Matching is for kids

Coordinating is for adults

Respectfully

I was about to say, I try my best too coordinate and not to match. I think sometimes there’s overlap depending on the shoe. But I won’t knock folks who go that route. Especially as someone who enjoys a good flannel/overshirt lol
 
I was able to get my size on the 85 high from Nice Kicks….i wonder will these sell for under retail at some point
 
Metallics just came in.

For the black toe reimagined, they should just do it in an '85 cut and not these words on the side bs. JB needs to have someone who just looks at Niketalk all day to get ideas or something

It's intentional. They want to string us along for as long as possible without using their trump card. Making 1:1 ogs.
 
I know 😭 I just wish that JB would put a little more effort into their shoes nowadays. Honestly, I can't get mad a people for getting fakes because they don't wanna spend money on a retail Jordan 4
 
Why isn’t there a Nike By You program for 1s?

I understand that Jordan Brand is it’s own separate thing, but it seems like a no brainer given the popularity of NBY for AF1s, Air Maxes and dunks.

And Jordan 1s seem like one of the simplest, cheapest shoes to make.

…why wouldn’t they do it?

Because the hype would be gone. Resell would die on old pairs instantly. I’d make a SBB NBY J1 and all the other cw’s I’ve missed over the years.

Man I feel old saying this but I remember the NikeID days in the late 2000s/early 2010s where you could ID Jordan 1 Alphas and non-SB Dunks on NDC. This was before the Jordan 1 High OG releases you see everywhere were commonplace (as they were really rare) and they kinda set up Alphas as a "new" Jumpman-branded AJ 1 mids/highs like they did with Phats (which were SB/skateboarding influenced AJ 1s) and the fusion series AJ 1 'XX where they would take design elements of other AJ retros and apply them to the AJ 1s (i.e. AJ 1 '97 with the AJ 13s).
