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

[sneakaprince]

How can Royals not be appreciated?

…they’re top 5 easy.

In 2014 they were top 3 and not 3.

It's kind of funny watching what is and isn't the best Jordan 1. I think the 16s being so easily attainable made people forget how highly sought after the Royals were for a while.

A big reason the Frags are what they are is because they were basically a Royals version of the Black Toes.

Breds, Royals, Shadows easily my top 3. I know there is something special about the Chi's but give me Bred/ Royal colorblocking any day of the week over those.

I had frags and they really ain’t anything special IMO.

They’re nice but def not worth the price

Don’t they have the good premium leather?

…that raw **** from Bolivia.

The box on the sky lines are better than the shoes. Easy pass for me hate canvas on Jordan’s especially Jordan 1 should’ve a easy cop

 

[Davey Magoo]

Is it true that the 85s run longer than the regular 1s?

I have a seller on eBay reaching out to me with an offer on a pair of Neutral Greys.

I think he's itching to move them quick.

...might be able to get him down to 3-fiddy.

Royals are my favorite AJ1. I try to buy every OG high version they drop if I like them.

Also, fragments aren't worth the price they are NOW, but the second hand price of them for many years went from $800-$2000 & it was definitely worth it at those prices. When they first dropped the first few months or so it was $500-$700.

The color blocking is awesome, the materials are nice, they break in well & the cut is great. Just a great executed AJ1 IMO. I see people pay way more for other shoes that simply did not put in the same effort.

Fragments are nice but I wouldn't call it effort they were a good way of introducing the new "remastered" 1s

When the movie comes out April 4th what joints will you be rocking to check it out

 

[skaterplayer808]

happy to add these to my collection

Damn, my size too. How much you end up paying? I've been going back on forth on buying a pair. Might just wait out the reimagined even if it's nubuck instead of leather or whatever material they've been speculating.

 

[skaterplayer808]

I got them for just under 300 shipped on ebay with that coupon code someone posted a couple pages back

Nvm got the answer. That's crazy for that condition. I've been looking at listings for J1 royals in size 9 for a while and never came across these. Were they in the authentication guaranteed section? Wondering if maybe that filter caused me to miss this.

 

[witnesskb24]

I got frags right around $450-$500 when they first released. Like I said they’re nice but not worth what they fetch for now

 

[85ROY]

I pull the insole out, scrub it down and let it dry and I wash the entire shoe by hand. Inside and out.

I just bought my first pair of "only worn twice" shoes.. 2017 royals... im just wondering for those who have done it b4 how do you sanitize the insides?

Soap and water?

...toothbrush?

I'm still heated my credit card denied my purchase on Goat for $2000. By the time I went back to re-purchase, they were gone. After that, they all jumped to $3000

Just an awesome looking shoe. I would consider paying $3000 but by now, I feel like everything is fake out there

 

[casper90403]

all the way in for Washed Heritages. Give me 2

Just your sneaker cleaner of choice and the provided brushes. I’m using Jason Markk now. Just because that’s what I got a few Christmas’ ago.

Go .5 size up

 

[Davey Magoo]

Go .5 size up

But if they’re longer, don’t that leave an awkwardly large amount of space at the end?

That’s why I got rid of mine, they're extremely narrow for TTS. Not to mention the materials were too clunky and uncomfortable. That’s if you even look past the bulbous toes.

Folks here still be gushing over them tho.

But if they’re longer, don’t that leave an awkwardly large amount of space at the end?

All of my 85’s, including NGs, are more TTS than not. I definitely wouldn’t go a half-size up and I’d be worried about going a half-size down.

Appreciate it.

 

[Liquid Swords]

Concur, TTS for 85s

 

[KanyIZZY]

I might be done with Highs that aren't OG's.. 85s are special. (not perfect but still) and the reimagined Chi's are REALLY good (95ish).
