those Marinas for me. I just don't want them either.

 

[vinotwofour]

probably because you're too big of a royal 1 fan that you hate the bastard look-alikes lol.

I like the marinas, but the black leather looks like cheap plastic/cardboard to me. Are yall calling it Royal 2.0 (like shadow 2.0) or are they Reverse Storm Blues (like reverse banned)

 

[Kamara4Life]

KOTD.. these joints kinda nice.. feeling the lace swap

 

[rbk93]

Nike outlet apparently had a restock of the Women's Twist release. Knew absolutely nothing about them even existing until today, but the resale prices on StockX are kind of insane.

 

[slaughterx]

Those ugly *** hairy joints?

I didn't know if the nicknames were reverse like you said or 2.0.

I went with 2.0 cuz of the shadows.

I don't even think I'm too biased on Royals I just don't think the reverse has the same effect. I feel like the OG blocking has just right amount of black and blue. Something about the inverse/ reverse/ 2.0 is too much of the other color and not enough black. It throws off the balance.

 

[rbk93]

Yeah. Seems like people cleaned up on pairs though.

 

[sneakaprince]

Ppl were desperate for black and white 1s for a sec.

I could be wrong but the resurgence of the dunk and release of those black and white lows last year probably cooled the fires for a sec.


There was a brief period in this thread where ppl were calling black and whites the GOAT 1 colorway.

I agree, thats why I always liked the black/red over the chicagos. The colorblocking for me on the shadow, royals, black/red is the best IMO. Thats why they're the holy trinity

 

[headdetective]

When cats think 1's, they think Chi's or Black/reds.

If those 2 aren't in your trinity you trippin lol

 

[sneakaprince]

Here we go again

1. Breds
2. Royals
3a. Shadows
3b. Chicago's
3c. Black toes

 

[headdetective]

Chi, Black/Red, Black Toe

How can this be debatable lol

 

[lovehateself]

breds
royals
shadows

the OG holy trinity
word to the NT pizza party

 

[rbk93]

Black Toe, Shadow, Chicago.

 

[michael ballack]

Breds were all that mattered. Shame for da glitter.

 

[aceofjays]

Chi
Bred
Royal

 

[thegamemodo9]

JB literally released a top 3 for the Bred, Chi, and Royal.....even they spoke on this. Though given the way the shoe is laid out it might as well be a top 4 cause you can see Black Toe in it too.

 

[keepemfresh]

1. Breds

2. Royals

3. Black Toes

I don’t include Chi’s cuz I don’t have them

 

[turbo95eg6]
